March Ipsy Glam Bag Review - Desination Beauty


The Box: Ipsy
The Price: $10
The Goods: 4-5 full and deluxe-sample sized beauty products chosen based on your beauty profile.

This month's theme was "Desination Beauty" and had a Klari Reis inspired bag.


bareMinerals Marvelous Moxie Lipstick - Get Ready: ($7.50)  I cringed when I saw that Ipsy was sending me a lipstick, but this is actually the first one that I like!  The color is much, much more wearable than all of the previous ones they've sent me.


Pixi Flawless Beauty Primer: ($9) I haven't tried this out yet but primer is one of my staples, so I was excited to see this in my bag.


Chella Eyeliner Pen - Indigo Blue: ($24)  Blue is just not my color when it comes to eye products.  When I was swatching this, I had a hard time making the line straight but it could be that I'm just out of practice with liner pens.


It is a pretty, rich blue but just not one I'd use.  I do have to commend the staying power for this - I swatched it before bed and it stayed put until I scrubbed it off the next morning.


NYX Love in Rio Eye Shadow Palette - Voodoo Love Spells: ($6)  A lot of Ipsy subscribers like to hate on NYX, but I'm usually a fan of their products.  I see myself getting a lot of use out of this palette.


NYX describes all three shadows as matte, but I feel like the taupe is more of a satin finish.  The top half of each stripe is without primer and the bottom half is over UD Primer Potion.


Total Value: $46.50

 This is the first time in a while that I received 4 items instead of 5.  The value is about the same as normal, but I won't be using the highest price item.  Even so, I certainly got my money's worth and I'm happy to see that all of the products are cruelty free.
