Finaaaally received my Ipsy bag this month~
Usually I get it a little earlier considering many people got theirs before mine
I'm a patient enough person though and I waited until it showed up~
I got to see what I received in my glam room before I got it
so I anticipated what colours I would end up with at least...
Last month wasn't a great month for ipsy personally~
But this month was shaping up to be somewhat better.
Anyways~
Here is what I got.
♥
The bag~
I am honestly not really in love with this bag.
I like leopard print and it can look really cute~
But the neon zipper is a little too much for my tastes
If it was black and had a bit of a more classic taste
I'd find it a bit easier to take out~
♥Starlooks Lip Pencil in Bare [Full Size | 12$]
After getting a red lipliner last month, I was fairly unimpressed. I was worried I'd end up with a bright colour once again. I was pleased to find that I got a brown-ish neutral. I am honestly not sure how much this will suit me but I'm sure I can make it work better than a flashy red. I hope they stop with lipliner soon or at least list it as some sort of option to say I don't like it. This is my second one in a row now and I don't like or wear them~~ I also found it a bit of a coincidence that I got a Starlooks product in the ipsy bag this month and I just subscribed to that box last month. ^_^
♥NYX Cream Blush in Natural [Full Size | 6$]
Colour is very good! I was worried I'd end up with a bronzey colour again. Honestly though... I thought, shit. :p I put on my profile I have oily skin... and I got the opposite of what I need. Ack. I've never really tried a cream blush but I do have really oily skin and summertime is just amplifying that. The colour is really pretty and I'll try it but I don't have high hopes. I really wanted one of the powder ones~ Oh well.
♥J.Cat Beauty Sparkling Creme Palette in Volta [Full Size | 4.50$]
This little controversial item in the bag~ Glitter and sparklies are my favourite thing and I really thought this palette was extremely prettttty when I saw it. Unfortunately, they advise putting it anywhere near your eyes. It's like, huh.. what am I supposed to use it for then? General... glitteryness for everyday life? It's a shame, it is really pretty! I like staring at it in the palette. I guess it could be used for special occasions. I dunno. It's just sparkly and I like it.
♥Cailyn Cosmetics Gel Eyeliner in Purple [Full Size | 21$]
The design of this is pretty nifty and I'm a big fan of gel liner. I was hoping for the Iron colour but this colour is pretty dark swatched so I think it can work~ I think this would have looked lovely with my purple hair. Honestly, I think a lot of my unused ipsy product colours would look nicer on me if my hair was a tad darker. Ah well~ I will have fun with this though. It's the highest value item and I will get use out of it.
♥Chella Highlighter [Full Size | 18$]
I am most most most happy with this one! This is the most practical thing in the bag that I know I will get a lot of use out of. I really love to use highlighter in the inner corner of my eyes and my water line and this is the perfect colour for it. I'm really happy with the quality and that I got it in my bag. ^_^
Overall, I am much happier with this bag than I am last month
and I will definitely stick with them since it is nearly guaranteed I'll get something I like.
It seems like they are at least trying with the match making but there are still lots of flaws.
As long as there is one thing I like, it makes it worth the 10$ to me
and getting to try new things really pushes me out of my comfort zone~
The value of my bag this month is ~60$ which is a fantastic value.
Especially since everything in my bag was also full size~
So ipsy really redeemed themselves from last month for me. ^_^
Anyways.. until next month~~~
