Ipsy September 2014

Welcome back to Sweet Sunshine! Today I have my September 2014 Ipsy products to show you. If you are interested in learning more about Ipsy just scroll down to the end of this post for details. 

I am so excited to bring you this month’s Ipsy bag and it’s wonderful products. I was generally happy and excited for the products I received this month. Everything was either full sized or a (generous) deluxe sample. Read on to get a little more info on these awesome products.

Can we just stop and admire this month’s adorable Ipsy bag. This bag is sleek and definitely fits the “Street Style” theme Ipsy is going for this month. And how gorgeous are the Youtube Beauty Bloggers?

Pacifica 7 Free Nail Polish 

in Red Red Wine

I absolutely love (and I am ridiculously obsessed with) nail polish. It is one of my guilty pleasures and I was ecstatic to be receiving this nail polish. The brand is Pacifica which in my book is a really great brand. It is a beautiful deep red color perfect for fall. This polish is definitely a winner!! Not only is the packaging adorable but the formula is also really great. You can find this polish at pacificabeauty.com and it retails for $9. (Shhh this will be our little secret…Ipsy members (and now you) can get 20% off your Pacifica Beauty order using the code FallBeauty at checkout) 😉

Sample Size cost: $9

Be A Bombshell Smooth Criminal Powder

in translucent

Next we have this Be A Bombshell Smooth Criminal Powder. This is a translucent powder with ONE ingredient. Silica. I thought this was interesting. It feels good and the skin and seems to do its job of controlling the oils on my face and keeping my skin matte. This was a generous sample size. We received 4g of product and the full sized is 5g. A full sized powder (5g) costs $12 and you can get it at beabombshellcosmetics.com. Use ‘Ipsy30’ at checkout for 30% off your order plus a free delight lip gloss. 

Sample Size cost: $9.60 (4g)

Hikari Lipstick

in Cabernet

How can you be mad at a full sized lipstick? I know I’m not mad. I was so happy to see this in my Ipsy bag. This is a gorgeous deep raspberry red color perfect for the upcoming fall and winter seasons. It glides on so smoothly and pigmented. This is really an awesome lipstick. It feels great on the lips and doesn’t dry them out. Although it is beautiful color I can’t help but to wish it was a different color for me personally. I like it but I don’t love it (just because of the shade). But hey, I’m not complaining. LOL! This is a full sized item and retails for $13 at hikaricosmetics.com. Use code hikari30 to receive 30% of your order. 

Sample Size cost: $13

Nourish Organic 

Moisturizing Cream Facial Cleanser

I love cleansers so much! This Nourish Organic Facial Cleanser is 100% Natural USDA-Certified Organic and is chemical, cruelty and concern free. The has cucumber and watercress and is fragrance free. Although it claims to be fragrance free I found that it had a kind of unpleasant smell to it which might be the watercress. Idk. Other than that I did like how this made my skin feel. A full size of this retails for $13.99 (6 fl oz). Use the code Ipsy30 to receive 30% off any Nourish Organic facial product. 

Sample Size cost: $2.33 (1 fl oz)

Mitchell and Peach 

Luxury Hand Cream

Last I got the Mitchell and Peach luxury hand cream. This hand cream has vitamin e, shea butter and english honey. I expected this to smell a little better than it did but it is not a bad smell. The formula is a bit watery and not creamy at all but boy does it leave my hands soft. I was impressed after I felt my hands. Love this hand cream. It has notes of honey and lavender and is light and subtle working wonders for your hands. This hand cream retails for 17 pounds ($22 US dollars) for 60 ml. Use code Ipsy22 at checkout for 20% of your order. 

Sample Size cost: $11 (30 ml)

This makes the grand total value of my September 2014 Ipsy bag $44.93 not including the cute, sleek bag. What an amazing deal right? Considering I only paid $10. I love every item I received and I am super excited to keep trying out these items. Did we get similar bags this month? Or did you get something a little different?
