Subscription Box Review: March Ipsy Glam Bag

Welcome to another Subscription Box Review! Check out my previous Subscription box reviews here.
I know, I've been away for a while from the blogosphere. Life's just been very crazy, as things have picked up work and theater stuff- I know, excuses excuses. We are in the midst of auditions for Shrek (which hubs and I are directing) so it's been so crazy. But, I'm aiming to get back into the blogging world to keep me sane once things pick up in the theater world. lol
Now, on to the subscription box review.

Marcy Ipsy Glam Bag:

So this month's Ipsy (I know I"m late to share this) was themed "Floral Fantasy." I had some loves, some oks and some ehs. 

I LOVE the shade of NYX Cosmetics butter lipstick I got. Reminds me a lot like the MaryKay Dusty Rose (which was my color for years). 

I wore it paired with the Velvet 59 lipgloss I got from my January Ipsy bag to a friend's wedding last weekend.

Used the lipstick and gloss to my friend's wedding last week, among a few other Ipsy products. :)

I also liked the Pixi by Petra Mesmerizing Mineral Duo- great neutrals. I always need a good brown and tan- since that's my go-to eyeshadow color combo. I'm not a huge makeup person (I wear makeup only on major occasions, when I'm being photographed for something special, or on theater) so I'm all about the neutral colors.

The next item I got was Pur~lisse Beauty's delicate gentle soymilk cleanser and makeup remover. I used it mostly as a cleanser, but I'm sure it does the job as a makeup remover too. 

Next, onto the other things I tried, but not sure how often I'll use them: Coolway's Glow Oil Treatment and Boo-Boo cover-up medium shade. I tried the boo-boo to cover up a big blemish I had on my forehead (but luckily my bangs cover most of it). It did it's job, but nothing that special- but then again, I don't have a lot of major boo-boos to cover up. I also tried a few drops of the glow oil on my hair for the wedding I went to- gave me some shine, but again, nothing earth shattering.

Overall, I got some good solid products in this month's glam bag. I was glad to get the eye shadow and lipstick the most, as well as the cleanser (I was in desperate need of a new cleanser).

Looking forward to next month's glam bag. Have you tried Ipsy? If so, what's your favorite item you've received?

Have a great day all!

Subscription Box Review: October Ipsy Glam Bag

Welcome to another Subscription Box Review! Check out my previous Subscription box reviews here.

October Ipsy Glam Bag:

This month's Ipsy was a mixed bag of items I ADORE and items I could care less about. Luckily, a good friend of mine got totally different things in her Ipsy bag, so we swapped 2 items for 2 different items. ;)

The bag this time is ADORABLE. I love the color and style. So cute!

I got a Nicole OPI gold (On a Gilt Trip) nail polish. It's a lovely gold color, and I've used OPI's nail polish before, so I'm excited to have gotten this.

This was what I was most excited to recieve in my glam bag- Skone Cosmetics' Tattooed Waterproof Eyeliner. It is like having a fine tipped marker as an eyeliner and it is super resistant- it stays on all day (and night if you don't take it off). lol- I accidentally fell asleep without taking off my makeup and that eyeliner was flawless and didn't budge the next morning! haha. I love this!

Next I got Indie Lee's Brightening Cleanser. I haven't tried it yet, but I'm looking forward to giving it a shot.

I got Ayres Body Butter Patagonia also in my bag. Now I'm not a huge body butter fan, but luckily a friend of mine is, so we swapped ipsy items.

Noyah's Deeply in Mauve was the last item I recieved in my ipsy bag. It's a little dark for my taste, so this item was also swapped with my friend (who loves darker colors!)

Overall it wasn't a bad bag. The eyeliner and the bag itself were the best part. Like I mentioned above, I swapped 2 items with a friend for her 2 items she didn't want. So in the end, we each got a great bag after our swaps. haha

These are the 2 items I swapped my Ayres body butter and Noyah lipstick for.

Starlook's Guilty Pleasure lipgloss and Mica Beauty Cosmetics Reluctence Mineral Eye Shadow.

I was so excited to get it and so far Ipsy has not disappointed me. Yay for cute new makeup!
