     It’s that time again, the time for new and exciting products to test out and talk to you all about! My January Ipsy Bag arrived! This months bag seemed to be focused on skincare with a few extras. 

As always, you get a new travel makeup bag that all of your products come in!

Time for the products! 

Willa Natural: On the go- Lavender Face Towelettes

The best way I thought to test these out is to use them on a full face of makeup, just to see how efficient they are. At first I wasn’t a big fan of the smell, but it doesn’t linger too long, so I can deal with it. I was surprised at how well these small face towelettes removed all of my makeup, foundation, eye makeup, and all. On the package it mentions there is no need to rinse your face, but I didn’t like the sticky feel it left on my skin. 

* Hypoallergenic

*Non-Comedogenic

*Oil-free, enriched with natural Aloe and Green Tea

*Amount in package (10)

Nourish Organic: Argan & Rosewater Face Lotion

Since starting Esthetician school, I’ve been pretty skeptical about trying face products that I don’t have any knowledge about. But organic facial lines have a good rep, so I decided to trust the brand. The first thing I noticed was how thin the lotion was, I’ve been dry lately, so I prefer thicker moisturizers. I really liked the fresh, sweet smell that comes from the rosewater. My skin instantly soaked up this face lotion, and my skin is doing very well with it so far. 

*Moroccan Argan Oil- Hydrates & Replenishes

*Rosewater- Evens out skin tone & Texture

*Shea Butter- Locks in moisture

*100% USDA Certified Organic

Mica Beauty Cosmetics: Tinted Lip Balm- Natural

Lately I haven’t been satisfied with the tinted lip balms I’ve received in my Ipsy Bags. They were always too drying, and not comfortable to wear. This tinted lip balm surprised me, it applies very smooth and feels very moisturizing on the lips. I didn’t expect the color pay-off to be as great as it is. Highly pigmented, perfect for winter! 

*Infused with Vitamin E

*Long Lasting

*Highly moisturizing 

*Smudge proof

Elizabeth Mott: Creamy Eye Pencil- Penny

One of my obsessions is cream shadows/pencils, perfect for eye shadow bases! I’ve gotten a few Elizabeth Mott products from past Ipsy Bags, I’ve been pretty pleased with the brand so far. I love the color this pencil came in, it’s a rich copper/gold, full of shimmer. When I swatched it, it came out highly pigmented, and wasn’t easy to remove. Which can be a good thing, that means long lasting! 

*Smooth application

*Long lasting

*Highly pigmented

Sexy Hair: Soy Tri Wheat- Leave in Conditioner 

I have pretty damaged hair from dying it so much in the past and recent months, so extra boost products for my hair are always intriguing. I’ve always liked leave-in conditioners because of how soft and healthy it made my hair look and feel. I spritzed a little bit of this just on my ends, it instantly gave my hair a healthy shine. I really like the smell as well, very fresh smelling, not overwhelming at all. 

* Contains Soy & Cocoa

*Nourishing & Moisturizing

*Protein reconstructor

*Easy to use

*Perfect for dry/damaged hair

Hope you all enjoyed!
