February Ipsy Showcase

Hi Guys!!! For today's blog post I will be sharing my February Ipsy showcase with you all and I am super excited to share it!!!

This month's theme was: Much Love

This month's Ipsy bag design was:
This bag design is very simple but it also has a little bit of spring in it, which I absolutely love. It has hints of neon and denim!!! These two combinations have spring written all over it!!!

The first product that I received in my bag this month was the Organic Pharmacy Lip and Eye Cream. I honestly, was not too impressed with this product. It's supposed to reduce puffiness, dark circles and lines for the eyes and for the lips, it's supposed to hydrate them, make them plumper and moist. When applying this product, my first reaction was that it was thick and I noticed that it left sort of a shine where applied ( probably because it was still drying, because it did eventually go away.) I didn't notice too much of a difference in my skin the next day to be honest. I don't know if I would purchase this product for myself just because it didn't do too much for me and because I wasn't too impressed. I don't really have any complaints, it's just not for me.

The second product that I received was the NYX Professional Makeup Butter Lipstick in the shade "Ripe Berry."  When I saw that I was going to be getting this product in my Ipsy bag this month, I got SUPER excited because I love NYX makeup!!! I was a little hesitate about the shade because I was afraid it would be too dark of a shade. I probably would've preferred this lipstick in the other shade which was "Lifeguard." Anyways, when I applied this lipstick, it wasn't as dark as I thought it would be and it applied nicely. It's not totally matte which I would probably actually prefer so it wouldn't come off when touched by something. The only complaint I would have about this product is that it leaves you with "butthole" lips as Jaclyn Hill would call it, after a while. Which basically means that the color on the inside of your lips goes away after time and the outside color on your lips stays. Other than that, I would definitely recommend this product!!!!

The next product that I received was the BellaPierre Cosmetics Volumelash Waterproof Mascara. I was actually needing to purchase waterproof mascara soon for an occasion so, I was pretty happy when I was it in my Ipsy bag for the month. I really don't have too much to say about this product other than it applied nicely and volumized my lashes. I would definitely recommend this product.

Another product that I received was the Elizabeth Motte "Whatup Beaches Matte Bronzer."  Lately, I have been getting more into using bronzer as part of my makeup routine. Overall, I liked this product. It applied nicely and it looked natural when applied. It wasn't too dark of a shade or orange like some bronzers are, it was more natural looking. It blended nicely, it wasn't dry or chalky like some matte formulas are. This formula was soft, silky and creamy/blendable. I would definitely recommend this product.

The last and final product that I received and is by far my favorite, is the LUXIE BEAUTY rose gold blush brush #514. I am really digging these brushes!!! They are absolutely stunning!!! This brush applies very nicely and blends very well. The bristles are soft as well!!! I would absolutely recommend this product to others!!! I am IN LOVE with these brushes!!! You can purchase them here: https://www.luxiebeauty.com/luxie-rose-gold-blush-face-brush-514/
