Ipsy Review – March 2014

I got the Be a Bomshell eyeshaows, BareMinerals lipstick, Pacifica body butter, and the Nicole by Opi nail polish. I already purchased a sand nail polish from OPI in a light blue color so this went in the friend pile. The eye shadow also went in the friend pile only because I own too many and have those colors already. Otherwise I would have kept it. I’m trying to have some control. I have yet to try the lip stick on but I want to give it a try. I’m glad I got lipstick instead of a gloss. I am tired of pink/nude lip glosses. I feel like everyone gives those out. Let’s get some bold colors!

Grabbed this out of my mailbox today. I officially have way too much makeup haha! Definitely need to start wearing it more. I got almost the same bag as you: lipstick instead of gloss and a face primer. Excited to try out the blue liner!

I’m a little jealous of your eyeshadow colors, I received some colors that were a littler brighter. I like browns better. I also am jealous of the lip gloss versus the lipstick I received, although the shade isn’t obnoxious, so I’ll still use it.

I only got the lipstick, eyeshadow and eyeliner, though. Only 3 items this month.

I unsubscribed after one IPSY bag because I was absolutely uninterested, unimpressed, and un-everything else with the February bag including the type of products, available colors, as well as the brands. Since then I’ve been eyeing other peoples Feb bag and newer March bags and I feel like I was a little hasty in my decision. I resubscribed and I’m impatiently awaiting for April and the coordinating bag to arrive!

This is the first month I feel like I hit the jackpot with any box / bag – and I had two Ipsy subs this month. My bags ended up being identical (even with far different profiles), but this time it was perfect for me. I got TWO of the 2.5 oz. Pacifica Indian Coconut Body Butters. I finally understand the Pacifica raves – I’m not letting either of them go – I put one on each floor! I also got the Bora quad (so I’m swapping one), the Bare Minerals lipstick (and had just received the lipgloss – so I’m swapping one of those), and I’ve already swapped one of the OPIs for the Chella liner. I more than got my money’s worth this month – I feel like I got the best of the bag options, and being able to swap for the Chella was just icing. Seriously, that Pacifica is to.die.for! My husband couldn’t quit nuzzling me last night!

P.S the bag this month was SO CUTE!

I cancelled Ipsy after getting the February bag but saw the March bag and resubscribed! I got the Bare Minerals lipstick, the PIxi Primer, the be a bombshell eyeshadows and the Opi nail polish. Overall this was one of the best bags I’ve ever gotten! I was hungry for some actual makeup since alot of boxes I’ve received lately have been skin products.

I tried the nail polish and it’s so cute. Cant wait to try the eyeshadow and the primer. Go ipsy!

I cancelled Ipsy after my first bag (Feb) because none of the products worked right for me – but after a lot of Instagram and blog snooping I’ve seen a lot of bags from Feb and now March that have convinced me to give it another go! Fingers crossed for April!

PS. I too skipped the waitlist by posting to FB but I hate having stuff like that clogging up other peoples TimeLines so what I do is click the settings button on the pop up when they ask to post so only I can see it.

So jealous that you got the gloss! I gave my eyeliner to my sister because I don’t wear eyeliner and she has blue eyes and I couldn’t tell she was wearing blue liner! Seems like a great product! She’s getting more product than me lately, but hey I can’t complain! What I do keep I use up!

I too got the bareMinerals lipstick, NYX eyeshadow, Chella blue eyeliner, and Pixi primer. I’m not sure who is counting that lipstick as full size – it’s like those sample ones Avon used to have or maybe still has. I am not a lipstick person, more of gloss, but I tried it out and like it. It smells like chocolate – must be made w/ cocoa butter – and it softens lips. The eyeshadow looks blah in the package but looked really good on me. I’m not even willing to try the blue eyeliner – makes me have flashbacks of Mimi from the Drew Carey Show just thinking about it. The primer is okay. I’d say overall, because this was my first Ipsy bag, I’m happy. It’s only $10 so hard to complain. I’d equate it to a gift with purchase package you get when you buy Department Store cosmetics (although Clinique/Lancome bags are way more awesome). I also would say the sizes remind me of the checkout area of Sephora.

