Well damn Ipsy look at you coming all early for a change. I love when my boxes come early (Side Eye at some other boxes that have been coming late).

For some bizarre reason my computer isn’t letting me edit my pictures from this bag and I’m too busy and tired to fuss with it so sorry.

Had to throw in the adorable new coffee mug I got it came the same day and I am in love its huge and cute and I do like my coffee black like my soul 🙂

I also got 6 products again this month which instantly makes me more excited for my bag.

When I saw previews of this I thought I was going to love it but it actually feels really cheap ad plasticky to me an I do not like it.

Manefit Beauty Planner Sheet Mask in Mugwort Astringent + Pore Care

Full Size: 5 masks

Full Size Cost: $10

Sample Size: 1 mask

Value: $2

This is a sheet mask right up my alley with astringent and pore refining. I am sorta off the sheet mask trend they tend to make me feel cold and I hate feeling cold. But I will try this.

Manefit Beauty Planner Sheet Mask in Lily Whitening + Brightening

Full Size: 5 masks

Full Size Cost: $10

Sample Size: 1 mask

Value: $2

The back of this says it will leave your skin translucent, is that a thing people want? I have never desired to be see through I’m sure it is just a case of bad translation but I got a good laugh out of it. I don’t ever really use whitening sheet masks I just don’t have an attraction to them.

Luxie Brush 207 Medium Angled Shading

Full Size: Yes

Value: $12

I love Luxie brushes and Ipsy does send them out fairly often which is great because they retail for a minimum of the cost of the bag so any month I get one makes the month automatically worth it. This is a fairly large fluffy angled brush but for me it will be perfect for a dramatic crease or for smoking out the outer v. This would also probably be great for nose contour.

Elizabeth Mott Pop! Goes the Shadow in Gunmetal

Full Size: 2 g

Full Size Cost: $12

Sample Size: 0.7 g

Value: $4.20

The packaging of this sample is much cuter then the full size. This is a nice gunmetal color but I do have plenty in my collection this isn’t even worth depotting for me. This is a miss for me. Swatched Below.

Colourpop Lippie Stix Matte X in Glam Bag

Full Size: 1 g

Full Size Cost: $5

Sample Size: 1 g

Value: $5

This is a bright magenta. I don’t wear colors like this but the formula is so creamy and matte that I am tempted to try to wear it. I thought this was going to be an exclusive shade but it is for sale on Colourpop’s website. Swatched Below.

Beauty for Real I-Line in Jade

Full Size: 0.28 g

Full Size Cost: $14

Sample Size: 0.28 g

Value: $14

I love this brand of eyeliner I received a black on awhile ago in an Ipsy bag and loved it to death and now I have this great Jade green. It is so pretty. the I-Line eyeliners are very pigmented and creamy so they apply to my waterline effortlessly and they have really good staying power and nothing stays in my waterline. Only weird part is that these are full size but then say not for retail sale on them just slightly odd. Swatched Below.

Eyeshadow, eyeliner, lippie stix. All nice quality the eye shadow and the lippie stick are just not colors I am into.

Very low value for Ipsy this seems to be becoming a trend. Despite that it is almost four times what you pay for the bag and I got 5 full size items out of 6. The brush and eyeliner are my favorite things in the bag and the lippie stix and eyeshadows are my least favorite.

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.

High valued Ipsy this month and 5 out of 6 items were full sized you really can’t beat that. I am not wowed but anything this month but it is all stuff I will use and enjoy and the value was great this month. My favorite was definitely they brush this month.
