Ignore for a moment that we're almost to the end of March, and be excited about this great Ipsy bag I got in February.
I've tried the Dr. Lim Acne Spot Corrector a couple of times on some blemishes I have. Yes, I'm in my 40s and I still break out. I don't have wrinkles, so I'll take the tradeoff. I didn't have much luck with this product, though. My angry red pimples stayed angry and red for the same amount of time they usually do. I did have some luck with smaller, less angry pimples going away faster with liberal application of the product, but I didn't notice anything different from when I use something from Clearasil, for example.
I really liked the POP lipgloss in Peony Petal, swatched first on the left. Nice pigmentation, felt nice - I didn't get any smell from it, but I've heard some bloggers were sensitive to theirs.
The middle swatch is the City Color Be Matte Blush in Fresh Melon. I am all about the peachy-pink colors right now, and matte is IN.
The swatch on the right is from that tall tube, which I originally thought was a lip product, but no, it's an Eye Cordial Shadow Tint & Base from Tini Beauty in Ambrosia. I love metallic eye colors, especially as a base.
Here's another look of POP Peony Petal on my Pursed Pout. Perfection.
You're probably already familiar with Zoya polish, and Odette was a color I really wanted, but was holding out buying on the remote possibility it was coming in this bag. I tell ya, when I saw I had gotten Odette, I felt like I won the lottery. It's gorgeous.
I played around with placing some individual iridescent glitters on it, but you could really only see them in close up pictures like this one. In Real Life, it was a hot mess.

But wait, there's more! My #NailArtForNubs post for today is live - stripes and flowers, anyone?
This is a great bag! Some very nice products in there.
ReplyDeleteIpsy is my fave sub box - definitely the most bang for the least buck.
DeleteI like the Zoya nail polish. The only thing to love w/ having oily is delayed wrinkes, lol! But I can relate w/ the annoying adult acne.
ReplyDeleteYes, I love telling people that I'm 42 and having them gasp, 'no! But you don't have any wrinkles!' . Of course, it helps that the fat fills them in, too! lol.
DeleteGreat bag!! Mine was completely different but I love the contents in both!
ReplyDeleteI wish there was a deluxe bag where you could get all that month's samples. I get so jealous of the stuff other people get sometimes! lol
DeleteI need to get IPSY again! They have had great bags lately!
ReplyDeleteDid you see my referral link? ahem? lol.
DeleteI love ipsy!!! Mine had totally different items in it except the same Zoya shade. Super gorgeous!!
ReplyDeleteSome girls got the Zoya Dot, which I would have been okay with, but I'm soo happy I got Odette. I get Ipsy Envy looking at the other cool stuff people get - I want all the samples! lol
DeleteLooks like you got a great bag in February, but too bad the acne treatment didn't work all that well.
ReplyDeleteIt must just be me.. I saw on the discussion boards so many girls clamoring to trade for it. Apparently, it works really well for some!
DeleteOhhhh, I want that blush! The color looks great! I wish I had gotten that in my Feb bag.
ReplyDeleteI have more blush than I can shake a stick at. But I keep buying it... I saw a lavender-looking one the other day, and I want that one, too.
DeleteI like the blush!
ReplyDeleteIt would look great on you - I haven't seen a blush color yet that you can't wear.
DeleteI love Ipsy! They've been on a roll lately!
ReplyDeleteI wonder if having all these different sub box options has forced everyone to up their game. Competition is good!
DeleteNice bag and this Zoya nail polish looks so pretty!
ReplyDeleteOdette was the star of the collection for me.
DeleteLoving this bag!
ReplyDeleteYou probably get more samples than you know what to do with! I love these sub boxes, even if I don't try everything right away.
Deletethats a really awesome bag! that blush is amazing
ReplyDeletethe blush is HUGE, too! I could keep a clown troupe in makeup for a while with this blush! lol
DeleteYou definitely got a great bag. Love the cream shadow and Zoya polish.
ReplyDeleteZoyas make me happy. I love their sales!
DeleteI really need to try that blush out! Obsessed!!
ReplyDeleteI love how everything is coming out in melon shades now. So flattering.
DeleteLooks like a great bunch of products. I love the look of that shadow.
ReplyDeleteMetallics are such a fun look - especially for someone like me who wears glasses. We need a little extra so people see our eyes!
DeleteI love this bag. The blush is great!
ReplyDeleteI forgot to mention that I turned the bag halfway inside-out so you could see the fun liner!
DeleteIt was a great month !
ReplyDeleteYes, it was, indeed! Time to review March's box before we get to April... lol
DeleteThis is a killer box!
ReplyDeleteIpsy has upped their game, for sure. I hope it stays up there!
DeleteI just loved February's glam bag! Aside from the fact that I already had Odette, I loved everything else. I put the Dr. Lin on my pimples overnight and when I wake up, they've gone down considerably. My sister and I use it all the time :)
ReplyDeleteI got the exact same bag! Loved it!
ReplyDeleteIpsy = happiness. Best $10 I spend all month!