I got the Be A Bombshell eyeshadow, the bare minerals lipstick, the chella eyeliner, and the vita liberata tanning lotion. I honestly loved ebrrythibg. The shadow blends well and didn’t crease on me, the lipstick is a nice pinkish red and feels great on the lips, and the eyeliner is such a pretty color, easy to use, and stays put. Ive only used the tanning lotion on a test spot on my arm so far. It has nice immediate color but most washed off in the shower the next day. Im sure it’s buildable color but im not even sure there’s enough in the bottle to cover m

Why was I under the impression we always recieve five items? I went to my glam room and saw I was getting the lipstick, NYX eye shadow, chella eyeliner, and pixi primer…hard to feel disappointed when it’s such a good value! But just like any other sub you are going to have “good” months and “freaking amazing” months!

Like a lot if others I got the NyX eyeshadow, Chelle blue eyeliner, pixi primer, and the bare minerals lipstick. I get really bad acne using anything with cones (dimethicone) so I could only try the lipstick. (The subscriptions are still worth it for some of the wonderful products I can try before anyone questions that.)

I really would have rather received the gloss because I just so rarely will wear lipstick though. The lipstick was a good quality but was a blah shade on me so I ended up taking it off. I think I just have better luck with glosses working AND I can more easily throw them in my purse.

I’ve had better months with both Ipsy and Birchbox but this March was a little blah on both.

I’m always surprised that when I love the month’s glam bag, everyone else is unhappy with it. I got 4 full size items, one of which (like everyone else I believe) is a Bare Minerals lipstick, so not a drug store brand (and I do NOT like gloss so anytime there is lipstick instead of gloss, I’m a happy camper, plus the color is nice, a not to bright pink). Also got the polish (I love special effects finished like this), the Pixi primer (which I haven’t tried yet), and the Be a Bombshell eyeshadow trio (bright colors but they blend pretty well and are useable for me). All told, for $10 I think the bag was amazingly good!

Well, I got the lipstick, eyeshadow, primer, and OPI nail polish. I don’t really want nail polish because I already have Julep. I don’t like the eyeshadow colors, but I can’t say I was disappointed because the value is always good. I’m a sucker for the cute bag!

I was a little disappointed when I opened my Ipsy this month. I got the bareMinerals lipstick, NYX eyeshadow, Chella blue eyeliner, and Pixi primer. I think the most frustrating part for me is that in my quiz I specifically have lip gloss selected and lipstick deselected (because I never wear lipstick and only wear gloss) and I have primer/BB/foundation products all deselected. It feels like they aren’t taking my preferences into account at all when selecting which products to include. :-/

I’m on the fence with ipsy. I wanna cancel because I keep getting disappointed with their stuff. Either the quality is just not there or there’s so much glitter in their stuff. However, I’m afraid that once I cancel, they’d get better. I got the primer, NYX eyeshadow, moxie lipstick, and the eyeliner. The only thing I liked was the eyeliner. The primer made my oily skin greasier! Everyone of my bags have included a pink lipstick/lipgloss and I asked for no NYX makeup on my quiz and they sent me the eyeshadow, which is very disappointing.

This month was my first ipsy bag, and I’m pretty happy with what I got, but wish I got the lip gloss instead of lipstick.. and the eye patches instead of primer..
For $10 though, I’m not complaining. I went on and took my quiz again and left off lipstick (really don’t wear it too often)

I got the Nyx eyeshadow, Chella eyeliner, bareMinerals lipstick, and Pixi primer. The eyeshadow I’m not wild about simply because someone just gifted me a UD palette and it just doesn’t compare. 😉 I love every Chella product I’ve ever gotten, and even though blue eyeliner is pushing it for me I think I like the pen format.The lipstick I got works well on me, almost a nude, and I might just use the promo code on the bareMinerals site for another color. I can always use more primer so that will be put to good use.

Of course, once I have unsubscribed, they send the cutest makeup bag AND a blue eyeliner after months of black ones… ahhhhhh….. 🙂

I got almost the exact same box! Instead of the lip gloss I got the lipstick and I got pixie primer and no patches also my eyeshadow is bikini bottom and I got the eyeliner. This was my first bag and I loved it!

Man!! It figures the month that I get fed up and cancel my Ipsy they have an awesome bag finally!! And I mean just the actual bag, not what’s in it lol.
