I was so excited when I saw my spoilers. I love the Luxie brushes and have wanted one of the periwinkle ones and I have been dying to try the Caked Lip Fondant.

I wasn’t really feeling the bag this month I actually hate ice cream but the bag is still cute but very childish feeling.

Pūr~lisse BB Tinted Moist Cream in Medium

Full Size: 40 ml

Full Size Cost: $35

Sample Size: 10 ml

Value: $8.75

I unfortunately can’t try this until winter because it is too light for me right now the shade range on this really sucks there are only three shades light, medium and deep. This is too light and a little orange so I don’t know how well this will work out for me. It has spf 30 which is great. Swatched below.

Caked Lip Fondant in Low Key

Full Size: 7 ml

Full Size Cost: $16

Sample Size: 7 ml

Value: $16

Gotta love getting a full size liquid lipstick. I am all about this product right here the packaging is adorable and all donut themed and it smells like a real yummy vanilla icing. Low Key is a beautiful berry shade and it is really comfortable to wear and decently transferproof. All key things I care about in my liquid lipsticks. I was able to eat with this on with minimal wear off and it layered well for touch ups and isn’t extremely drying. These are great every one should check them out they are very similar to the Lime Crime Velvetines. Swatched below.

Urban Decay Afterglow 8-Hour Powder Highlighter in Sin

Full Size: 0.23 oz

Full Size Cost: $26

Sample Size: 0.08 oz

Value: $9.04

On my face this looked not that great it sat funny and really emphasized texture o my face but it made for a gorgeous shimmery eye shadow. I really like the champagne/gold shimmer of this shade. Swatched below.

Highlighter, Liquid Lipstick, BB cream.

Luxie 660 Precision Foundation Brush

Full Size: Yes

Full Size Cost: $23

Sample Size: Full Size

Value: $23

These brushes are so soft and I love the periwinkle of the Dreamcatcher collection. This is a foundation brush and Luxie says it can be used with liquid or powder foundation I have never tried to use a fluffy brush with liquid foundation I am going to have to test that out now. This is also great for a really subtle highlight as it blends out the highlight quickly and well.

Beauty & Pin-ups Fearless Hair Rescue Masque

Full Size: 30 ml

Full Size Cost: $10

Sample Size: 30 ml

Value: $10

I am excited to try this it should be good for at least 2 or 3 uses. I always love a good damage repairing hair masque. The packaging and the name are completely different from this product to what is shown on the website. The website names and packaging are very cute. I am guessing they have updated their packaging since they provided these products to Ipsy.


This is a great value for Ipsy this month. An I love the lipstick and the brush, on their own are both worth more then the bag so Ipsy is pretty much always a great deal. I am really really pleased with this months bag, Ipsy really is one of my favorite subscriptions.
