Because I am not always a patient person, I could not resist searching all over the internet for product spoilers, and had an idea of most of the things that could come in the bag. While I was hesitant at first and thought I was going to be disappointed, Ipsy truly proved me wrong. I am IN LOVE with my April bag! My profile quiz matched me up with products that I am really excited to experiment with and get to use for the future. This month's theme was "Beauty Rocks," and all of the things you get are supposed to help you create a rockstar look.
Often I have seen blog posts about the Ipsy makeup bags and they are often really cute. I like this one, but this is probably my least favorite part of this month's bag. I won't say that it doesn't go really great with the theme however, because the record on a turntable is a really good idea!
I got three products to create an eye look. The first was an Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencil in Black Velvet. This was the product that everyone was guaranteed in their bag and I was so excited to get it! The Black Velvet eyeliner pencil was just recently released by Urban Decay, along with many other variations of black eyeliner. I cannot wait to put this formula to the true test, and see if it holds up as well as my other 24/7 eyeliners from the brand! I also received Kiss "Looks So Natural"Lashes in Vamp. They seem slightly dramatic, but they are extremely soft and come with a really nice lash glue. I have an event coming up this weekend, and I might just have to give these a go! Additionally, the last eye product is a City Color White Gold Mousse Eyeshadow. Personally, I really like this product. It seems like it is going to have good lasting power, and has a really fluffy texture. I have not used a cream eyeshadow that is as soft as this before, but it seems like it will be really easy to apply and leave great pigmentation throughout the day.
In addition to getting products for the eyes, I have some lip and cheek products as well. For my face, I got a travel size of Benefit's Lollitint, a new product that is raved about among the beauty community! I was really hoping to get this in my bag, and was so happy when I did! If I end up truly liking this, I may even purchase the full size! Finally, I got a Cailyn Tinted Lip Balm in Acid Pink. There were two colors that you could get, and in the beginning I was kind of disappointed that I got Acid Pink. The other color probably would have been more wearable and suited me more, but I think this will give me the push I need to venture out with my lip colors. Hopefully I can work it!
This bag is perfect for me, and made my first experience with Ipsy extremely pleasant. I am so happy that I have enough to create a full makeup look, and I think it will truly rock! (I'm funny, I know.) These products (particularly the lip and cheek colors) are very out of my comfort zone and will certainly help create a great dramatic look. My hesitation about starting a beauty subscription service was not actually getting makeup products to try but instead a lot of skincare, so I am very confident in my choice with this subscription bag. I cannot wait for May to arrive so I can get the next one!
