Although, I will say, this month I am a little disappointed. Meh. :/
Here's a look at my bag all together! I really like some products, but others I can't use and/or won't use!
If you wanna try out Ipsy for only about 10 bucks a month, here's my link to sign up: #gogetyousome
The Bag: October's makeup bag is a beautiful, rich teal. It is the typical style that Ipsy puts out, with the zip across the front rather than the top, which was weird at first, but I've grown to like this style a lot. The material is a shiny pleather/vinyl type of material that is embossed it seams to appear like a repetition of sqaures. To me, it looks like a tray of ice cubes. In general, I like it. It's another makeup bag to add to the collection. And a collection I have, thanks to my Ipsy subscription.
Item 1: Figs and Rouge Nourishing and Soothing Hand Cream in Mango Mandarin, full size and retails for $6.56 This is something I most likely won't use, #sadlife. I am not a lotion person, as much as I should be, and as much as I want to become one, I'm just not. But, I definitely really like this product. It is made in the UK, which is just cool, and it has a pretty pleasant scent. I wasn't sure about the scent upon first seeing it, but I really do like it. And the packaging is just so cute, it has bright colors and stripes and its for sure a pretty piece to look at, even if I don't use it!
Item 2: Starlooks lip gloss in the color: Guilty Pleasure, sample size, the full size retails for $12. I really like this a lot. The color is perfect for lots of people and its very on trend for the light pink/mauve-y lip right now. And its a good transition color to go from summer to fall. And its just the cutest little size, its about the size of my pinky finger in total. Stoked about this lip gloss the most probably.
Item 3: Epice Purifying Exfoliant, 1oz., the full size (3.3oz) retails for $32. This seems interesting. It says to use it about once a week to exfoliate, so maybe I'll try this in the next few days and see if I like it. Not too excited for this because my skin care routine is non-existent at this point, but maybe I can change? Or is that wishful thinking...hmmm. I'll get back to you on that!
Item 4: Ecru New York Acacia Protein BB Cream (Beauty Balm for Hair) full size, 1oz and retails for $12. Okay, so not excited, because I can't use this. That's the issue with being bald, ya see, we typically can't put products in a body part that isn't there. But this will be heading out to a friend shortly.
Item 5: Jesse's Girl Mineralized Baked Powder Eye Shadow in: Graphite Frost, full size and retails for $3.99. I am also pretty interested in this product! I have been wanting to try Jesse's Girl for a long time and I wanted the eyeliner so bad when it was offered as part of an Ipsy bag! The Graphite Frost color is just as it implies, a dark charcoal, graphite color with a ribbon marble of white running through it. It is very pretty and I really like the packaging. The color payoff leaves a little to be desired, but its awesome when applied wet! And its build-able and will probably work great over Painterly, a MAC paint pot.
In Conclusion: The whole retail value, approximately, based on sizes included is about $35. Which is an awesome deal!! I love Ipsy regardless of being a little unsatisfied with this month's bag, but seriously, every bag can't be unbelievable! I just have product envy over the products I could have recieved. Lol, like an OPI nail polish, 2 different lipsticks, an eyliner, a Smashbox primer sample, etc. But, this definitely won't make me unsubscribe, it just makes me cross my fingers for next month's Ipsy Glam bag.
