bareMinerals attached a card to the box the sample came in, that had a coupon code for free shipping and a free mascara sample! Which I ended up using to buy a lipstick and I am waiting for it to arrive along with the Mascara sample.

Overall Opinion

 

Lets start with the bag itself, which is fun and cute. I like the idea of using artists designs to make the bags and that is what this one is. On a side note, I quit IPSY in 2013 (I think it was in the spring of 2013) as I felt at the time I was getting too much of the same things or just things I wouldnt use etc but I have seen alot of good reviews for the past few months so I decided to give Ipsy another try and I am so glad to be back with them again, it's great to see that Bright Pink envelope in the mail box again! Also I think they must have changed their shipping provider since I was last subscribed, I really love that Landmark Shipping Co. they use which are super fast and update you along the way (which Wantable uses too and they always come so fast). The quiz that Ipsy has now is alot more customizable and Im hoping it will lead to not receiving things I either dislike or already just have too much of.

Also I noticed they now have a point system which includes getting points for reviewing the items in your bag, awesome. Reviewing the items will also hopefully help with the personalization of future bags so thats a great new feature to Ipsy.

On to my opinions on the items, I love the lipstick, I have never tried anything by Bare Minerals before but have always wanted to. It feels good on and the color is very nice, I wish it was a full size. But they did include a coupon for a free sample of a mascara and a free shipping if you place an order online for something at Bare Minerals which I might do as I really like this. I like the Pen liquid Eyeliner but a little scared it may be intense, I do like blue eyeliner so Im excited to try it. When I had Ipsy last year I got two primers back then, one was from Pixi and I stll have both so this one isn't really needed but I will update my

quiz and hope they dont send anymore. NYX eyeshadow pallette I got the color trio called "Segredos de Giselle"

 

Which is a very nice palette especially nice I think for Brown eyes which I indicated that I have on the Ipsy Quiz... so I really like it!

I wish instead of the Primer that they would have sent me the Pacifia Body Butter as I really love their line of products but I hope they will send it maybe next month. All in all a good bag, alot of smaller items this time I hope to get a few larger things next bag. Honestly though it is great for the $12 price tag paid you can't go wrong. B+
