May Ipsy Bag Review

So this is my last Ipsy bag for at least a little while! With the Canadian dollar so weak it's costing me almost double the price to get these buggers every month, and even though I do enjoy my ipsy bag every month I really can't afford it anymore.

I was ready to cancel a couple of months ago however I couldn't let my Ipsy points go to waste! So I redeemed them for some Velvet Eye Liner by Urban Decay.

The last time I redeemed my Ipsy points I was a bit disappointed with the products I got.. The eye liner and mascara duo was incredibly smudgy and ran all around my eyes so I tredded with caution redeeming for another free eye liner.
Urban Decay's 24/7 Black Velvet Eye pencil is actually nice! I find I have to press down a little hard on my eye to get the shade as dark as I want it however it doesn't smudge and it lasts all day! I really can't ask for much more!

Now for the regular bag....
The bag itself is a fabric bag with "VIP Very important products" stamped on it. It's pretty cute but I don't like the material it's made out of.. It wouldn't be the first bag I go to if I needed an old ipsy bag for something.

My first sample was 24/7 Glide on Lip Pencil by Urban Decay

This also came with some small samples of their ultra lip gloss.

The lip pencil is nice, it glides on smooth and helps with keeping my lips moisturized. I was however a little disappointed in the lip gloss samples...

These were it.. Difficult to open, no applicator and definitely 1 time use. It just seemed like such a waste. If you're going to send me this much at least make it so I can utilize it past the first day of delivery! Geesh! This is by far the most disappointing sample I ever received from Ipsy... It was just such a waste.

Second sample was an Eyebrow colour pencil from Chella

It's a mechanical pencil which is always very convenient however the lead part of this pencil so so flippin TINY. It hardly has any strength, I've broken off quite a few chunks out of it while using it plus it takes forever to complete my eyebrows in the morning with it.
Ipsy matched up the shade fairly well though, once it's on it goes on very natural on my brow.

Third Sample was Face Natural SPF 40 by CoTZ

 This stuff looks like poop.... Literally it comes out as a thick brown matte cream... It's hard to smear something that looks like poop on your face. I've only worn this once so far. I am looking forward to testing the SPF 40 part of it because the hot afternoons at my boyfriend's soccer field... My cheeks were a little pink after Sunday afternoon....

Forth sample was a tapered blending eye brush by Luxie Beauty

This brush is very long... Both on the handle and the brissles... I tried to use it to blend my eye shadow and it just pushed it around... I ended up looking like a prostitute when it was all said and done... I don't think I will be using this brush often...

And the last sample this month is... Detoxifying Citrus C Facial Cleanser by Peter Lamas

I... LOVE this product! This is the first sample I got this month that I actually really like! The soap works really well and leaves my skin feeling wonderful. This is by far my favorite product in this bag! It has a pretty orange tint to it and smells wonderful. Definitely going to look into getting the full version of this, especially now that different samples won't be coming to my door every month anymore.

This bag made it super easy to take a break from Ipsy for awhile... I have to say except for the face wash I was really disappointed this month. When the time comes that I can get a monthly subscription box again I think I will try another brand just to see how it compares to Ipsy....
