This month's theme was Beauty Candy.
 
What was in my October Ipsy bag?

 

28g
Cost: $28.00 (191g)
I found this body butter to be very moisturizing to the skin. The consistency of this product is thick which makes it a great formula. I am not fond of the scent of this body butter as it is a bit strong when first applied; however, after a while it does not smell too bad.
 
 
1.4g
Cost: $18.00 (4.5g)
I am in love with this shade of lipstick. It is the perfect shade of a mauvy pink colour. The formula is very smooth, creamy and moisturizing to the lips. It is also very pigmented. This lipstick does have a slight smell to it but it is not very strong.

30mL
Cost: $13.99 (177mL)
This cleanser is very soft and gentle on the skin. It left my skin feeling smooth and clean. After using this product for a few days I had to stop because I really did not like the scent to it. Aside from the odor it does what it claims to do.

10 Single-Use Cloths
Cost: $15.00 (30 Single-Use Cloths)
This cleansing cloths are great for taking off face makeup but I do find it does not remove my mascara and eye liner as well as other cleansing cloths do. I am not too fond of the smell and find that sometimes it is a bit rough on the skin.

2.5g
Cost: $14.95
I am not a big fan of this shade as I tend to go for more neutral colours. The formula of this eye shadow is not too great. I find that even with a primer applied first, the colour needs to be packed on to get the true pigment from it.
                            
 
Overall, I was not too pleased with this months Ipsy bag. I didn't like the scent of a lot of the products and don't see myself purchasing the full size products of many of these. My favourite product was the lipstick.
