This month's Ipsy bag was given the theme "The Art of Beauty" My bag contained 4 deluxe & 1 full sized product in a white & pink bag. This bag is made of a thicker, more durable material than previous bags, which I like, but I don't like that it's white, since it will be prone to staining. In a messy script writing, the bag reads "Love of beauty is taste. The creation of beauty is art." Sexy Hair Blow Dry Volumizing GelThis is the Blow Dry Volumizing Gel from Sexy Hair. This is a clear gel that is meant to be applied to damp hair from roots to ends before blow drying to add volume to the hair. I am looking forward to trying this, because I blow dry my hair a lot and my thin hair isn't really known for having volume. (deluxe size, 1.7 fl oz) Buxom Lip Polish in DollyI would be more excited about this if I didn't already have it! I received the sample size of this in the exact same color from Sephora about a month ago, so I have two now. The Buxom Lip Polishes are a tinted plumping gloss. They provide a nice cooling & tingling feeling that lasted on my lips for about an hour. The shade Dolly is a mauve with a little shimmer (see it swatched below). If your lips aren't very pigmented than this color will show up, but it's about the same color as my lips and only adds a little shine & the cooling feeling. (Deluxe size) LA Fresh Oil Free Face Cleanser WipesI am not excited about this stuff. I only use face wipes when removing my makeup at night, and the fact that the package says "removes light makeup" makes it look like I won't have a use for these. I have plenty of face wipes, and I don't need my payed makeup, nail & hair subscription service to send me them. Zoya GiovannaI was very happy to see a Zoya polish in my Ipsy bag. My first Zoya polish came in my May Ipsy Bag and since then I have bought 8 more that I love! This shade is from the Fall 2013 Satin collection, and is called Giovanna. It's a shimmery kelly green and I am excited to try out this color because the only colors I have similar to it are more of an ocean blue color. Nourish Organic Deeply Nourishing Coconut & Argan Body LotionThis is the other product I am disappointed in. It's not that it's a bad lotion, but I buy the Ipsy bags to get makeup, nail polishes and maybe even some hair products. If I need lotion, I will go buy my own and I would much rather have something else in my bag. Anyway, moving on, this lotion has an interesting smell that I'm not sure if I love it or hate it. It has a pretty strong coconut smell, which I love, but something is off about it. This lotion as a medium consistency and is pretty lightweight. I'm sure I will get some use out of it.

Even more disappointing because this may be my last Ipsy bag! I am sad, but my 6 month subscription has ended and I'm not sure if I am ready to shell out another $60 for six more months or even $110 for another year.
