February 2013 Ipsy Bag Review

Hello! I am here to put up what I got in my February 2013 Ipsy Bag and my reviews of the products so far :) Enjoy!

The first thing I pulled out of my bag was the Pixi Flawless and Poreless Face Primer. The bottle is a sample size and a bit smaller then I expected but still happy! The full sized retails for $30 at pixibeauty.com and right now you can get 20% off with code ipsypixi! I tried this out this morning and it went on smooth, and made my makeup last all day with no oil or shine so I like it so far! I would recommend this product

Next are the Lash Cards. These are cards that are supposed to help not get smudges of mascara on your upper and lower lids.This pack has 4 samples with a small size on one side and a large on the other for different eye shapes. These retail for these are $6.99 a pack at http://www.lashcard.com/shop/the-lash-card/?gg and with coupon code ipsy22 you can get buy 2 get 1 free lash cards. I found that these were a little tricky to use but they did help with not getting smudges on your eyelids If you always get makeup on your lids this products is defiantly for you.

Next I pulled out Pop Beauty Mascara in Lash Kapow. This is also sample sized and retails for $18.50. You can get this product http://www.popbeauty.co.uk/Popbeauty_Products/Eyes/Smokey_Lash_Kapow/ and get 20% off with code Ipsypop! UPDATE: I do NOT recommend this mascara. It doesn't hold curl, doesn't create volume and doesn't last all day. Its smudges.

Then I pulled out the Mica Beauty Gel Liner in Black. This seems to be full sized which is great since it retails at $30!!!! You can get it here http://www.micabeauty.com/gel-eyeliner.html/?gg and with the promo code Ipsy you can get 30% off and it comes with an applicator if you buy it online. I put this on this morning with an angled liner brush and it glides on sooooo smoothly and lasted all day with no clumping or smearing. I love it and highly recommend it!

Lastly I pulled out the Coastal Scents sample eyeshadow palette  I got the one with the yellows and olives. I expected this to be bigger but a little eye shadow goes a long way. I have yet to try this but I am thinking of making a beauty look involving it. You can get the palettes here http://www.coastalscents.com/?gggg and with the promo code ipsy25 you get 25% off!


Overall I rate this bag C+. I am defiantly going to try and use all the products on the regular but there wasn't a "POW" item that makes it stand out and that I was excited to try. In January's bad my POW item was the oil. The samples were tiny but it retails for over $30 so it is still a great bargain!
