Subscription Box: IPSY March 2014

Lately IPSY has had some awesome bags! I was thrilled by February's bag, and I'm over the moon about March's bag. Despite the fact that there are only 4 products, these products are amazing!


I received:
Nicole by OPI polish in On What Grounds?
bareMinerals Marvolous Moxie Lipstick in Get Ready
Pacifica's Indian Coconut Nectar Body Butter
Be A Bombshell's Eyeshadow Quad in Bora Bora

Here are the swatches:


I love the eyeshadow quad colors. They have great color payoff and look fabulous on colored skin tones. I like that the quad has both a daytime look (browns) and colors for more adventurous looks.  As much as I wanted to love the lipstick, the shade was not for me. The shade comes off almost a hot pink on my lips and I prefer a soft pink or a true red. The quality is superb and I can see why everyone raves about these lipsticks.  They go on super creamy. I will definitely be checking out some other shades in these lippies. As for the nail polish, you can check out my review of it here.

Do you subscribe to Ipsy or any other beatuy boxes? What do you think about this month's box?

PERFUME REVIEW: Nicole by Nicole Richie

A while back I received Nicole by Nicole Richie in one of my beauty boxes. Normally I don't like celebrity fragrances since I feel like they are designed cheaply and that the celebrity is hoping the fragrance sells solely on name recognition and fans rather than quality of the fragrance. However, I actually would repurchase this scent.

The perfume has a nice, sweet scent which is very fruity and floral. There are orange notes (Seville orange) and rose while the sandalwood, patchouli and vanilla absolute give it a very warm, cozy feeling.

What is your favorite celebrity perfume? Would  you give Nicole a shot?
