Ipsy - April 2014


Hooray, Ipsy is here! Lately my glam bag has been arriving way sooner than my Birchbox so it was no surprise when it showed up on Friday. The cosmetic bag is definitely interesting this month. It's more of a square shape and has the theme written on it. This month's theme is "Beauty Rocks". Woo!


This month's products were pretty plain to me. I do like the products but I'm just not so excited about any of them. This month I received over $45 worth of products which is still great considering that a subscription only costs $10. Three of the products were full sized so I know I'll have enough to last.


Starlooks Luscious Longwear Lip Pencil in Naked
Urban Decay 24/7 Velvet Glide-On Eye Pencil (Travel Size)
Elizabeth Mott pop! goes the shadow in Champagne
dr. brandt microdermabrasion (sample)
Coastal Scents Medium Shadow Brush

I've gotta say that overall I was super excited to try the Urban Decay eyeliner. I really wished it was full sized because eyeliners are my favorite (besides mascara) when it comes to makeup. All of the brands were new to me this month (besides Starlooks) so it was great to see a new variety in my glam bag. 

I'm not much of a lip pencil kind of gal. I've honestly never tried one and I doubt I will. Gladly it's full sized so maybe I can pass it on. The eyeshadow was great I just really wish it was a different color. I think I own way too many "Champagne" colors in my makeup bag (and I also believe most of them came from Ipsy). I already own an eyeshadow brush that is literally identical to the one I received so I believe I'll also pass it on. Lastly I've always wanted to try dr. brandt's skin products from reviews I've overheard so I'll put it to use for sure. 

The value is always outstanding when it comes to Ipsy and I'm proud to be a glam bag subscriber! I seriously can't wait until next month. I wonder if my Birchbox can top this. :)

xox.
