Hello There! I hope everyone is having a WARM day, my has it been cold lately! I just received my Ipsy bag for the month of February, and I am excited to share with you what I received. This month's theme was "Ipsy Love." It was one of my favorite by far in some time!
If you don't know what Ipsy is, it's a beauty subscription bag designed just for you, (by taking the beauty quiz) that cost $10 a month. The $10 also includes shipping. Beauty Guru Michelle Phan curates the bags, and you generally receive 5 items.

Every month you receive a bag with your Ipsy items in them. This month was very fitting with love and Valentine's Day. Pink all over with some touches of grey in diamond shapes.
Let's see what I got in my bag this month...
GlamGlow Brightmud Eye Treatment - "BRIGHTMUD® Single-Use Sealed Chrome Cells with TAPWipe™ Bioactive Technology. The World's First TAP ON + WIPE OFF Reverse Action Under Eye & Orbital Eye Treatment. Designed for Instant 3-Minute Results. For Men & Women of All Ages and All Skin Types. BRIGHTMUD® for your New Super Bright Super Sexy Eyes."
Key Benefits:
• Brightens
• Fights dark circles, lines, and puffiness
• Say “bye bye” to tired eyes!
It says each Ipster is suppose to receive two of these, for some reason I only received one. I did e-mail them though, so hopefully I will still get a second one. That being said, I did try the one I had tonight and it worked really well! My eye felt smoother, and looked more awake. I will say though on the negative side, I had some slight burning underneath my eye. I am not sure if this normal, but hey what's 3 minutes compared to beautiful eyes? ha-ha.
Full Size Price: $69 (for 12, each one cost's $5.75)
City Color Creamy Lip Stain in "Flirtini" - "A hybrid between a lipstick and gloss, our Creamy Lip Stain is a new kind of lip product that applies smooth and creamy like a gloss and sets with a matte finish. This creamy lip stain gives your lips long lasting color while keeping lips moisturized. Available in 6 fun flirty shades."
The formula is really quite interesting. It goes on like a lipgloss, but has a creamy texture like a lipstick. I like it though, and look forward to trying the other colors as well. This one is a nice light pink color.
Full Size Price: $4.99 (FULL SIZE!)
Demeter Fragrance Library "First Love" - "First Love is an irresistible, unique and unusual light floral combination of lemon zest, jasmine, honeysuckle, water lotus and white rose. Demeter launched First Love several years ago, exclusively in South Korea, and it was so good that they just had to share it. "
I'm pretty sure if "love" was made it a fragrance, this is pretty dead on. It's full of flowers and sweet scents, and I really like it. It's something I can see wearing everyday even. I've had one other scent from Demeter Fragrance Library, I believe it was a beach scent. They are really dead on with their fragrances, and can truly make anything out of the ordinary smell great and wearable.
Full Size Price (.29 oz): $10 (FULL SIZE!)
ModelCo Blush Cheek Powder in "Peach Bellini" -"ModelCo’s BLUSH Cheek Powder creates a beaming, rosy glow to brighten every complexion. The micronized color pigments and luxurious, pressed powder delivers a sheer, natural radiance that lasts all day."
I was really happy with the color I received. I don't have many peach color blushes, but I am starting to think maybe I should start buying more. With my really light complexion it just makes my skin glow!
They have the other blushes for $22. However, they do not sell "Peach Bellini" separately, so I can't really give you an exact price. The 3-piece set with the blush is in the link by clicking above and is $30.
China Glaze Nail Lacquer in "Marry A Millionaire" - "Give your manicure a dazzling finish with China Glaze Marry A Millionaire nail lacquer. This rich amethyst lacquer with multi-tonal fibers features differently sized and shaped glitter particles cleverly combined to create a sexy, super decadent, 3-D finish. China Glaze’s unique lacquers contain China Clay as a nail hardener, the same material that gives porcelain its shiny finish. "
I did a little research on this particular color, and it's actually from a collection called the "Eye Candy Collection." You can check out reviews about the full collection by going here: Nails By Kayla Shevonne. It has a really pretty purple & blue finish, and I think it will be so pretty as a topper or just alone.
Full Size Price: $5.00 (VIA Amazon) FULL SIZE!
BONUS ITEMS
Bonus item's are items you get for redeeming points that you earn from reviewing the products, sharing, and referring on Ipsy.
Figs & Rouge Rose Berry Hand Cream - Figs & Rouge Shea Butter Enriched Limited Edition Hand Creams are deliciously fragrant & indulgent. These delectable creams soften, nourish & thoroughly pamper hands throughout the day, quickly absorbing to provide super-soft skin. Apply Figs & Rouge Hand Cream onto your hands and massage into skin throughout the day as needed.
I enjoyed the other scent they made so much, that I just had to try the Rose Berry. I am glad I did, because it smells amazing!
Skyn Iceland Glacial Cleansing Cloths (10 Count) - "When you're too tired to deal with the whole cleanser and wash cloth routine, these on-the-go foaming cloths are the ultimate skin savior. Infused with Icelandic glacial waters and beneficial natural extracts, they sweep away makeup, dirt, oil and other impurities while refreshing and soothing stressed skin. Best of all, there's no water required. It has a clean scent, never tacky. Great for travel or every day!"
I've used and blogged about these many times before. They are just a great all around face wipe, and is great if you are on the go or just having a lazy makeup day! I highly recommend these if you enjoy using makeup wipes.
Eva Nyc Mane Tamer Leave-In Cream - "The Mane Tamer Leave In Cream is the ultimate leave in conditioner that softens hair while taming frizz and fly-aways. Argan Oil provides nourishment and hydration while Keravis Protein strengthens hair. The result is touchable, soft and smooth hair. For all hair types."
This is the first time I have ever tried Eva Nyc, but I am really liking it so far. I used it for the first time last night, and it left my hair so soft (not oily!). It also did great at taming frizz down when I straightened it. I can't wait to see how my hair does with it over time.
This month was really wonderful, and one of my favorites! What do you think about this month's Ipsy "Ipsy Love?" What variation did you receive? I love hearing your questions/comments, so feel free to leave them below.
Until next time STAY BEAUTIFUL by STAYING YOU!
XOXO,
