After (finally!!) getting a job offer (yay!), I was able to re-start my ipsy subscription. The first bag I got after re-joining was the January bag.
I love the blue makeup case- it's the perfect size for fitting travel sized shampoos and such. Great for weekend getaways!
First product I tried out was benefit's The PORE-fessional. It's lightly tinted and silky without over-coloring or making skin feel greasy- really important for a pale, oily skinned girl like me! It minimized the appearance of the pores on my nose and chin pretty well. Not quite total coverage, but it definitely made them less noticeable.
Next, Yaby foundation. I'm not really a foundation user- the more product I use, the more breakouts I have. The shade was a perfect match for my skin, and it wasn't greasy. Pretty good for a brand I'd never heard of before.
Next was the Balanced Guru Body Balm. I love that this product is organic and cruelty free! It's meant to balance out dry skin, so I used some on my hands. Winter has not been nice to them. The balm is soothing and smells AMAZING- very citrus-y and woodsy. It dries pretty quick too, so the "my hands feel way too slippery to do anything" feeling only lasts about a minute. I also love that you really only need to use a little bit. This size jar is going to last me a while. My only complaint is that it's a little tough to get it out of the container- I feel like my nails are digging into it, and it's a pet peeve of mine when product gets stuck under my nails. Minor irritation for such a great product though.
I love, love, LOVE this lip balm from (Malin + Goetz). The fact that they call it mojito lip balm is a bit misleading, I think, since I got no hint of mojito smell or flavor at all. But it makes my lips super silky and soft, so I'm not complaining. Perfect for putting on before bed to soothe lips overnight.
The last goodie in my bag were these pomegranate makeup cleansing cloths from Absolute. Not a huge fan of the scent but they work really well. One sheet is all I needed even when wearing a lot of makeup. The cloths are really moist and make my skin feel soft.
Later!
