So we have butterflies this month, I don’t like butterflies or bugs of any kind. Th bag is super high quality this month so it will make a nice gift add on.

Firma Beauty 202 Angled Blender Brush

Full Size: Yes

Full Size Cost: $12.99

I don’t love an angled brush but I will use it. This is on par with the quality and softness of Luxie brushes.  This 202 feels nicely packed which I appreciate.

Pūrlisse Coconut Oil + Coffee Sugar Body Scrub

Full Size: 6 oz

Full Size Cost: $36

Sample Size: 0.7 oz

Value: $4.20

This was an alright scrub it smelled really good and left my skin soft but not filmy. My gripe here is the size this was only good for one use. This little “deluxe” sample size is for sale for ten fucking dollars too what a joke.

Biorace Pore Tightening Pearl Clay Mask

Full Size: 3.88 oz

Full Size Cost: $25

Sample Size: 1 oz

Value: $6.44

This is supposed to shrink pores and brighten skin. I have a really big party I need to go to and then graduation right after so I don’t want to try anything new on my face right now as a safety measure.

Smashbox Always On Liquid Lipstick in Miss Conduct

Full Size: 3.84 ml

Full Size Cost: $24

Sample Size: ?

Value: $6

I am getting quite the collection of these, and that is fine by me I love the color selection and formula on them.  They are super light on the lips and pretty transfer-proof.  This is a nice deep plumy burgundy color. I don’t like that they don’t list how big these containers are so I kinda guess that it is a quarter or the full size. Swatched Below.

Luna Cosmetics Eye Shadow in Spiced Pumpkin

Full Size: 1.5 g

Full Size Cost: $15

Sample Size: 1.5 g

Value: $15

This is a super creamy feeling eyeshadow much better then their matte or shimmer formulas, this is a really coppery metallic shadow. I don’t use alot of orangey/copper shades so this won’t get alot of use but it is very pretty and feels really nice. Swatched Below.

This was a really good month I appreciate the assortment and I love when we get brushes from Ipsy, brushes are definitely my favorite thing to get from them because I won’t spend $12 on one brush but I’ll spend $10 on Ipsy to get a brush and some other stuff.

So this is my 100th post I feel like that is really monumental I am super proud of myself! I don’t know if anyone has actually read all my posts probably not but I thank you for being here.

As you can see I have changed up the design on this blog quite a bit I am still tweaking it and trying to get it perfect but I’d love to know your thoughts on it.

So this month’s bag came with markers so that you can color it. I colored it in a little just so you can. This is one of the nicer quality bags they have sent out and it is a bit bigger then than the normal bags they send. Unfortunately for I won’t use this because faces without eyes weird me out and I don’t like looking at them.

Too Faced Sex Kitten Eyeliner

Full Size: 0.2 g

Full Size Cost: $20

Sample Size: 0.1 g

Value: $10

This isn’t smudgey which is key for me but it is supposed to be triple black pigment whatever the fuck that means and I found this to not be super black at all. The packaging reminds me of old school Too Faced packaging from like mid 2000s which is super nostalgic to my formative years of buying makeup. Swatched Below.

City Color Glow Duo Cream and Powder Highlight

Full Size: Cream: 7 g Powder: 8.8 g

Full Size Cost: $5.99

Sample Size: Cream: 2.6 g Powder: 3.2 g

Value: $2.20

Another City Color mini palette thing I had really bad luck with the one they sent in January ago. I just could not get it to work and ended up throwing it away when I was on vacation because it just didn’t work for me. I couldn’t really give a used crappy product away to someone I just couldn’t do that. Again this is not full size it is just under half but it feels full size ad I like this packaging better than the full size packaging just very odd. For that price point I feel like they should have sent the full size. This is a highlighting palette that has a cream side and a powder side. The powder is super dark and the cream is super fair so this is like a palette that only half is going to work for an given person. Which is a strange set up The consistency on these seems a lot nicer so we shall see how I get these to work or if they are just as bad as the contour palette. Swatched Below.

