What's in my Ipsy Glam Bag: January

   Sorry this is sooooo overdue! I haven't posted on my blog in a 2 whole months! The holidays got really busy for me and my sister was home for most December and January, gobbling up my writing time. Not that I didn't enjoy spending my days with her, but I just had significantly less time, like none, to sit down and write! So I apologize! Hope the Holidays were good for you all, and I hope 2015 has found you happy, laughing, and healthy!! So onto my January Ipsy Bag!! I just tried to sit down and write my December review, but my December bag has gone missing! And honestly, I can't be bothered to really, really, look for it, so on to the next!

   January's theme was "Fresh Start," with it being a new year and all, and I really liked this idea! Fresh new beginnings always make a girl feel good.

   So, the bag: January's bag was pretty cute! It was White on one side, blue on the other, and coral on the inside with a coral zipper and zipper pull. I love the coral and white combined, but the blue threw me off a little! The bag itself is printed or embossed sort of, it's textured, like canvas, but is made of a nice, smooth pleather!

Item 1: BellaPierre Shimmer Powder in Celebration, full size, retails for $14.99. This shadow is very beautiful. It is a rich, warm, coppery bronze. The color payoff is great and its a shimmer, so its not just glitter on your eye, which I'm not opposed to, but it is an awesome smooth shimmer that blends out on your eye well.

Item 2: Elizabeth Mott All Over Shadow Brush, retails for $9.99 This brush is so cute! It has a bright pink handle and silver details. The bristles are white with dip-dyed hot pink tips. it is extra soft and would work to pack shadow on, blend in the crease, and apply your under brow highlight! Love!

Item 3:La Fresh Eco-Beauty Good Day. Day Moisturizer. deluxe sample size, .5oz, retails online for $13.99. Okay, I'm liking moisturizers more and more, but this one has such an unpleasant smell. I tested this on my hand before applying to my face and I am so glad I did! To me, it smells like some bad sushi. I don't know, its another extra natural product and I just don't think I'm a fan of the natural smell. On anything. Humans or beauty products!

Item 4: Pacifica Natural Mineral Coconut Eyeshadow in Ethereal, .08oz, seems like a full sized pan, but their website appears to not sell single pan eye shadows, so I'm unsure of retail price. They have sets online that are around $10-15 bucks which is reasonable and Target sells this brand as well! The shade I got is quite gorgeous! It is a light pinky pearl nude and it would stunning as a highlight or as an all over color for a very, very natural eye. The texture of the shadow is incredibly smooth and buttery too! I really like it!

Item 5: Probelle Into the Blue Nail Lacquer, full size, retails for $6. A nail polish is a nail polish and I have thousands, and I really may not be exaggerating that, so. many. nail. polishes. This is just another, I don't really like blues, so this will be stashed for use in a design or given to a friend.


In Conclusion: This bag's retail came close to $50 when I factored in all the prices and an estimated value of $3 for the Pacifica eyeshadow! Wow! And I only paid $10 and change! Awesome deals!!! Overall, I think January's bag rocked! I loved the shimmer powder, the eyeshadow brush, and the Pacifica shadow. Those three FULL-SIZED items were amazing! They far out-weight the smelly sushi moisturizer, that I'll promptly being throwing in the trash, and the blue polish I'll rarely use! Once again, Ipsy does another fabulous bag!! Can't wait for February!
