Ipsy's theme this month is Jetsetter and I have to say I'm pretty pleased with the products I recieved! So lets start with this adorable bag, that is a perfect travel bag. It's taller then the previous bags I've received but not as wide. I love that they did three different sayings on the bags, so not everyone got the same one.
First item on my list is a Bellapierre gel eyeliner in Ebony. A year ago, I would have been over the moon to receive this. But, my make up habits have changed and I have more eyeliners then I know what to do with. All that aside, it is a great eyeliner. The swatch in the picture is just lightly done in one swipe. So, as you can see, it goes on smoothly and has some serious staying power. After I swatched this, it did not just wipe right off. Which is awesome but also tells me, do not mess up using this liner! lol
I was ecstatic to see that I would be receiving Urban Decay's lip liner and samples of their new lip gloss. The glosses came in the colors Failbait and Bittersweet. They actually feel creamy and not sticky. Although using it with the lip liner does cause them to have a tacky texture. Failbait is a kind of neutral pink and Bittersweet is a more bright purple. I've tried Failbait and could see using that on a daily basis but Bittersweet is a more daring color for me. I have every intention of stepping out of my box to try this color!
The lip liner itself is in Ozone and is completely clear. I would call it more on a lip primer then a liner. It leaves a tacky like texture on your lips which causes whatever lip color you choose to last longer. It does work very well! I may be a bit bias though. I've been a fan of UD lip liners for sometime now.
On to Pixi by Petra bronzer. This is a beautiful soft shimmery bronzer. I wouldn't recommend using this as a contour or even all over the face, since it does have shimmer to it. But, this does look fantastic on the cheeks. Gives a gorgeous beachy sunkissed glow without a orange look. The only thing I've ever tried from Pixi is a primer which I was impressed with but I was very happy to see that I was getting a bronzer!
Next is the Bare Republic face sunscreen. I'm usually not excited about getting sunscreen in my subscriptions, but, this one actually feel very nice and has that summery beachy scent. It's VERY smooth, maybe a silicone based moisturizer. Not something I really needed but happy to try it out.
Lastly, Nuxe face cleaning and make up removing gel. This stuff stinks. I'm not sure how well it works, since I can't get past the smell to actually use it. This is two months in a row that ipsy has sent me something that smelled so bad I couldn't even use it. Last month was the Mullian and Sparrow Lip and cheek tint, which smelled like mold. Anyway, Maybe someone I know will like the scent and want it. It's went straight into my share the love box, a box of things I don't use or want.
