Feburary Ipsy Bag...

Ok so not so far behind on this one but I havent used the eyeliner quite yet. Just wanted to go ahead and post since the month is almost over ;) No idea why this pic doesnt want to upload correct but whatever LOL. Of course the theme ths month is love.
So first is the pencil I havent gotten to use yet LOL....
It is Pencil Me In liner in Amethyst. If I get the chance to try it I will include it in my post for March. Actually I got some of the new MAC Cinderella line coming and I think this color may go well with it ;) I do like it has a built in sharpener.
Next product is something I dont tend to use but is something I know a lot of beauty fans like....
I got 2 sets of Glam Glow Bright Mud Eye treatment. So this is what this looks like on....
So yea...these little packs last awhile. I have used the treatment twice and I have only opened one blister on one of the packs. I don't see much of a difference but my skin feels tighter and refreshed so I am sure with continued use this would be a helpful product.
Next is the Model Co blush in Peach Bellini 02
So I am not 100% sure I love it as a blush but I am for sure using it as a shadow in the future! The color is stunning and it is well pigmented which I find strange in blush....
Finally another flop for me was the City Cosmetics lippie. It is super pink and I just hate the way it looks on me...

 Yep...The color washed me out Even wearing blush!!
Over all I was really disappointed this month. Even more so when I looked and saw a brand I do love...Medusa's Makeup was involved in this months bag. I have taken my glam quiz a few times and try to answer to get edgier colors and such and yet this was not something in my bag...Makes no sense to me :( Anyway we shall see how next month goes and I may end up taking a few months off til Octoberish.

 

January Ipsy Bag...

Ok so I am behind 2 bag so I am just gonna post these pretty quick. Some of you may know I just got promoted in January and my life has been nothing but busy since. My schedules changes day to day so pretty much I have time to work, eat, Sleep most days. not complaining at all but it does mean there are days at a time I don't even look at my computer screen. I do have a bunch of great makeup posts coming when I get the time to write them all up though ;)
But for now....here is my January ipsy bag ;P
The bag its self was ok...Blue on one side, White on the other. Not one that will go in my collection but if you know me I love to use these bags for putting gifts in ;P
This month's theme was fresh start. I was a bit nervous cause most years and with most boxes that means a lot of face products. But to my surprise I liked most of the items.
First up this is the kind of item I was expecting to get this month. It is a clear Mojito lip balm from Malin + Goetz. It had a nice minty feel on my lips but it was just and eh kinda product.
Next up is the polish of the month....Not a big fan of getting polish anymore since I can't wear it at work...I have updated my profile and still I get them most months but I digress....
So this is a full size polish from Probelle. The shade is Into The Blue. I really cant describe the color that well. I guess it is kinda a darker sky blue. The polish is very sheer but covered well and went on smooth. In the pic I used 2 coats.
Probably the item I was most excited about...
Sorry but I can never have enough shadow brushes! This one is awesome for Blending. It is the Elizabeth Mott all over shadow brush. The brush is super soft!!
Finally I got 2 different shadows:
The first one is Bella Pierre Shimmer Shadow in Whesek...
Here is my look...

I also used Urban Decay Shadow in Cherry, Starlooks pencil in Obsidian, & Mac Zoom Flash mascara.
The 2nd shadow is Pacifica Natural Mineral Coconut Eye Shadow in the shade Treasure. I actually liked this better of the 2. Sorry these looks are similar...I actually wore them quite a few days apart and didnt realize it til I started writing this LMAO.

For this looks I also used Bombshell shadow base in Submission, the Urban Decay skull shadow palette in colors Twice Baked & Blunt, Urban Decay 24/7 Glide On Liner in Demolition, & Mac Zoom Flash Mascara.

February bag will be coming up shortly :P
