My New Obsession

When we were in Utah last October, Sarah Clawson got me started on buying good makeup.  She sells Hot Mess Cosmetics and introduced me to pigment eyeshadows, and my obsession took off from there.  I love them!  In December I got a Sephora gift card and while I was overwhelmed walking into the store and seeing all the different brands, I knew I wanted to find another pigment eyeshadow.  That's when I discovered Bare Minerals makeup.  I am officially now obsessed!  I love their makeup and I love finding new makeups!  Hence the decision to join Ipsy.
Ipsy is a monthly membership where they send you "samples" of makeup and other beauty products for just $10 including shipping.  I got my first bag this month and am super impressed with it!  Most of the products are real full sizes so it makes for a great deal!
February's bag was "The Look of Love".  Here's my bag and the goodies it came with:

 

J.Cat Beauty Eyelashes & Glue: I have been asked 3 times in the past few months if my lashes were real or not- by the girl who gave me a facial (who thought they were real the whole time), by a coworker, and by a Bare Minerals salesman... and they are definitely real and I love the effect I get using a CoverGirl mascara.  That being said, I don't know how often I will use these falsies, but am excited to work them into a Halloween costume or some other special event.

 POP Beauty Plump Pout Mini in Fuschia Freesia.  I like the color of this gloss but the initial taste was AWFUL. Especially after just getting my Bare Minerals Cool as Ice lip glosses that are amazing.  After a little time, the stank of the gloss has gone down and I can pair it with an overcoat of said cool as ice gloss and it works out wonderfully.

 Zoya Nail polish in Odette: I haven't used this yet and I don't really like purple, but I'm sure I will use it at some point.  As far as purple goes, I like the shade.  Maybe I'll use it on my toes next to try it out. :)

City Color Be Matte Blush in Fresh Melon: I LOVE this blush.  The color is great, a nice sunkissed pink.  A little goes a LONG way... like with my blush brush I just lightly dab it and it's plenty enough.  I think I will like this even more this summer when I actually have a little color in my face.  This is my favorite item in the bag.

Skyn Iceland Fresh Start Mask with Ice Age Mud: This was a true sample size so I haven't tried it yet but I'm looking forward to it!

But a fair warning, you'll probably get obsessed too. :)
