ipsy September 2014

My personal image

I'm sure a lot loved this bag however I didn't really care for it. I'm just not a fan of grays and blacks when it comes to bags and accessories. It is pretty but just not for me personally. However, no big deal. 

Check out my ipsy Pinterest board here

Here are the products that I received.

Clicking the name of each product will send you to the ipsy web page for that product.

I got this beautiful lipstick from Hikari Cosmetics. I had never heard of this brand before so I was excited to try this out. First off this is a very pretty color. The shade is called Cabernet. I really loved it. I'm wearing the lipstick in this Instagram post. It's is a creamy texture. The color is opaque. I'd say I got a good 5 or 6 hours wear time with this. The color fades nicely into a stain type look. Of course wear time will vary depending on if you are eating and drinking. I love this lipstick. Also, this is a matte finish and can be slightly drying for some so be conscious of that and use a lip balm before applying if needed to get your lips hydrated.

I got the color Fringe, which is a brown shade. I'm very thankful for that because I don't see myself wearing the gun metal color. This brown is a nice everyday shade. I like it for "no makeup" makeup looks. I like wearing it to work as well because it gives a hint of definition to the eye without drawing too much attention. Overall this isn't a bad eye pencil at all. Some also use this for their brows. I personally haven't tried it but I don't see why it wouldn't work especially since it is a waterproof formula.

First off, it took me like a week to get the tiny plastic seal off this powder! I just couldn't get my hands to work for me, haha! This is a great setting powder. I used it under my eyes, around my nose, and on my cheeks. It really helped with shine and minimizing the look of pores. It gives off a slight airbrushed looked. It is a great powder. It really makes your skin appear flawless.

I used this the first time and wasn't really impressed. I didn't think it did that much to my hair, however, whenever I went to work my coworker was like your hair looks great. I'm like, oh thanks, not really thinking anything about it. Well, then I realized whenever I used this they would mention my hair looked great. They said it looks so healthy and pretty. I guess this works after all. I just wasn't seeing it like everyone else was. Overall, after hearing comments about my hair I'd recommend this for sure. It's lightweight yet moisturizing. I give it a thumbs up.


First let me state that if you don't like organic smells then stay away from this. I loved the actual product however hated the smell. I got used to the smell the more I used it but goodness did I hate it. The cleanser worked great for me and I would have bought a full size if it wasn't for the scent. I just wasn't feeling the cucumber and watercress at all. Overall great face cleanser, but the downside is that scent for me.

All in all I liked my products this month. The bag wasn't my favorite but that's okay with me. We can't be 100% satisfied all the time. I'm really loving ipsy and all the different products I've received so far.
