Royal and Langnickel Moda Pro BMX-465 Brush

Full Size: Yes

Full Size Cost: $5.99

I love Royal and Langnickel Brushes and I especially love the Moda Pro line they are so dense and soft and well made but so affordable. I love the weight of these brushes and the soft touch quilted pattern on the handle. This is the perfect multiuse brush too this is great for a nose contour, for the crease or the outer v or for adding a spotlight area to your highlight. I am in love.

Sand & Sky Australian Pink Clay Pore Refining Mask

Full Size: 60 g

Full Size Cost: $49

Sample Size: 13 g

Value: $10.62

I have been seeing this pop up and it has looked really interesting. My skin is not in need of this at moment too bad this bag didn’t come like too weeks ago. Give it like three weeks and I’ll need this again lol.

Answer From Luminous Collagen Eye Cream

Full Size:

Full Size Cost: $

Sample Size: 8 ml

Value: $

This product is apparently coming soon? I don’t know their website is basically a non functional splash page with a non working count down clock. So I know nothing about this brand or cream. It felt nice under my eyes and made my eyes feel less dry and puffy so that’s good.

Estate Dew Me Baked Highlight Powder in Pearl

Full Size: 3.2 g

Full Size Cost: $10

Sample Size: 3.2 g

Value: $10

Normally I don’t like baked products but this is gorgeous it is so smooth and reflective. It isn’t super pigmented but it works with the dew reflective vibe that it has going on it has like a very very soft ballet pink undertone. I really like it and ow definitely want to check out more from this brand. It has been a long time since Ipsy has sent me an indie product that made me really interested in trying more from a company. Swatched Below.

IBY Beauty Lush Eyeshadow in Get Soaked

Full Size: 1.5 g x 12

Full Size Cost: $20

Sample Size: 1.5 g

Value: $1.67

This is weird so they don’t sell this formula in single shadows only in palettes but this is the size as the shadow in the palette. This is a really pretty like pretty and it feels like silk on my skin like it is so pigmented in a lush feeling I love it I really like the palette it comes in too so I may need this in my future. The one thing with this shadow that I love but others might not this really sticks where you put it down so it is not the easiest to like blow out and blend for a softer look. Swatched Below.

I was really really happy with this month’s bag. It is has been a really long time since I got products from brands that made me really excited to look at more of their stuff. And I got a brush from a line I love. So I couldn’t be happier

So Ipsy has switched this up a bit it seems we got a like pamphlet with information about all the products in the bag which is a new added touch. I like it much better then the usual throw away waste of paper card they would normally stick in.

This month’s bag is a linen/seersucker blue striped bag with a coral trim it is really cute but very spring/summer not very fit for this time of year it is an odd choice.

SL Miss Glam SB68 Eye Brush

Full Size: 6 Brush Set

Full Size Cost: $39

Sample Size: 1 Brush

Value: $6.50

Ipsy claims that this is an SB brush but it definitely is not. This is from the SS Silver Glitter Eye Set so I linked to that. The SB set has a different color handle and brush hairs. Anyway this is a really pretty brush I love the clear glittered filled handle. I like the other SL Miss Glam brushes I have tried so happy to have this one.

Illamasqua Colouring Pencil Lip Crayon in Lust

Full Size: 1.4 g

Full Size Cost: $17.41

Sample Size: 1.4 g

Value: $17.41

I am always so keen to to try Illamasqua but buying them seems so inaccessible because they are kinda pricey and only can buy them online. I don’t really use lip liners but this is a pretty color that fits well in my lip collection. This is a very soft formula so I don’t know that this will do alot to help keep lipstick from bleeding or to make it last.

Pretty Berry Pink Color

VDL Lumilayer Primer

Full Size: 30 ml

Full Size Cost: $18.36

Sample Size: 5 ml

Value: $3.06

This is supposed to be glowy, blurring and keep oil at bay. That seems like alot of promises to live up to me. I have so many freaking primers and they take so long to get through that I will probably save this for awhile. This is a Korean product so the price fluctuates like crazy.

Yensa Pumpkin Turmeric 2 in 1 Radiance Polishing Mask

Full Size: 15 ml

Full Size Cost: $20

Sample Size: 15 ml

Value: $20

I love masks and I love interesting ones like this so I am excited that I got a full travel size. It is supposed to have 8 orange colored ingredients so I hope this doesn’t turn my face orange.

Alterna Caviar Anti-Aging Replenishing Moisture CC Cream

Full Size: 100 ml

Full Size Cost:$29

Sample Size: 25 ml

Value: $7.25

I like the way Alterna haircare smells but it never works that well for my hair it is very very heavy and weighs my hair down making it look kinda limp and greasy.

This is a weird bad it is alot of stuff I don’t need but all stuff that is really cool that I’m interested in. Minus the brush I always want and use those.

The tassel on this month’s bag feels really well made but the bag feels super cheap. this is definitely one for the yard sale bin. I feel like 2 years ago the bags were so much cuter and better then they are now. And we all got 6 items this month which is a great holiday bonus!

Coco & Eve Like a Virgin Hair Coconut & Fig Masque

Full Size: 212 ml

Full Size Cost:$50

Sample Size: 38 ml

Value: $8.96

So I was really excited for this because it smells good and is a good size but it has some reviews that make it seem really sketchy. It is really pricey for a hair mask that just has average ingredients. I will try it out but not something I would ever buy even if I like it.

First Aid Beauty Facial Radiance Pads

Full Size: 60 pads

Full Size Cost: $30

Sample Size: 10 pad

Value: $5

These are ok but nothing special I do want to try the acne one that they make but they are even more expensive then this one.

Luxie 243 Precision Blending Brush

Full Size: Yes

Full Size Cost:$12

I love Luxie brushes they are so so soft. I don’t really use these pointed type brushes often but I am always happy to add more Luxie brushes to my brush collection.

F.A.R.A.H. Tapered Blending Brush 35E

Full Size: Yes

Full Size Cost:$10

I can’t find this handle style so I linked to another version of this same brush. I love how this handle has the ergonomic grips. It it s bit stiff and scratchy but that makes it really good for blending. I love that I got two brushes this month.

Ciate Glitter Flip in Infamous

Full Size: 3 ml

Full Size Cost: $11

Sample Size: 1.5 ml

Value: $5.50

I have a few of these and they are so fun. Not the most comfortable but super fun and looks very cool in pictures. They are on sale for $11 right not I don’t know if that is just a sale or if they are being discontinued but either way these are very fun.

If you don’t know these go on matte and then you let them dry a little and rub your lips together and it activates all this glitter to come out. I tried to show it in the swatched but it looks so much better on your lips. Swatched Below.

Pacifica Rainbow Crystals Liquid Mineral Strobe in Unicorn

Full Size: 4 g

Full Size Cost: $13

Sample Size: 2 g

Value: $6.50

This has such stunning packaging I love it with the holographic rainbow effect and all the facets to make it look like crystals. This is one of those use anywhere strobing highlighters it has a white base with a pink shift. It is really pretty. Swatched Below.

I really like this month’s bag I really got lucky this month with Sephora and Ipsy. My favorites are definitely the two brushes I love getting brushes in subscriptions.
