Ipsy: October 2014

Another late October review...

The theme was: Beauty Candy.

The reverse had details on how to win a one-year free ipsy subscription.

The bag was a total win for me! I love the color, love the texture. Very cute. Very fun.

First look:

ECRU New York

Acadia Protein BB Cream Beauty Balm for Hair

Full size sample! Sample size: 1.0 fl oz (Full size: $12)

"A first in haircare. Finally, an ultra-light, incredibly versatile, all-in-one multifunctional beauty balm that harnesses the moisturizing and protective power of the patented Acacia Collagen™ for ultimate repair, conditioning, manageability, smoothness, body and shine. Perfect for all hair types. Color safe. Paraben free."

The description just isn't appealing to me, so off to the swap shop it goes.

Figs & Rouge

Hand Cream - Mango Mandarin 

Full size sample! Sample size: 20ml (Full size: $6.37)

"Figs & Rouge Shea Butter Enriched Limited Edition Hand Creams are deliciously fragrant & indulgent. These delectable creams soften, nourish & thoroughly pamper hands throughout the day, quickly absorbing to provide super-soft skin. Apply Figs & Rouge Hand Cream as needed."

Love the packaging, love that the brand is British, just don't love the scent. Off to be swapped.

MicaBeauty

Mineral Eye Shadow - Reluctance

Full size sample! Sample size: 2.5g (Full size: $14.95)

"MicaBeauty® Mineral Eye Shadows’ glamorous shimmers will give you the look you always wanted. MicaBeauty® Mineral Makeup is extremely gentle, free of preservatives, chemicals, dyes, talc, oils, and other fillers. With this unique formula, your Eye Shadows will look ultra-smooth and stay put for hours without creasing or pulling the delicate eye area."

Another strange green colored eye product! I'm on a bad roll here. Le sigh. Off to the swap shop!

noyah

Lipstick - Deeply in Mauve

Sample size: 1.4g (Full size: $18)

"Fall Deeply in Mauve this season! noyah's newest lipstick addition, Deeply in Mauve, has a semi-matte, cream finish that leaves your lips hydrated and nourished. With this luxuriously rich shade of mauve, you can apply a light coat to work as a day-time neutral or build on for a lip statement that will turn heads. Did we already mention this do-it-all lipstick is all-natural? An ingredient list you can actually read, now there’s a concept!"

I'm not usually a dark lipstick kind of gal, but I am going to give this one a shot!

Skyn Iceland

Mini Glacial Cleansing Cloths

Sample size: 10 cloths (Full Size: $15)

"When you're too tired to deal with the whole cleanser and wash cloth routine, these on-the-go foaming cloths are the ultimate skin savior. Infused with Icelandic glacial waters and beneficial natural extracts, they sweep away makeup, dirt, oil and other impurities while refreshing and soothing stressed skin. Best of all, there's no water required. It has a clean scent, never tacky. Great for travel or every day!"

I love cleansing cloths, and have been wanting to try this brand. A win for me!

Summary: overall, good value and variety but sadly just not to my specific tastes.
