Ipsy February 2015 #IpsyLove

I really liked this month's bag, apart from one item. The bag this month is really cute. It is solid hot pink on one side, and the cute pink, white,and grey pattern on the other. I don't like that the zipper is on the side instead of the top, but it's still cute!! I find myself collecting and hoarding these bags instead of using them!! A few of them have been taken by my sister, niece and mom, but anything for the family right!! This month's theme is love, for obvious reasons, and the accompanying hashtag #IpsyLove. Let's get into what I received this month. 

Ipsy is a $10 monthly subscription "Glam" bag that includes 4 to 5 deluxe samples and full-size items. To learn more about Ipsy and become a subscriber, click here! 

 Modelco Blush Cheek Powder in Peach Bellini ($22)  

I love blushes of this shade because I feel they complement my skin complexion well. It has a very smooth feel to it and can be blended out to a beautiful peachy-sheen, similar to Nars orgasm blush. I absolutely love this blush!

Cargo Mini Lip Gloss in Anguilla

I was excited about this lip gloss upon opening my bag, but that excitement soon dwindled a bit. It is opaque and it has a pleasant smell, but it applies patchy and thick, and it is too pale a pink for my skin tone. It appears darker in the tube than it does on the lips. If applied over a darker lipstick it may be more wearable for me.

 Eva NYC Up All Night Volumizing Spray ($10)

This is a product I don't have a need for because I don't feel this is made for African-American hair. It is to be used on wet hair before blow drying for texture and lift, and also protects against heat. It also says that it could be used on dry hair as a revitalizing spray, so maybe I will try it out anyway. Egh!! I hate getting hair items in my bag, other than oil, because I never use them.

 Luxie Large Angled Face Brush 504 ($16)

This brush is AMAZINGLY soft!! It is dense enough to use with liquid/cream products and soft enough to use powder products. It is said to be coated in an antibacterial solution to stay clean longer, and does not absorb products into the bristles. I love everything about this brush!!

Pencil Me In cosmetics Natural Eye Liner in Amethyst ($6.99)

I'm kind of on the fence about the pencil.It is in a gorgeous dark purple color but it applies patchy even though it feels creamy. It's ok I guess!! Purple complements my brown eyes well, so I will definitely try this eyeliner out.
