Ipsy: March Glam Bag

March's theme: Destination Beauty


bareMinerals Marvelous Moxie Lipstick
Shade: Get Ready
yes. Yes. YES.  I have literally worn this lipstick every single day since I received it.  I'd never used any bareMinerals products before this, and I am in love.  This shade is the perfect nude for my skin tone.  It matches the color of my lips wonderfully.  It's an easy-to-wear essential.  The texture is buttery and moisturizing, exactly how I prefer my lipsticks.  And, come on, Marvelous Moxie.  That's an awesome name.
Price of full-size product: $18


Be A Bombshell Eyeshadow Quad
Shade: Bora Bora
I have been loving two of the four colors in this quad.  If you don't already know this about me, I love my neutrals and nudes.  That teal is a wonderful color... for a summery top.  I have no idea how to apply a color that bold, but I know some people that could rock it!  The top left color is my favorite.  You can't tell it from the picture, but it has a purpley tint to it.  I would recommend these shadows to be worn over a primer for extended wear.
Price of full-size product: $16


Nicole by O.P.I. Roughles textured nail lacquer
Shade: On What Grounds?
The color- gorgeous.  It could be interpreted as a springy turquoise or a wintery cool blue.  What you can't tell from the bottle: after applied, this nail polish has a rough, pebbly texture.  (BTW, the name is pronounced like "ruffles".  I was reading it "rough-less" in my head.  It has a much cuter name now that I know how to pronounce it.)  I thought the texture would bother me- it feels almost like sandpaper- but it didn't catch onto my tights or anything.  The texture takes getting used to, but isn't as annoying as you'd think it would be!
Price of full-size product: $9


Pixi Flawless Beauty Primer
I can't decide which is my favorite from this glam bag- the bareMinerals lipstick, or this Pixi primer.  It makes my foundation go on flawlessly!  I have tried a couple of other primers in the past, but this one is definitely my favorite.  It adds a touch of shimmer underneath your foundation as well.  Just the right amount.  The only thing that would make it better would be SPF.  It smells like it has a touch of sunscreen in it to me, but since it doesn't make that claim, I'll have to assume that it doesn't.
Price of full-size product: $9
