At Last... February Ipsy Glam Bag
I feel like I've been waiting to receive this FOREVER. It looks like people have been receiving their bags starting nearly 2 weeks ago. Bloggers were saying that they never received their bags so early in the month before and their bags came before the tracking number did. I also did not yet receive a tracking number, but figures that mine would be so late! It also figures that mine would come the day after I sent Ipsy an email asking for a status update :-/ C'est la vie.
I just realized that Ipsy doesn't include a product listing card with descriptions and prices. Weird, seems like that would be essential. Anyway, here's what was in my bag:
Lash Card - I'm looking forward to using these because I suck at putting mascara on and it gets everywhere. Yeah, I hate having short lashes. I hope these come in handy, although you could obviously use an index or plastic card instead of buying Lash Cards. The shadows are really pigmented, but a little too soft and powdery. Not really sure if I would wear these colors too.
Pop Beauty Smoky Lash Kapow!!! Mascara - I don't think I will need to buy mascara for a long time because I have so many samples! In any case, I will be happy to give this a try when its turn comes up.
Mica Beauty Cosmetics - This looks like a gel liner. I wonder if this is full size or a sample? The jar is quite large, but the well inside seems kind of small. I like gel liner, so I'm sure this will be useful.
Pixi Flawless and Poreless Primer - I've heard a lot of great things about Pixi, but I've never tried any of their products. Primer is another thing I keep getting loads of samples of (not a bad thing!) so I will never have to buy! The color of this one looks nude, like Benefit's Porefessional, but becomes clear as you rub it in. It feel quite light and not as silicone-y.
Coastal Scents In the Spotlight Eye Shadow Sample Set - I've never heard of Coastal Scents, sounds like it should be a fragrance company. Looks like they have inexpensive crazy huge palettes with a billion colors.
I think this is a pretty good bag! Well, not the bag itself, which is a shiny black patent with red interior that makes me think of a dominatrix. So far I've been pleased with Ipsy and I look forward to March!

Target Fall 2012 Beauty Bag
I'm not sure if you guys are familiar with the Target beauty bags, but you just sign up through their Facebook page and you are sent samples for absolutely FREE. Apparently, this is the last Target beauty bag ever which is disappointing.
I can't complain too much because it was free, but Target has definitely done better bags in the past. Usually you get mini bottles and tubes (or I heard sometimes even full size?), but this time around it was all packets. I have to say though that I absolutely love the leopard print bag! It has already become by purse makeup bag. Here's what was inside:
Fekkai Technician Color Care Shampoo and 3-Minute Mask
L'Oreal EverCreme Nourishing Shampoo, Conditioner and Deep Nourishing Masque
Clear Scalp & Hair Therapy Nourishing Shampoo and Conditioner
Pixi Flawless Beauty Primer
Jergens Daily Moisture Lotion
Target Coupon Book
Did you guys get a Target beauty bag too?
