Ipsy Fresh Start: January 2015

January is a great time for a fresh start.  And what better way than with an Ipsy bag full of makeup and beauty goodies!

This month’s bag was a tri-colored design with one side navy blue, the other side white and with a coral lining and zipper detail.  I was pleased to see 4 full sized items this month with 1 deluxe sized sample.

Let’s look at what came in the January 2015 Ipsy bag:

La Fresh Eco-Beauty Good Day. Day Moisturizer ($12.35) – A facial moisturizer providing hydrating and anti-aging properties.  Love this sample’s packaging! The screw top tip on a foil packet is genius! I’ll be able to squeeze out every last drop.

Elizabeth Mott All Over Shadow Brush ($9.99) – A soft and fluffy eyeshadow brush.  Love the hot pink color!

Hikari Cosmetics Eyeliner in Storm ($13) – A shimmery charcoal gray mechanical eyeliner pencil.  Not crazy about this one.  It’s consistency is a bit hard, so application is a bit difficult.

Pacifica Natural Mineral Coconut Eyeshadow in Ethereal ($3.50) – A silky smooth eyeshadow single in a shimmery off-white color.  Fairly pigmented but can be built up.

Velvet 59 Lip Gloss by Paris Manning in Noisette ($19) – I actually really love this gloss!  It’s so smooth and non-sticky.  It’s a nude color with just a hint of pink.  Love the glossy finish and how it hides all my fine lines.  I don’t like the strong rose scent it has though.

Overall I’m pretty pleased with this month’s Ipsy bag.  I really enjoy the moisturizer, lip gloss and shadow brush so it was well worth my $10 investment. The entire January 2015 Ipsy bag had a retail value of $57.84.
