January Ipsy Bag

So I finally got my Ipsy bag. This month's theme is Fresh Start. The Bag is not very cute at all! It's dark blue on one side, white on the other, and the inside is a kind of coral color. I don't know, it just is ugly!

 Anyway....This month I received 5 samples.
1. Coastal Scents Liquid Eyeliner
2. Hey Honey Take It Off! Exfoliating Honey Peel Off Mask
3. Pacifica Natural Mineral Coconut Eye Shadow
4. (MALIN+GOETZ) Mojito Lip Balm
5. Laura Mercier Foundation Primer

I'm not very excited about these samples. But hey it was only $10 so I'm not going to complain that much...I haven't tried the honey take it off mask yet. I just used a mask yesterday, so I'm going to wait until next week to give this one a try. I will update you on it later. 

So For my Review

1. Coastal Scents Liquid Eyeliner (6ml)

This is my 2nd time now getting liquid eyeliner from Ipsy (I wish they would stop!) I don't wear liquid eyeliner. It's just not my thing. This one though I have to give some serious props. It is a PAIN to get off! Which is nice, you don't want your liner smudging every 2 seconds. The applicator is small and seems to be pretty nice. I guess if I wore liquid liner I would use this one. 

2. Hey Honey Take It Off! Exfoliating Honey Peel Off Mask (10 ml)

Like I said, I haven't given this a try yet, but I will update you when I do! I do like how it's not tested on animals!! 

3. Pacifica Natural Mineral Coconut Eye Shadow (0.08 oz)

I received the color Ethereal. This is actually kind of cute. Nice size sample, should last me quite a while. It gives a nice glittery shine. This wouldn't be my every day eye shadow but I would wear it on special occasions. Only negative is, its rubs off quite easily. Bummer...

4. (MALIN+GOETZ) Mojito Lip Balm (0.20 oz)

No...Just No...This reminds me of when I was a teen and everyone wanted that soaking wet lip look. I hated it! Now if you are interested in your lips looking drenched then this is for you. It smells a little bit minty but also has that weird medicine smell to it. It does stay on though! I had to rub and rub to get this off of my lips. 

5. Laura Mercier Foundation Primer (14.7ml/0.5fl oz)

I don't use foundation primer either...I know, I don't seem to use very much...But I use a powder makeup.. I have super sensitive skin (sucks)..This primer did smell nice, went on smooth, and seemed to stay put. But it made my powder cake on.


All in all I really did like the Pacifica Eye Shadow. I don't think I would buy it though. The sample size should last me a while. I have been receiving Ipsy samples for a few months now. I enjoy it. I love how they send you a sneak peak of what will be in your bag. It get's me excited to finally receive my samples! You also can take a quiz to determine your style. Which is completely different than Birchbox. Getting the different bags each month is nice perk too. I can always use them for when I travel. I'm pretty happy with Ipsy. Lets see what next months has in store!
