Just hours ago I received my much anticipated January Ipsy bag, and I have to say, this is one of Ipsy's best yet!
Nothing beats seeing the gorgeous hot pink packaging in the post!
This month's bag's theme - Super Stars
A peak at the inside
I was a little disappointed in the bag until I saw the super cute interior!
The contents of this month's bag..
- Pacifica Tuscan Blood Orange Body Butter -- this has to be the star of this bag for me, believe it or not. I just can't get over the scent. It smells delicious! And I much prefer the thickness of body butters to body lotions, especially in the winter, so this is wonderful. In love! This size retails on the Pacifica website for 7$
- BigSexyHair Volumizing Hair Spray -- I've been wanting to try this for the longest time, but haven't been able to justify spending that much money on hair spray since I seldom use it, so I was beyond excited to see this guy in my bag! It's a travel size, which is awesome, just enough for me! The full size retails for ~20$ depending on where you go.
- Nailtini Nail Laquer in Bloody Mary -- This is the one item in this bag I was unsatisfied. It's probably just because I'm a total Nail Varnish snob, but I don't like being given nail polish in the slightest. Think about it.. how many reds can one person own? I really didn't need another.. I don't mind when they give more unique polishes, like the nailtini glitter from Novembers bag. This one for me was a no-no and I'll likely be giving it away. On the plus side, it was again a full size, which retails for 13$ on the Nailtini website.
- Josie Maran 100% Pure Argan Oil -- Another product I was absolutely thrilled about! I've been looking to try Argan Oil for the longest time, but again, being on a student budget I haven't quite been ready to splurge on it, so this was perfect! I've used it so far on my hair and I love it! My hair absorbed it really well and now feels so much more hydrated, and the shine is noticeable. The full size retails for 48$ on the Josie Maran website.
- SOHO Concealer Brush -- This one you either got an eyeliner, crease or concealer brush. I'm content with mine since I have plenty of eyeliner and crease brushes already, so this was lovely. I like how dense the brush is, it's super full and also has an ergonomic handle, to make application the best possible. This brush retails for 7.99$ on the SOHO website.
A closer (but low quality oops!) picture of the brush
For a grand total of 14.95$ paid and 38.99$ worth in products, this months Ipsy bag was definitely worth it! I'm so excited to continue with my Ipsy bags, they've definitely become my favourite beauty subscription. Below is an approximate breakdown of pricing on each product..

- BigSexyHair Volumizing Hair Spray - 5$
- Nailtini Nail Laquer in Bloody Mary - 13$
