What I got:
- Epice Hydrating Mask
- Bellapierre Gel Lip Liner in Nude
- Smashbox X-rated Mascara
- Peek Natural Plumping Lip Balm
- Pacifica Coconut Eye Shadow Trio in Skinny Dip, Crush, & Lovely
To be honest I’m not very excited for these items. I love the actual bag. It’s SUPER adorable (kinda wish I had gotten the blue one, but it’s okay). The products are just meh. I can’t use non-waterproof mascara because my lashes will not stay curled with reg mascara (I’ve tried EVERY type of curling mascara, they just don’t work). I don’t really use lip liners (except for lip art), and I don’t do lip plumpers because my lips are pretty full and I’m not about to go full Goldie Hawn in First Wives Club. The Pacifica Eye Trio is pretty cute and the colors look pretty wearable, and I’m always looking for a hydrating mask, so I guess it wasn’t a total bust.
Here’s swatches of the eyeshadows below:
Pigmentation is only okay. As you can see the palest shade is barely visible on my arm, but the colors are definitely nice and neutral enough to work for everyone.
I’m really sad to say this is my last Ipsy bag for awhile. I just have WAY too many samples I still need to make my way through, and I’ve collected so many bags I have nowhere to store them. I have LOVED having an IPSY subscriptions and if you’re just getting into makeup or looking to find new brands / products, I highly recommend it.
I worked in retail stores as a rep for fine fragrances and cosmetics for years, I loved getting samples! Have wondered about Ipsy, thanks for this post!
I’m glad you enjoyed it! ❤
