So after getting an amazing bag last month I was super excited to receive my ipsy bag this month. Now I did cheat and look at what I was getting before the bag arrived and while there was one or two things from the spoilers I was really hoping to get and didn't I was still completely happy with my bag.
The first product was the pur~lisse cleanser and makeup remover. This was probably the product I was least excited about. I did use it and it made my face feel super dry, after my face was begging to be slathered in moisturizer. So this product was a miss for me.
Next up I got the Jor'el Parker rollerball perfume in classico. So I'll do the positives of this first. This is a great sized rollerball perfect to put in your purse or makeup bag and I love the idea of a sample being a rollerball I'm a huge fan of rollerballs. Now for the negative, I personally felt that this smelled a little old ladyish and when I had my husband smell it, before I told him what I thought, he said the same thing. I won't be using this but I'm sure I can find someone to gift it to.
Now that I've gone over the items I wasn't crazy about I'll talk about the great things I got in my bag.
Eyetini swizzle stick eyeliner. This came in shade Blue Hawaiian which is a bright bright blue. I was excited to see this in my spoiler and loved it after I tried it. Everyone knows colored eyeliner is really hot right now and this color absolutely screams summer. Now I read alot of people's comments on ipsys facebook posts about how they didn't want this or wouldn't use this color mostly it was because of age or eye color but I guess I'm young or bold enough to not think it's crazy to wear a blue eyeliner and I thought it looked fine with my brown eyes i also put it on my daughter who has grey blue eyes and it really stood out. The only negative I have about this is that I wear glasses and it kind of got lost behind them and didn't really stand out through them. I also usually wear lots of black eyeliner so this might have played a part in why I didn't notice the blue as much.
I was apprehensive about the bright red color that the be a bombshell lip balm came in and I had been secretly hoping I was going to get the light pink color that was also available but when I opened my bag up I had the ruby shade. Now I have to say I'm so glad I got the ruby. It gives just a light hint of color and I love it. As a lip balm it's kind of middle of the road. It's not the most moisturizing or longest lasting but it didn't dry my lips out or make them look bad and the great color definately makes it one that I will reach for.
Lastly I got the Tarte bronzer in park ave princess. This seemed to be the item everyone wanted from the spoilers and I understand why. Tarte is a great high end brand and this is a great color. Especially for fair skinned people like me. Some bronzers can be way too dark for me and even one light application can make me look like I have a bad fake tan.
The actually bag this month is slightly smaller than last month's and made out of canvas with a colorful chevron like design and front zipper. It's nice and thick and sturdy. I don't love it as much as last month's which I am currently using as my purse makeup bag but I'm using this to store some products I don't use often but like to be able to find easily when I need/want them.
So overall 3 items I loved 2 I wasn't so crazy about. The 3 hits were absolutely worth the $10 for the bag and the chance to try new products. Of the products I got this month the only brand I knew of and had tried before was tarte. I think that's really what I love about ipsy most that I get to try new brands which is so much fun
