Hey you! I'm finally back from my annual trip to the Magic Kingdom. I had grand plans of blogging and keeping up my normal schedule, but the beautiful weather all of the magic had me happily occupied! I brought back a few souvenirs including a nasty cold. I need a vacation from my vacation! ;) I'll share more on my trip on this month's Chit Chat video, so stay tuned. In the meantime, let's get into this month's Ipsy bag. It's a good one!
How cute is it? The theme is #ipsylove--perfect for February and Valentine's! So now that you've seen the bag, let's check out the goodies inside:
1-"Pencil Me In" Cosmetics-Natural Eye Liner Pencil
The "Pencil Me In" Natural Eye Liner Pencils formula is highly pigmented, so it doesn't fade throughout the day and last for hours. Its application is silky smooth without pulling your delicate skin. It can be applied above and below your eye to bring dramatic effects, and to enhance both day and evening looks. Each pencil has a convenient sharpener built into every pencil cap!
- I got "Amethyst" which is not a shade I normally use, but I really love the formula on this. I'll be passing it on to my mom or youngest sis, who have brown eyes. It will look amazing on them.
2-ModelCo BLUSH Cheek Powder
ModelCo’s BLUSH Cheek Powder creates a beaming, rosy glow to brighten every complexion. The micronized color pigments and luxurious, pressed powder delivers a sheer, natural radiance that lasts all day. BLUSH Cheek Powder's chic compact is easy-to-use and perfect for beauty touch ups on-the-go.
- I got Peach Bellini and I'm a sucker for a peachy blush with a golden glow to it, reminiscent of that famous "O" blush. I love it.
3-CARGO Cosmetics Mini Lip Gloss in Anguilla
A new generation of Cargo’s lip gloss. Its super high shine gloss delivers intense color payoff and locks in moisture to keep lips feeling hydrated. This longwearing lip gloss has a slick texture that feels creamy gliding over lips without being sticky. Ingredients such as Vitamin E and Jojoba Seed oil help increase lip moisture and decrease the appearance of furrows around the mouth while increasing lip volume to its maximum fullness.
- The shade I received made me have Zombie lips--just too nude. I might hang onto it to mix with other lip glosses or lipsticks. I know I'm not the only one who does that!! Loved the creamy formula but the scent was not my fave.
4-Eva NYC Up All Night Volumizing Spray
Get the ultimate blowout with this multi-tasking spray! The light-weight formula adds volume and texture to hair, while protecting against heat for healthier styling.
How to Use:
Apply to damp hair before blow drying for added texture and lift, or use on dry hair as a revitalizing spray.
- LOVE the scent of this and it works really well! Since I've got enough volume already, I'm passing this one off to the sisters of mine!
5-Hey Honey Take It Off! Exfoliating Honey Peel Off Mask
This fifteen-minute beauty mask brightens and smooths skin with the exfoliating power of Alpha Hydroxy Acids, while moisturizing with luxurious honey extract. It instantly renews skin, leaving it refreshed and clean after only a few minutes. This gel mask helps promote a smooth and clear complexion for a post facial feeling. Take It Off! is quick and easy to use, so you can feel beautifully refreshed, radiant and ready to go in just a few minutes.
- I generally stay away from peeling masks (face is dry and sensitive) but this one was awesome! It left my skin every soft.
Extra Elle:
- One of the highlights of my Disney trip was taking the Keys to the Kingdom tour. It was a behind-the-scenes tour that was SO good. Highly recommend if you're a fan of the parks, like I am.
- I became an aunt again on February 13th! I can't wait to meet Emmalyn and get all her sugar!! I'm going to wait a few weeks on that one since I'm sick. She was born with a head full of hair, like me. None of my siblings were like that, so it's nice not to be the only one! My mom now has two girls and two boys for grand babies!
- I'm about 500 emails behind, plus I am sick, so please be patient with me as I get caught up with emails, your blogs, comments on social media, etc. I love you!!!
Oh no! So sorry to hear you picked up a cold while on vacation, that's never fun! That mask sounds amazing! I think I need to give Ipsy a try!

That volumizing spray sounds awesome. I can always use some extra vavavoom in my hair.

