The theme for the February 2015 ipsy Glam Bag is #ipsylove. Clearly a perfect choice of theme for the month of love.. and I am sooo in love with this month’s bag.

This month the bag is pink, grey and white with diamond shapes on one side then completely pink on the other side.

What’s inside?

From Eva NYC, Up All Night Volumizing Spray. This spray is said to add volume and also protect from the heat. I can’t say it gave a ton of volume but my hair did feel soft. It also has a very light, soft scent to it that I love.

From Luxie Beauty, Large Angled Face Brush 504. Who doesn’t love getting makeup brushes in their subscription bags? This type of brush just happens to be my favorite (don’t even ask me how many MAC 168 brushes I own) for applying cheek products and this one from Luxie Beauty is amazing.

From ModelCo, BLUSH Cheek Powder. Why is this my new favorite blush of all time? I received the shade Peach Bellini which is a golden peach with a serious luminosity to it. So pigmented, easy to apply and blend… is it too much to say obsessed?

From “Pencil Me In” Cosmetics, Natural Eye Liner Pencil. This has nice pigment and decent staying power (just not on the waterline but normally I’m hard-pressed to find anything that is). I thought it was easy to apply and I loved the color. It’s so nice getting a shade other than black! (all ipsters received the shade Amethyst).

From CARGO Cosmetics, Mini Lip Gloss. Super shiny in a pretty pink shade (all ipsters received the shade Anguilla), not sticky at all! I can’t wear this particular color on it’s own but it’s the perfect shade for layering over lipsticks and the mini size makes it perfect for living in my makeup bag.

Oh, hi, ipsy.. you knocked it out of the freaking park this month. SO MANY makeup products and then one hair products. THIS is what I love and THIS is what it should always be about. Fantastic, best ipsy bag EVER.

Ipsy has profile pages, so here is mine. There is also a pretty decent referral program in place. You refer friends and redeem points to get a sweet little bonus in your next bag (use the points to choose your own!). I’ve gotten some really fab full sized products but definitely read the description because some of them are a lot of points for just a sample size. Previous bonuses have been from NYX, Tarte, Revlon and more! Note: These points DO expire. I didn’t know that until recently when I was logged in and noticed my point total… I left for dinner and came back and it was 300 points less. I wish I’d have known that ahead of time so I could have spent them, but hopefully this message will help you out so you don’t lose your points!

Here is where you can go to subscribe to ipsy for a Glam Bag.
