Disappointed in Ipsy: February 2013 {review}

Meh.

I hate to say it, but this is the first month Ipsy has disappointed me. It’s just blah. Here is what my bag included:

Coast Scents Shadow Palette Sample: I don’t think I’ll every wear any of these colors, so I will give them to any friend who wants them

Pixi Flawless & Poreless Primer: I guess I’m just primered out, but I feel like I have too many primers for my own good, but this is in a small size that will be good for travel

POP Beauty Smokey Lash Kapow Mascara: this is probably the only thing in this month’s bag that I’ll actually use. Haven’t tried it yet, but I love trying new mascaras out

Mica Beauty Gel Eyeliner: Eh. I don’t think I will ever, ever use this. Seems really messy and I’m not inclined to use this type of eyeliner at all. Also, looks really hard to apply… I wouldn’t even know where to begin.

Lash Card: Umm. I don’t think applying mascara is hard enough to add *another* tool to my makeup routine. I guess I will try it out since it is sitting on my makeup counter, but it isn’t something I would go out and buy.

The bag itself is a black patent leather bag that feels cheaper than earlier Ipsy bags. Granted, the subscription is only $10 a month, so I’ve probably gotten spoiled from previous months. If this was my first month of Ipsy, I would probably cancel my subscription but this is the first bad bag I’ve gotten so I’m going to see what March brings.

What did you think of February’s Ipsy bag?

  1. I got the same and will probably only use the mascara as well!

  2. Meh is a good way to describe it, I wasn’t super excited with the loot this month either. But you’re right, its because other bags have been so awesome! I will have to reassess after next month’s bag.

  3. Oh wow – well this is only my second month since I resubscribed, and I’m quite happy! I wanted to try that particular primer out, and I am curious about the gel eyeliner. Although, a bit disappointed there wasn’t a brush to go with it.

    So… I loved this particular bag! I see I’m in the minority, though!

  4. I love my Ipsy Feb. bag! It is my 2nd bag…. @Peej, I was hesitante to use the gel eyeliner but I tried it and I believe I will never go back to liquid eyeliner again. Just use an angle brush and is so easy to apply plus it is a$30 sample! (Soooo, if you still don’t want to try it, I will be more than glad to take it ;)

    Also, March 2013 looks promising!!
