6 products this month I love when I get 6  products.

I got lucky there were 3 bag options this month and I got the one I was hoping for. It is a nice soft scrunchable fake leather pouch with a god tassel for the zipped and its really one of the nicer Ipsy bag.

Seraphine Botanicals Liquid Coal 

Full Size: 2 ml

Full Size Cost: $22

Sample Size: 2 ml

Value: $22

Well Fuck I thought this was nice but I don’t know that it is worth $22. It was a nice matte black liner it didn’t skip it was nice and smooth but the packaging feels cheap with the pink butterflies for such an expensive product. It says waterproof but it didn’t kill me to remove it. This is also cruelty free. Swatched Below.

the Balm Voyage Vol. II Eyeshadow in Willkommen

Full Size: 21.1 g

Full Size Cost: $39.50

Sample Size: 0.57 g

Value: $1.07

This is a little hard to value since it is a full face palette with 8 eyeshadows, lip products, bronzer, blushes, and a highlight. This pan is about half the size of the eyeshadows that come in the palette. I really like the formula on the Balm shadows but this color doesn’t wow me it is a neural brown with shimmer pretty but meh. Swatched Below.

Willkommen and Liquid Coal.

Crown Brush SS035 – Medium Face Contour Brush

Full Size: Yes

Full Size Cost: $6.99

Sample Size: Yes

Value: $6.99

This is a super soft dense synthetic brush. This will be great for a really intense contour or really precise powder application. I bet this would be great for a strong blush look if I liked blush.

Naked Cosmetics HD Finishing Translucent Powder

Full Size: 0.35 oz

Full Size Cost: $14.99

Sample Size: 0.35 oz

Value: $14.99

I am literally overloaded with translucent powders so I wont be opening this for awhile.

Vitamasques Face Food Strawberry Yoghurt Mask

Full Size: 1 mask

Full Size Cost: $3.83

Sample Size: 1 mask

Value: $3.83

Vitamasques Face Food Kiwiw Fruit Yoghurt Mask

Full Size: 1 mask

Full Size Cost: $3.83

Sample Size: 1 mask

Value: $3.83

I haven’t tried either of these yet but when my skin next needs some soothing these creamy masks will be the first ones I reach for.

We have a cute collaboration this month Ipsy x Gudetama

The lazy egg has really been gaining popularity lately, he is really cute.

This bag is so cute I mean look at his butt lol. This bag reeks of chemicals though like very heavily it is really gross and strong and gives me a headache even after letting it air out for 2 days it is still strong you can smell it from 2 feet away.

TonyMoly I’m Real Skin Purifying Green Tea Sheet Mask

Full Size: 1 mask

Full Size Cost: $3

Sample Size: 1 mask

Value: $3

This was very sticky and drippy It was dripping all over for the half hour I was wearing it. It did not have a strong smell which I appreciate. This left my face feeling tacky. This could maybe be nice before putting on foundation as it could help the foundation stick. This did make my skin look a little more even but the sticky shiny look it left behind was not flattering. I will probably buy one of these masks again.

TonyMoly I’m Real Luminating Lotus Sheet Mask

Full Size: 1 mask

Full Size Cost: $3

Sample Size: 1 mask

Value: $3

I have not tried this yet I don’t generally go for illuminating masks. If my skin is feeling dull I will try it.

Hempz Herbal Lip Balm

Full Size: 14 g

Full Size Cost: $2.99

Sample Size: 14 g

Value: $2.99

This also sells for $9 at Ulta I think that is insane for this product. I would not pay that much for this. This is a really thick balm that is fairly gloss like. It is not sticky though but just so thick this is definitely a night time balm for me. It has a sweet citrusy scent/flavor but it is off in some way that I can’t put my finger on.

Trèstique Mini Concealer Crayon in Bisque

Full Size: 1.8 g

Full Size Cost: $26

Sample Size: 0.6 g ?

Value: $8.67 ?

