After three months of ipsy I feel comfortable saying I'm truly enjoying it and don't see myself cancelling any time soon. Of the products I've received there are only a few I won't or haven't used and those will either be swapped for something I do want or donated to a women's shelter so someone else can enjoy them. So now to my bag!!!
Up first is the Aila nail polish in Mr. Pookies. This 2asnt personally my color. Is was very fall-y but I didn't love it and I usually wear fake nails so nail polish isn't really my thing. This product and company is 5 free so if you like nail polish and like natural products this is something to try although at $17 a bottle it's a little steep for my taste. I have 2 daughters who love to paint their nails and my and my husband's toenails so expensive nail polish really is a waste of money I usually stick to dollar store nail polish and it serves me just fine.
That being said I did swap this for the Doll 10 creme blush and I absolutely love it. I've worn it everytime I've done my makeup since receiving it.
Next I got the Briogeo volumizung spray. I had never heard of this brand before but then a week or so after I got my bag sephora was giving this same spray as a spend $25 promotional gift. I've used it a few times and I didn't really notice any difference. It smells good and I'm not totally disappointed but I doubt I'll be buying this product in the future.
The doucce eyeliner in black is absolutely amazing and has probably become my favorite product from this bag! It goes on great, stays on and was a fill size product which is always a plus. I use black eyeliner everytime I wear makeup so I can go through it like no one's business so I am always open to try a new one. I know some people think black is too harsh for everyday wear for them but for me it's a must have.
Jessies Girl eyeshadow primer was a surprising Rockstar of this bag. I didn't really expect much from it but after testing it and using it i was blown away. I did a swatch with and without this using the same eyeshadow and it took 3 applications of the shadow without get it close to as pigmented as one application with this primer. Honestly when I run out of eyeshadow primer this will probably be the one I purchase.
When I peeked at my bag early I was happy to see the Hikari lip gloss and was hoping for the shade merlot, which luckily is what I received. This is a beautiful color for fall and I thought it had a great formula. It wasn't overly sticky and I felt that it "dried" to what I would consider a moist stain which I thought was perfect. It lasted well after eating and drinking and I only reapplied once throughout the night wearing it.
Now for the bag, I'm a fan of houndstooth and I was pleasantly surprised that it was a plasticy bag which I think worked. This has probably been my favorite design that I've received so far.
