Unlock the Spell: L'Amour Mauve Eye Shadow Collection from Beautifully Disney

I didn't just try out the lippies from the Beautifully Disney line, but gave one of their eye shadow palettes a whirl as well!

The Unlock the Spell eye shadow palette by Beautifully Disney retails for $27.95 with four huge shadows in a gorgeous collectors palette with outlines of Tiana, Belle, and Rapunzel: the three Princesses who literally have to unlock a spell in their stories.

This palette is called L'Amour Mauve, which is no surprise considering the rose tones housed within it. I love how big the pans are, and the colors are easy to make a look out of!

There is a sparkling cream color, a dusty deep mauve, a red-toned violet, and a sparkling medium toned brown. All have some shimmer but no heavy glitter. 

Overall, they perform fairly well, although they are patchy on my hand. They blend into a nice eye look (coming soon!) and I really love the concept and packaging. I also like that they put together four shades that actually work well together!

However, you may have similar shades in your stash, and although this formula is nothing to sneeze at, it's not perfect. I also wish it had a mirror!

I will probably be sticking with BD glosses and polishes in the future, but I am glad I have this to pull out whenever I want to feel like a Princess!

Ipsy January Bag: Review

Hey friends!
It's Ipsy time. This months' bag was centered mostly on skin care. Was I impressed? Let's find out!

I received 5 products this month. The bag is cute, but not amazing. I'll break down the products and my thoughts.
1. 4 Proactiv Mark Fading Pads. These have 5% glycolic acid and 2% salicylic acid. I haven't tested these as last time I tried Proactiv, I broke out. My skin may have some mild acne but it is sensitive to anything harsh. There isn't a specific price on the Proactiv website as these are sold in a kit, but I would say this is about $5 worth.
2. Elizabeth Mott Smooth Shadow Creamy Eye Pencil in Pearl. This is pretty worthless to me. Way too creamy, and such a tiny size. Oh well. The full size retails for $14.99 but to me, this is worth zero. If I was going to give it a price, I would say maybe $3.

3. Mica Beauty Tinted Lip Balm in Natural. This is really pretty! A flattering rose/nude color and is decently hydrating. The retail value on the full size is $30. This is a half size and does not come with the lip brush as it does in their online store. So to me, I could see this worth $10-$15.
4. Epice Purifying Exfoliant. I really love this. Made the bag worth it. On their website, their skincare is made to work with the Clarisonic, which I have. But it works with just your hands and water as well. The full retail for a 3.3 oz size is $32 and this is a 1 oz size. So, about a $10 value here.
5. Healthy Sexy Hair Soy Tri-Wheat Leave-In Conditioner. I like getting hair things in my Ipsy bag. My hair is a mess right now, so hopefully this will help. It smells decent and feels pretty good on my split ends. For $17.95 the full size is 8.5 oz. This is 1.7 oz. I can barely do math, BUT, this is worth about $4.
Overall value: $32. A little less for me than other bags, but still three times more than the price of an Ipsy bag!
Did you love this months' Ipsy bag? Tell me what you got!
