Mrs Frances Marie: BEAUTY: JANUARY IPSY BAG

PRODUCT REVIEW

I am a little late to review my January Ipsy bag, but what can I say? Life gets complicated when you have a 6 month old. So here it is, my first review of an Ipsy bag. I have been getting Ipsy bags since May 2015 and so far most of my glam bags have been pretty decent. Let's get started!

January's Glam Bag was called "All Eyes On You" and most of the products they sent out were obviously eye related. This is what I got:

January 2016 Ipsy Bag

theBalm Cosmetics, Mr. Write (Now) in the shade Mr. Jack B. Bronze
Mitchel and Peach English Leaf Body Cream
Hikary Cosmetics Cream Metallic Pigment Shadow in the shade Mink
Beau Gâchis® Paris Smudge Brush
pur~lisse BLUE LOTUS 4-in-1 Eye Adore Serum

I have to say, I was pretty impressed with this months bag. I really liked the bag itself, the design was really girly and cute.

theBalm Cosmetics, Mr. Write (Now) in the shade Mr. Jack B. Bronze

I really enjoy theBalm cosmetics. I think they are highly pigmented, most colors are very neutral, and they are very creamy. I love Mr. Jack B. Bronze shade, and I already owned that shade so I was happy that Ipsy included it!

Mitchel and Peach English Leaf Body Cream

I really did not like this cream at all. First of all the smell was pretty strong and floral. I really do not like floral scents, as I favor more sweet and fruity smells. It was pretty hard to get past the smell since it was pretty overwhelming. The cream in itself, was decent, but a bit on the oily side. I feel like it left a film on my skin. But to tell you the truth, I just hated the smell!

Hikari Cosmetics Cream Metallic Pigment Shadow in the shade Mink

I had never heard of this brand before but I was pleasantly surprised about it!!! The shade Mink is this gorgeous metallic bronze color, right up my alley! It was so buttery and smooth. It applied so beautifully. It reminded me a lot of ColourPop's Weanie SuperShock Eyeshadow. And like ColourPop for the most color payoff, you should apply it with your fingers. This eye shadow as super pigmented, I did not see any creasing and it stayed put all day long. I have been wearing this all month long!

Beau Gâchis® Paris Smudge Brush

I love getting brushes in my Ipsy bags. I have a slight obsession with them so I am always happy to get them. I have to say, I loved this Smudge Brush. It is the perfect brush for cream eyes shadows like the Hikari eye shadow I also got and ColourPop. It picks up product very well and I did not have any shedding.

pur~lisse BLUE LOTUS 4-in-1 Eye Adore Serum

I was really excited to get this eye serum because I had heard so many great reviews on YouTube and I really liked this product. It does a really good job of moisturizing the under eye area, without feeling greasy. I applied it under my foundation and concealer and my makeup did not slide or moved at all. I will probably purchase this item in the future.
