Ipsy February

It seems like all my February subscription boxes have been coming early... Or maybe it's just that February is a really short month, so it seems everything is coming quicker than usual. But in my mailbox today, was February's Ipsy bag.

Ipsy is a $10.00 a month subscription makeup service. It's much more makeup oriented than say Birchbox. You sign up, there's a waiting list. The waiting time is about a month, but if you connect it to your facebook account, you tend to skip the line and become a member quicker.

You get 5-6 makeup products per bag, some are full-size, some are deluxe size, some are sample size. You also get a cute makeup bag every month. Your matches are based on a quiz, and they match your products based on a profile. I find Ipsy tends to send better products for me, than other services.

The bag was pink and Valentine's Day friendly, this month. I don't like pink. I was pretty sure it was going to be filled with pink and red and purple girly makeup. So I didn't really know what to expect... But Ipsy spoiled me this month.

My first sampler was Überliss RituOil, which is supposed to help with damaged hair. February seems to be the month of hair oil. A full-size is $19.50, I got a sample, which is worth about $9.25, because it's about a half of a regular size. So I guess this can technically be considered a deluxe sample. I have horribly dry hair with awful split-ends, so any product that will make my hair slightly less awful, is worth a gander in my book.

A 9 Pan Shadow Compact in Behind Blue Eyes from Jessie's Girl, full-size, worth $3.99.

I'm very excited that my entire palette is ice blue colors, medium blue, and silver and gray colors. These are all colors that I would wear. I am so happy I didn't get the Tickled Pink one, or another color combination. This combination is so me. I've never tried Jessie's Girl products before, but I always love eye shadow, so I'm very happy with this. I didn't swatch all the colors because I'm lazy though. 

 

Mally eyeliner in Starshine. Mine is full-size. It's worth $15.00... 

It has a nice tip, similar to the Urban Decay 24/7 eyeliner crayon tips. It's also waterproof like 24/7 is.

The color is a beautiful sparkly silver... I CANNOT WAIT TO WEAR IT, I LOVE SILVEREYELINER!!! It comes out nice and thick too, which is awesome :)

A full-size Zoya Nailpolish in Odette. Worth $9.00. It's an orchid color. It's a light pink purple color. I've heard lots of good things about their nailpolish, and I love purple polishes, so I'm excited to try this one out.

A Pop Beauty Plump Pout in Peony Petal. I think mine is full-size, which retails it at $15.00. I'm meh about lip color.

It's also a very dark and thick pink color and not something that I think I would wear. But I really can't complain... It's the one product I wasn't excited about in my bag, and it's only one product.

Math time. My February Ipsy bag was worth: $52.24 AND THAT'S WAY MORE THAN I PAID FOR IT!!!

I really really really liked my Ipsy bag this month. It wasn't all pink and girly... YAY!!! And I'll use most of the products, minus the lip product. 

For $10.00, Ipsy is really worth checking out :)
