In gentle of attempting to help Canada, I’ve determined to chop my Ipsy subscription in half and do it each different month. I nonetheless get excited when the merchandise arrive as they’re all normally new to me so I’d nonetheless wish to have the subscription if I can. I’ve slowed down on magnificence purchases rather a lot for the reason that starting of the yr as I’ve been buying Pixyls and diamond work so I believe having a bit of bimonthly shock is suitable!
The theme of January’s Ipsy Bag is “Clear Slate” and beginning the yr off with the necessities. Once I noticed that there was a Laura Mercier setting spray in my bag through the sneak peek, I used to be most excited to strive it!
DR LILI FAN | Probiotic Restoration Cream
WHAT’S UP BEAUTY | Wind Glider Gel Eyeliner Pencil in 03 Burgundy
What a coincidence that I simply purchased a burgundy liquid eyeliner as I’ve been oddly craving this color. It’s good to have a gel liner choice as it’s extra forgiving when it comes to precision and this components is tremendous clean and pigmented. I do not understand how usually I might be utilizing this color, so I really feel like having a full measurement of this pencil is just not as wonderful correctly. I obtained a FULL SIZE valued at $19 USD.
SHAINA B MIAMI | Lipstick in Miami Spice
Shade smart, it is a stunning brown pigmented lipstick. It is heat and daring, however nonetheless impartial sufficient in color to put on every day. The components was very creamy and color payoff was nice, however it didn’t have nice longevity due to the creaminess. I obtained a deluxe pattern valued at $13.33 USD.
PAMPER AND POLISH | Sugar and Coconut Infused Physique Scrub
I preferred this! The coconut scent was very pure and never artificially candy and the sugar granules have been pretty dense, however melted away. I simply discover it unusual that it is a physique scrub and solely is available in one measurement at 50mL. That is not very a lot! That is extra like hand scrub measurement. I even double checked on the Pamper and Polish web site and 50mL is certainly the total measurement of this! I obtained the FULL SIZE valued at $30 USD.
LAURA MERCIER | Translucent Pure Setting Spray
Saving the perfect for final! This setting spray is perfume and alcohol-free and guarantees to lock in make-up for 16 hours! I like this journey measurement and can in all probability re-use the bottle for an additional setting spray as soon as I’m completed with it. So, this sprays on clear and does seal my face in for the day, however I ought to point out that as a result of it’s such a great sealant, proper after it dries down and you progress your face, it begins to really feel like you might be “cracking” the seal. It’s a unusual feeling initially, however I finished noticing after a couple of minutes. It is a deluxe pattern valued at $21 USD (the mini measurement on Sephora for Canadians is $29 CDN)
Last verdict: This Glam Bag provides as much as $103.33 USD and the mini measurement of the Laura Mercier setting spray already paid for the bag and since I needed to do that merchandise, it made January’s bag completely value it. All the things else was good and I’ve been utilizing the entire different merchandise, however I believe the physique scrub was far more costly than it must be.
My magnificence spending is at an all time low up to now this yr and with financial uncertainty looming, I am undecided if I will be doing a lot of it in any respect this yr. How about you? Particularly as a Canadian?
