The time of the month again~
I received my package on the 11th which was good for this month
March feels long so it'll be awhile until April bag
Everything that came in the bag this month.
When spoilers first came out in late February people really seemed to love the bag and I did too~ I was hoping for a cute nautical theme and it seems the theme of this bag was "vacation getaway". The spoilers came out pretty fast and we realized we were only getting four items (though it is truly five). I notice the value of the bag is quite a bit lower than the last couple of months but can't expect perfection everytime. Though most of this bag doesn't appeal to me, it gives me something new to try at least. I don't also go into it for purely the value anyways. It's just that Ipsy has one of the best values usually and if they don't hit the mark everytime, I'll just hope next month is better~
The bag was truly my favourite thing. The past few months were monotone colours but this is a cute navy blue anchor themed bag. The texture is a little strange because it's not clothy. It feels like the texture of a raincoat. This would be a perfect little bag for going to the beach~ The ipsy logo is also on the inside.
♥ GlamRX Mini Freestyle Palette [Mini Size | Value ~8$]
The first thing in the bag and the first spoiler, I believe, was this GlamRX palette. When spoilers first came out everyone thought it was a Zpalette but they quickly revealed it was this. It was a lot smaller than I imagined, it is about the size of a credit card. I think the design is really cute however and it will be something to stick into the bag. I just don't really use that many depotted things so I don't know what I will put in there. Someone suggested bobby pins but I can't imagine fitting more than a few in there. I just wish the Coastal Scents eyeshadows we received last month could go in there but people have said they're not magnetic and are difficult to take out of the case. It can be done if you buy seperate magnets but I am too lazy to do such things now. ;p At least for the second item, they sent two little shadows that were meant to go in this so it isn't so empty anymore. I just don't know what else I'll put in there yet~
♥ Yaby Eyeshadow Refill in Sand Dune and So Vain [Full Size | Value ~6.30$]
Two yaby eyeshadow refills we received this month. Everyone was pretty excited for this brand since swatched made it appear to be really pigmented but unfortunately that is not the case with these. They are still decent quality and very soft and pretty colours but it doesn't transfer to my eyes as well. I'm happy I got this colour combination though, the turquoise is beautiful and will make a fantastic eyeliner colour. The sandy colour appeals to me somewhat and it's very neutral. The other options were two pinky mauvey type colours. These shadows were a lot tinier than I imagined as well, especially since they are full sized.
♥ Juice Beauty Hydrating Mist [Sample Size | Value ~3.50$]
♥ LA Fresh Travel Lite Makeup Remover [Travel Size | Value 2$]
The final two things in the bag were skincare items. The make-up remover wipes are really small and you only get 8 in this travel size. Many seem to really love this brand but I don't really see this as worth it because I just use baby wipes I can buy from the store for 80 to a dollar. They come in a convenient little bag that will fit easily in a purse so maybe if I need it one day while traveling~
The other item was a hydrating mist. I'm guessing it is supposed to be like a toner since the directions state to spray it on a freshly clean face.It was a bit scary to spray this on my face since it didn't seem very misty and the spray came jetting at my face. I didn't notice much when I used it but it does have an awful smell to it. It is overtly floral and kind of stung my face a little bit. The plus side is that this sample is a great little size.
The value itself was almost 20$ which is double the value for the amount paid which isn't bad at all. Unfortunately, this bag is a bit of a miss for me. I'm not really impressed by most of the items whereas the other months were really fantastic. It's not enough to get me to unsubscribe though because I still think it's a great and cheap subscription box that gives you a good value for your money. Though most of these items don't appeal to me, I will surely find some use out of them and maybe one of them will impress me later. For now, the best thing in the bag was the actual bag itself.
I'm looking forward to next month~
