It’s that time again! I can’t believe that next month will be a year that I became an Ipsy member! Once again, I will be showing you what I have received in my glam bag as well as my glam bag ultimate! Similar to last month, I will be reviewing many of the products, however I did not get a chance to use everything. I will update as I use the rest of the products!
This month, Ipsy wanted its members to feel the love, and with all of these new beauty products, I’m definitely feeling it! To be completely honest, the bag this month is not my favorite. I have definitely gotten cuter bags from Ipsy in the past! Despite this, I rated the overall glam bag a 4/5 stars!
Inside the glam bag:
- Murad – Renewing Eye Cream
This is the product that I chose to receive in my glam bag this month. I have been in desperate need of an eye cream, so when I saw that this was one of my options, I chose it! I know I definitely don’t get enough sleep, and because I have big eyes, my under eye area has always been a bit dark. This is maybe the SMALLEST sample product I have received from Ipsy so far! I haven’t been using it long enough to rate it!
- IT Cosmetics – Your Skin But Better Primer + Oil-Free Makeup-Gripping Base + Pore-Refiner & Hydrator
My gosh, that’s a mouth full! Anyway, I love receiving face primers because I really only started using them somewhat recently. I love the fact that it provides a barrier between my skin and my foundation, and it gives my foundation a smooth base. I have tried a few different products from IT Cosmetics before, and I enjoy them very much, so I was looking forward to trying this. This product seemed to work well for my skin. It kept my makeup on all day, and it definitely felt hydrating! Sadly, it is a small sample, so I’m sure I will be going through it pretty quickly. I rated this product a 5/5 stars!
- Half Caked – Super Glazed in Semi-charmed
Lip products are probably one of my favorite beauty products to receive and purchase. Although I prefer lipsticks or liquid lipsticks over glosses, this one did not disappoint! I absolutely love the color of this gloss. This gloss smells like candy, making you constantly want to apply more! It is also a full-sized product, so that made me very happy! I rated this product a 5/5 stars!
- Dr. Frog – Water Fullcharge All in One
I have really been enjoying moisturizers lately (probably because it’s winter, and my skin tends to get a bit dry), so I was hopeful when I saw this product. I did not necessarily need another moisturizer, however I wanted to try it out. This product makes my skin very soft and it keeps my skin hydrated. I rated this product a 4/5 stars!
- IBY Beauty – Radiant Glow Highlghter in Prosecco
Again, this is a product I did not necessarily need, but it is gorgeous, so I can’t complain! I love the beautiful gold color of this highlighter, and I think it will be perfect for the summer time! I have tried a few products from IBY Beauty before, and I like them a lot, so I was happy to receive this. I rated this product a 4/5 stars!
I was actually not very impressed with my glam bag ultimate this month. There were many products I received that I did not care for. A few of the products are amazing, but most of the products were things that I did not want or need. I rated this glam bag ultimate a 3/5 stars.
Inside the glam bag ultimate:
- Tokyomilk – Anthemoessa Handcreme
I do not really care to receive hand creams because I do not use them too often, but the packaging is very pretty and it smells nice.
- Polaar – The Genuine Lapland Cream Lip Balm
I did not need a lip balm, but I actually really like this one. It doesn’t have the best scent, but it is very moisturizing and perfect for winter. This will probably be my go-to lip balm for a while! I rated this product a 4/5 stars.
- Feel – Harmony Rose Petal Facial Mask
I have not had the time to use this product yet!
- Doucee Cosmetics – Punk Volumizer Mascara in Black
I always get excited when trying out new mascaras and I love the red and black packaging of this one! The wand is pretty big, which I do not love because I feel that it makes applying the product a bit difficult and it can sometimes lead to clumpy lashes. This mascara did not clump my lashes, but it did not do an amazing job at separating or lengthening them. I feel like this is a good natural mascara that could be used for an everyday makeup look. It is easy to remove which is great, but I don’t see myself reaching for this product too often. I love some dramatic lashes! I rated this product a 3/5 stars.
- Callyssee – Better Bean Clean Face Coffee Cleanser
I enjoy trying out new cleansers, but this one did not stand out to me! It’s alright! I rated this product a 3/5 stars.
- Pacifica Beauty – Rose Water Makeup Removing Wipes
I haven’t used these just yet because I plan on brining these with me on my trip to France! I will update once I try them.
- Playa – New Day Mist
I really wanted to love this product because it is (apparently) great for refreshing your hair and smoothing frizz and flyaways. I will not use this product because I cannot stand the smell. When I received my glam bag ultimate, the entire box smelled like this hair spray.
- Skylar – Hydrating Body Lotion in Capri
I sound like a broken record, I know, but once again, I did not really need a lotion. I have so many, so this one will be added to the collection. It did smell nice, and it made my skin soft, so I rated this product a 4/5 stars.
- Folly Fire – Matte Manipulation Creamy Matte Lipstick in Sunset Blvd
I am in LOVE with this lipstick! I absolutely love the color; I don’t think I have another lipstick in this shade. This was the perfect pink to wear for Valentine’s Day! It is long-wearing, and it is my new favorite. It is creamy and it applies easily. I highly recommend this lipstick! I rated this product a 5/5 stars!
- Makeup Geek – Champagne and Rose Eyeshadow Palette
This is the product that I chose to receive in this month’s glam bag ultimate. I think that the theme of this palette is so cute! A few of my favorite shades are, “Champagne”, “Rose”, and “Bubbly”. These shadows are very pigmented and easily blendable! I was not expecting to fall in love with this palette but I definitely did! I rated this palette a 5/5 stars!
- Grace & Stella – Rose Quartz Facial Roller
I have been seeing these all over Instagram, and I never got my hands on one until now (thanks Ipsy)! At first, I was not quite sure what the point of this product was, but now I understand that it is used to massage your face, and it can help your skin absorb serums or moisturizers. It can also help you reduce the puffiness of your skin, particularly in the mornings. Leaving it in the refrigerator overnight could also help (plus it will feel refreshing)! I rated this product a 5/5 stars!
- Shaina B – Eyes on Miami Brush Set
I have plenty of brushes, so I did not need more, but I actually like these brushes, and there are a couple that I did not own before. Although I didn’t need this set, I rated the brushes 5/5 stars and would recommend them if you’re looking for new eye makeup brushes!
Thank you all for reading! Next month’s glam bag ultimate will be my last, but I will continue receiving the regular glam bags every month! If you are an Ipsy member, let me know some of your favorite products that you have received this month!
