Ipsy February Bag



Items Received: (left to right)

  • City Color: Be Matte Blush in Fresh Melon
    • Retail: $2.99 for 0.314oz/8.9g
    • Sample Size: full size - 0.314oz/8.9g
    • Verdict: Giveaway - Even though it is a full size item and cruelty free, I am not a big fan of it's ingredients of talc, mica, mineral oil, methylparaben, propyleparaben, tocopherylt acetate, fragrance, tocopherol, red 6 lake, red 7 lake, yellow 5 lake.
  • First Aid Beauty: Skin Rescue Deep Cleanser with Red Clay
    • Retail: $24 for 4.7oz
    • Sample Size: 1 oz
    • Verdict: Keep - I'm always willing to try new cleansers especially if its a foamy gel cleanser that's ideal for oily/combo/problem-prone skin. And also on the plus side there's no parabens, harsh chemicals or colorants.
  • Zoya in Odette
    • Retail: $9 for 0.5fl.oz / 15mL
    • Sample Size: full size - 0.5fl.oz / 15mL
    • Verdict: Toss-up - Normally I would keep all Zoya polish but I already bought this during Zoya's annual three free sale. I have yet to try this color but if I really love it I just may keep both of them.
  • 'Tinibeauty: Eyeshadow + Base in Ambrosia
    • Retail:  $18 for 0.14oz
    • Sample Size: full size - 0.14oz
    • Verdict: Toss-up- I like the color and I'm curious but not really liking the smell.
  • Popbeauty Plump Pout in Peony Petal
    • Retail: $16 0.3oz/8.5g
    • Sample Size: 0.14oz/4g
    • Verdict: Toss-up - I'm usually not a fan of Popbeauty products and I do have a lot of lip products so I may just give it away. On the other hand, it apparently suppose to stay on very well and leaves a stain after. I probably would not ever buy it considering the size of the actually product is more than double the size of the sample, and I think that's just too big.
Overall, I think Ipsy did really well this month. The Zoya polish plus the FAB cleanser makes it worth it even though I already own the Zoya color.
