I just really hate this months bag it is so ugly and I don’t like the weird rubber that it is made of and it feels in bad taste since no one can actually go anywhere.

Rated Green Cold Brew Rosemary Balancing Scalp Pack with Charcoal

Full Size: 50 ml

Full Size Cost: $4

Sample Size: 50 ml

Value: $4

This was my choice item I love a rosemary hair product in my mind they are going to help my hair grow. I like that this is resealable because this is definitely more then one use, I hate that its a packet and not a jar or tube though. Meh.

Hempz Citrine Crystal & Quartz Herbal Body Moisturizer

Full Size: 66 ml

Full Size Cost: $7.99

Sample Size: 66 ml

Value: $7.99

I like Hempz lotions they usually smell really god and feel really lux but they are very thick and heavy on the skin and this is no different. This has like not scent description and the name of the scent are things that don’t smell like anything so that’s cool. I found this to smell alot like there orginal scent but with like a hint of the sweetness. I like it.

Firma 201 Flat Oval Blending Brush

Full Size: Yes

Full Size Cost: $12.99

Typically I don’t love Firma brushes they are not the greates feeling quality wise but this is softer and feels better constructed then usual. I love getting brushes even if they are crappy because they are great for costume looks and paints and glue that I don’t want ruining my good brushes.

Naked Cosmetics Naturally Nude NN-03 Loose Pigment

Full Size: 1.5 g

Full Size Cost: $14.99

Sample Size: 1.5 g

Value: $14.99

I would never pay $15 for a nude pigment even a pretty one like this. I have a few of their pigments I just don’t vibe with the neutral colors they send. This also claims to be great for bronzer and anything you want but it has so much shimmer this would look insane as a bronzer. Swatched Below.

The Balm Will Powder Blush in Perseverance

Full Size: 10 g 4 shades x 2.5 g

Full Size Cost: $25

Sample Size: 2.2 g

Value: $5.50

Normally I would be super annoyed to get blush but this is such a pretty peachy orange shade that is so my vibe and I love The Balm and their packaging is just the best. This is really so pretty and smooth there is alot of shimmer but I still think I love it despite that. Swatched Below.

A surprisingly good month for me. Pretty shocked since it included a blush and a nude pigment.

Royal and Langnickel Moda Angled Shader Brush

Full Size: Yes

Full Size Cost: $5

I absolutely love Royal and Langnickel brushes and the MODA line is super cute and very soft. Also very dense. This brush in orange is part of a set but it comes in other colors individually. This is really god for packing on color or even for blending in concealer or bases.

Suntique I’m Pure Perfect Cica SPF 50

Full Size: 50 ml

Full Size Cost: $24

Sample Size: 15 ml

Value: $7.20

This was my choice for the month I have always heard good things about Asian sunscreens and I wanted to try one since I am super sensitive to sunscreen and most give me allergic reactions or break outs. This seems a bit thick but I won’t really know until I can wear it out in the sun which isn’t really possible right now.

Dr. Botanicals Cocoa & Coconut Superfood Reviving Hydrating Mask

Full Size: 30 ml

Full Size Cost: $12.99

Sample Size: 30 ml

Value: $12.99

This is so tiny for a full size. I don’t know if I will end up keeping this as I don’t really need a hydrating face mask but it is always nice to get a full size. I bet it smells good considering there is cocoa and coconut in it.

Ciate Wonderwand Mascara in Black Magic

Full Size: 9.1 g

Full Size Cost: $22

Sample Size: ?

Value: ?

The size isn’t listed on the packaging so I have no idea how big this is. I know I have gotten more then one of these before but I can’t remember what I think of it. I love getting these travel size mascaras I use them all the time. Not just for travel I feel like they get used up faster so they stay more sanitary.

Real Her Moisturizing Lipstick in Girlpower Deep Mauve

Full Size: 3.5 g

Full Size Cost: $18

Sample Size: 2 g

Value: $10.29

My problem with Real Her is that the shades are never accurate to what they say they are this isn’t a deep mauve its a very pinky shade. This is also ultra creamy the kind that slides around on your lips I am not a huge fan.

Better bag then last month but still not that that great it is always a good month when I get a brush from a brand I like though.

I wasn’t expecting my may bag so quickly but the month I wasn’t excited for and it’s the one that comes early. The bag is really pretty I like the sherberty sunrise vibes but the bag feels really cheap this month.

F.A.R.A.H. Brushes Large Blender 25EL

Full Size: Yes

Full Size Cost: $10

I always like getting brushes in Ipsy but I don’t love F.A.R.A.H. brushes they always feel and preform at a lesser quality. This one feels better then some others from them I tried and its cute. This is a pretty dense more dome brush then a large blender and isn’t really a shape I use much I can see this getting decluttered in my future.

Benefit Roller Lash

Full Size: 8.5 g

Full Size Cost: $25

Sample Size: 3 g

Value: $8.82

I remember not liking Roller Lash but I think I want to give it another shot and see how I go with it. Not that my mascara is getting that much use right now.

Pure Brazilian Daily Anti-Frizz Serum

Full Size: 13.5 oz

Full Size Cost: $30

Sample Size: 1 oz

Value: $2.22

I tried a hair mask from them that I didn’t love but I am always here to try other things from a brand just because I didn’t like one products doesn’t mean I won’t like another. I like anti-frizz treatments alot so this will be in use soon as I can go out and need to style my hair again.

Wander Beauty Nude Illusion Liquid Foundation in Light Medium

Full Size: 30 ml

Full Size Cost: $40

Sample Size: 5 ml

Value: $6.67

Ipsy knows how much I don’t like getting foundation but they always send it anyway. Not really happy to have this but eh.

Goldfaden MD Wake Up Call Overnight Regenerative Facial Treatment

Full Size: 50 ml

Full Size Cost: $85

Sample Size: 12 ml

Value: $20.40

This was my choice for the month. I loved the last mask I tried for them it actually worked so I am hoping this works too because of how expensive these products are. Stoked for this it makes the whole bag for me.

Value was really low this month and there was only one product I am really excited about so not really the best month for me which is kinda annoying. With the situation I was hoping for a real like good bag so there was some excitement in my life but oh well.
