This month's ipsy came in the cutest bag with items that spoke SUMMER. A complete look for that al naturale glow-up. ❤

This month I received:

Pacifica

Island Life Eyeshadow Palette

Value: approx $12 (ipsy Exclusive)

Comment: The shadows are shimmery (no mattes) and the colors are gorgeous. Application comes on the sheer side; for color pigmentation, I recommend a few spritz of setting spray or water on your brush. If you're using your fingers, wet your index finger and pat all over your lids for a natural shimmer (smokey with the dark brown) look. Linked above is a palette with similar colors.

Royal & Langnickel MODA™

Royal & Langnickel Precision Angled Brush

Value: approx $6.99

Comment: Bristles are soft, but I personally feel the size of the brush limits its use. The brush is fairly small. Contouring the hallows of your cheeks and application of blush would be its best use. Linked above is a slightly bigger version of the brush because this brush is not offered on the website.

Mellow Cosmetics

Creamy Matte Lipstick

Value: $13 (FULL SIZE)

Comment: A gorgeous creamy lipstick with great pigmentation. This feels like a tinted lip balm.

Manna Kadar Cosmetics

Radiance Split Pan Bronzer and Highlighter Duo

Value: $21 (FULL SIZE)

Comment: The highlighter gives a healthy and natural looking glow; not at all blinding. As for the bronzer, I'm not fond of the shimmer used as a bronzer and the shade is also a bit too light for my skin. Personally, I prefer using both as eyeshadows.

PEEK Beauty

metalimatte in A-BOO

Value: $22 (FULL SIZE)

Comment: The product is listed as applies like cream and dries matte, (the description said it would dry like a powder) ease of use with a bare face, or face that's not powdered. I'm not a blush fan, so as a balm, it's more on the sticky side.

Total Value (Calculated based on ounces) (approximate): $74.99

This month's bag did not contain anything I really loved besides the bag. I really liked the lipstick, but not enough to repurchase. But if you love taking a gamble with new products, I highly suggest trying ipsy if you are not already subscribed. Click here to start!

Thanks so much for reading!

This month's IPSY is absolutely amazing. As I was viewing the possible options every IPSY subscriber may receive, I believe every item would be worth the $10. My first reaction to my bag was "OMG SO CUTE!!!"I love the tie dye because thoughts of summer flash into my mind, but this is an April bag, then I thought: April, showers, hippy, flowers, vibrant colors! Ugh love it ❤.

This month I received:

em Cosemetics

the great cover up ultimate concealer

Value: $17 (FULL SIZE)

Comment: Totally worth it! I wanted to try em for the longest time and it happened! The concealer is amazing quality; the formula was very light and effective for everyday use.

tarte cosmetics

LipSurgence™lip creme in wonder

Value: $12

Comment: I actually own another shade of tarte's lip creme. I love them so much because the formula is extremely creamy and does not dry my lips. For longer wear, I do recommend lining your lips entirely with a lip liner before application. Not only does this prolong wear, but the color is more vibrant.

L.A.B² - Live and Breathe Beauty

Just Blending in Brush

Value: $6.99

Comment: I really wanted to purchase a blending brush, but before I had the chance to purchase it, I received this in my bag. My first impression was, "wow this brush is so soft." It does take me awhile for me to blend, but I'm pretty satisfied with this brush and is eager to try other blending brushes.

Briogeo

Don't Despair, Repair! Gel to Oil Overnight Repair Treatment

Value: $14.237

Comment: For hair products, I use it's a 10 after I wash my hair or a dime size of Argan oil for flyaways or slightly dry/rough hair. This product contains a mixture of a ton of oils such as coconut oil, olive oil, grape seed oil, argan oil... several fruit oils. The hair oil is dense, but contains a lot of nutrients for 'bad' hair. Personally, I do not need to use this product [often], but the formula is great for major hair damage.

REN Skincare

Evercalm Global Protection Day Cream
Value: $33.333

Comment: Extremely impressed! I've heard of this brand, and it's a top brand. The formula is perfect for sensitive skin and has a lotion consistency so slightly thick. As soon as the product is applied, it has a citrus (lemon) fragrance to it and a calming sensation. (Side note: Currently I am visiting an esthetician and is currently focusing on certain products to improve my skin. I've used this product twice.)

Total Value (Calculated based on ounces): $83.56
