♥ April Ipsy Unboxing + March Review ♥
Ipsy
is a monthly subscription box for beauty/skin/hair products.
Cost:
$10 per month
They
ship to the U.S., and Canada
There is
a wide variety of options for Ipsy bags. You take a quiz when you first sign up
(this can be retaken as many times as you like). This effects what is in your
bag each month.
Each
time you get a bag you have the option of reviewing the items you received.
I've found that this is the best way to effect what you get in your bag each
month. The more reviews you complete the more likely you are to like your bags.
For each
item you review you receive 10 ipsy points. You can spend these points on
rewards that seem to be leftovers from all the bags.

My First Impression:
Hair oil. As I have the oiliest hair ever grown... I wasn't exactly happy about getting this. However, as it says below this is THE original. I'm looking forward to using it to compare it to all of its followers.

My First Impression:
As you can see above it is one of the items that came to me broken. I tried putting the two parts together (there is dried glue in the hole) but it doesn't fit well (the handle rocks back and forth). This makes it ironic considering their website claim below about the brushes being designed/redesigned for maximum precision and control.... I have contacted Ipsy about this problem and they got back to me within 7hrs and sent out some sort of replacement for this item and the other item below that arrived broken.
I want to add that I have THREE other Luxie brushes (the pink above) that are PERFECT without a single issue. These dreamcatcher brushes seem to be from the past holidays and they are unloading them.
Website Claims:
- Silky soft and gentle enough for all skin types
- Each makeup brush is designed, and some redesigned, for maximum precision and control in makeup application.
Features:
-Periwinkle color
-100% Cruelty-free
-100% Vegan
-100% Paraben-free
-Coated with antibacterial solution
-Premium Grade Fibers
Tapered Highlight Brush 522– Redisigned- More Tapered. Great for: Powder/Liquid Highlight, Baking Technique, Undereye Setting Powder, Contour, Lightweight Undereye Concealor
My First Impression:
Bummer. This item came melted into the top of the cap. I will have to scrap it out and see if I can fill a little container or something. Like I said above I contacted Ipsy about this problem and they responded within 7hrs of my email and sent out a replacement with tracking number and separate from my April bag!
I'll post next month my extras!
4 shades: Wonder (poppy), Serene (apricot pink), Illusion (rose berry), Empowered (soft pink)

MARCH IPSY REVIEW
Passed this along to a friend
- Love the color!
- Doesn't get matte enough (more satin than matte)
- Wears well - starts to fade inside lips first but not bad
- Favorite (except now that it is warmer I never feel like wearing this darker color)
- Amazing shade
- No fall out
- Pigmented
- Shimmer
- NEVER use for blush/highlight (weird)
- Lovely blush color/wears well
- Too yellow as a highlight but I used it under my eyes to mask my under eye darkness!
- Brush! lol Like it. It is soft, firm enough, doesn't shed.
Thank
you so much for following along.
