Ipsy March Bag

Items Received: (left to right)
  • Nyx Love in Rio Palette: Barefoot in the Sand
    • Retail: $6 for 0.105oz (3g) 
    • Size: Full size - 0.105oz (3g) 
    • Verdict: Giveaway - Love the color and I do think Nyx is a pretty good product for the price. However, already have a lot of similar colors in brands that I like more.
  • Chella Eyeliner Pen in Indigo Blue
    • Retail: $24
    • Size: Full size - 0.4 fl.oz
    • Verdict: Keep - Been looking for a waterproof/smudge resistant blue liquid eyeliner so I'm looking forward to trying this one and seeing how it goes. And being free of NANO and parabens is a definite plus for me.
  • Bareminerals Marvelous Moxie Lipgloss in Rebel
    • Retail: $18 for 4.5mL (0.15 fl.oz.)
    • Size: sample size 2.25mL (0.07 fl.oz.)
    • Verdict: Toss-up - I love bareminerals but do I really need another lipgloss? I want to swatch the color at a store before deciding to keep it or not.
  • Klorane Soothing and Relaxing Patches 
    • Retail:  $18 for 7 patches
    • Size: sample size - 2 patches
    • Verdict: Keep - I am always up for trying eye patches.
Overall, Ipsy didn't do too bad this month. I am keeping most of the bag items just maybe not the bag itself. I have way too many minibags from Ipsy that I'm still trying to get rid of. The bag itself actually features artwork from http://www.klarireis.com. The Baremineral and the Chella Eyeliner definitely makes the bag worth the $10 even though I'm debating whether to keep the Baremineral lipgloss.
