Ipsy January 2015

Here is the review for my ipsy bag for January 2014!

I have loved being a part of ipsy. I love getting the make up samples, and for 10 dollars a month I for sure feel like I get my money worth!

Like I said ipsy is a 10 dollar a month beauty subscrition that gives you samples of beauty products. 

But anyways back earlier this month I was really anxious to see what I had been reciving in my ipsy bag.  So of course when Glam rooms went live, I was right there to see what I got. 
This is what appeared in my glamroom:


I was super excited so of course I started researching the products! All I relaly wanted was the brush. Honestly as they were putting out sneak peeks I saw this brush and it is all I truely wanted! And so I was so excited when I found out I was getting it!

Days past and I was waiting patiently for my bag to arrive and yesterday it FINALLY DID! 

So here we go! 


The bag is super cute! Two sided blue on one side and white on the other. I am more of a fan of the white side than the blue side. But both are super cute! It is just a standard ipsy sized bag. But overall very cute!

The first item I am going to review is the 
Coastal Scents Liquid Eyeliner


Now I must say that I am really picky about my liquid liner. But I am SUPER excited to try this out. It is full size which lets face it is awesome! And when I swatched it,it glidded on smooth and with no issues. I think I am really going to like this eyeliner and hopefully purchase more in the future! Plus on the side of the box was a 25% off cupon code for coastal scents! LOVE that because I really like coastal scents!

Next is the Elizabeth Mott All Over Shadow Brush


Ok first I am so excited to have this brush haha. Pink is not my favorite color, but when it comes to makeup brushes I guess it doesn't really matter haha. So this brush is so soft! I LOVE it! I have so many eyeshadow brushes, but this one has been dubed one of my favorites. I used it today and I LOVE it! It is so great! I will be usuing this brush for a long time :)

Next on the list is is the Hey Honey Take It Off Exfoliating Honey Peel Off Mask


GUYS THIS STUFF SMELLS AMAZING!!!! I ma so excited to use this! Guys just beacuse of the smell haha. It smells of honey and it is great! I will be trying this tonight. And I am so excited! :D I just love the smell! :D

Next on the list is 
(Malin+Goetz) Mojito Lip Balm


Honestly I thought this was going to be my least favorite product but I am pleasently surprised! It doesn't really smell of anything, but it works great! Over the course of my subscription boxes I have received a lot of lip balm. And so I was not very excited for this, but like I said it works so good! I put it on my dry lips last night and my lips were good for the rest of the night! And not to mention this is a full size product! SO GREAT! I am defiantly LOVING this!

Last but not least is 
The Pacifica Natural Mineral Coconut Eye Shadow. 


I got the color Ethereal
It is a nice light color that I will use but not that often. It makes a great highlight or base color. But I won't be using it to much. So hopefully it will get some nice use out of it. 


So there you have it my Ipsy January 2015 bag! 

Overall I was very pleased! 4/5 of the items were full size. The eyeliner, the lip balm, the eyesahdow, and the brush. So I am very happy with this bag this month! I feel like my bags with ipsy just keep getting better and better! Hopefully they will keep going that way!

Stay tuned for the next review!

The Rest of My December Box Subscriptions

OK so I kinda fell behind with the holidays, but I have three more to do. So let's so this! 

Let's start with Birchbox for December 2014:


One the box is so cute! I just love it! It is my favorite color and just super cute! So that is already a plus. Haha


December 2014 Theme is decked out. Cute because you know the Holidays haha :) 
Anyways now on to reviewing the items! :D

The first item on the list is:

Mirenesse Mattfinity Lip Rouge in Sydney



Ok so this was one of my favorite products that came in the box. At first I was like ummm I don't like lip gloss..... but then I tried it and I LOVE it!!!! Oh my gosh it is literally creame lip stick. It is awesome!  it is a very pretty non sticky hot pink color. And it actually stays on! :D It is GREAT! I really enjoy it! 

Second product:

Ojon rare blend oil Moisture Therapy



Not going to lie... I am really sick of getting hair oils. This one smells good, but I am really done with getting hair oils I have a collection to last me a life time and I don't even use them... After reciving this I updated my profile for Birchbox, hopefully that works.

Next is the Rusk Texture Spray


I have really enjoyed this item. The smell and such. I have been using it as a hair spray not sure if it is supposed to be used like that but I has been good for me :) Such a great spray!

SeaRX Microdermabrasion Face and Body Scrub


So I am not sure how I feel about this item. heh... It seems like another exfoliator to me. I will try it out. (haven't yet) and we will see how I like it. But the pacakging is cute. I mean I like that pink, it is super cute!

