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.