I wish beauty boxes existed down here! But I'm sure if they did they'd be super expensive and I wouldn't be able to afford one anyway!
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to hear about your vacation! xx
I'm so sorry that you are sick! That's the worst when that happens when you get back from vacation. So many great beauty products in your bag this month. And, congrats on being an auntie again!
ReplyDeleteI loved the Ipsy box! And I would love to try the "Hey Honey Exfoliating Honey Peel Off Mask", as I love exfoliating products! Wow, you took the Keys of the Kingdom tour, it must be fantastic! And a new niece and full of hair :) That's so sweet! I hope you recover soon, a cold is never nice to catch, and that you can see your niece soon! Looking forward to more news!

This was the first month I was a little disappointed with my Ipsy bag. My bag was different than yours except I got the blush and volumizing spray too. Those were the two products in mine that I loved!

I'm glad you had a fun trip, and I hope you feel better soon! I would love to take the Keys to the Kingdom tour.
ReplyDeleteThat gloss is a great color and I definitely want to check out that mask...I haven't found one that I love yet.
ReplyDeleteI've tried similar beauty boxes but never this one, it sounds lovely! I love the cute bag, it's so cute!
ReplyDeleteRebecca Coco
Oh dear, I hope you'll get well soon, Elle and congratulations on becoming an aunt again soon! I received everything same as yours except for the mask, I received a contour makeup brush instead and it's brilliant!
ReplyDeleteShireen | Reflection of Sanity
I'm LOVING the model and co blush too!
ReplyDeleteLove the color of that blush!
ReplyDeleteI dont generally use coloured eyeliner. Only black or brown but thats a cute colour. Love the blush for sure!!
ReplyDeleteI'm interested in #4.
ReplyDeleteSo glad you had a great time!! My face is getting really dry so a good facial scrub is something I need.
ReplyDeleteSoooo jealous you got some Disney time in!! *makes stinky face at you*.. but glad you had a great time! <3 - www.domesticgeekgirl.com
ReplyDeletefeel better soon darl! i will definitely have to try the keys to the kingdom tour next time we go.

Oh, so many exciting things happened in your life! Just get well asap and stay well! x
ReplyDeleteCongrats on becoming an aunt again Elle! And get well soon so you can have some snuggle time! (;
ReplyDeleteI always feel like I need a vacation after my vacations. I am so sorry you aren't feeling well. At least you got all this fun stuff in your Ipsy bag! Get well soon. Oh, and congrats on becoming an aunt again! Yay for babies!
ReplyDeleteSounds like you had a great trip. I have wanted to go back to the Magic Kingdom for a long time. Last time I was there, I was 7 yrs old! Looks like a good Ipsy bag. The honey peel off mask sounds really nice.
ReplyDeleteWelcome back and congrats on being an aunt again. That mask does sound awesome!
ReplyDeleteI'm convinced that vacation makes you sick because the body just isn't used to so much relaxation! I always end up having a great time, but coming home and picking something up.
ReplyDeleteThis looks like an awesome Ipsy bag - I'm obsessed with masks and skincare, so that sounds absolutely awesome.
Feel better, gorgeous! xo
Get better! I am fighting a nasty cold too! And congrats on being an Aunt!!
ReplyDeleteSounds like a fan vacation! Love the blushes!
ReplyDeleteGlad you had a fun vacation but I'm sorry you came home with a cold! :( Feel better soon. And yay for your new niece!! Congrats!
ReplyDeleteHi Elle, I have nominated for sisterhood of world blogger award. Do check my post here http://www.fashable.org/sisterhood-world-blogger-award/
ReplyDeleteHope you get to feeling better! I've never tried a peeling mask, but that one sounds like a good one. Glad you had a great vacation! Happy weekending!
ReplyDeleteThat blush is gorgeous! I have very dry skin so I don't know if that mask would work for me but it sound so cool!!

Zombie lips lol hate when that happens with a lip gloss. Excited for spring make-up!
ReplyDeleteMy dad always says the same thing. We go every year as a family (my husband and I about 4 times) and you want to go, do, and see you forget to relax. Corey and I have gotten to where we take a day off each trip in the middle to recoup.
ReplyDeleteI got the blush as well. I was disappointed at the amount of pigment that stayed on my face even though I loved the color.
Is it just me or ipsy bags are getting less interesting? Having said that, the honey exfoliating peel off mask sounds nice. :) x
