IPSY April 2014 Bag Review

So, I received my bag a while ago but I have finally gotten a chance to write up a review!

So the theme was "Beauty Rocks" and the size & color of the bag was nice (its actually more purple, the lighting isnt doing it justice). But, I think the design is a bit cheesy and they could have done much better.

The products I received:
- Kiss "Flirty" Lashes (full size)
- Benefit's Lollitint (sample size)
- Cailyn Tinted Pink Lip Balm (full size)
- City Color White Gold Shadow and Highlight Mousse (full size?)
- Urban Decay 24/7 Velvet Glide-on Eye pencil (travel size)

First, my favorite product of the bag: The Urban Decay Liner!

So I was excited to get this because I havent tried urban decay products before and they are a very popular brand. I really liked the formula and everything about this pencil. The only problem is the price. I dont want to pay 20 dollars for a full sized one :(

Below are pictures of the tip and a swatch

Next, my second favorite item: City color eye mousse

I really loved the formula and color. It looks like a wonderful gold color that would be perfect as a shadow. As a highlighter, this product is just too gold on my skin.

Below is a swatch of this pretty color!

Next, the Cailyn Lip Balm.

As I have previously mentioned, I dont like pink. So getting a pink lip balm wasnt too exciting for me. I did give it a try though and I was NOT happy with it. It wasnt the color that bugged me, it was the formula and application. The formula was SUPER drying (and it calls itself a MOISTURIZING lip balm) and the application was SUPER streaky. It made my lips WORSE than before. Plus when I swatched it, it stained my arm for a LONG time. I looked up this product on the website and saw it was $19 dollars?! I wouldnt have paid 1 dollar for this product. Im keeping this product in case I find some better use for it.

Below is a swatch of this lip balm (its in the color acid pink which i kind of like)

Next, the lashes.

I dont hate lashes but I wasnt excited to get them. I havent tried them and I will save them for a special ocassion or something.

Finally, The lollitint

So I didnt even bother taking it out of the packaging because this product is something I dont even want to try. I dont do pink blush and I already got a pink lip product (even though it sucked). I am currently talking with another ipster and I plan on trading it for the Brush.

So overall, This bag was a bit dissapointing but I found 2 great products and I know what products I dont like. I hope next month's ipsy is awesome!
