Ipsy Glam Bag 💫 August 2017 💫

IPSY GLAM BAG

AUGUST 2017

"Good Vibes Only"

August's bag has 3 different variations and I've received the ombre orange-red with Peace, love, lipstick declared. (Quite right about the lipsticks)

5 products:

-Seraphine botanicals liquid coal eyeliner. 

-Aurora x Ipsy green colour corrector concealer.

-Cliv hyaluronic mask x 2 sachets.

-The balm voyage shadow/luminizer in shade "kuwakaribisha"

-Hikari shimmer bronzer flush

1. Seraphine botanicals liquid coal eyeliner.

Liquid pen eyeliner with a felt tip brush is forever the best form of eyeliner you can ever get, it is the most precise type of brush if ever you need a winged liner or a sleek cat eye. So i really love receiving this type of eyeliners compared to getting a gel/kohl/crayon type of liner that i will never ever use. This is well pigmented and non watery, does not tug and has a smooth felt tip applicator. 

2. Aurora x Ipsy green colour corrector concealer.

Yes i do use colour correctors because i have alot of red/pimple marks on my skin. I'm currently using L.A girl cc concealer pen and its the best so far. Was hoping that this product would work well howeverrr, it applied nicely at first, with enough pigmentation covering the spot, but once you try to blend it out, it starts to crumble and disappears. Almost like it instantly dries when applied, it has a doe foot applicator so it does tend to pick up a lot of product so i definitely have to blend it out but its just impossible. I have never heard of this brand before but it looks alot like something nyx would make. This product is a nope for me.

3. Cliv hyaluronic mask.

Received 2 packs of this to try. I like the mask, it was filled full of the serum hence i had leftovers to use my daiso blank sheet mask to soak in the extra solution. Watery serum, easily absorbed and the mask size and shape fits as per normal without issue. I usually use masks at night as thats the only time i have to rest my mind and body. After use, face does feel more cool and replenished. 

4. The balm voyage shadow/luminizer in shade "kuwakaribisha"

In my ipsy profile it states that i will be receiving a dark brown shade, however upon receiving the bag i realised ive received something else which is this light champagne gold shade. I personally love this more as it works as an eyeshadow and also subtle enough as a highlighter. This is not a very unique shade tho, most palettes do have this highlight colour. Very pigmented and easily blendable, see swatch below. I like this product.

5. Hikari shimmer bronzer flush.

Right off the bat there are a few things that i do not like from this combo.

-Firstly, the 2 blush shades imo are much too pink to wear alone.

-Secondly, the bronzer shades are almost the same but with shimmers. Id prefer matte bronzers.

-Third, the pan is small, means i have to swirl everything in and that is gonna create an overwhelming blend of colours. 

Hence, i decided to give this away without hesitation.

Overall this bag was a meh, as i only liked 3 of the products and the other 2 was a nope for me. Looking forward to the next month's bag!
