January 2013 Ipsy Bag!

Hey loves! I got my first Ipsy bag and I was so excited I just have to show you! Ipsy is a monthly beauty subscription service that is $10 a month! You get a makeup bag and 4 to 5 beauty samples. Not just sample size either but real size! I will show you what I got and put retail prices at the end of the post along with some coupon codes for the items! I will also give my opinions on the items as I use them!! Let me know if you get Ipsy!

I for a navy blue medium sized makeup bag that has a star pattern inside. I am using it to store my going out makeup and love it!
The first thing I pulled out of the bag was the full sized Soho makeup brush! You could get one of three brushes and I got the eyeliner brush! This was the one I was hoping to get and use to help create smokey eyes. This retails for $7.99 and you can get it here: http://www.walgreens.com/search/results.jsp?N=2000010814&Ntt=Soho/?g. They have a sale going on now to get $3 off!

The next item is Big Sexy Hair Spray and Play Hairspray. This is a travel size and held my hair really well when I wore it in a bun to work for 7 hours and it smells amazing. This retails for $6 and you can get $5 off a purchase of $25 or more of Big Sexy Hair with the coupon code 70950 at ulta.com!

The next item is the Tuscan Blood Orange body butter. This stuff smells amazing and makes my hands so soft without making them greasy. This is a good sized bottle and fits great in a purse. This retails for $7 and you can get 20% off your order at http://www.pacificaperfume.com/natural-body-butter/tuscan-blood-orange-mini-body-butter-tube with coupon code beauty20.

Next up was Nailtini nail polish in the color Frappe. I was a little disappointed in this because you could get 2 colors either this sheer nude color or red. I got this one and it seems so sheer that I probably wont ever wear it. I am going to wear it at least once to see how long it lasts till it chips. The only good thing about this product is that it is full sized. Nailtini retails for $13 and you can get 30% off of a purchase with the code ipsystar here: http://www.tinibeauty.com/products/straight_up_color_frappe.cfm.

The last item was Josie Maran 100% Pure Argan oil that you can use on your nails, hair, skin, and face. I was so excited for this because it is a very luxurious oil. I have used it on my cuticles for a couple days and it has made my nails so much stronger and my cuticles less dry. The smallest bottle of this retails for $14 and you can get 15% off an order of $45 or more with the coupon code ipsy15 here: http://www.josiemarancosmetics.com/shop/ipsy.


Overall I rate my first bag a B-. I am excited about everything except for the nailpolish. Sheer nailpolish isn't my thing and I think they should have sent a more unique color for me to try.
The bag all together retails for about $48! That is a steal at $10 and I cannot wait to get my bag next month!
Let me know if you use any of the coupon codes or get Ipsy!
