IPSY: February Glam bag REVIEW!

So I've been MIA for a little bit but I'm back with another Glam bag review! I feel like this month's Glam bag was eh. Definitely not my favorite and I'm kind of starting to consider canceling as I've noticed that I don't really use all the products I get each month. It's only 10 bucks but still.. I'd rather use that 10 bucks towards a product I know I like.

THE BAG: Not a fan at all. It's like a fake pleather material that just FEELS and LOOKS cheap. I've been with Ipsy for four months now and this is by far my least favorite bag. One of the things that drew me to Ipsy was the cute bags their make up samples came in. Prior to subscribing I saw bags with cute designs and since I've been subscribed (November) every bag I have received has been boring and plain.

COASTAL SCENTS MINI PALETTE: Out of everything in the bag this month, this is my favorite product. The shades I received are wearable and extremely pigmented. I only did a few swatches but I was definitely pleased with how great these shadows are. BUT this sample is EXTREMELY small. I was shocked to see how small it really was. Still, it's a product I can actually see myself purchasing in a full size in the future.

LASH CARDS: Cool concept, DOESN'T WORK. These lash cards are supposed to block mascara from getting on your eyelid when applying. Awesome idea since that's a major problem I have whenever I apply certain mascaras. The thing is - it's a fail. I used one and still got mascara on my eyelid. I thought maybe I was doing something wrong but after watching a few of the guru's who endorse Ipsy use these lash cards and end up with mascara on their eyelids as well, I realized they're not good.

PIXI FLAWLESS AND PORELESS: This is like a face primer that I'm pretty sure you can find at Target. Awesome because I love drugstore products that are affordable. I can always use a face primer!

POP BEAUTY MASCARA: Just your normal, average mascara. I have other mascaras that work way better but it's okay.

MICABEAUTY GEL LINER: I don't really use gel liners (I've tried before but I prefer felt tip/pencil) but this is a really good one. The consistency is buttery and it slides on really great. It's dark and perfect for winged eyeliner. I can see myself occasionally using this.

CONSENSUS: 
I really hope Ipsy steps their game up a little bit or else I may cancel. I feel like the bag could have been so much cuter with it being Valentine's Day.. so I'm hoping next month we actually get a printed bag. I'm sick of the mascara's we keep getting: I have way too many. I do think Ipsy is better than a lot of other subscription services out there but I feel like something is missing. I'd love to get a lip stain, blush, or any Urban Decay products. I guess we will just have to see about next month!
