February Ipsy Bag Review

Ipsy Bag Review February 2014

This is my first Ipsy Bag Review Blog, but this is my third Ipsy Bag. If you are unfamiliar, Ipsy is a subscription bag club. The price is great for someone that wants to invest a small amount for a monthly subscription plan. The cost is $10.00US automatically deducted from your account every month. Plus, you can discontinue at any time. I think it's super-fun to receive a little present for myself and I don't know what it is until it arrives. Ipsy does sneak peaks to reveal the bag and some of the contents, however some things are still a surprise.

The hot pink shipping envelope is Ipsy's signature packaging. There is a small card inside with the name of this months bag "The Look of Love." Every month there is a different cosmetic bag. This month's bag is pink for Valentine's day with a satin like multi pink print inside. The zipper is white with Ipsy printed on the circle shaped pull.

 

First, there is a Fresh start mask with ice age mud. Skyn Iceland sample of both step 1 Blue Clay and step 2 Activating Gel. It reads to be for smoothing and refining, "a detox and brightening intervention." I'm going to try this tonight and update this blog tomorrow. =)                                

 

J Cat Beauty Eyelashes + Eyelash glue. The truth is, I have never been able to put eyelashes on. =) I am looking forward to giving these a try the next time I have an occasion. I hope they don't make my eyes feel heavy.

 

This eye shadow caught me off guard. This is a cream to powder shadow in the color violette. When I first opened this it reminded me of lip gloss. The applicator is similar to one you would find in lip gloss as well. So, I put it on my lips. It tastes awful! (*Note to self: All future beauty products to be tested on the back of the hand first.) 

 

It's a beautiful color on the eye lid, neutral with only a slight rose hue.

 It goes on moist and creamy, then dries soft like a powder. It stays quite nicely too.  

 

My favorite item from this bag has been the Zoya professional nail lacquer. I believe the color is called Dot, which is a soft bubble gum pink. Initially, it took three coats before it looked evenly distributed. However, I was pleasantly surprised at how quickly it was dry to the touch and I was able to move freely. The next day, I did a fourth coat because I wanted a rich color. That was five days ago and my nails still look freshly manicured. There has been no chipping. Plus, I really liked the fact that it is the Big5free formula. There is No formaldehyde, formaldehyde resin, toluene, dibutyl phthalate or camphor. 

 

Finally, Pop Beauty Lip Gloss in Fuchsia Freesia. This is very pretty color.

There is very little scent, which is a bit like baby lotion.

There is no taste. (Which was quite refreshing after the eyeshadow incident.) 

It leaves a soft glossy feel to your lips and it seems to stay for a good amount of time.

 

 

Ultimately, I really like this months Ipsy Bag. 

For the last three months, I have tried some new things I hadn't heard of

and enjoyed some things I may not have purchased on my own.  

For a reasonable price I receive a little make up bag & fun beauty products in the mail.

 I will absolutely continue to subscribe to this Bag.

Valentine's Day is a day to share Love.

 

 A lot of people believe they need a significant other or they will never survive Valentine's Day.

That Love is about Romance. That without a special someone's affection there is no self-worth.

 

We disagree.

Holidays in general, are an amazing opportunity to connect with family and friends.

 

They are also a wonderful opportunity to spread happiness.

 

Show others they are loved.

Feel genuine happiness for someone when they receive a Valentine

because feeling sad only hurts yourself.

Greet everyone with a smile and a happy heart.

 

Remember that Chocolate isn't love.

Presents are not affection.

Hallmark Cards are another persons words.

Fresh cut flowers are just dying.

Fruit in a vase is just over-priced.

Stuffed Animals can not really hug back.

 

Everyone wants to know they are loved.

Everyone needs to know they are special.

Everyone has the power to make another feel loved and special.

This Valentine's Day we invite you to be happy.

We challenge you to spread joy!

Find your self worth in the happiness you bring to others.

Make this day and everyday a Magical Day worth remembering.

 

And remember

Your mom wants to be ♥Loved and thought about too!

If you stop to think about it,

 You have a lot of people in your life that would love for you to think of them on this day of LOVE♥

 

 

♥ ONE LAST THING ♥

We thought it would be fun to play with some Polymer Clay.

These are a few of our favorites from the evening.

 

Meeting Disney Characters in Disneyland

Meeting Disney Characters is so much fun! We try to take our family trips to Disneyland at least once a year since 2005. We have some favorite things we love to do in the park, but we realized after our first family vacation that our family pictures with the Disney Characters were the best family pictures we had taken all year. The truth is, everyone is happy in Disneyland! There is no reason to fake a smile for a picture in the happiest place on earth. =) It's just natural!

It's hard to decide on a favorite character you had your picture taken with. We think it changes every time we go. We often take turns guessing who we will see the next time we visit. We are always surprised by someone unexpected.
                                         
         Do you have a favorite Disney character?
    Who was your favorite Character you've met somewhere?
          Which Disney Character do you wish to meet?
