IPSY May 2014 Bag Review

So this has been a long overdue review because I have already received my june bag (which was pretty great!). Like others, I was a bit disappointed with my may ipsy bag. It’s not that I don’t care about facial or hair products, I do, but I have products I trust and prefer. My skin is picky about products and so is my hair. In my bag, I received the Avene Spring Water, Hang 10 sunscreen SPF 50, Eva NYC hair mask,  Pacifica Mineral Eyeshadow duo 2 and the Crown Brush pro blending fluff brush (after trading my hey honey mask for it),  Anyway, I am going to review each product separately.

First, my least favorite product: The Avene Spring Water. It is literally just spring water in a can. But the worst part about it was it made my skin a bit irritated. I feel like a spray bottle of water  would do a better job than this product. I still have it and use it if I need to spray water.

Next, the Hang 10 suncreen SPF 50. While I loved the design, I really wasn’t looking forward to sunscreen because non-spray sunscreen always leaves behind weird white residue and sunscreen is something a lot of people have already. I tried the sunscreen though. It was like any other sunscreen I have tried before. Also, if I wish I got a sunscreen with less SPF because 50 is just too much for me. 15 and 30 are more appropriate for me.

Next, The EVA NYC hair mask. I have never tried a hair mask so I decided to try this one out. While the smell was AMAZING, the product worked the same as my conditioner. My conditioner keeps my hair looking good for a longer time than this product though. My hair got dirter a lot quicker when I used this mask compared to my conditioner. I will use this as a backup especially because of the smell.

Next, the eyeshadow duo 2. While others complained about the pigmentation, I only noticed poor pigmentation on the purple color (which was disappointing because it’s my favorite color). I really like the white-gold color. I have used this a couple of time when I wanted a simple natural look. This was one of my favorite products of the month. .

Finally, the Crown pro blending fluff brush. I traded my face mask for this and I’m glad that I did. This brush is pretty soft and is a good size for blending. I love my coastal scents one but this one is perfect one to be my travel brush. I never heard of this brush company before so I will definitely check them out.

One more thing, My favorite thing from the May bag was the bag itself! This is one of my favorite bag to date! It is super cute and the canvas material goes great with the more natural theme of this bag.  I love it so much that I can’t decide what to do with it!