Last item was 
Vasanti Cosmetics Kajal Extreme Intense Eye Pencil in Rose Gold


This was obviously my sample choice and I am happy I picked it! I have been looking for rose gold makeup. And this one is awesome! It goes on super smooth and It is great! I like it for highlighting and such. :) It has been such a great addition to my eyeliner collection. :)

So my birchbox overall was great! There were a few things that I was unhappy with but no matter it was a great box and perfect for the holidays. I am excited to use these products more and maybe buying the full size one in the future. We will have to see :)

Next Box 

Let's do the Walmart Winter Box



Walmart has been a great box because it is only five dollars. I almost wanna say though this time they struggled with what to put in boxes.  Last time they had some awesome stuff and this month it was only eh... I mean for five dollars it was nice but it was eh box. 

But anyways let's start out

This first item was my favorite in the box. 

The Maybelline Colorsensational Lipstick in the color Maple Kiss


Funny story 2 weeks previous I almost bought this color at walmart and now I am glad I didn't because, obvioulsy I got it in this box. I am so happy I did! I have been in to brown colors lately with my lip stick so this was perfect for me! I really love his brand too, It is nice that I can buy it at walmart so I can go get more if I need it! :D

Next one is Jergens BB Body Perfecting Skin Cream


This stuff is awesome! It smells wonderful and it is nice and light and feels great on my hands in the dry weather! I have been sticking this in my purse and taking it with me! MY hands feel softer and I just really enjoy this product! 

The next items are The Loreal Oleo Therapy Oil Infused Shampoo and Conditioner


I have not tried these products yet. BUT they smell nice and I am excited to try it I mean I have enough shampoo and conditioner to last me a life time, but I like getting them. I helps me so I don't have to buy them and even though they are samples I don't care. I mean if I REALLY like this product then I can go pick them up at walmart. So yeah 

Next item is the Olay Fresh Effects Deluxe Make-up Removal Wet Clothes


Again I have't used these yet because I am going through other makeup remover wipes right now, but They smell good. But you can never have to many makeup wipes. Maybe I will throw these in my gym bag and take them to the gym with me to freshen up my face after wards. Might be nice and refreshing. And I love all Olay products they are awesome!!! So I am so excited to use them!

OK so the last of it is two little samples one I didn't get a picture of
but the one I have is Nivea Cocoa Butter Body Lotion


I have used this lotion before and it is not my favorite lotion, but none the less I can never use to much lotion, I basically bathe in lotion so I won't complain. It is a nice thing to have. 

So like I said the walmart box was ok. The last one was better. I mean the lippie was awesome and the face wipes. So it was a good one for winter.

OK last but not least is Glossybox December 2014


Ok So Glossybox I pay 21 dollars a month for it and I mostly get deluxe samples. This month I got all full size samples. Which is awesome! But I think this might be my last month with glossybox. Because I am looking for more makeup samples and in glossybox I don't get many makeup samples in glossybox. 

Anyways. This box is SO CUTE! I love the pattern and the style of it. Just very cute and Holiday-ie. So let's take a look inside! :D

first item on the list is:

Ciate Mini Paint Pot in Yule Rules


This is such a cute little nail polish. And it is blue and sparkly. Gosh I love blue and sparkly things. It is so cute and little. And sparkly. Just like with any sparkly nail polish it is kinda hard to spread around on your nails. But it is nice to put over a color like a pink or I put it over a green and it looked very nice! 

The next item is Toni & Guy Leave in Conditioner


Ok so this stuff smells AWESOME! I have yet to use it, but I am excited to! I am always up to try a new leave in conditioner. So It is on my list to try tomorrow. I am excited! But I am not very in to hair products so we will see how much I like it.

Next up is:

Bellapierre Cosmetics Mineral Lipstick in Burlesque


So when I first opened this the tip was all chipped off and smashed down. I mean I can still use it just fine, and there is nothing wrong with it. I just don't know if I am going to use it. But hey we will see. It is a nice pink color, and will be nice for I guess any occasion. But I like lipstick so you know I will add it to my collection!

The next tiem I have is: Nuxe Masque Creme Fraiche De Beaute


I can't pronounce anything on this pacakging. It smells great and it is a moisturizer so you know can never have to much of those. I will add it to my collection of stuff and see how much I like it!

The last item is the Rituals Cosmetics Miracle Scrub 


I am so excited for this product! I have never had a hand scrub! And this might be awesome for me. I love soft hands so I am so excited to try this. And as a plus it smells great! It is nice and I am excited to use it!

So my glossybox was awesome, but again I want more makeup products and not the hand stuff or hair stuff. So I might be canceling soon. Plus it will free up 21 dollars a month for me to use on makeup products I want. Idk we will see how it goes.

Well, that is my last of my December 2014 boxes I have recived. I hope that you all enjoyed the reviews. I am excited to see what 2015 has in store!
