March IPSY 2017

I know this post is a little late and I plan on being more consistent in the future but I figure its better late than never. I really want to try post my unbagging/unboxing's on YouTube I want my blog to reflect on how I really felt about the products after I've tried, used, and can formulate and opinion on. So here is the March 2017 Ipsy bag.


So here is the bag design for March. It is a little bigger than Ipsy bags tend to be which is nice. I've actually reused this bag to store my face products. The bag design is kinda of blah but overall it is a decent bag just due to the size of it. 

Now let's discuss the products inside. First product up is 
Beau Gachis Tapered Blending Brush which retails for $12.00. While this may not be the most expensive brush I LOVE IT. It is one of the best blending brushes I've used It blends and works great for blending in that perfect crease shade. I always love when I get brushes in my Ipsy bag and this one is a great one.  One of my favorite items from March's bag.You can buy it online here https://www.beaugachis.com/products/beau-gachis-tapered-blending-brush

Next item in bag is
The Tarte Cosmetics Tartiest Lip Pain in the shade Delish. This is a sample size and a full size of this liquid lipstick is $20. I would describe this shade a rosy mauve. On me it looks like a nude, which is all right but I'm more of a hot pink, red, or berry lipstick person. The formula is nice and not to drying. Overall a decent liquid lipstick.

Now let's see what else is in the bag



It's an eye define retractable eyeliner from ModelCO in the color black. This eyeliner retails for $14 which is kinda steep for eyeliner, but there are more expensive ones out there. When I first opened it I noticed it had a grey coating but I soon realized that was just the wax and no effect on the product itself. Overall it is a decent liner and stays in the waterline. You can purchase here  https://www.modelcocosmetics.com/shop/eye-define-crayon-liner

Next item in my bag is
The Mint Pear Collagen Serum. A full size of this stuff retails for $99!!! I was not really impressed with this product. It felt too sticky and just didn't agree with my skin. I thought it would smell like mint or pear but neither. It didn't really have a fragrance which is sometimes a good thing with skincare. Just not something I cared for. 

Last item
Is an eyeshadow from Doucce Freematic in the shade Marissa. The full size retails for $10. This was my least favorite item in the bag. Upon first glance this looks pretty and would be a great lid shade. Then you swatch and it swatches into nothing. Like it was never even there. I would save my money and buy something else. I've seen Dollar Tree shadows perform better. You can purchase here https://www.doucce.com/product/eyes/freematic-eye-shadow-palette/ but I would save my money. 

Overall a pretty decent bag. Not my best bag but decent.
