February GlamBag #IpsyLove

These  are the items I got in my February  glambag. And after using them for a bit here are my thoughts on the items.

1. Mitchell and Peach Floral No.1 Fine Radiance Face Oil: Nice clean scent. I thought it was going to be too oily for my face,  but it actually wasn't.  It was very hydrating.  And it was quickly absorbed into my skin without leaving a greasy residue. Just remember to use 2-3 drops,  being careful  not too apply too much.

2. Blush Cheek Powder in Peach Bellini 02: I absolutely love this blush shade. It looks really bright in the packaging, but once on the skin, it gave me  a wonderful blushed color! And it lasted all day until I removed my makeup at night. (Pictures of me wearing the blush below, as you can see very natural nice blush)

3. Eva NYC Up All Night Volumizing Spray: This smells just heavenly! And it did help by hair look more voluminous.  What I did not like about this spray is that it made my hair feel a bit dry.

4. Cargo Cosmetics Lip gloss  in Anguilla: The color looks beautiful in the bottle. But once on the lips.... uuuggghhhh! I did not like the shade on my lips. Kind of made me look as if I was dead, or dying. It was pale and very streaky. But i tried putting it on top of my cappuccino colored lipstick, and it created a nice  color and did not look streaky. But I would never use this gloss by itself. Also, I  dont know if it was just mine, but it had a wierd unpleasant scent. Honestly, I wouldn't buy it.(see picture of lips below)

5. 'Tini beauty Powder Eye Shadow  in Pearl Fizz: I LOVE this eyeshadow! Very nice highlight shade, perfect for the brow bone area or inside corner of the eye. And this shadow lasted all day. Also, a little goes a long way. It goes on very smooth. (Pictures below of me wearing the eyeshadow in the inner corners of my eyes and in browbone area)

Blush looks very natural if applied lightly

January Ipsy Glam Bag

I have finally returned! I missed last month's review, but I am back. This month the theme is "Fresh Start". Here are the products i received:

Elizabeth Mott
All Over Shadow Brush
Its pink and white and lovely looking. The brush bristles are soft to the touch but a bit too stiff on the eye. It works well for patting on the color.

Hey Honey
Take It Off! Exfoliating Honey Peel Off Mask: Smells very nice. It is like a clear serum. Tacky texture. I did not like that it dries too quickly. And when its time to peel off, the mask does not come off easily. I had to wash it off because it would come off in tiny pieces. It was quite annoying. But it did leave my skin feeling soft.

Hikari Cosmetics
Mechanical Eye Liner
I liked the color and how the pencil is shaped, kind of rectangular/triangle. But I had to really do several strokes and pressure in order for the color to show. But once on, it is a nice long lasting color.

(MALIN+GOETZ)
Mojito Lip Balm
I expected a mojito like flavor, but it was not . But it was hydrating. what I didnt like was how glossy it was. It left my lips looking too glossy. However, it did not feel greasy or too sticky.

Pacifica
Natural Mineral Coconut Eye Shadow
This one was a pleasant surprise. I had previously received a pacifica eyeshadow and I did NOT like it. But this time i
I actually liked this one. I got the one in "Etheral". Nice color. And this time it actually has a good color pigmentation. It goes on easily and smoothly.
