I finally got a reply from CS and they just sent me the tracking email for the bag. It's already arrived in the location So I just didn't get an email, but they sent it out. Expect it when you do I guess.

Just got the bag! Pretty pleased - I got the eyeshadow in Set 3, which I might try to trade, and the lip bomb in the pink color (I forgot the number/name), which I also sort of want to trade for a different color or anything else, really. ...but if these items don't trade, I'll still probably use them, so overall, great bag...I'll use everything!

Edit: So I'm pretty sure it's bomb 9, as it seems like a lighter pink. But I am terrible at telling these things.

Do you find that its really opaque though, for me its so opaque it looks like paintit on my lips. It might work better for fair complexions, but my tan skin doesnt.

Oh, definitely. It goes on super solid and creamy. No shearness or glossiness to it. But I'm wicked pale so it looks decent on me I think.

Should be a number on the bottom of the tube inside a bomb.

Ahh, it's 9. Thanks for the help!

So, I just put a little on my finger and test applied it, and it's not actually half bad. I didn't think it'd work with my light/medium skintone, but if you apply lightly, it gives a nice, neutral, peachy/pink look. (Especially when I added Smashbox lip gloss over it.) I think I'll still keep it up for trade just because it's not going to be my GO TO gloss, but if no one is interested in a week or so, I'll probs keep it. Could be good for when I want to keep the lips subtle.

 I absolutely LOVE the eyeliner marker! I haven't worn eyeliner in quite some time but today I decided to apply it and wing it out. It looks great... and it lasts! I can't believe how great this bag is and how happy I am with everything! Usually there's at least one thing that's like, "eh... this kinda sucks"... but I love this whole bag! YAY!

Yup! I traded out the lip bomb, but I am really liking the colors on the eye shadow quad. Despite the bright red I would call it a cool-toned palette. I don't have a ton of burgandy/maroon shades but they look really nice as a definer with blue eyes.

Okay, I tried my eyeliner, my lip bomb (2 red) & my shadows (set 5 with the red) & OMG! I am in love with everything. Can I just say the red shadow was the thing I was most iffy about & now its the best part of the bag? I love my quad so much that I will def be re buying the colors. The Lip Bomb is crazy pigmented! You just need a tiny bit & BAM, red lips galore! The liner is something else I would buy. It didn't smudge & it lasted all day. The only downside is that the tip is a bit chubby.

Good job Ipsy!

Agreed... if it were actually a true gloss and sheerer, I would probably be super thrilled. It's definitely peachy on me. I don't like how opaque it is at all, but I tend to only use liner and gloss and rarely lipsticks.

I got my bag today!  I got Bomb #4 and set #2.  I love the set colors but am not too sure about the bomb yet?

 

[yanelib27]

The eyeliner is not as good as the Eyeko liner... but Ill still use it. 

On the other hand I REALLY like the mascara. I mean I REALLY like it. I have tried lots of them lately (at least 10 brands) and this one is so much better than those. I may actually need to purchase the full size. 

Also used the oil before i blow dried my hair yesterday and I noticed its softer and tamer today. I am currently trying to trade for another.

I got this exact bag today as well. I'm disappointed in the colors I got for both the eyeshadow & bomb

I've got two of this same bag, looking to trade the lip bomb and eyeshadow for different colors, will trade the hair oil and mascara for something else as well!

Anyone else still waiting on their box?  Mine has been "in transit" since Friday!  Was scheduled to be here today and it's not.  God, I hate the post office!

Mine was supposed to arrive yesterday and it's still not here. It was transferred to the post office 4 days ago and no update since. The same thing is happening with my birchbox.

Omgoodness, I absolutely LOVED the lipbomb. It applied great, and was super vibrant and glossy. My only issue is that that sent me a deep red, which I really can't/don't often wear. I'm considering buying one of the nude versions on Mirenesse's site. My jaw dropped at the $30 price tag though. Hopefully they have some on sale later?

might as well sign up /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> most people don't spam via mailing address anymore, at worst they'll sell your cell # or spam your email. I don't know what I signed up for that sold my cell, but I keep getting these annoying spam pre-recorded calls telling me I won some sort of cruise /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />.
HAHAHA my boyfriend gets calls like that on his new work cell phone it goes "This is your captain calling" for a cruise, omg so funny.

Huh, so I got bomb 4, and it's not very bright in the tube, but when I put it on it turns hot pink.  I'm used to lipsticks looking stronger pink on me than they do in the tubes but this was such a big change.  If I hold the bomb up to my lips after applying it, it doesn't look even remotely like the same color.

 

[ColorMeLucky]

I got BOMB#9 and have no idea how to wear it. I just tried the color on my hand and I KNOW i'll look dead wearing it hahah. Anyone have tips on how to where such a light lip color?

 

[princess2010]

I got bomb 4 and it's bright but I love it! I put the Buxom in Leslie right in the middle for extra shine and it mutes it a little and has a nice look.

I'm madly in love with the eyeliner pen!!!!! I haven't used the mascara but plan on in the morning. I got the coastal scents with the yellow, beige, olive green, and a brighter green. I really like them a lot! I can't wait to use the hair oil.

I feel bad for MG/Ipsy because there's no way they can top this bag. I've been here through the good and bad and have no intention of canceling anytime soon! Hope they can keep it up!
