I received my ridiculously amazing December Ipsy bag a few days ago, but wanted to wait to post a review until I really got the chance to try everything out, so here goes:
The Breakdown
The bag - I had to mention the bag itself because it matched SO perfectly with the Holiday Tote I got from Bath and Body Works on Black Friday! I will be taking all 3 of these on my trip to California next week!
Added Bonus
Urban Decay Naked Skin BB Cream - I was also sent a sample of the UD Naked Skin BB Cream to try out before it even hits the shelves! Horray! I do have some mixed feelings on it though :/ Urban Decay claims that Naked Skin Beauty Balm will help even skin tone and minimize pores, lines, wrinkles, and redness instantly. It firms skin over 8 weeks time and protects with SPF 20 and Pepha which inhibits DNA damage. Vitasource and dGlyage firm the skin and improve elasticity.
What I like is the cute little bottle itself (I’m a sucker for aesthetics) and the way it goes on powdery and leaves me with a powdery, naturally smooth look. I also like the minty scent.
What I’m not so wild about is that the color is sort of orangey, so I can only use a little bit or else I look like I have a bad fake tan. However, just a little of this stuff doesn’t provide the coverage I need, it’s more like a tinted moisturizer. This would be better for someone who wants very light coverage with major benefits over the long run. For me, I just need more coverage or a lighter, more natural color that I could layer.
In Summary
If this bag doesn’t put you in the holiday spirit, I don’t know what will. This is one of those bags that you look at online and kick yourself for not subscribing sooner…except in this case, I got lucky and subscribed to Ipsy a couple of months ago, during their severe upward trend.
