April 2014 IPSY - Beauty Rocks! And one full year of IPSY complete!

I have officially completed 1 full year of IPSY!!!!!!!!   I continue to love this subscription and look forward to that lovely pink package each month!  This months theme was "Beauty Rocks" and there are a few items in here to DIE for!

If you don't know IPSY is a monthly make up subscription which costs $10 per month + shipping (free shipping in the USA) and you get 4-6 full size or trial size items and a cute bag!  Interested in signing up? Use my referral code here!

Here is what I got in this months bag!

1. URBAN DECAY 24/7 Velvet Glide On Eyeliner in Black!  Probably the best item in this bag and more then pays for the subscription with this one item.  The rest of the bag coulda been shit and I would have still liked it!!  This is only a travel size however this could have fooled me since its a decent size!  The normal size is valued at $20 however im not sure the value on this one.

2. Natural Lashes by KISS - ive always loved me some fake lashes so these are always greatly appreciated!  they aren't to wild either so this is a plus! Love this item! Full size product valued at $3.99

3. Lolli Tint by Benefit! I always get freakin excited when I see anything by Benefit in the IPSY bags, this time I got lucky and got one!  This is a really pretty pink blush!  Definitely a plus to have in my collection!  The regular size is 12.5mL and is $30.  We received a sample size of 2.5mLs and the value is not known but based on the size/price of the regular, this sample is roughly worth $6

4. White Gold Shadow by Colour City - this shadow is so creamy and mousse like, and is a great highlighter, I actually LOVE this and will use it often! it has a really nice finish!   This is a full size product and retails for $3.99

5. Tinted Lipbalm by Cailyn - we have received products before from this brand and so far I have liked them.  They are good quality and are a little pricy.  This month there were 2 colours and I unfortunately got the one I would rather not have.  Its a very pink colour and the other was a more nude shade.   Cant win em all I guess hehe but still a high quality product.  This is a full size product and retails for a whopping $19!

This bag had a 4/5 item win!  overall I loved all of the goodies! Total value for this bag was $32.98 + $10 for the UD liner (aprox)

The bag:

- clear plastic cylinder-like bag that's see through, I'm guessing its supposed to be water proof for the beach. I did not test this theory!

ITEM 1:Sexy Hair Soy Renewal Spray. Its to create a beachy look and it conditions and texturizes!  I haven't really used this yet, I'm kinda "waiting" for the right time lmao, it smells awesome though and i like the concept.  This item is a travel size but it is sold in this size for $19.95.  It comes with a nice sprayer.  The sprayer also locks for when you wanna through it in your bag!  This item retails for

ITEM 2: BH Cosmetics California Collections Eye Shadow Palette.  I got three colours: purple, copper and gold!  Again I'm waiting for the right time to use it! I will definitely use it but these are the type of colours you use on a night out!  All very nice colours and very pigmented.  This is a sample size product.  The closest item they sell to this, is $8-$9 and you get more colours on the palette.

ITEM 3: POP Beauty Pouty Pop Crayon in the colour coral.  I have used this, its nice, easy to apply and not over powering in colour, and nice to keep in your purse.  It stays on surprisingly long which was a pleasant surprise.  This is a nice alternative to lipstick and lip gloss!  I can only find this item in a kit with other colours, the kit of 6 costs $25 , and we got a full size version in the bag

ITEM 4. Nailtini Nail Lacquer in colour Mai Tai.  This is a really fun colour.  I used this item FIRST and almost immediately, LOVE it.  I wish i took a pic cause i did nail designs as well <3 This item retails for $13 per bottle, and this is a full size product.

ITEM 5: Coola Mineral Face Sunscreen with SPF 20.   Haven't used it yet but its the perfect size to through in your purse, bag or diaper bag! I'm sure it will come in handy!  This is a small sample size product and the large size is $36.00!

This month we had 2 full size products and 3 Samples.  This makes it very hard to narrow down a value for the items!  In fact I only know the exact value for 1 product that's for sure!  So you can do that crazy math :)

All in all, i did like this bag and will likely use all products!
