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!

Backtrack... IPSY JUNE BAG!

Id like to continue on with showing my IPSY bags, they are so great and fun.  This is last months!  June was probably my favourite bag so far, everything was to die for <3  For anyone who doesn't know the bags cost $10.  If your in the USA it's free shipping.  For us in Canada the shipping is about $4 making an approximate grand total of $14/month shipped.

Also Id like to add that i need 1 more sign up to get my free item from ipsy<3  Anyone wishing to join please use my link!   here > http://www.ipsy.com/?refer=u-hgrdvbg4u1qc1h4q


The theme for the June 2013 bag was "On the Wild Side".  I LOVE this bag, its sooooo cute!  Favourite bag design in the history of ipsy, that's for sure!!!

ITEM 1. Star Looks lip pencil in colour "Tickle me Pink".  I'm not much of a lipstick person so this may or may not get used.  I don't have any lip pencils right now so its nice to have!  It may be too pink for me but we shall see.  This item retails for $12.00 and we received a full size in the June Bag.

ITEM 2. NYX Cream Blush in colour Hot Pink .  I love cream makeup, it looks so flawless <3 So this is something I would use.  I have tried it and its a nice colour, it doesn't look TOO pink.   This item retails for $6.00 and we did get a full size product!

ITEM 3. J Cat Sparkle Cream Palette - DO not be fooled by this, its not eyeshadow!  Its basically body glitter.  I would love to use it as shadow since I'm all down with the sparkle shadows but the label says not to use it on eyes :( This is probably the least likely product that id use!  Probably save it for Halloween or something!  Retails for $4.49 and its a full size product!

ITEM 4. J Cat Eye lashes. Eeeeekkkk i love falsies!  Can this bag be any more perfect? YAY for this item!!!  They are decently priced to making this a plus - It even comes with lash glue!  Retails for $3.99 and is a full size product!

ITEM 5. Best for last: Caitlyn Gel Eye Liner in colour Iron.   This item comes with its own built in brush!  Its a beautiful coal colour and Ive used 10 zillion times already and its probably my most favourite item in this months bag.  It retails for $21.00 on its own which already pay for this months bag twice over!


All together the total value of the bag this month was about $47.48USD and i paid $14CAD.
