Hi everyone!
My Ipsy review is a little late this time! My bag didn’t come in the mail until after I’d already left for winter break, so I had to wait until I got back a few days ago to review it!
You too can receive Ipsy each month! Sign up here!!
The December theme was “Thinking of You.”
Ipsy thinks I’m a talented being! Well isn’t that flattering?! 😉 (I didn’t know WordPress had emoticons!)
I like the shape of the December makeup bag, but I’m not a fan of the black material it’s made of! I’d prefer a bag that is a fun, bright color and a nicer fabric!

Sexy Hair – 450 Blow Out Heat Defense Blow Dry Spray
I rarely blow dry my hair, so I don’t have much use for this product.
I guess I’ll give it a try the next time I straighten my hair. I assume it’ll work in that instance too!
Beauty Without Cruelty – A.H.A 3% Facial Cleanser
I’m not adventurous at all when it comes to facial cleansers, so I doubt I’ll ever use this.
It smells nice though! Very clean!
NYX Cosmetics – Butter Lip Balm – Marshmallow
Ipsy offered four different color options for this lip balm. Three of them were really pretty, and then there’s this one. I’m really disappointed that I received the blah, nude color.
I have several friends that also subscribe to Ipsy, and they got marshmallow too.
I think the lip balm is supposed to be marshmallow scented, but it just smells like cheap, generic sweetness to me.
Tarte – Lights, Camera, Lashes 4-in-1 Mascara
I LOVE Tarte, so I was pretty excited when I saw that it was the featured brand for December.
In all my Black Friday shopping, I acquired a deluxe sample of this mascara. I love the formula, so I’m happy to have another one!
CAILYN Cosmetics – Just Mineral Eye Polish – #5 Orchid
I was very intrigued when I saw this product appear in my Glam Room! I’ve never used a loose powder eye shadow before.
I used the shadow yesterday, and I really liked it! The color is a little pinker than I thought it would be, but it’s still very pretty!
I’m a mess, so I really like the packaging of this product. The bottle is designed so that none of the loose powder can escape. I didn’t quite believe it, so I turned the bottle upside down just to see what would happen! Crazily enough, there was no spillage! Yay!
All in all, December was a good month for Ipsy! The Tarte and CAILYN were great, but the NYX could’ve been better!
What did you think of your December Ipsy bag?!
Ohhh thats exciting! I want to try the lights, camera, lashes!
You should! It’s a great mascara!
