This month’s Ipsy bag was much better than last month’s in that everything was in one piece when it got here…!
This month’s theme is “jet-setter” and I think that means all the products are ideal for travel…? Either way, I’m liking everything I got.
Out of the several types of bags available this month (all with different phrases), I’m pretty happy with the one I received – pretty darn cute (and true!).
First product: this bronzer by Pixi by Petra in “Summertime”. This shade is pretty soft, which works best with fair skin like mine. This is also unlike most bronzers I own in that it has a slight gold shimmer to it. This goes on very light and is working well for me as a way to achieve more of a glow than for bronzing. This is pretty when applied over cheekbones for a hint of color.
This BellaPierre eyeliner is actually…a gel! Gel is my favorite formula for eyeliner because it’s easily applied, wears well, and has a very natural look to it. It’s a slight pain to have to use a brush every time though, so this pencil solves that dilemma! This color is a very true black and it wears very well. Because it’s waterproof, this stays put and is best removed with an oil based makeup remover.
This Caviar CC Cream is a product I actually already own, and Im happy to have a replacement! This really does everything it claims AND smells like roses…I love it!
This Detoxifying Citrus C Facial cleanser by Peter Lamas, is a product Im probably going to use on my body instead of my face. It smells nice and has a nice gel formula, but I find that products that claim to “detoxify” tend to do just that, and bring problems to the surface to be dealt with. For some this is great, but for me, I feel more confident just leaving those blemishes under the surface instead of inviting them up to everyone’s attention!
Lastly, this Ozone 24/7 Glide-On Lip Pencil to prime glosses (which I also received samples of in “Failbait”, a plumy rose, and “Bittersweet”, a bright purple that reminds me of “Pure Heroine” from MAC). This pencil is creamy and clear, and I plan to use it with all glosses. I have high hopes for all three!
