| Ipsy December 2013 Theme "Celebration" |
The items I received were:
- POP Beauty Bright Up Your Life Eye Shadow Trio in shade "Smokin Hot"

- Nicka K New York Nail Color in shade "Classic Taupe"
- NYX Extra Creamy Round Lipstick in shade "Iced Honey"
- Ardell Eyelashes in "Natural"
POP Beauty Bright Up Your Life Eye Shadow Trio in shade "Smokin Hot"
Once more, I gave this product away before reviewing it. Out of the two possible shades Ipsy could have sent me, I got this black/gray/white trio instead of the one I wanted- which had more natural shades. Black and gray eyeshadow just does not look good on my pale skin whatsoever!
Retail price: 8 USD
Be a Bombshell The One Stick in shade "Girl Crush"
I spent an embarrassing amount of time trying to figure out what this does. Apparently, it can be used anywhere - on lips as a lipstick, as a highlighter, as an eyeshadow, as a blush... I found the most useful purpose for this is as a cream blush, it's a lovely dusty pink color! This shade is just so so pretty and perfect. So glad I received this shade! On a side note, I found this to be way too drying on the lips.
Retail price: 16 USD
Nicka K New York Nail Color in shade "Classic Taupe"
I -love- this. It's just such a great neutral bohemian color. My style sways more to the more natural and bohemian shades, and this is just perfect. You can never have too many nail polishes!
Retail price: 5 USD
NYX Extra Creamy Round Lipstick in shade "Iced Honey"
Again, being makeup illiterate, I had never heard of the brand NYX. After receiving this product, I've become a NYX fanatic. Their products are very affordable especially for college girls on a budget (me!). I received Iced Honey, a shade that I would never have thought to buy for myself, but it looks great on. It's more of a beige-y pink color instead of being pure beige which I imagined it to be before seeing it. It's sheer enough to let the beauty of your natural lips stand out, but also adds shine and a splash of color. It has a creamy and moisturizing formula and feels great on the lips!
Retail price: 4 USD
Ardell Natural Lash in "120 Demi"
Too many Ipsy subscribers complain about getting lashes in their bag, but I absolutely love them. If you've never tried lashes, just TRY them! They are so much fun! I usually use one or two Ardell individual lashes on the ends of my natural lashes to give it sort of a "cat-eye" look. I loved that I received these and can't wait to try them out!
Retail price: 3 USD
FAVORITES: Bombshell one stick, Nicka nail polish, and NYX lipstick
Ipsy: 10 USD
Retail price: 36 USD
