Ipsy March 2014

It's that time of the month again! I just got my Ipsy Glam Bag in the mail today.

I have to say that I'm very happy with this months selection for my bag!


March 2014 Bag:

The Knobs:

- Pacifica 'Indian Coconut Nectar' Body Butter 2.5 fl oz.
- bareMinerals Marvelous Moxie sample lipstick in 'Get Ready'
- Be A Bombshell 'Bora Bora' Eyshadow Quad
- Nicole by OPI Roughles nail polish in 'On What Grounds'



The Bobs:

I am very pleased and impressed with this bag. For only $10 I received some very nice products.

Pacifica is a great company and brand. I've been a fan for several years now but never tried their body butter. This travel size is great for tossing in my purse! I'm not the biggest fan of coconut scents, but this actually smells really good! This smells like Summer in a bottle.

bareMinerals is another great brand! I've been eyeing the Moxie line for a while now. 'Get Ready' is a really pretty color that looks great on any skin tone or color.

A really nice bonus is a promo code to receive a free Lash Domination sample and free shipping on my next purchase from the bareMminerals online store.


Be A Bombshell is always a welcome treat from Ipsy. I'm really excited to branch out of my comfort zone and try a little bit of color. The shadows are nicely pigmented with no fall out. Nice soft shadows that would look great on light and dark skin alike.

This is a full size product and retails for $14!


Swatches!

Textured polishes are something that I tend to stay away from. I'm not really sure how I feel about this one. The color is such a pretty blue! I love the color. This polish is opaque in one coat and dries very quickly. The texture feells like...sandpaper. I don't know how else to describe it.





I tried to zoom in as much as my phone would allow to show the texture.

Really pretty Robins Egg Blue color. The texture particles are a slightly darker blue and a muted red.


I only used one coat. A little goes a long way with this polish.










I may put a top coat on to try and lessen the texture feel. I'm really conflicted with this one. I'll try it out over the next few days and see how it goes.








Final Thoughts:

I really loved the March bag! Two unique full sized products and two good sized samples.

The bag itself was a special design for Ipsy subscribers by the artist show in the image.

Thank you for the amazing bag Ipsy!
