I wasn’t expecting my may bag so quickly but the month I wasn’t excited for and it’s the one that comes early. The bag is really pretty I like the sherberty sunrise vibes but the bag feels really cheap this month.

F.A.R.A.H. Brushes Large Blender 25EL

Full Size: Yes

Full Size Cost: $10

I always like getting brushes in Ipsy but I don’t love F.A.R.A.H. brushes they always feel and preform at a lesser quality. This one feels better then some others from them I tried and its cute. This is a pretty dense more dome brush then a large blender and isn’t really a shape I use much I can see this getting decluttered in my future.

Benefit Roller Lash

Full Size: 8.5 g

Full Size Cost: $25

Sample Size: 3 g

Value: $8.82

I remember not liking Roller Lash but I think I want to give it another shot and see how I go with it. Not that my mascara is getting that much use right now.

Pure Brazilian Daily Anti-Frizz Serum

Full Size: 13.5 oz

Full Size Cost: $30

Sample Size: 1 oz

Value: $2.22

I tried a hair mask from them that I didn’t love but I am always here to try other things from a brand just because I didn’t like one products doesn’t mean I won’t like another. I like anti-frizz treatments alot so this will be in use soon as I can go out and need to style my hair again.

Wander Beauty Nude Illusion Liquid Foundation in Light Medium

Full Size: 30 ml

Full Size Cost: $40

Sample Size: 5 ml

Value: $6.67

Ipsy knows how much I don’t like getting foundation but they always send it anyway. Not really happy to have this but eh.

Goldfaden MD Wake Up Call Overnight Regenerative Facial Treatment

Full Size: 50 ml

Full Size Cost: $85

Sample Size: 12 ml

Value: $20.40

This was my choice for the month. I loved the last mask I tried for them it actually worked so I am hoping this works too because of how expensive these products are. Stoked for this it makes the whole bag for me.

---

Value was really low this month and there was only one product I am really excited about so not really the best month for me which is kinda annoying. With the situation I was hoping for a real like good bag so there was some excitement in my life but oh well.

I was surprised this showed up so early this month with everything going on I am really not sure if or when anything will be showing up.

The bag is very springy and the pull is made of wood which is really cute.

Space Case Bronzer in Fakecation On Mars

Full Size: 3.5 g

Full Size Cost: $9

Sample Size: 2.5 g

Value: $6.43

So Space Case doesn’t have any bronzers on their site but all their face products are the same weight and price so I based it off of the blushes. This is a really smooth bronzer but the color is just really weird. It is very warm and very orange. I don’t know that this will work for me but the packaging is so cute that I want to try.

Christophe Robin Cleansing Purifying Scrub with Salt

Full Size: 246 ml

Full Size Cost: $53

Sample Size: 40 ml

Value: $8.62

So this will be my third jar of this product. This is like a two or three times a year product for me because I have dry hair and don’t use alot of styling products so I don’t get so much build up on my scalp. This will scrub your scalp and get it super like actually squeaky clean. It is very drying to your hair though like I am very careful to make sure it only stays on my roots and scalp and doesn’t get on the rest of my hair. This jar at this size legit last me a year because I need it so infrequently. Really good product and it smells nice and salty and beachy too.

Helios Luminor Nail Polish in Livin’ Lovely

Full Size: 15 ml

Full Size Cost: $12.50

Sample Size: 15 ml

Value: $12.50

I don’t ever wear nail polish but this is a super pretty dusty mauve that I will probably throw on my toys once and then it will sit in my dark cabinet for the rest of its life with the rest of the polish I own and don’t use lol.

Sugar Wingman Waterproof Microliner in 01 I’ll Be Black

Full Size: 0.55 ml ?

Full Size Cost: $15.99

Sample Size: 1.6 ml

Value: $15.99 ?

I have alot of confusion with this product. It is sold out and has a different name on the website so I don’t know if that is old packaging or this is old packaging. It also says that the full size is 0.55 ml (which is tiny) and this says it contains 1.6 ml, so I am guessing that is a typo and that this is a full size. I like Sugar eyeliners but I have too many open right now just to swatch a black liner.

Glossier Priming Rich Moisturizer

Full Size: 50 ml

Full Size Cost: $35

Sample Size: 15 ml

Value: $10.50

This is the item I chose this month, Glossier is a brand I always want to try but never want to take the risk in purchasing. This feels so luxurious on my skin. It is so smooth and feels so nice. It is scented though which may bother some people but it is a really clean scent that I happen to like. This is a really thick smooth primer and moisturizer combined. The most exciting thing in this months bag.

---

Other then the Glossier and the scrub the bag was just ok for me this month. But it was nice to have mail despite all that is going on.

This was a big “celebration” month in honor of the 100th Ipsy bag. So everyone got 6 items as well as a deal on Add-Ons. Add-ons usually start at $3 dollars but we got a 42 off discount on add-ons so for the first time ever I did get an add-on for an additional $1.07 which I’ll talk about later in this post. Other then that which pretty much saved the month for me it was a pretty meh bag.

Caolion Blackhead O2 Bubble Pore Pack

Full Size: 50 g

Full Size Cost: $14.49

Sample Size: 15 g

Value: $4.35

I don’t love these bubbling masks I feel like they are alot of gimmick, but they are super fun so I will use it.

Girlactik Precise Eyeliner Marker

Full Size: 1.2 ml

Full Size Cost: $20

Sample Size: 1.2 ml

Value: $20

I have gotten this before I can’t remember if it was from Ipsy or from Macy’s it is a fine liner nothing that amazing nothing that terrible. I have alot of open liners so I am not opening this just to swatch it we all know what a black liquid liner looks like.

Honey Jarret Clean Whip Cleanser

Full Size: 100 g

Full Size Cost: $18

Sample Size: 30 g

Value: $5.40

I have never heard of this brand but it seems pretty affordable. This is supposed to be really cleansing and get all the dirt and makeup out of your pores so I am wondering if it is going to also be really stripping.

Grace & Stella Lavender Lotion

Full Size: 473 ml

Full Size Cost: $15

Sample Size: 30 ml

Value: $0.95

I don’t love this it isn’t the sweet lavender scent that I prefer. It is also really greasy I am not the biggest fan.

Wander Beauty Wandress Eyeshadow in Blossom

Full Size: 6 shades x 1.6 g Each

Full Size Cost: $25

Sample Size: 1.4 g

Value: $3.65

This to me looks like and feels like a highlighter it is a pretty pink shifting gold shade very shimmery but not a ton of base color. The whole palette it comes in also sorta looks like a highlighter palette to me and that is how I plan to use this up. It is really pretty and smooth though I don’t hate it.

Complex Culture All Over Shadow Brush

Full Size: Yes

Full Size Cost: $18

I love these brushes they are so high quality so soft they blend beautifully. I just love them this is the third I think I have gotten from Ipsy. One was also part of the add-ons so I got the precision eyelid as an add-on for a dollar and am super happy to have these two brushes. They are so so nice. I love them.

---

Not my favorite month but the two brushes have me super super happy.
