Ipsy February Glam Bag Review

February's glam bag took forever to get to me. My tracking information showed it as being in Orlando for eight days.  Why in the world would it hang out in Orlando for eight days?

Other than spending time at Harry Potter world in Universal.  That's what I'd do in Orlando.


Fun fact! Disney World is NOT in Orlando. It's in Buena Vista/Bay Lake. Disney World is technically its own city.  I am closer to Disney World when I'm at home, than I am when I'm in Orlando.

Ok, on to my bag...



I received this bag on Tuesday. It is now Wednesday.  This is the fastest I've busted out an Ipsy review, ever!


What is Ipsy?

 The theme for February is "The Look of Love" The bag is a gorgeous pink with a white zipper, and on the inside it has an abstract pink and white cheetah print. I love!
 


  • Pop Beauty Plump Pout Mini in Peony Petal. Mini size. Full size is $16 if you buy it from Pop Beauty's site. Estimated value: $7.53

This plumping pout perfector combines the high-shine of a lacquered gloss with the long wear of a stain and is packed full of lip-plumping peptides and avocado & jojoba oils. Lightweight, creamy texture immediately merges with lips & delivers intense glossy colour for an extremely long-lasting finish!

I prefer lipstick over lipgloss, however, this gloss is really nice.  I like the color, and the gloss lasts really well; it does stain your lips. After I swatched this gloss I took a shower. It is now 7 hours after that shower, and I still have a line on my arm from the gloss.  So yeah, it works.


I like using gloss when my lips are dry and flaky. Gloss is way more forgiving than lipstick, in that sense.  This color is gorgeous and I can see myself wearing it often.





  • Zoya Nail Polish in Odette. Full size. $9 if you buy it from Zoya's site.

Zoya Nail Polish in Odette can be best described as full-coverage, sultry orchid maroon cream.
From Zoya's site

Zoya is my favorite nail polish brand.  It has incredible lasting power. Even if I hand wash dishes, it doesn't chip! I really like the color I received. It's from their new Naturel line, which is all neutral/nude shades. It probably doesn't look neutral in the photos above, but it's definitely muted compared to lots of other colors. It's a great addition to my collection!

The swatches above were still wet from when I quickly slapped it on my nails to take a photo of it. :-)  It's only one coat, and I used no base coat or top coat. It's very opaque, and awesome.


  • City Color Be Matte Blush in Fresh Melon. Full size. $2.99 if you buy it from City Color's site.

Our Be Matte Blush comes in 8 revolutionary colors, giving your cheeks a vibrant glow for every look. Its silky-smooth texture and richly pigmented hue comes in the perfect matte finish with an ultra blend-able formula. These stunning shades are highly build-able and allow you to create either an elegantly subtle or dramatically bold look. It's every girl's must-have secret!

I wasn't going to keep this blush. I decided to keep it, literally as I was taking pictures of my bag, and I'm so glad I changed my mind!  This color is great!  I thought it was going to look orange, but it definitely looks more coral/pink once it's on my skin.  This blush is VERY pigmented, so when I used it on my face I made sure to use it very sparingly. It blends well. It's a little chalky, but, it's $3. I think it's a great product for the price.



  • Tini Beauty Eyetini Cordial Cream Shadow + Base In One in Spiced Rum. Full size. $18 if you buy it from 'Tini Beauty's site.

Say goodbye to creasing and fading with Eyetini Eye Cordial Shadow + Base. Our revolutionary formula glides on beguiling creamy color and sets to a transfer-resistant finish that doubles as a wear-extending base under powder shadow. Spiced Rum serves up shimmering warm bronze.
From Tini Beauty's site 

This is the same color of a brand new penny. I haven't decided if I will try it or not. I'm leaning towards no. I'm not a fan of liquid eye shadows, unless they're used as a base, and I only use neutral/pale colors as a base.



  • NuMe Intense Renewal Mask. Deluxe sample size. Full size is $29.99 if you buy it from NuMe's site. Estimated value: $3.39

Renew hair with levels of moisture that will transform it to its healthiest and shiniest ever. This indulgent formula contains powerful ingredients that instantly revive and rejuvenate. The Intense Renewal Mask provides deep conditioning to improve damaged, color treated or processed hair to restore hair’s natural shine and luster.
From NuMe's site 

I used this today. My hair is very soft and smooth and pretty. This sample won't last me very long, but I'm happy to have it!

Bag Value
Pop Beauty Plump Pout Mini: $7.53
Zoya Nail Polish: $9
City Color Be Matte Blush: $2.99
Tini Beauty Eyetini: $18
NuMe Intense Renewal Mask: $3.39

Grand Total: $40.91

Overall I got some great products. I absolutely adore Zoya nail polish and love the color I got. I am excited about the hair mask. The lip gloss is a wonderful color. And the blush, while I was hesitant to try it, actually is a great color for my skin tone.

Do I think this bag was worth $10?  Absolutely.
