Review: January Ipsy Bag & Healthy Sexy Hair.

Review: So I received my first Ipsy bag this month and inside it had Willa Naturals makeup remover wipes, Elizabeth Mott smooth shadow in the color Penny, Mica Beauty Cosmetics tinted lip balm #5, Nourish Organic lightweight moisturizing face lotion argan and rosewater, and Healthy Sexy Hair soy tri- wheat leave in conditioner. The first product I tried out was the face lotion by Nourish Organic which is a 100% organic beauty company. The first thing I noticed about the lotion was the smell, the smell was amazing the mixture of the rosewater and argan smelled like a orange citrus smell. The lotion made my face really soft but I also realized my face soaked the lotion right up in the matter of minutes. I applied a little more and then my face stayed smooth. The second product I sampled was the Healthy Sexy Hair leave in conditioner. I did not like this product at all. After my shower I t-shirt dried my hair until it was damp then sprayed the leave in conditioner all over my hair. I then brushed it out and had knots galore! I only use on leave in conditioner religiously and that is the Biolage daily leave in tonic. This Healthy Sexy Hair did absolutely nothing for me and I was actually disappointed. I know some people go for name brand products but I look for a product that does something for me and benefits me. I then used the Willa Naturals makeup remover wipes for my face after my shower and washing my face to make sure all of my makeup was off before I went to bed. I really liked these wipes because they were soft and gentle on my skin, they smelled wonderful, and left my skin hydrated and smooth. I still have not tried the Mica Beauty Cosmetics tinted lip balm or the Elizabeth smooth shadow yet but I plan on using it in my next tutorial. I apologize for the tutorial not being up this week, I had some problems with the camcorder and I promise it will be up next week. I am planning on filming a Valentines dramatic date night look. I hope you all enjoy my review and go out and try some of these products for yourself! If their are any products you would like me to sample and review  please feel free to email me at: sydneylim7396@gmail.com
