Review: Ipsy- February


Ipsy is a monthly subscription box that sends you 5 sample size makeup or beauty products and a makeup bag. You can customize what they send you by filling out the personal surveys. These bags are $13 each.

This month I received:

Half Caked lip gloss Super Glazed in Semi Charmed. 
Chella La Vie mini quad eyeshadow. 
Merci Handy Hand Cream hello sunshine. 
Tula The Cult face cleanser. 
Tarte Sex Kitten Liquid liner in black. 
PAPA RECIPE Eggplant Clearing Cleansing Foam.
MERCI HANDY Hand Cream in Hello Sunshine. 
THE SAEM Perfumed Hand Essence in Magnolia.
Rose Tinted makeup bag. 


The Saem perfumed hand cream and Papa Recipe cleansing foam were $3 add-ons that I picked. 

The Merci Handy hand cream was a free gift this month. 

I love the add-ons I picked. The Magnolia hand cream smells so good and the face cleanser works really good. The other facial cleanser I got is a good one too. 

The lip gloss has a slight pink color to it and it dries down a bit so it's not completely sticky like most lip glosses and I liked that. The liquid liner is really nice. It goes on easy and stays all day.

The Merci Handy hand cream stinks. The scent is over powering and does not smell good. I didn't like this at all. 

I think this makeup bag is one of my favorites so far. I have a bunch of them now but I love how soft this one is. 

That eyeshadow quad has 4 really pretty colors in it and three of them work really well but that darkest color does not want to blend well and just comes out patchy as all get out. At least the other colors are nice.

Did you get this bag?

  1. Sigh at the stinky hand cream. It doesn't sound as if you could use it for anything. The rest sounds good though.

  2. That's a bummer about the hand cream. I have to put lotion on my hands because they get so rough in the winter and yeah a really strong scent can be a bit much :)

  13. This looks like a decent bag of goodies minus the stinky hand cream! Why do they need to ruin a perfectly good hand lotion with perfume? Those always give me migraines.

    1. I like a lightly scented hand cream but this was crazy overpowering.

  14. I wonder what the scent is supposed to be for the hand lotion?

  15. Those items look like that are a pretty good size. It sounds like it was a good bag overall.

  16. The magnolia hand cream sounds like something I'd like. Especially after washing my hands a thousand times a day (I work at a hospital)!

    1. Oh yeah, after working at a hospital and having to wash your hands all day this would be soothing.