Hikari Cosmetics Cream Pigment in Envy

Full Size: 4 g

Full Size Cost: $13

Sample Size: 2 g

Value: $6.50

 

 

So this is cool it a pressed cream pigment kind of like those L’oreal Infallible ones. I like the texture but you have to be careful because it can chunk up and ball up if you aren’t careful you have to build it thinly and not dig in the pan. In this packaging I think it is going to dry out pretty fast things like this need to be in a jar with a screw top usually. This is a really pretty shimmery green. I love the texture of these type of eyeshadows so this will definitely get used. These are perfect for a quick five minute out the door look. Swatched Below.

Glossier Balm Dotcom in Mint

Full Size: 15 ml

Full Size Cost: $12

Sample Size: 7 ml

Value: $5.60

This is the thing I was most excited about I have been dying to try this for so long that when I saw this was an option this month I was so hoping I would get it and I did; for once I lucked out. This is super minty to start with you can smell it and taste it and feel the cooling mintyness on your lips. It is a thick slightly sticky balm but in a good way it feels great on the lips and rubbed in to the skin. Now that I know how much I like it I will probably buy up more of these. It is technically a skin salve and it does feel really good and balmy rubbed in to the skin.

Goldfaden MD Solution Facial Detox

Full Size:  50 ml

Full Size Cost: $65

Sample Size: 20 ml

Value: $26

This came when my skin was breaking out pretty bad and this mask did seem to help aclear out a lot of the congestion in my skin and helped draw out the breakouts that were coming up and heal the ones that were already there. So I am a fan of this. I am not a fan of the price, but this is a pretty high value sample for Ipsy.

I am really happy with this months bag I got all things in my wheel house I love 3 of my 5 items and one is $26 dollars so that is more than worth it to me this is the month to beat this year for Ipsy. Oh and checking back in with the leaky lipstick from last month I contacted Ipsy and they sent me a new one no problem that wasn’t leaking so that was great.

So we have a pale pink and lace cheap feeling bag this month but definitely some full size products.

But really exciting looking products.

Naked Cosmetics Lip Scrub in Vanilla Cream

Full Size: 6.5 g

Full Size Cost: $4.99

Sample Size: 6.5 g

Value: $4.99

So this doesn’t smell or taste like anything….. but it has a nice consistency so that’s great. It is scrubby and oily with out being to oily or scrubby. I think this is full size I can’t really find the size online.

Marc Anthony Grow Long Leave In Conditioner

Full Size: 250 ml

Full Size Cost: $5.99

Sample Size: 50 ml

Value: $1.20

This is a very full tube. I love Marc Anthony haircare stuff and have been seeing this around so I’m so excited to have gotten it. It has caffeine and ginseng which I don’t know if I have ever seen in a hair thing before. I have never used a leave in so this is great. These samples are never high value but I get a ton of use out of them and they are some of my favorite samples.

Luxie 249 Brush

Full Size: Yes

Full Size Cost: $24

 

So this brush doesn’t exist on their site something that has happened with IpsyxLuxie before so I linked to the nose contouring brush which is the only comparable double ended brush that they have. This is an odd eyeshadow brush dense but flimsy blending brush that I would only use as a clean blending brush and then like a really big kinda fluffy packing brush that I feel like would be hard to use. I’m still thrilled to get a Luxie brush I’m just mystified by the use of this one.

Mellow Precision Pen Eyeliner

Full Size: 1.8 g

Full Size Cost: $14

Sample Size: 1.8 g

Value: $14

So positive this doesn’t smudge. Negatives it isn’t smooth or super black you have to build it up and I don’t love these marker style of liquid liners the packaging is pretty though. When I swatched it I tried to show that you can make a thick and thin line but I did have to build it up to make it a solid black color. Swatched Below.

Ofra Liquid Lipstick in Unzipped

Full Size: 6 g

Full Size Cost: $20

Sample Size: 6 g

Value: $20

This is a pretty shade but I think my spoiled in shipping there is like oil leaking out of it Idk. Its weird I emailed Ipsy but they haven’t gotten back to me yet so I will update you next month on what their solution is. Swatched Below.

I can’t believe I got so many full sized product this month I am really please with the brush and the conditioner. The lipstick would be great if it wasn’t mysteriously leaking.
