Well, I can’t say that I’m a big fan of the makeup bag itself from Ipsy this month. It’s February, and they named the bag “Much Love”, so I definitely wasn’t expecting faux denim even with the red plastic piping around the edges. Oh well, I guess I’m not going to love the bag every month.
But what about the stuff inside?
The stuff inside was much better. So what did I get?
- Luxie 514 Blush Brush, full size, $18: Maybe my favorite thing in the bag. I just love Luxie brushes, and through Ipsy, I now have 5 or 6 of them.
- Absolute New York Nano Liner, Black Liquid Liner, full size, $9.99: Who needs another black liner, right? But because I’m still looking for a liquid liner that’s easy for me to use, I don’t mind getting this very skinny felt tip liner pen. I have high hopes for this 😉
- NYX Butter Lipstick, shade Lifeguard, full size, $6: I love NYX Butter Lipstick because it feels great on my lips. It’s kind of a cross between a lip balm and a lipstick. So easy to wear. Lifeguard is what I thought was going to be brick red, but it has a little more blue in it than I expected. I still like it a lot.
- 2 Korean sheet masks from SOO AE, Collagen Essence Mask Green Tea and Purifying Black Charcoal Mask, $2.50×2=$5: I haven’t used this brand of Korean sheet mask before, but in the packet, they look very nice. The Collagen Essence Mask is perfect for me, and I will probably give the Purifying Black Charcoal Mask away to someone who would enjoy that type of mask.
- Promise Organic Coconut Milk Daily Facial Scrub, travel size: I have an entire box of new Promise Organic products waiting for me to try them out. Nevertheless, it’s always nice to have a travel size.
Even though I was seriously disappointed in the makeup bag, I was very happy to receive 4ish full size products and one travel size from a really nice skincare brand. I paid $10 for my ipsy bag, and the value this month was over $40. I’m definitely satisfied with that!
So, if you subscribe to Ipsy, what did you get in your bag? If you don’t subscribe and think you’d like to, I’d be thrilled if you would use my referral code. xoxo
That is an amazing bag, Allison! I got the same brush, two sheet masks, the NYX Butter lipstick but no idea what shade yet, IBY Beauty highlighters and Elizabeth Mott Matte Bronzer.

I’m glad that you got a good bag from ipsy this month too. I’ll be curious to see the IBY highlighters.
I agree with you that the bag itself was a miss, but the contents looked good to me! The lipstick is absolutely GORGEOUS!

Glad you agree! Yes, I love love love the NYX Butter Lipstick!
That bag would be a hit with me but I agree that the bag itself is lacking personality!

For sure. You’d think they’d have a ball designing a makeup bag for Valentine’s Day. How hard could it be?
I can barely remember what I got but I know I was excited about light blue Trust Fund Beauty nail polish but not excited that they put a fragrance in my bag.

I love Trust Fund, and you’re reminding me to dig out my Trust Fund periwinkle polish. I don’t blame you for not being happy about the fragrance sample since you avoid scents. One thing I always liked about ipsy is that they seldom give perfume. Oh well.
I’m so glad the contents worked out because the bag is BLAH. I actually really love everything you received – or would want to try what I haven’t!!!
“Blah” is absolutely the right word to describe it, Judy! I’m glad they made up for it with the goodies inside.
Overall I think it’s a fairly decent mix of products this month
I was definitely pleased with the goodies inside the uninspiring looking makeup bag this month.
I think they missed the ball with the bag (so boring) but the contents kind of make up for it.

What was ipsy thinking? February=Valentines=pink/red=cute or sexy.
I agree……….but you got better stuff in your bag than I did mine, however I did love the Trust Fund nail polish.
I would have loved the Trust Fund polish too!!
