Ipsy: April 2014

It's Ipsy time again.

Ipsy is a mere ten dollars a month, and for that ten dollars a month, you get 4-5 products per month, sometime full-size products, other times decent sample sizes to use for your own makeup and beauty enjoyment. 

If you actually spend time reviewing your Ipsy products, you can get points, and when you get enough points, you can use those points to get free items. 

This month's theme was "Beauty Rocks", a theme I high approve of, due to my love for music. Personally, I thought the bag was cute, I like the record on it, and it didn't smell like a warehouse full of swimming pool toys like last month's bag did. 

Moving on to the products:

This product made me squeal in delight. I LOVE ME SOME URBAN DECAY 24/7 EYELINER! I own at least twenty different 24/7 eyeliner pencils. Eyeliner is my biggest addiction, and 24/7 is my go-to brand. 

My color was "black velvet." It's a generous sample size, worth about $10.00.

This is it next to my normal sized eyeliner pencil in Invasion, so see, the sample size is about 1/2 of the full-size, and the full-size is $20.00, so that's why I'm valuing the sample at $10.00, there's the value of my whole bag right there.

Kiss "Looks So Natural" lashes in Shy, worth $2.00. Meh. I'll never wear false lashes. They're not my thing, at all.

Cover FX Primer, worth $19.00. I got that value because full size is 1 oz, and this is 0.5 oz, and full size costs $38.00, which makes this size worth half of full-size. I love division.

I don't really use primer, mainly because I don't wear makeup on my face other than eye makeup because I have very sensitive skin. But I do like that this advertises itself as an anti-acne treatment. 

City Color mousse eyeshadow in white-gold, worth about $2.00, based on other products on their horrible website.

 I do really like the color. You can't really see it in the swatch, but it's a very nice white color with a gold shimmer, and it'll make a nice base color, or highlight color.

Cailyn Tinted Lip Balm in Apple Pink, worth full-size, worth $19.00. 

Not a huge lip color fan, but if I was going to wear lip color I do like this color. It has a nice tint, yet it also sort of looks like a more natural color than other colors. 

Total Value: $52.00

Bipolar Kitty approves.

Honestly, I was very happy with this month's Ipsy bag. I had a product that I'll definitely use [yay black eyeliner], and some products that I may use depending on circumstances. The only thing I really didn't like was the eyelashes. 

Definitely one of my best valued bags since I've joined Ipsy.

So, for ten dollars a month, and if you like the aspect of surprise, Ipsy might be the subscription for you :)
