The Box: Ipsy
The Price: $10
The Goods: 4-5 full and deluxe-sample sized beauty products chosen based on your beauty profile.
April's theme was "Beauty Rocks." I would have LOVED the bag if they had left the words off, but it's not bad as it is.
Big Sexy Hair Mini Root Pump: ($6) I have fine hair so I'll take any source of volume I can get. I tend to like Sexy Hair products, if I recall.
Dr. Brandt Microdermabrasion: ($9.75) I've always wanted to try out this line. This exfoliates, polishes, and diminishes fine lines and acne marks. I assume I'll love it since all of the full-size products are pricey.
Urban Decay 24/7 Velvet Glide-On Eye Pencil - Black Velvet: ($15) Urban Decay is, without a doubt, my favorite cosmetics brand. Any time Ipsy sends out an UD product is a win for me.
I drew a line on my hand and rubbed it pretty vigorously with my finger and the sucker didn't budge. If it has this kind of staying power on my lids, I'll be stoked.
Mary Kay At Play Lip Gloss - Teddy Bare: ($10) Apparently this line is Mary Kay's attempt at appealing to a younger demographic. I was not a fan of this gloss. The color was fine but it was suuuuuper sticky. I can't even imagine wearing this out on a windy day. /shudder
Rainbow Honey Nail Polish - Midnight Fountain: ($3.33) Rainbow Honey is another brand I've wanted to try for a while. I'm not crazy about this polish, though. I always have a hard time with chunky glitters and this one seemed to be a bit gloopier than average.
Here's three coats, outdoors. No top coat, because I've somehow lost all of mine. I still have 4 bottles of base coat though. Base coat for daysssss.
Three coats, indoors.
Total Value: $44.08
Overall, I'm pleased with this month. The Urban Decay alone is a winner, plus I got two brands I've always been curious about. The only product that isn't cruelty-free is the Mary Kay gloss, which I wouldn't be using anyway.
