So, let's start with the bag! It was printed, as you can see above, with a diamond pattern all over with a pink zipper and Ipsy zipper pull. I didn't really like it, it just isn't my style! I do like the color scheme of pink and grey, but I was just ehhh on the bag!
Item 1: EVA NYC Up All Night Volumizing Spray, 1 fl oz, retails for $10. Yup, another product I can't use. But my mom, who could use some volumizing was appreciative when I handed it off to her!
Item 2: Mitchell and Peach Fine Radiance Oil, .34 fl oz, this amount would retail for about $1. I was very interested in this product when I first opened my bag! But, alas, I tried it and decided to pass it on to someone else! Face oils are all the talk currently, and I thought it would work well as a way to add some more moisture to my face, but as soon as I opened it and put it on my face I was immediately turned off! The smell was so not for me!! On the front it says "Flora No.1" and so I took this to be the scent, but I don't get any floral scent as I smell it! And who wants to smear something that smells bad all over their face? Uhhh, not me!
Item 3: Emite Make Up Professional Eye Lash Curler, retails for $25. Whaaaat? How in the world could an eye lash curler cost that much? And since this is another product I can't use, I'll have to ask my mom how the super fancy, super expensive lash curler is working for her!
Item 4: ModelCo Blush in Cosmopolitan, .12 oz, and I'm assuming this is full size, retails for $22. Are you kidding me? More than 20 bucks for a blush by a company that isn't a cult favorite? I'm good with the NYX blushes for about 5 or 6 bucks! Although, I really do like the blush! This color I received is quite pretty and perfect for spring. So this is the main product I was really excited about, except I do wish I had received the coral color, but oh well.
Item 5: City Color Creamy Lip Stain in Flirtini, retails for $4.99. I was so stoked about this product, and the color! It is a really beautiful true bright deep pink! I was a little let down by the formula though! It is not at all like the liquid lipsticks I've tried, but I guess that's since it is a lip stain, not a lip stick! Hmmmm, I guess that makes more sense! Anyways, it felt very greasy, in a sense, on my lips and I definitely didn't like that! It was also a little sheer! But I could pair it with a matching lip liner and maybe that would help with both of my problems!
Overall: I am genuinely pretty happy with February's glam bag! While I continue to get items I can't use, the ones I can I usually really like! And I always just hold out hope for next month!! Even if I may be disappointed in some products it's always the great deal that keeps me hanging on! I mean this bag had some seriously expensive products in it! The face oil, in full size, was around a whopping $46!! February's total was approximately $63! And to think I paid only $10?! WOW! Ipsy does it again, bringing killer deals to their beauty subscribers!! Not to mention, they always include coupon codes for 20 or 30% off products and they always offer items you can cash in points, that you earn by reviewing products, for rewards, but they now include special offers every month on a few items from brands featured in the monthly bag at a really discounted price! Love, Love, Love!!
