Long time no see I have been away for a good chunk of the month so I haven’t had time to do any reviews. So we are jumping right back into it. I came home to an overwhelming amount of packages that I barely know where to start so I am starting with the smallest bags first and working my way bigger lol.
I was not that happy with this month’s bag so that is really disappointing.
Hempz Triple Moisture Herbal Whipped Body Creme
Full Size: 2.25 g
Full Size Cost: $6.96
Sample Size: 2.25 g
Value: $6.96
I have recently fallen in love with Hempz lotion from a tiny sample I got in I think my most recent Walmart box I think that’s where it came from. Either way I love the thick but not greasy texture and the scents are amazing. This is a really nice bright herbally scent I love it so much. And it is a full size travel size so yay. It is $7.50 in stores but on Amazon it is cheaper.
Smashbox Photo Finish Primerizer
Full Size: 30 ml
Full Size Cost: $42
Sample Size: 4 ml
Value: $5.60
This is a deceptively small sample. It looks bigger then the 4 ml that it is. I am sorta not super into this I don’t like moisturizing primers they don’t work that great for my more oily skin. This feels just like a moisturizer and doesn’t have the smoothness or tackiness that a primer needs in my opinion.
Meech and Mia Pressed Eyeshadow in Gunmetal
Full Size: 3 g
Full Size Cost: $11.50
Sample Size: 3 g
Value: $11.50
So this is super weird the package says 3 g but the website says 1.2 g and then it says 1.5 kg neither of which makes no fucking sense. I am going to to go with 3 g since that makes sense. Also I have no desire to own another gunmetally grey eyeshadow shade so I will pass this own it is soft and not patchy but not impressive. Swatched Below.
Nomad Cosmetics Around-the-World Light Infusion Highlighting Blush in Positano Sunrise
Full Size: 10 g
Full Size Cost: $17
Sample Size: 1.5 g
Value: $2.55
This is so freaking soft like the design stamped in it wore off from one swatch that is how soft it feels. I am going to try it as an eyeshadow but I don’t know I just don’t wear blush and Ipsy knows that. Swatched Below.
Trestique Lip Glaze in Mumbai Magenta
Full Size: 0.8 g + 1 g of primer
Full Size Cost: $25
Sample Size: 0.7 g
Value: $9.72
This is pretty much a thick glossy lipstick which I am not into and it is very pink. I don’t do pink lips. Good sized product though it is almost the full size of the lipstick that comes in the full size set. Swatched Below.
Pretty disappointing month this bag seemed not meant for me at all. And a super low value really not happy at all.
