March Ipsy Bag!

Hello there!


Today I will be showing you what came in this months Ipsy bag.  This months theme is The Great Escape.  I am guessing that means like a getaway or vacation theme since it is around that time of spring break.  Since I am no longer in school, I do not get a spring break (insert sad face).  But I will be going to Vegas in May so some of these things might be good to take with me. Lets get right to it!

First up, GlamRX Mini Freestyle Palette. This is cute, and I think they put this in because of the mini eye shadow palettes that they have been including in previous bags.  Now this is quite small and would not be able to fit more than 2 normal sized shadows in this.  I would like to get a bigger one of these to fit all of the shadows that they have given us into and some other single shadows I have.  (it looks like a mini z palette)

Retail Value: Unknown
Sample worth: Unknown
Use code IPSY to receive 20% off a GlamRX Touch Up Palette at glam-rx.com
Next up in the bag are these La Fresh Travel Lite Makeup Remover Wipes. These will definitely come in handy on my upcoming vacation.  The only downside, they kind of smell like baby powder.  I really don't like that smell, but maybe I can get over it to use these up. These are in the moisturizing formula which will be great for my dry skin. 
Retail Value: $1.99 for an 8 pack
Sample Value: $1.99
Use code IPSY13 to receive 30% off beauty wipes at lafreshgroup.com

They also included 2 eye shadow pans (to be put into the Glam RX palette) from Yaby.  I have never heard of this brand.  I will have to test these two out and give an update.  Just swatching them they don't look very pigmented.  They do have a smooth feel to them. We shall see. 
Azalea Petal, Seashell
Retail Value: $3.29 each
Sample worth: $6.58
Use code ipsyglam20130325 at Camerareadycosmetics.com to receive 25% off any order
Last, but certainly most exciting, is the Juice Beauty Hydrating Mist. This is a spray hydrant that tones and refreshes your skin, and because it is Juice Beauty it is organic, which is always good.  I am really excited to try this out. I think this will feel so good on my skin, especially as it starts to get warmer out. 
Retail Value: $22 for 6.75 oz.
Sample Worth: $3.26
Use code GLAM20 to receive 20% off your purchase of $30 or more on Juicebeauty.com/ipsy
Total Bag worth: $11.83

This wasn't the most exciting bag I've gotten from them, and considering I spend $10 on the bag and the products only came out to around $12.  The past few months bags have been worth well over $20.  I am excited to use a couple of these products though, especially the Juice Beauty Hydrating Mist

I hope you enjoyed this and maybe get some use out of the promo codes that I have included.  If you haven't checked out Ipsy before, click here to check it out.  It is a fun little gift every month and you get to try out new products that you have never thought of or maybe even heard of.  

XOXO
