April IPSY Bag!

For the last few months I've been a subscriber to the ipsy bag.  If you haven't heard it's a monthly subscription for beauty products, and it's only $10 a month!  Another popular option is Birchbox, but after watching multiple reviews I chose ipsy because they send more full size products as well as samples.  I do want the Birchbox as well, but for my budget currently just one will do!

This month I received THREE full size products!  I was such a happy girl when I opened my bag (:

April's theme is Pretty in Pink and included four products in a decent quality travel size makeup bag.  Really, I was very impressed by the quality of the bag because last months was very thin and I would never use it in my daily life. 

Included with my bag was coupon codes for purchase through ipsy affiliated sites, as well as an invite to Generation Beauty.  I won't be able to attend since I live hundreds of miles away, but it is a good discount.  More info here. The code I received was IPSYSUB for a $110 discount, so feel free to use it!  I'm not sure if it's limited or what qualifications are needed, but you can always try (: 

So excited!

Boxed products

The first thing I freaked out over was this Sation nail lacquer which is one of the full size products!  I'm not familiar with the brand, but I love trying new things.  This is in Love At First Byte which is a gorgeous light peachy shade.

Another full size product is this blush from Be A... Bombshell in Sweet Cheeks.  The texture is smooth and felt nice when swatching.  I'd describe the color as a sort of bubblegum pink with a  beautiful sheen to it.  Not shimmer, not matte, but somewhere in between   I know these regularly retail for around $16 so that pays for my whole bag in one product!

I don't know why but this was so hard to photograph.  As you can see its a eyeshadow duo from Two Cosmetics in Heartache.  These are more muted pink tones than the blush above.  I'd describe the darker color as rose and the lighter as more of a baby pink.  The light shade is shimmer, the darker is matte.  This is full size yet its extremely tiny.

As you can see I just cleaned by brushes yesterday...

Finally, I received a sample size of Powder Play texturizing powder from Sexy Hair... I cannot tell you how long I've been wanting to try this!  A few years ago a friend of mine used it while doing my hair and it gave great lift. 

So that's what I received for the month of April.  I am very impressed with their products this time around, and cannot wait for next month.

Do you subscribe to ipsy or something similar?

Thanks for reading!  I love to see what you all have to say in the comments (:
