Hey y'all!! So, you know i have been waiting on my birchbox.....well, my Dec ipsy made it here first!! Yay!! Go ipsy!! Ha ha. I also know i said I'd be doing subscription box Saturdays!! I'm so sorry!! I just couldn't wait!
So, i see the mail lady stop today and she tooted her horn😀 of course i got super excited!! No birchbox, but, i had a cute lil pink bag and a box of christmas gifts😉
I always smile when i see my pink bag!
On first impression, i liked the bag. It was simple....yet elegant to me. I think i really like the size of it and the material didn't feel cheap.
The theme confused me just a little?? "Thinking of you" sounds a little like a February bag to me....lol
The items did NOT thrill me to much BUT, the sample sizes were very generous!
First thing;
Sexy Hair
450° Blow Out Heat Defense Blow Dry Spray Mini

Helps to decrease blow dry time and adds weightless shine.
Weight: 1.7 fl. oz
Ok, i think I'll give it a try. Im not a big hair person(messy bun is fine by me!) I have decided that i really need to concentrate a little more on my hair. This is a generous size. It also smells really good!

Y'all!! Ok, this is just my opinion....alright? But, mascara is kind of like foil packets too me lol i mean, don't get me wrong....i love mascara, but, i think maybe one every few months lol. I don't open my mascara unless I'm gonna start using it, I'll check out things when it comes in,then it sits in my makeup case until i need it....which.....mascara lasts a min for me!!! On the plus side...
"I'll never have to buy mascara again"
😊
Now time for my fave item in this month's bag...drum roll please..........
CAILYN Cosmetics
Just Mineral Eye Polish
Made with 100% raw mineral powder, this highly pigmented satiny powder not only colors your eyes with shimmery, gorgeous hues, but is also safe to wear long hours.
The easy to use built-in sponge tip allows smooth application and seamless blending of colors. Whether you want to give a subtle wash of color or go for dramatic smokey makeup, CAILYN Just Mineral Eye Polish will be a girl's best friend.
ipsters who sample the Just Mineral Eye Polish will receive the Orchid shade.
Weight: 0.09 oz
By far my favorite!! I mean, a beautiful color. And the best part is it looks like a nail polish!! Too stinking cute!! The color is perfect too
Such a pretty nude. With just enough shimmer. The down side is the applicator.
I guess I'm just not happy to use a little "q-tip" to apply my eyeshadow. I prefer my brushes.
Now for my least favorite:
NYX Cosmetics
Butter Lip Balm
Dip your lips in a sheer wash of color with NYX Butter Lip Balm. One swipe leaves dry lips feeling supple and hydrated.
This Buttery Lip Balm is addictively soft and scrumptious and perfect for adding a subtle hint of color for a naturally flirtatious pout. Apply directly to bare lips or apply it over lip liner for more intense color.
ipsters who sample NYX Butter Lip Balm will either receive: Red Velvet (pure red), Parfait (fuchsia with blue undertones), Marshmallow (pure nude) or Lady Fingers (mauve).
Weight: 0.14 oz
I like nyx, and i like lip butters, but it's the color I'm just not happy with. I got marshmallow which is a light nude color. I don't care for nudes on the lips, especially if it looks like i have foundation caked onto my mouth. But, my daughter likes it. So, at least it will get used.
If you wanna join ipsy it's a great service for just 10.00 a month. click here too subscribe now!
