Double Review- February and March Ipsy 2015

Hello everyone! Welcome to another Jaqtastic Review! Today I will be reviewing the February and March Ipsy bags of 2015. So late. I need to find a better way to transfer my phone pictures.


February Ipsy 2015
This months bag was one of the only ones I liked all year.  Its a diamond patterned pink and grey bag.  I have no idea what type of material it is, but it was sturdy enough. 

Contents:
Emite Make up - Professional Eye Lash Curler
I don't use products like this and frankly after many reports of this breaking apart on people...I just threw it away in some corner. I'm not willing to risk someone I care about, or me , to hurt themselves over this.

ModelCo- BLUSH Cheek Powder
This is such a beautiful peachy gold! It really is too bad that I don't wear blush at all. Though this is making me want to go out and try it.

Demeter Fragrance Library- First Love Roll On Perfume Oil
At first I didn't like how this smelled. It was overly sweet and floral and kind of a generic scent you'll recognize when you randomly walk by someone.  It reminds me a bit of how detergent smells like. However, after trying a few times and letting it linger on my skin longer, I found that I might like this.  It starts off sweet, but ends in a clean 'after shower' type of scent.  It's nice I suppose.

City Color- Creamy Lip Stain in Flirtini
This was perhaps my favorite item in the whole bag. Which, to be fair, is not really at all surprising since I am a lip junkie. The stain was super pigmented, as you can see in the swatch above, and such a gorgeous pink. It is creamy, and a little goes a long way. The downside is that it smells horribly of chemicals.

Mitchell and Peach- Fine Radiance Face Oil
I like using face products, however I never got to try this.  I already have too much face oils to try out. Still, these are always useful.


Overall, the month of February was not too exciting.  I have not found myself reaching for any of the products.

The month of march had another loely bag.  It was blue and floral, and kind of abstract looking.

The goodies!



Now...on to the contents! Massive amounts of pictures ahead- be warn.

 •   Anastasia's Mini Clear Brow Gel
My opinion: 
I'm not sure how to feel about this.  I have NEVER heard of a brow gel, and I have no idea how I would use it.  From what I have gathered, it is to be used to keep the eyebrow hair in place, so it won't stray all over the place. Hm. This might actually be helpful for someone like me, whose eyebrows sometimes like straying all over the place.

• Pacifica's Island Vanilla Perfume Roll-On
My opinion: Um. I LOVE this. The smell is just absolutely amazing and yummy. It is not too strong, and the smell does not consist of an overpowering Vanilla scent.

The scent reminds me of the perfume: Simply Because from Avon.  Love it!

Zoya Nail Polish- Color in Gie Gie



• Zoya's Nail Polish - Gie Gie

My opinion: This is an adorable creme pink color! Unfortunately, I do not use nail polish, and I don't plan on using it anytime soon. On the plus side, my friend LOVES nail polish, and LOVES anything pink, so this will go to her.

Rating: ✩ ✩ ✩ (3 Stars- Mostly for the beautiful color!)


Mirabella SHEER Lipstick in Pixie color

•  Mirabella's Colour Sheers Lipstick - Pixie

My opinion: Favorite item in the bag!! I LOVE this color.  The lipstick looks like a coral color- an orange/red mix. However, because it is SHEER, you will need to apply at least 2 or 3 layers to get a full blast of color.

My favorite thing about this lipstick is that it's not too overwhelmingly bright. Now, don't get me wrong. I LOVE wearing a bright red lipstick to give off an edgy and bold look.  But it's nice having a color that is both bright, but natural looking at the same time.  Not to mention that is applies on smoothly.
Me trying on the lipstick! Pretty color, yes?

 •  Yaby's Concealer Refills- Buff Color
My Opinion: Well...another product that I most likely won't use.  I never wear concealer, that and this looks a tad bit too dark for me. Probably will give this off to my mother, as it is more closer to her skin color.

There you have it! The contents I received for the May's Glam Bag! Keep in mind, there were many other items we were able to get.  Still, I am rather satisfied on what I got, and am looking to get the June Bag! My Birthday Month ;)
