January Ipsy‘s theme was A Fresh Start – a kickoff so clean the possibilities are endless.  If you aren’t familiar with Ipsy, it’s just a fun little beauty subscription – get 5 items in a cute bag for $10 a month! If you’re an Ipsy fan, be sure to watch for my monthly spoiler posts – I name one reader as my referral link for most of the month. Several of my past winners were able to load up on bonus items! It makes me so happy!

The bag was super cute this month – half blue, half white, with an orangey melon zipper. I’ve no idea as to its meaning!IMG_8610

LashFood Phyto-Medic Eyelash Enhancer ($15.60) I always get excited about a good eyelash enhancer. This one is all natural (unlike, say Latisse, which is a prescription)

Elizabeth Mott All Over Shadow Brush ($9.99) This is a good brush. I used it to swatch (see below).

Pacifica Natural Mineral Coconut Eye Shadow ($5) This isn’t a heavily pigmented color. More like swipe & go for the beach or something. It’s not an amazing eyeshadow but it’s natural and I love this brand.

probelle Nail Lacquer in Into The Blue ($6) Good toes color!

Malin + Goetz Mojito Lip Balm ($6.85) Love this product! I have quite a few but I go through balms like mad!

I tried to layer it on and it just wouldn’t. It’s probably better than the first time I tried it (I think it was a lavender),

I have no real complaints with this bag! $43.45 in value, all stuff I’ll use, and the shadow goes to the kiddos for playing superhero 🙂

    You’re the first review I’ve seen that we both received the exact same products. lol Cool! I was really happy about everything except the eye shadow doesn’t even show up on my super pale skin. Oh well, no biggie. I’ll give it to my friends granddaughter to play with. Thanks for the review. 🙂

    I got pretty nearly the same selection as you this month – except my Pacifica shadow was the coppery one (like it much more than the pale one), and I got the BellaPierre Shimmer Powder in Whesek (a silvery deep grey) instead of the lash food. Have to say this is the first month I can remember where I actually like everything in my bag! Maybe ipsy is paying attention after all. I’m still on the fence about the color of the nail polish (I don’t do toes), but can’t complain about getting it. If nothing else, it should be a good base coat for the sparkly one I got on clearance at Target.
