For me:

January- Mica tinted balm & proactiv mark fading pads. I was obsessed with those. Too bad proactiv is such a shady company.

February- None.

March- Marvelous Moxie lipstick. I didn't wear anything else for a long time after I got it.

April- None. I hated every single thing in this bag.

May- None. I hated every single thing in this bag. The bag was cute though!

June- The beach spray and the Nyx gloss. AND OH MY GOD THE BAG.

 
January: Briogeo Don't Despair, Repair! Mask. LOVE this stuff! I have two containers of the full size for back-up!

February: Zoya Nail Polish in Dot . 

March: Pixi Beauty Flawless Face Primer. I use this every day now by itself for my foundation!

April: Elizabeth Mott Pop! Eye shadow in Champagne.

May: Favorite bag so far from this year! Loved everything, but if I had to pick one, it would be the Derma e Microdermabrasion Scrub. Still have this sample, and plan on getting more!

June: Marc Anthony Beach Spray. Smells amazing! 

July: I do not have my bag yet, but I think I will like the Elizabeth Mott Tints and Sass!

February: Zoya Nail Polish in Dot (Love me some zoya!), City Color be matte blush (I have been using this a ton and love it!) Tini Beauty (I wasn't over the moon about this when the bag arrived but I just recently used it and it's beautiful. I got the purple one) 

March: Chella eyeliner (My first one dried up but chella sent me a new one and while it's not my favorite eyeliner ever, it's decent) pixi beauty flawless beauty primer (I love how luminous this makes my dry skin) bare mineral marvelous moxie lipstick in get ready (not the best color on me, but i love the formula) 

April: Elizabeth Mott eyeshadow (nice formula and while it's not super unique to my collection, it will get used), UD eyeliner (while the one I got in my bag was dry and flaky, they are sending me a replacement and I have high hopes for this, and am thinking I just got a defective one)
adding to my entry! 

May: calvin klein endless euphoria. The bag this month sucked in general, but I ended up liking the perfume a lot

June: Marc anthony dream waves beach spray. I love love love this stuff. Smells so good and works amazingly well in my hair. Nyx butter gloss in creme brulee.

Oct: Zoya Nail Polish (dark metallic purple)

Sep: a dud, but I guess the best item was the NYX Single Eye Shadow

 
This month (July) my favorite item is the Pixi lip balm in Unique Pink. It feels wonderful on, makes my lips so soft and lasts a long time. I received a Cynthia Rowley lip gloss from Birchbox this month and the Pixi is getting way more use.

 
My list so far for 2014:

January: Proactiv+ Mark Fading Pads (I would purchase these, if you could do so individually)

February: Tini Beauty Eyetini Cordial Cream Shadow + Base In One (I got Ambrosia, love it)

March: NYX Love in Rio Eye Shadow (This bag was kind of a dud for me, but this little trio comes in handy to travel)

April: Everything. (I got the UD Velvet pencil, a Costal Scents brush, Dr. Brandt Microdermabrasion, Elizabeth Mott Champagne shadow and a Starlooks nude lip pencil. I have used all of these so much, and bought more of the brushes)

May: Avene Thermal Spring Water (Basically obsessed with this stuff for soothing my skin)

June: NYX Butter Gloss and Jesse's Girl eyeliner (Use these all the time, can never get enough)

July: bareMinerals 5-in-1 BB Advanced Performance Cream Eyeshadow (Got Divine Wine, and I want some more colors)

I actually rarely consider any of my ipsy bags all that bad - probably the worst so far was June, but only because it was a bummer about the terrible BaB mascara. :D /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

 
May (1st bag): purlisse, hey honey, love the bag!

June: NYX butter gloss, realtree perfume (as an on the go)

July: Pixi balm, Pop bronzer (didn't see that coming), love the bag

 
This isn't necessarily all from 2014 but I thought I would share the stand-out products I've received from Ipsy in general:

- Cailyn Gel Liner (love the brush!!).. very nice quality hasn't dried on me and it's over a year old.

- Elizabeth Mott Tints & Sass lip/cheek stain.. refreshing to see this concept that wasn't the oh-so-hyped Benetint.

- Yaby Natural Finish Foundation.. don't get me wrong this is not my favorite foundation by any means but I think they were being considerate in their choice because I can see this working for a lot of skin types (I'm oily but the finish can def be flattering on dry skin).

- Dr. Brandt face scrub.. I really enjoyed this; I love scrubs and exfoliants plus it smelled like lemons!

- Urban Decay Revolution lipsticks/Velvet liners.. I like how Ipsy always keeps up with new UD releases.

 
March: marvelous moxie lipstick, Pacifica Indian coconut nectar lotion

April: rainbow honey nail polish, coastal scents brush, dr.Brandt exfoliator

May and June: no stand outs for me

July: 5n1 bare minerals eye shadow

August: perversion mascara, dr.Brandt pores no more

August: I didn't love anything this month. Actually this was tied with September 2013 for worst bag ever.

September: Pacifica Eye Pencil in Fringe. Finally found a brown that looks good on me. The BAG itself !!!!

February: Zoya Nail Polish in Dot . 

March: Pixi Beauty Flawless Face Primer. I use this every day now by itself for my foundation!

Now seems like a good time to go back and look at my bags for the year :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Jan : Huh, this wasn't a great month.  I guess the best item for me was the makeup wipes?

Feb : Skyn Iceland mud mask

March : Chella blue eyeliner, still use this quite frequently

April : City Color White Gold shadow/highlight mousse.  Wasn't expecting much, but this stuff is awesome.

May : Hey Honey peel-off mask

June : Marc Antony beach wave spray. 

July : Em Tints & Sass

August : The bag itself was the best item here.

Sept : The Crown brush was by far the best item.  I traded or haven't opened everything else.

Oct : Noya lipstick, or the Figs & Rouge handcream

Nov : We'll see, there's a couple things in there that might be good,

 
I haven't seen anyone mention this yet, but I loved the LeeAnni Eco moisturizer from September. I only started using my sample this month (I'm really backlogged with samples) and it makes my skin so soft! I don't want to put on makeup anymore!

 
October was my first bag, and even though I actually really liked everything in it, I'm crazy about the Noyah lipstick and the Indie Lee brightening cleanser, but only when used as a mask.  It was okay for me as a cleanser, but as a mask, it's incredible!  I probably won't be purchasing the Indie Lee because but I am almost certainly purchasing a full sized lipstick before the month is out.

In November, my favorite thing was definitely the Starlooks gem eye pencil in Ultra Olive.
