It's
the middle of the month so that means another IPSY bag to open. I am
really enjoying these a lot. I have to admit I wasn't so sure about
them when I signed up but I am glad I did now.
This
is bag number 3 for me and I am definitely starting to have some
opinions on what I like to get and what really doesn't do it for me.
I have liked most the of the bags so far although I must say this
month is my least favorite and I will get into that in a bit. I have
liked most of the makeup and the nail polish I got I have used
several times now. As far as the skin items so far I haven't found
any that I even like.
Now
onto this month.
The
theme seems to be “Alter Ego” which seems appropriate with
Halloween coming at the end of this month.
The
bag.... Well I really like the gold side, very pretty and it feels
nice. As for the black side.... I really don't care for the shiny
black material. I know it is going to show every finger print and bit
of dust. Heck, it came out the envelope needing to be cleaned up. So
I have a feeling that this bag will end up sitting and not getting
used that much.
The
first item I pulled out of the bag was an eye shadow brush from Royal
& Langnickel with a retail value of $3.99. I am really excited about this because I know they
make some excellent artist brushes so I am looking forward to see if
this carries over to the make up brush too. I do love a good brush.
Next
was a tub of MICA Beauty Cosmetics cream eye shadow in bronze. I was
disappointed to find a crack on the top surface and it really feels
like a thick skin has formed on the top of the product. When I did
get down past this layer it is creamy and it is a pretty color. I
don't use a lot of cream shadows but sometimes they are just the what
is needed as a base under another product. I want to mention it was
actually hard to wash off the swatch I had on my hand so I am hoping
this means the product will wear all day when I do get around to
using it.
Our
next product was the Argan Face Serum from Nourish Organic retail price of the full size: $23.99. It is a
really thin oily product and remained sticky on my hand until I
washed it away. Not sure how that will translate to my face and I am
not sure I really want to find out. I really don't like sticky face
products.
The
liquid lipstick from Meet Matt(e) Hughes is a gorgeous color!! I
can't wait to try it out. I really hope it wears well because I love
the color that much! (full size retails for $17)
The
last item in the bag this month was a Scrub Me nice and gritty body scrub. I am excited about this one partly because of the fragrance. I
can't put my finger exactly on what it reminds me off just that it
for some reason makes me think of my grandma and grandpa's house from
when I was really little.Full size of this product (8 oz) is $22.99)
So
that was my bag for this month. Did you get an IPSY bag? What did you
get?
