Well it's been a few months, sorry about that! My April bag was suppppper late so I ended up not doing a post on it. I will include a picture of the bag and contents though at the end of this post if you are interested.
This bag is very pretty - I love the colour and the sparkles are very fine rather than scratchy.
Onto what's inside:
This bag includes:
- Brush by Farah Brushes
- Eyeshadow by Blossom
- Hair lotion by R+Co
- Moisturizer by Pixi by Petra
- Finishing Powder by Bellapierre
Let's take a closer look:
What: Brush by Farah Brushes
Size: Full Size
Full Sized Price: 22 USD
My Thoughts: I hate getting brushes in my subscription boxes! And I don't know why I have been getting them lately from Ipsy because I have in my quiz that I don't like them. Anyway, I particularly don't like this one since it is dual ended and the brush is kind of flimsy (like all of the other FARAH brushes I have received).
My Rating: 1/5
What: Eyeshadow by Blossom
Shade: Dusty Miller
Size: Sample
Full Sized Price: ?
My Thoughts: This colour is nice and the formula is also good but the packaging is super cheap. I really do not like it at all - and it is so cute, I wanted it to be really good.
My Rating: 3/5
What: Hair lotion by R+Co
Size: Sample
Full Sized Price: 29 USD
My Thoughts: This is a really nice product. It smells excellent and made my hair really soft and sleek. For the price, I doubt I would buy it myself though as I have used similar products that are way cheaper.
My Rating: 5/5
What: Moisturizer by Pixi by Petra
Size: Sample
Full Sized Price: 22 USD
My Thoughts: I have recently become a bit of a Pixi by Petra convert - I have the milky mist and absolutely love it. This product is great and smells like the milky mist (which is a scent that I love) but it is nice and light. The product has a gel texture but leaves the skin feeling smooth and hydrated.
My Rating: 5/5
What: Finishing Powder by Bellapierre
Size: ?
Full Sized Price: 35 USD
My Thoughts: I am not sure if this product is full or not (their website does not give sizes) but it is a pretty good sized product. I like the powder a lot - it sets makeup nicely and seems to keep it in place for most of the day. The only negative that I have is that the holes for the powder are really big (at least twice normal size) which means that a lot of powder ends up in the top of the dish. It isn't detrimental to the use of the product, you just have to be aware of it.
My Rating: 5/5
I also bought extra products (I have a problem).
What: Cleanser by Youth to the People
Size: Sample
Full Sized Price: 36 USD
My Thoughts: I really like this cleanser - the smell is nice and light, it lathers really well, it cleans well and my skin felt really nice after using it. The bottle is also glass which surprised me. The only negative I have to say about this is that it does say that it will remove makeup and it did but it could not remove my eye makeup.
My Rating: 5/5
What: Clay Mask by RE:P
Size: Sample
Full Sized Price: 32 USD
My Thoughts: I was really surprised by this mask - I figured it would have a very strong herbal smell but it didn't. I like this mask a lot - it dries down nicely and makes my skin feel really soft and smooth.
My Rating: 5/5
What: Clay Mask by Innisfree
Size: Sample
Full Sized Price: ?
My Thoughts: I like this mask as well but I do wish that it dried down just a little bit more and faster. It does make the skin feel very nice though.
My Rating: 5/5
April Bag:
Final Thoughts: I am annoyed at this bag - mostly because there was a brush in it. I hate to waste a product on a brush - if I need a brush, I will buy it. I also didn't really like the eyeshadow that much. But the other products were great. I really enjoyed my extra products as well (though I did pick them out). I'm quite addicted at this point to buying the 3 extra products but it's a nice way to try out some new things or to buy a product that I know I love.
I did start getting Boxycharm so stay tuned for posts on that subscription.
Until next month!
