Happy Monday makeup junkies!! I wanted to pop on here real quick to do my April IPSY "unboxing". For those of you who have no idea who or what IPSY is, it's a $10 monthly beauty subscription service, created by YouTube beauty phenom Michelle Phan, where you get 4-5 deluxe sample-full size products and a different makeup bag every month. IPSY has long been one of my favorite subscription services; for only $10 you get an awesome assortment of makeup and beauty products from well known brands, and honestly I am never disappointed in what I receive. I'll make sure to link IPSY's website down below, so you can check out if you're curious.
This month's theme was "Beauty Rocks" and the makeup bag is blue, with a picture of a record on the front to go along with the theme. I received 5 products this month, 3 of which are full sized. I'm super excited to get to play around with everything I received tomorrow! I already swatched everything for you guys, but I plan on creating a look using all the products I received; so check back tomorrow to see that. Keep reading to see everything I got, swatches, and information on all the products:
Cailyn Tinted Lip Balm- Acid Pink
Full Size $19
Indulge in colors that last and formulas that enrich! This ultra matte, super moisturizing lip balm offers you rich colors with amazing staying power.
-Full Size. I love this product! I've been a fan of these Cailyn Tinted Lip Balms for a while now, and actually I keep their red shade in my purse at all times. I find that these aren't your typical tinted lip balm; as in they are not super moisturizing or sheer. This product goes on with full color and has a matte-like finish. I find these to be super comfortable, easy to apply (they have a built in brush on the top), and the color is gorgeous. This hot pink is going to be absolutely perfect for Spring and Summer!
*The only annoying thing is that the product I received is half empty, it looks like it might have melted or evaporated so I need to contact IPSY about this.
City Color White Gold Shadow & Highlighting Mousse
Full Price $3.99
Brighten your eyes and cheekbones with the City Color White Gold Shadow & Highlight Mousse. This smooth and creamy product is enriched with luminosity, providing a beautiful gold sheen finish. Use as an eye shadow base as well as a highlighter.
-Full Sized. I'm really excited to try this product out as a face highlighter and as base for shadows. It has a really cool whipped texture to it, that goes on very light and smoothly. It dries down really quick and has a gorgeous pale gold sheen to it.
KISS Looks So Natural Lashes- Flirty
Full Size $3.99
Made with a revolutionary technology that creates tapered ends, KISS Looks So Natural lashes blend seamlessly with natural lashes. Significantly lighter in weight than traditional lashes, the wearer can barely feel them on. These feathery, soft lashes are available in various styles, from natural to dramatic looks. ipsy’s KISS lashes come with complimentary glue.
-Full Size (duh-lol) I am so, so excited to wear these falsies. They're thick, long, and wispy- my favorite! These are supposed to be "light and soft as a feather", so we shall see.
Urban Decay 24/7 Velvet Glide On Pencil- Black Velvet
Full Size $20
A must for smoky-eye fanatics: an ultra-plush version of UD’s creamy, waterproof 24/7 formula. Create perfectly blended-out or rich, precise lines that are blacker-than-black.
-Sample Size. I was so excited when I found out this was going to be in my IPSY bag, because I've been wanting to try this liner out since it was released but didn't want to pay full price if I didn't know how it performed. I haven't tried this out on my eyes yet, but it swatched beautifully so I have high hopes. I'm a big fan of UD's regular 24/7 liners, and I'm super happy that they brought out a matte/velvet formula; now if only they'd release more shades =)
Benefit Lolli Tint
Full Size $30
Hello lolli! Our candy-orchid tint treats lips & cheeks to a “pop” of dreamy sweetness. It’s the flirtiest flush you can get from a bottle…and its smudge-proof, smooch-proof color lasts from A.M. to P.M. Talk about stain power!
-Sample Size. I can't wait to use this product on my cheeks tomorrow! I love Benetint and have been dying to try out their new Lollitint. It has a really pretty sheer lilac/pink color to it that's going to be so beautiful for Spring.
Well guys, overall I am super happy with everything I received this month, and I can't wait to create a look for ya'll. So check back tomorrow or Wednesday for a full face look using all the products from this month's Glam Bag.
Tell me what you got in your April IPSY bag!

I think I have the same color Cailyn product. I lost it though, but I received it in an ipsy bag a long time ago. From what I remember, it was pretty good. I'm glad you like it too.
ReplyDeleteThis is my second Cailyn lip balm I've gotten in an IPSY bag and I really love them, although I feel like they should be called a lip lacquer or lipstick because they are so amazingly pigmented!
DeleteWow amazing products indeed! I didnt know michelle phan is the beauty genius behind IPSY! US subscription boxes are better than our local ones here! Anyway excited to see your look especially with the UD liner :)
