Ipsy review/make-up haul/YouTube tutorial



First of all I love the bag, even though it doesn't seem as sturdy as some of the earlier bags (if you don't count the "beach" themed pink one).


I can't explain why I get excited about these bags when they come in (even if I don't like all of the products). It's like Christmas every month! LOL


I would love to see this palette in person but you can only order it online. I still have not "tested" out the sample that came. 


I'm partially afraid to try these Skym eye gels but I really, really want to try them. Crazy I know. I'm waiting for a "pampering day" to really use them. I will have to update later.


I really wanted to like this product but I'm not a big fan of red lipstick and when I tried it on it seemed to be paler then it actually looks in the bottle. But I love the packaging for Cailyn products. 


I don't use eye pencils as much as I use to only because I think it creates to harsh of a line on a woman my age. So I will most likely give it to Nicki to use. The consistency is good in the Starlooks eyeliner pencil I'm just not a big eyeliner person.


I like the Elizabeth Mott mascara but I don't love it. It comes out of the tube really weird. And when I applied it to my eyelashes it seemed a bit sticky. I will use it for travel or take it to my mom's house to stay with my small make-up supply that I keep there. 


I fell in love with NYX products a few years ago. I still have a quad palette that I pull out on a regular basis. And I love the color blue so this was one of my favorite items in the bag. They could send me NYX products in every bag. LOL


I picked up these NYC eyeshadow palettes from the Dollar Tree of all places. I didn't expect much from them but I have been surprised at how well they apply. And you can't beat $1.00 for an eyeshadow pallet with a stick! If you are interested in your own Ipsy bag then just click here .


In case you don't know my daughter Nicki is a youtuber and freelance make-up artist. She did a tutorial on YouTube with the products from this months Ipsy bag. Overall I would give this bag a 7 out of 10 only because two of the five products will probably end up in Nicki's make-up kit.
