Ipsy November 2014

Hello everyone!

 

 

Today I am bringing to you my Ipsy November 2014 bag. I usually cheat and look in my glam room to see what products I am getting, although, I did get a different color lip paint than what I saw in the picture. I wasn't very excited about the color in the picture, but I was super excited when I saw the color I did get! When I first opened my envelope I got excited because I thought I got a bonus product, but it turns out it was the IT Cosmetics under eye concealer. I think they didn't put it int he bag because they didn't want it to get squished or it didn't fit in there. I got a total of five products in my bag and they seem to be trial sized.

Bag Overview:

This month's Ipsy theme is Girl Meets Glitter. When I first opened the pink envelope I saw a product. It was the IT Cosmetics under eye cream, then I saw the bag which is a silver glittery small bag, and then I found this month's card.

This month's card on the front has a picture of three of the Ipsy spokes people with the tag line, "Girl Meets Glitter," and on the back it It says, "Life is short. Wear Glitter." And it has a bunch of ways to connect with Ipsy online. The car is cute.

The IT Cosmetics under eye concealer comes attached with a card that says, "Bye Bye Under Eye," and has a bunch of things listed about the product. On the back of the card it shows before and after pictures and directions for how to use the product.

When I open the bag I find the other four products inside. I will list all of the products in a little bit.

My first impression of the Ipsy bag this month is that it is super cute! I love the silver color and the glitter. I did find it a bit odd that the theme for November is glitter because I would think that would be better for like January theme and I also found it odd that none of the products inside were even related to glitter. I was expecting some glitter, but my bag did not come with any glitter. I guess the one glitter product that I can say I got was the highlighter. That appears to have some glitter in it. I am super excited because I have always wanted to try IT Cosmetics, but found it to be a bit out of my price range so I am excited to try the under eye concealer. I've heard of Be A Bombshell cosmetics, but that wasn't until recently so I am excited to see what they are all about. I have tried other J Cat products from other beauty subscription services, but I got a lip paint from Ipsy. I will admit I have never heard of lip paint, but I am excited to try it and see what it's all about. I have never heard of Temptu and I don't usually use highlighters, but I am willing to give this product a try. The last product I got was the Marc Anthony Morocco Oil Hairspray and I did not mark on my beauty quiz that I wanted hair products so I was very surprised in a disappointing way that I got hairspray. This is my most unfavored product in my bag this month. I guess it's better than last month's where I got hand cream, but this is along the same lines of me not liking it.

Ipsy November 2014 Products in My Bag:

IT Cosmetics under eye concealer in Neutral Medium
Be a Bombshell Eye Base (I assume an eye primer) in Submissive
Temptu S/B Highlighter in Pink Pearl
J Cat Wonder Lip Paint in Red Potion
Marc Anthony Morocco Oil Hairspray

Pros of this Month's Bag:

-I am super excited about trying IT Cosmetics product
-I am excited about trying the Be A Bombshell product
-I am good with the J Cat product, even though I'm not exactly sure how to use it
-I am neutral about the highlighter, I'm willing to give it a shot

Cons of this Month's Bag:

-this month's theme was glitter, but I only got two things that can be classified as glittery and that is the bag and the highlighter
-the theme does not seem to match the month, the glitter theme seems better suited for January than November
-I got hairspray as one of the products even though on my beauty quiz I did not mark I wanted any hair products at all. I'm not sure why they sent it to me, but it was a bit disappointing.

Overall, I am looking forward to trying out four of the five products. I am not sure what I am going to do with the hairspray yet, but I am trying to think of something. I know I am definitely not going to use it so I would rather find someone who will get some use out of it rather than throwing it away. I was thinking about doing a giveaway for it. Who ever wants it can comment in the comments section saying that they want it and I will do it old school style of putting names into a hat and pick a name. I will have to think about that. I will have more details in a separate blog and definitely video if I am going to do something like that.

Sincerely,
Marina
