ipsy Glam Bag: January 2015, A Fresh Start

Well here we are back again with another ipsy Glam Bag post. For the first Glam Bag of 2015, the theme "Fresh Start" is completely an obvious choice. A new year, a new me right? Personally I think the theme is cute and it goes well with the bag because I received a bunch of new brands and I couldn't wait to try them all out! First off I want to start with how much I love this Glam Bag itself. I think the makeup bag is very cute and I love the colors, one side is blue, the other white and the ipsy tag is orange. Way too cute! Good job ipsy!

The first product I want to talk about is the Coastal Scents Liquid Eyeliner. I received the Jet shade. The first thing I noticed about this eyeliner is that it is really runny and watery. I accidentally dropped the bottle in my sink and it splattered all over. My sink looked like it had an oil spill. When using this eyeliner you have to be very careful, it does not dry instantly and I can't tell you how many times I had to fix it because it wasn't dry. I even used an eye base to make sure it would dry faster and stay longer. Liquid eyeliner in general takes a lot of patience but I think I'm going to stick with my Tokidoki and Makeup Forever liquid eyeliners. The one thing I do love about this eyeliner is that it does stay on all day and all night. I didn't wash my makeup off last night (I know, bad Kaitlin) and this eyeliner is still on. So I can't complain about that.

Next we have the Elizabeth Mott All Over Shadow Brush. This brush is so cute and I love that it came in pink! It's so fun and flirty. But not only is it cute, it actually does an amazing job! It's so soft on your skin and it doesn't cake on too much eye shadow and it blends very well. It's perfect and I love it! I highly recommend getting it. Thank you so much ipsy!

Then we have the La Fresh Eco-Beauty Be Good. Good Day. Day Moisturizer. This product is cruelty free! Which I always love, however I'm not a fan of the packaging. It came in a little little plastic tube that kind reminded me of toothpaste. However the moisturizer is not like toothpaste at all. It had an odd smell to it, which I still can not describe, but the smell isn't a turn off. Overall the moisturizer is very good, it makes the skin softer, as it should. It takes a little bit of time to absorb but that was probably because I used too much at one time.

Next we have the Pacifica Natural Mineral Coconut Eye Shadow. In my second Glam Bag I received Pacifica eyeliner and I did not like it when I first used it, but times have changed. I gave it another shot and loved it. So I'm sorry for ever saying anything bad about Pacifica. But anyways, back to the eyeshadow. I received the Ethereal shade which is a really light and neutral tone. I actually heard about this eye shadow from Youtuber, Miss Glamorazzi herself, Ingrid Nilsen. She had nothing but great things to say about it, so when I got it in my Glam Bag I was super excited. Ingrid was right, this eye shadow is amazing. It's light and refreshing and I just love it!

Last but not least we have the Velvet 59 Velvet Rose Lipgloss which was a nude cocoa shade. There's not much to say about this, it's lip gloss, it makes my lips shiny and sticky. It is a nice neutral tone, and that's pretty much it.

My look using all the Glam Bag products!

Overall I'd give this January Glam Bag 3.5/5 stars! Not too bad ipsy, I got lucky and got two amazing products and the rest were so so. I didn't hate anything in this Glam Bag so that's definitely a good start to the New Year! I can't wait to see what ipsy has in store for me in 2015! Until next time!
