May Ipsy Glam Bag Review!


Hello Everyone!
This months Ipsy Glam Bag is in and it is cute! I love the bag and how it is shaped like an envelope. This month I received:
  • Aurora Gel Effect Nail Lacquer in Safety Orange
  • em Michele Phan Makeup Mood Enhancer
  • epice Hydrating Mask
  • Pacifica Natural Mineral Coconut Eye Shadow Trio
  • Glamor Dolls Blending Brush
  • it Cosmetics No Tug Waterproof Eyeliner
Aurora Gel Effect Nail Lacquer in Safety Orange
First off, im not sure why im receiving nail polish since I don't have it as a product I want to receive. Anyways, the nail polish is nice for the summer, it will look good with a tan I think. Formula wise, I find it chips really easily, no where near as good as a gel mani.

em Michele Phan Makeup Mood Enhancer

I was really excited to receive this product as Michele is the founder of Ipsy. The formula is great but im not a fan of the color. It is like a metallic purple kind of highlight. I think I will try mixing it in with my foundation to see what that looks like. Otherwise, I don't see myself using this on my face much. I have been playing around with different highlighters lately, trying to find my perfect shade. While I like the Pixi by Petra one I received a couple of months ago, I don't think a golden glow is right for my skin. I am really liking the Sephora Collection Radiant Luminizing Drops in Morning Light - champagne. So I guess my skin looks best with a peachy highlighter. I really like liquid highlight because it melds into the foundation. I would also like to try to find a powder to put on top since any other powder applied on top that isn't a highlighting powder cancels the highlight right out.

epice Hydrating Mask
This mask goes on easy, smells nice and leaves your skin soft and smooth. Is it the best mask I ever tried? No, but not the worst either.

Pacifica Natural Mineral Coconut Eye Shadow Trio
This is the second Pacifica product I have received and I love it. The colors are great for summer, they give a really nice natural look. I like that it is made with coconut and is cruelty free.

Glamor Dolls Blending Brush

I haven't tried this brush out yet, just because when I received it I felt it was so immature looking. I don't want my brushes to have whales all over them. A friend has told me that it works really well and is super soft so I guess ill give it a whirl.

it Cosmetics No Tug Waterproof Eyeliner
This eyeliner glides on smoothly to avoid tugging of the gentle eye area. The only thing I don't like about it is that it is not continuously sharp. This product would have been better with a smaller tip.

Overall, this months bag was more misses than hits for me but its always fun to try new products out! Hoping that next month will have a bunch of winners in it for me.
