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

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.
