Ipsy March

 This month's Ipsy bag was about called "Destination Beauty".  I was not a huge fan of this month's bag (which is why this has probably taken me so long to post about), and am only going to use half the products.
 This is the BareMinerals Moxie lipstick in Get Ready.  The color is pretty good, but at first I didn't feel like it had as much sheen as I usually like with my glosses.  I have come to like it more and will typically add a coat of clear/similar colored Moxie lipgloss to get the shine I like.
 Pixi flawless beauty primer.  It is supposed to be an "even skintone face primer" and "adds a youthful glow".  I haven't noticed it doing anything for my skin tone, and it would add that youthful glow if you wore it alone, but once you cover it with a foundation, the "glow" is gone, which I'm okay with as I felt it just makes me look shiny.  I do use this as a primer, but I wouldn't switch my BB cream or regular primer for this brand.  But hey, at least I'm using it. :)
 Be a Bombshell eyeshadow quad in Bora Bora.  I don't even know what to say about this one.  I like the colors? But as I was testing them on my hand, I found that I have EXACTLY the same colors in pigment form, which I like better:
The right side is BAM Bora Bora, the left side are my pigments- a blue-turns-gold BareMinerals, Perky from Hot Mess, Beyonce Brown from Hot Mess, and Peaches and Cream from Hot Mess.  I like the Hot Mess hues better, and the pigment form better... so this quad went to a friend.
 Nicole by OPI nailpolish in On What Grounds.  I like this color.  I think it's a super pretty blue.  But this is a textured nail polish and the thought of texture on my nails weirds me out.  I haven't tried it yet and don't know if I will.  Anyone's birthday coming up that would like this? :)
 The March Ipsy bag by some designer in San Fran or something... meh.  I wasn't impressed.  but it currently holds all my lipglosses very nicely.  :)
I know this hasn't been a raving review, but hey, for only $10 a month I don't expect to love everything I get.  Still worth it. :)
