Ipsy October 2013 Reveal

Ipsy October Reveal on southeastbymidwest.com

AND I also resubbed to Ipsy…again I couldn’t help it, one of the products was just to good to pass up. Can you guess which product it is? Ipsy sent out so many different options that it might be hard to guess!!

The Video

The Bag

Ipsy October Bag on southeastbymidwest.com

“Love of beauty is taste. The creation of beauty is art.” I’m loving that saying and I LOVE this bag. I know a lot of people complain about the plain white bags as they get dirty but I don’t usually use makeup bags on the go. I use them as holders around my vanity or as display pieces so I don’t have a problem with that. I can’t wait to find this beauty of a bag a nice place of display.

Sample One

Zoya Giovanna Nail Polish on southeastbymidwest.com

The first sample is the one that was just to hard to pass up. I’m a nail polish junkie, admitting it is the first step…or so I’ve heard, so when I heard a nail polish was going to be included I was excited. However, that excitement quickly ebbed because I was sure that it was going to be a Nailtini nail polish and while I love their polish I just wasn’t in the mood. Then it was announced that it was a Zoya and I swear I did a happy dance.

Sample Two

Buxom Lip Polish in Dolly on southeastbymidwest.com

After learning about the Zoya nail polish I decided to wait until I received my bag to find out what I was getting. When I opened my bag and saw this Buxom lip polish I was ECSTATIC! I admitted that I was a nail polish junkie but you can ask my husband I’m addicted even more to lippies. I haven’t had a chance to actually wear this product yet BUT I’m loving the color.

Sample Three

LA Fresh Oil-Free Face Wipes on southeastbymidwest.com

I loved the other LA Fresh makeup remover wipes that were included in a previous bag over the summer. I’m hoping that these are just as good.

Sample Four

Big Sexy Hair Blow Dry Volumizing Gel on southeastbymidwest.com

I don’t ever blow dry my hair (I channel Taylor Swift and make Sparks Fly) so this is utterly useless to me. To be honest I’ll more than likely either be swapping it in a swap group or giving it to someone. That being said this is a very nice sized sample, I love that it’s actually a decent sized bottle and not like a foil packet.

Sample Five

be Delectable Hand Cream on southeastbymidwest.com

I’m not a big coconut scent loving person but I find this lotion spectacular. The cream really helps cancel out some of that, what could be overpowering, coconut smell. Plus it leaves my hands feeling super soft. The only downfall this lotion has for it is the fact that it comes from Kohl’s and I just don’t have good history with them, which is a pity cause I really want some of this stuff. I might just have to brave dealing with Kohl’s again just to get some of the others…

    I really like using makeup wipes when I travel. I would have been thrilled with that and the lip gloss too!

      I think I might have a slight addiction to makeup wipes as well. I have so many different brands that I’m trying and testing out 🙂

    I think I like the nail polish the best. I’m not a big coconut fan either and I don’t blow dry my hair either.

    You can pass that big sexy hair sample on to me! I agree it is a nice size sample. I also love a face wash towel for travel!

      It really made the price of the bag worth it. Ipsy is $10 a month for the samples and that one sample alone Ulta sells for $5.

      It’s more like a body butter and less like a lotion but a small dot goes a long way to leaving your hands smooth. I’ve used it every day since receiving it and haven’t even made a dent yet. (I’ve had it since the middle of October lol)

    I’d love to try those facewipes! I am in love with them because I’m way too lazy to actually wash my face, haha.

      I love makeup wipes as a precurser to getting all my makeup off. I find that some are very dry and don’t do a good job but LA Fresh wipes don’ usually have that problem.

    Sexy Hair products are great – I use the hairspray often with my styles at school and it holds nicely!

    I am totally addicted to make up wipes, I use them every single day. I also LOVE that Buxom lip gloss and use it a ton, I love the way my lips feel when I put it on very tingly. lol

    Great samples! I love that nail polish color! And I love facial wipes, they work great and are easy to use. Another great use, when the 5 yr old gets into mommies make up and looks like a clown. Nothing works as well as the facial wipes.
