Ipsy December 2013

Ipsy December 2013

My Ipsy bag for December showed up this week and I have to say I'm overall thrilled with this bag. 

So here's my beauty:

I loved the actual bag his month.  You can see it has diamond indents and the quality is really good.  You can't see it, but the inside lining is red, which is awesome.

Here is a breakdown of what I got:

Nicka K Nail polish in classic taupe (FULL SIZE) - Value $5
Pop trio in bare naturals from the Brighten up your life palette- Value $7.25
Nyx Lipstick in Mute (FULL SIZE)- Value $4
Be a bombshell the one stick in Flustered (FULL SIZE)- Value $16
Mirabella Blending Brush (FULL SIZE)- Value $27!

Total Value this month: $59.25, not too shabby for a $10 a month bag

My thoughts:

-Nicka K- Initially I wasn't thrilled with the color of this polish, but when I put it on, it looked to have some purple undertones, which made it really beautiful.  The application was smooth and the brush is nice and fat.  I haven't had chips and it's been 2 days now, so far so good.
-Pop eye shadow trio is decent quality.  You get good color payoff if you layer, but there is some fall out, so careful with how you dig your brush in.
-Nyx lipstick is great quality.  The mute color is really sheer and goldish toned.  At first I wasn't a fan until I put it over another brighter color and OMG it is gorgeous paired with something else. 
-Be a Bombshell in Flustered the one stick is a lip, cheek and eye stick.  Holy crap this color scared me when I opened the tube.  I don't do red well and this is....RED.  But, I swatched it by doing the lightest dot and blended and it gives a gorgeous flush to my cheeks.  I think it will be a great product.  I would never use this on my eyes though (yikes!) and since it can be sheered out I could use it as a gloss though application would be awkward since it's such a big product.
-The Mirabella blending brush is AMAZING quality.  The size is awesome and the bristles are soft, but have some denseness to them.  It actually is very similar to my Sigma E40.



I love this month's bag and this Mirabella brush by far paid for this bag almost three times over...love love love that thing! 

Let me know what y'all got in your Ipsy bags this month and how you liked them.
