Hey
All!!!!
So
earlier this month I tweeted a poll about if you guys would rather see the box
showdown for January or individual unboxing’s. Well if you haven’t figured it
out by the title of this post individual posts won out!
My
first subscription to show up this month was my IPSY Glambag!
I did
a second poll a week ago about what unboxing you guys were looking forward to
the most and there was NO LOVE for IPSY. ZERO. ZIP. ZILCH.
BUT! I
think you guys will be pretty impressed with what IPSY sent out this month!
So
lets’ jump in!
AVEENO: Daily
Moisturizing Lotion
Funny
story! I actually use to use this lotion before I switched to the lotion I
currently use. I got a sample size which is perfect to throw in my purse and
use on the go! I love this lotion for dry hands but as an all over lotion it
just didn’t work that great for me which is why I switched. My cousin, on the other hand, swears by this
lotion! Depending on the size you get this can cost between $6.99- $10.99.
Trestique: Mini
Matte Lip Crayon in Florence Fig
So two
months ago we got this same thing just in a different color (November Bag). I am
a fan of these mini Matte lip crayons. I think the formulation is creamy and
pigmented. This particular color is a mauve/nude. I think this color is perfect
for all skin types! The full size of this product costs $28.00 but you can get
three minis in a set for $32.00 so this makes this individual one around $10.60
(which by the way I only pay $10 a month for this bag)
City Color:
Eyeshadow Trio in Falling Leaves
I have
never heard of this brand before. Their packaging states that they are cruelty
free which is always a plus. This trio is full size which retails for $5.99.
The main ingredient in this is Talc which I know someone people are not big
fans of, I personally don’t have an opinion on it.
I don’t
know if it was just me but I had the hardest time opening up the lid… I still
do. I think the packaging is sleek looking despite it being made of plastic. It
doesn’t come with a mirror but the top is clear so that you can see the colors
within.
As for
the colors there is a matte redish brown color, a sparkly brown with gold
flecks and a light tan color with silver flecks. All three colors feel about
the same. They aren’t too rough and powdery but they aren’t smooth like butter
they are somewhere right in the middle.
I didn’t have much fall out and they blended out nicely but they are not
very pigmented.
The
matte color is a very beautiful transition shade. The light color kind of
disappears when you blend it out but it does give off a slight glow that make
it good for a light make-up day. The brown with gold flecks is buildable and I
think with some fix + that it would really make it pop.

HONEY
YASSSSS! This eyeliner is GORGEOUS! I didn’t realize what was missing in my
life until this beauty! It pops with my blue eyes and stays right where I put
it! There is one downside to it though, if you are planning on smoking it out,
good luck. This is a full size eyeliner which retails for $17.00! (DANG IPSY
killing it with the full size products!)
Ofra Cosmetic:
Eyebrow Pencil in Universal
I’m
gonna be honest and I was REALLY impressed with this brow pencil. It is the
only brow pencil I have been using since I got it. I was complimented twice
when I wore it to a friend’s birthday party and let’s be real no one is just
gonna compliment your brows unless they look killa.
This
filled in my brows beautifully and blended out great with a spoolie. I didn’t
have to set it at all and it didn’t slide down my face. This is a full size
product which retails for $13.00.
Holy
Moly full size products! I honestly thought that maybe IPSY and Boxycharm got
confused this month! I only have one sample this month in the bag which by the
way is super adorable. So not including that the total value of stuff sent this
month was $46.49… I pay $10.00 a month... let that soak in a minute.
I’m
not sure why IPSY didn’t get any love on twitter this month but it is
definitely getting love from me! A great bag to start off the year!
Next
unboxing will be my BIRCHBOX! So check back soon for that!
Until
Then!

I've been taking a break from subscription boxes of the last six months & I have never tried IPSY before. The brow pencil sounds pretty cool. :]

Hey Carmen,
DeleteI took a break from subscription boxes over the summer but realized that I love getting new products to try especially when they work out like that brow pencil!
Plus it helps the lazy girl in me when I don't want to go to the store to get new products!
