Ipsy Alter Ego: October 2015

My October 2015 Ipsy bag of cosmetic samples was awesome! I was so glad to see several beauty products from brands I already know and love.  The bag was really cute as well with one side black and shiny like patent leather and the other side a bold, shiny gold color.

My October 2015 Ipsy bag included:

Ayres Pampas Sunrise Hand Cream ($6.25) – Enriched with shea butter and contains lemongrass, bergamot, mandarin, patchouli and spearmint. Has a nice light minty fresh scent and feels nice on the skin. Not greasy at all.

Nourish Organic Pure Hydrating Argan Face Serum ($17.14) – I’m excited to try this serum made with argan, apricot kernal and rose hip oils.  It smells beautiful, just like apricots.

Coastal Scents Xpress Line Eyeliner Pencil ($2.95) – A basic black eyeliner pencil. Kind of a hard consistency so you will have to make several passes to get a strong black line.

Tarte Energy Lip Surgence Skintuitive Lip Gloss ($3.60) – I already have the lint tint crayon in this so I knew I’d love the gloss.  It goes on clear but reacts with the chemistry of your skin to change to a light shade of pink. Silky smooth on the lips and not sticky at all.

TheBalm Mary-Lou Manizer Powder Highlighter ($1.60) – I’m so excited to have gotten this! I’ve heard so many people rave about it but I’ve never tried it.  It’s a beautiful champagne colored highlight powder with a silky smooth texture and lots of pigmentation.

The total retail value of my Ipsy bag came to $31.54.  This is one of the best bags I’ve gotten in a long time so I couldn’t be happier with my samples!
