Welcome to this Sundays edition here on A Modern Girl Recommends and for today I’m giving you all a look into the January 2018 Ipsy Bag which features the perfect balance of products and even includes two full-size products to put even more value in this bag, but what might they be let’s have a look.

Seraphine Botanicals | Raisin + Cream Long-Lasting Lip Stain

Full size | $24.00

The first product is a lip stain by Seraphine Botanicals and this is their Raisin + Cream Long-Lasting Stain that’s buttery soft and contains Shea Butter as well as Grape Extract to help keep lips hydrated. The color is a terra-cotta with hints of berry that is both bold and sophisticated. This is a vegan lip stain that’s also free of parabens.

SLMISSGLAM | L36 Tapered Highlight Brush

Full size | $79.99 for a full set

One of the cutest makeup brushes that I have seen in a while has landed in my January Ipsy Bag and it’s by the brand SLMISSGLAM and this is their L36 Tapered Highlight Brush which features a pink glitter handle along with two pink crystals embedded in a gold ferrule. The L36 brush also has ombre color bristles that are a combination of fuchsia and candy pink that are ultra soft and picks up and distributes just the right amount of product to give a flawless finish.

The Balm Cosmetics | Mary-Lou Manizer Highlighter

Full size | $24.00

The Balm Cosmetics, Mary-Lou Manizer Highlighter has been buzzing around for quite a while now and rightfully buzzing so it’s a powdered highlighter, but has a buttery consistency that applies beautifully and gives a pretty glow highlighting all of your best features. The color is a soft gold champagne that delivers a pretty pearlescent finish.

Dermelect | Mircofacial Exfoliating Masque

Full size | $38.00

Dermelect’s Mircofacial Exfoliating Masque is the next product featured in my Ipsy Bag and this masque works to get skin radiant, it clears pores, brightens and contains ingredients such as Salicylic Acid, Coconut Oil, Sweet Orange, Avocado and Bergamont Oil.

Lue By Jean Seo |  Balance Hydrating and Calming Serum

Full size | $15.00

Lue By Jean Seo Balance Hydrating and Calming Serum is a gel serum that can address many skin concerns. The brand states that their serum works to tone, it balances, firms, controls excess oil and shine, it also hydrates, calms and minimizes the appearance of pores.

Laneige | Lip Sleeping Mask

Full size | $20.00

And for this month if you’re wondering why my Ipsy Bag had six samples instead of five there’s a reason for that I traded in some of my Ipsy Points and redeemed them for a lip sleeping mask by the brand Laneige that smells like Strawberry flavored Pop Rocks candy. The Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask is similar to those night sleeping masks for our face this one is just for our lips it restores, smooths and leaves lips feeling ultra silky soft and contains ingredients such as blueberries, strawberries, cranberries along with raspberry extracts.

And that was my Ipsy January 2018 Bag Unzipped and I loved it. The SL Miss Glam brush was the highlight of this bag for me the bristles are soft, they pick up a nice amount of product and applies the makeup quite nicely and as usual Ipsy I thought had delivered some beauty finds worth giving a whirl and getting to know and for $10.00 a month it’s well worth it. Thanks for stopping by and I will see you all soon and chime in below with your thoughts about the January Ipsy Bag and don’t forget to hit the subscribe/follow button, like and share for more to come.
