I've said it once, and I'll say it again - the best day brightener is always a bright pink Ipsy package in the post! That being said.. today my April Ipsy package arrived, hurray!
This months theme is 'Pretty in Pink' - first impression, I LOVED the bag! So simple, so cute!
This months contents:
- Be A Bombshell Blush in Sweet Cheeks - this blush swatched so nicely, it's such a great velvety texture. It seems like a great quality blush, buuuut the colour just didn't suit me too well. Its a fairly bright pink with blue and silver undertones which are a no-no for me. I have olive toned skin with yellow undertones, so gold is my thing.
- MicaBeauty Mineral Eyeshadow in Earth - this was one of the either/or products for this month and let me tell you I was so pleased to have gotten this one! The other option was an eyeshadow duo by Two Cosmetics which I probably would never touch.. so I'm happy! It's a gorgeous shimmery barely there pink shade, and the texture is really lovely!
- BigSexyHair Powder Play - I've yet to try this but I've heard wonderful things, and love the brand so I'm so excited to have gotten this one! The other option was a soy renewal which is equally fab, but I'm more excited to try this baby out!
- Sation Nail Lacquer in Of Corset I'll Call You - I was hoping for the other colour since I literally just purchased a new pastel pink polish, so I'll likely be giving this to my sister (she gets all my makeup rejects) but the colour is super pretty!
A quick swatch of the blush - super pretty and velvety, but not for my skin tone :(
And the Mineral Eyeshadow - a barely there shimmery pink!
And a little price breakdown:
- Be A Bombshell Blush in Sweet Cheeks - retails 16$ (16$)
- MicaBeauty Mineral Eyeshadow in Earth - retails 14.95$ for 2.5 gm, sample was 2gm (11.96$)
