January 2016 Ipsy Subscription Unboxing & Swatches

9:17 AM


Ipsy time!

This month's bag features a very modern-pop inspired bag design (though only on one side; the other side is just blue), and includes 5 goodies.


The first is the Skyn Icelands Glacial Cleansing Cloths. The pack comes with 10 single-use cloths. I'm a huge fan of cleansing wipes, especially the Neutrogena ones. However, taking a look at the ingredient list on this pack I saw the unfortunate words: "Salix Alba (Willow) Bark Extract", as well as "Benzyl Salicylate", both of which are either Salicylic Acid or some form of said acid. 


As you may know, my skin is very allergic to salicylic acid. The 2% in Neutrogena face wash was enough to cause a chemical-burn-looking rash for a week before calling down with prescription steroids. That being the case, I won't be trying out these wipes. *womp womp*


Next is the J.Cats Beauty Blinkle Shimmer Eyeshadow in 102 Tangerine Light.



The colour is a burnt reddish-orange metallic shade which really isn't my cup of tea, but I'm sure others would love.



Next is the OFRA Eyebrow Pencil. Is the shade called "Universal"? It's an ashy brown color which would probably suit a lot of hair colours. I usually use a grey eyebrow pencil (Etude House Drawing Eyebrow Pencil) as it's a more natural colour for my black hair. 



Next is the TreStique Mini Matte Lip Crayon in Florence Fig.
The shade is a dusty reddish-mauve which is great for the winter months.



The Balm's Mr. Write (Now) Eyeliner Pencil in Jac is an interesting brown-gold colour. It's an automatic pencil and comes with 0.28g of product.
