October 2013 Ipsy bag



Just got my ipsy bag today is a good mail day as opposed to bad mail day=bills! This months theme is "The art of beauty". Here are my first impressions.
From left to right: 
First, Style Sexy Hair spray clay-I used to use Paul Mitchell spray wax a lot, because it smelled great and really loved the way it texturized my hair giving it a more piecey look if that makes any sense? Anyways, this is a little similar but not as good as the Paul Mitchell. I will have to test it more to give a better review.
Next I received, Nourish Organic Coconut and Argan body lotion-I do not smell much coconut in there while putting it on but I do smell the coconut after it has dried, also after putting it on my hands were very shiny from the Argan oil-it's nice not amazing. I think it would be great for summer when you are wearing skirts and shorts and want that sheen on your skin but not so much in the fall or winter.
The third item is the Zoya polish in the color Neve-a dark purple almost black. I love Zoya's smooth application and quick drying and long lasting formula.
The fourth item is a Bella Terra mineral shimmer in the color Emotion-a shimmery plum. According to Bella Terra's website it's multipurpose mineral shimmers can be used as lipstick, blush, nail polish and of course eyeshadow. This color is pretty and perfect for fall and I plan to try using it as a polish and a lipgloss. I will post this monochromatic look when I try it out.
The last item is the Coastal Scents medium eyeshadow brush. I've used coastal scents eyeshadows before, I have three of their 88 palettes but I have never tried their brushes and this one is very soft and dense, it reminds me of a Stila brush I used to have and I loved that one. 
I'm most excited about the eyeshadow brush because I will probably use this the most out of all the items from this months bag, also the nail polish because I'm already familiar with the Zoya brand and I do not own any colors like this, I'm least excited about the body lotion because it's not very moisturizing and I would've preferred a cream since fall and winter are super drying seasons for my skin but I will keep this in my purse since it's a good travel/purse size and I don't have any lotions in my purse at the moment. This months ipsy bag is really great I will be able to use all of these products so the $10 was well spent!
