Thank you and have a Sunny Day!
The first was the Too Faced Beauty Blogger Darlings pack with 5 deluxe samples of the Chocolate Soleil bronzer, Better Than Sex Mascara, Shadow Insurance, and Poreless Primer.
The bronzer smells like chocolate and I am not quite sure how to properly contour yet so I haven't used it enough but I hear many people talking about how much they love it.
The Shadow Insurance Primer is AMAZING! It makes my shadows so vibrant and lasts all day long!
The face Primer does a good job at priming my face but since I have oily skin it does get oily quicker then when I use regular matte primer. I would mix this with matte primer if you have an oily face.
The Better Than Sex Mascara is AWESOME! I use it daily. I will link my first Impression video below.
Overall for $20 I highly recommend this kit to test out Too Faced Products!!
The next big item I got was the Urban Decay Anarchy Face Case. This is my first Urban Decay Purcahse and I am obsessed with it! It comes with 5 highly pigmented eyeshadows, a full sized lip crayon in a beautiful hot pink color, a black 24/7 glide on eyeliner that is nice, 2 blushes, and a highlighter.
The eyeshadows range from charcoal grays to chunky rose.
The Lip crayon is a hot hot pink and very pigmented.
The eyeliner is and perfect for the upcoming summer months. There is a hot pink blush and a more mauve coral color similar to NARS orgasm that I lvoe!
The highlighter is also amazing for under the brows and tops of the cheeks!

This months bag was pink and contained 5 items and I was super happy with it :)
The first item was a deluxe sample size of the Plump Pout Mini by Pop Beauty in the color Peony Petal. This is the perfect size to throw in a purse and the color is so thick and amazing! I compare it to a liquid lipstick.
The next item was a full sized Zoya nail polish in the color Dot! I always love getting Zoya in Ipsy. I haven't tried this color yet but I think its a great spring color.

Next is a full sized Be Matte Blush by City Color in the color Fresh Melon. We could get 4 different colors in the bag and this was the color I wanted. I like that it is Matte and the color is great.

This months box was full of items to help me get ready for a fun Valentines Day :)
The first item I pulled out was the Gorjana Brooks Jewelry Roll. This is a gorgeous orangy red color with 3 pockets to hold jewelry while you travel. I originally thought this was a clutch so I am going to use it both ways. I am using it this weekend to travel with my jewelry and so far I really like it! This comes in 4 colors.
**I still have a $25 off code for Gorjana so the first person to like my Unboxing, Subscribe to my channel and leave their email will get it **
Next was a Nourish Organic Pure Hydrating Argan Face Serum. This smells so delicious! I put it on at night and it give my face a soft radiant glow when I wake up! It also has rose hip oil to help fade my dark spots!
Next was an K Hall Designs Peony Travel Candle. This smells like Spring! I don't usually burn floral candles but my mom does so I will give this to her to put in her office.
Next was a Modelco Lip Pops Duo Lip gloss and Lipstick.
The lipstick color is a medium toned brown which is not something that I would wear or is flattering to me. The lip gloss side however is such a pretty peach with some shimmer and smells delicious! It feels amazing on the lips as well and would look great over corals, pinks, or nudes!
Next was a Dial Vitamin Boost Body wash and this smells soooo good! It has left my skin feeling so soft and moisturized and I love that it is my favorite color....Green!
Retail: $2.97
The final product was a packet of Cinnamon Candy hearts from SugarWish. These were delicious and so festive for the holiday.
Total Retail Value: $115.79!

The bag this month is a blue color with shadows of beauty products screen printed onto it. Its really fun and cute.
The first item I pulled out was the Coastal Scents Small Foundation Brush. I don't usually wear foundation and when I do I apply it with my fingers. I did however use this a few times and love it! It makes my foundation go on really smooth and flawlessly!
Next I pulled out a sample size of Apothederm Bright Skin Serum. I was excited to try this because I have discoloration on my skin. I haven't noticed a big change yet but I do enjoy using it.

Next was a MicaBeauty Tinted Lip Balm in the color Fiesta. It is a really pretty pink that is like a your lips but better color! I haven't used it alot yet but really looking forward to.
Next were Absolute! Makeup Cleansing Tissues in the scent Pomegranate. I don't normally use makeup remover wipes but I enjoyed bringing these into my routine. They are good at removing makeup even waterproof mascara and smell yummy!
The final product was Yaby liquid foundation in the color buff. I don't usually wear foundation because I don't need heavy coverage. I apply this with the foundation brush I received and love it! I get a light airbrushed look that doesn't look or feel heavy and I really enjoyed the color match.
Overall this bag was awesome! I tried a variety of items that I wouldn't never have tried if it wasn't for Ipsy. My favorite is the foundation and brush.

The first item in my box was a Malin + Goetz Detox Face Mask! I was so excited to get this because I am obsessed with face masks! This one was unlike any other I have ever tried! It goes on like a cream and as the time goes on it bubbles up and removes all the toxins from your face! It tingles and tickles and is so fun! I can't wait to use it again.
I was excited to receive the next item because I am interested in juicing! I got The Juice Generation Book. It is a book full of tips on how to start juicing, tips on what ingredients to use, and a ton of recipes. I can't wait to get a juicer of my own and try some recipes out!
Next I pulled out a pair of Jack + Lucy Tech Gloves. They are a lovely Charcoal color with black tips that help you text and use your touchscreen devices. These work really well and are warm! I didn't need any new gloves so I gave them to my sister and she loves them!
Retail: $19
I do recommend this product
Next is a Rifle Paper Co. 2014 Flip Around The World Desk Calendar. This is so cute! I have it on my coffee table and it is a great decoration piece. Each month features a drawn map of an international city. It sits up which is nice and a great conversation piece.
Next was a yummy snack! I got Pipsnacks white truffle pipcorn. They are mini popcorn kernels and are soooo yummy! My roommate and I are obsessed and love the tiny size and truffle flavor. The bag is huge and I don't know if I can eat the whole thing but she sure can!
The final item was a box of Revlon by Marchesa Nail Files. I haven't used these yet but love the lace pattern and can't wait to throw them in all my bags.