I’m guessing that this is about 1/3 of the size of the full product even if it is a little bigger, which I suspect, the full size comes with a blender sponge tip so I’m deducting a bit for that as well.  This is actually a fairly spot on match which is amazing seeing as they only have 3 colors. It is really creamy with good coverage I’m into it. Swatched Below.

Tarte Park Ave Princess Amazonian Clay Waterproof Bronzer

Full Size: 9 g

Full Size Cost: $30

Sample Size: 3 g

Value: $10

Park Ave Princess is always a hit or miss color for me in some verisons of the product Tarte comes out with this pulls so oompa loompa orange on me and other formulations its nice. This one is ok on me and I’m super interested in seeing if this is actually waterproof. This is too warm to contour though Tarte always claims this shade is a contour shade to me it never is. Swatched Below.

Ciaté London Wonderwand in Black

Full Size: 0.04 oz

Full Size Cost: $18

Sample Size: 0.028

Value: $12.60

I was shocked that this wasn’t full sized. So this is supposed to be a khol liner but it is not as soft as a khol liner should be it is also not as richly pigmented black as it should be. There is a brush on the end to smoke it out but the liner does not budge. The brush is actually super soft and nice. The nicest part of this product I will probably end up keeping this for the brush when it is user up. Swatched Below.

You can see where I tried to smudge out the liner and it wasn’t keen on budging. The concealer is the first swatch but it matches so well that it is hard to see.

Another low value for for Ipsy but I am happier with this month then last month’s I will use both sheet masks, the bronzer, concealer and lip balm. The only totally meh product for me was the liner.

This was a very disappointing Ipsy month for me and very pink.

When I initially saw this bag online I did not like it but in person it is much cuter. It is a comic book style and a nice canvas pouch I really like it.

NYX Whipped Lip & Cheek Soufflé in Plush

Full Size: 8 ml

Full Size Cost: $4.20

Sample Size: 8 ml

Value: $4.20

I do not like the Nyx Whipped formula it is too moussey and does not dry down it just slides every where I am not a fan. The colors are also all so girly and light they are not my style. Plush is a very soft pink color which was pretty much the theme of this bag this month. Pink being my least favorite makeup color. Swatched Below.

Luna by Luna Cosmetics Eyeshadow in Jace

Full Size: 1.5 g

Full Size Cost: $15

Sample Size: 1.5 g

Value: $15

A pink eyeshadow this builds well and is very soft but is not a color that would look good or show up well on me so this is getting passed on to a friend. Swatched Below.

Make Up For Ever Aqua XL Eye Pencil in M-10

Full Size: 1.2 g

Full Size Cost: $21

Sample Size: 0.8 g

Value: $14

This is a great black eyeliner I do have like two other samples of this though it is a pretty common sample to get. It is very matte, very black and very long wearing everything you want in an eyeliner. Swatched Below.

Eyeliner, Eyeshadow, Nyx Whipped.

Kokie Cosmetics Nail Polish in Gone Rio

Full Size: 0.54 oz

Full Size Cost: $4.98

Sample Size: 0.54 oz

Value: $4.98

This is a pinky coral nail polish which is great for the summer. I don’t ever paint my nails so this is also getting passed on to a friend. The bottle is adorable though I love the cap.

Biorepublic Green Tea Detox Sheet Mask

Full Size: 3 mask

Full Size Cost: $7.49

Sample Size: 1 mask

Value: $2.50

I love a good sheet mask so this is a welcome addition. I use sheet masks much more in the summer so this is a great time to get one.

Biorepublic Aloe Rescue Sheet Mask

Full Size: 3 mask

Full Size Cost: $7.49

Sample Size: 1 mask

Value: $2.50

I don’t really like aloe masks but I will use it all the same if my skin is ever feeling irritated.

Not the best value this month and not the greatest color selection for me. You get to review all your items and your bag every month and this was the lowest rating I have ever given an Ipsy bag. Even though I still got my money’s worth with the sheet masks and the eyelinerI am still not happy with this month.
