bag's inside + nailtini polish in frappe
- The theme for this month is Super Stars! The navy bag looks like a small toiletries bag with cute stars inside. Also included were coupon codes for each product listed below. I suppose in order to become a more interactive site, Ipsy no longer includes the information card, and I miss that. I also miss reading about the monthly bag's theme. Instead, I have to visit the site to read more about each product and I see really nothing about the theme.
fave product from the bag + nailtini polish in frappe
- Pacifica Tuscan Blood Orange Mini Body Butter--If you're a regular ElleSees blog reader, you already know I love body butters and make my own. I was delighted to receive a scent that I didn't own. This stuff smells so good and is super moisturizing! It's a strong blood orange scent (highlighted with raspberry and mandarin, but didn't give me a headache. It's vegan, paraben, and gluten free. LOVE it.
- Josie Maran 100% Pure Argan Oil--The benefits of this are endless--it is wonderful for hair but my hair doesn't like it! Instead I use to moisturize my face and cuticles. It's gentle for all skin types.
- Nailtini Straight Up Color Nail Lacquer in Frappe--In November, I received a glitter Nailtini polish, so I was excited to see this one. The other color choice was Bloody Mary, but I like the milky light pink of Frappe. Naturally, it takes a couple of coats to achieve the desired color, and the pictures of my painted nails do it justice. This is a great everyday, office, wedding, French mani, color. 3-free.
- Sexy Hair Spray & Play Volumizing Hairspray--If you haven't tried this hairspray, you're missing out. I only use it on my roots, and those with fine hair will love it most.
- SOHO “Get a Grip” Concealer Brush--3 brushes were offered this month, and this was the one I was sent. I received a smudge brush back in September, and was pleased with it. I am pleased with the concealer brush because I didn't own one! This brush helps to hide flaws and circles.

Just so you know...that Pacifica product is seriously my fave. The smell is top notch. I am addicted to blood orange.
ReplyDeleteI had never heard of Ipsy before! I always subscribed to BirchBox…perhaps I will give Ipsy a try!

I'm glad the blood orange smell didn't give you a headache. That's a really strong scent!
ReplyDeletehey Elle! I love all of these product info. I can just trust you and get them without concern. I'll let you know how I do.
ReplyDeleteThese all sound like great products, I've been reading your reviews of these subscription make u deals and I'm trying to figure out which one I like best because I don't want to get all of them.
ReplyDeleteI'll keep looking forward to your reviews :)
Sounds like a great collection! I still don't subscribe to any of these types of things because I don't want to spend the money, but they definitely do sound fun!
ReplyDeleteThat body butter looks amazing! I bet it smells amazing too! :)
ReplyDeleteI have to ask. what do you do with all these empty make up bags when you are done with the products
ReplyDeleteSounds like a great bag this month! I love Pacifica and Josie Maran so I'm extremely jealous. Makes my birchbox this month look lame haha.
ReplyDeleteThis is significantly better than birchbox. I need to make the switch!

Yay! We got the same things. I am totally loving my concealer brush. I also enjoy how you need two coats (at most) for the polish to get the desired color.
ReplyDeleteOnce I have a job and am settled somewhere, I am definitely signing up for the this. So inexpensive and a great chance to try out some new products!
ReplyDeleteThe body butter looks amazing!
ReplyDeleteSamples seem so small! I love body butter too especially exotic fruit smells :) Love Big Sexy Hair - definitely the best hairspray for long, lasting hold!
