IPSY GLAM BAG

MARCH 2018

This month, Ipsy is letting our inner creativity run the show for the glam bag by colouring it in with the neon markers given. 

Along with the markers, there’s 5 products waiting to be tested too!

1.Doucce Freematic eyeshadow in Ariana.

Including this shade, i have a growing total of 6 of these tiny eyeshadow pods of Doucce freematic shadow. Since the quad palette that i have is full, i depotted this and was gonna place it in my ofra magnetic palette but lo and behold, this one isnt magnetic. (Pretty weird considering the rest are.) Ariana is a shimmery golden brown shade. Swatches nicely on the fingers. (Swatches below)

2.Tarte sex kitten eyeliner.

I have this in full size from the Tarte holiday collection treasure box. The full size has a little eraser bud at the end while the travel size one doesn’t, but the eyeliner stick is the same. This twist up liner tends to wear down to a stump and is hard to actually get a sharp precise line, it is however great for the under eye and also for smudging a smokey eye out. (Swatches below)

3.SLmissglam SL41 Blusher brush.

It’s hot pink. While i will not be travelling around with this eye grabbing brush, the diamonds and hot pink is abit dramatic isn’t it. But i do love getting more blush brushes. Because im far too lazy to keep washing my brushes all the time, plus i have alot of blushes i rotate with, the more blush brushes the merrier and easier i can rotate with. As usual, slmissglam has super soft synthetic bristles. 

4.Rodial glamobrow in Dark ash brown.

I have been seeing this brand more often especially their eyeliners, this brow pencil is new to me. The glamobrow is a classic twist up brow stick on one end and a spoolie on the other end. On first swatch, the stick was abit dry and pigmentation wasn’t showing that well, i pressed harder and the tip of the stick broke and a tiny chunk came off. But after the top part broke, it actually swatched better, perhaps the outer stick was abit dried out. It does not wash off easily under water either. (Swatches below)

5.Trufora triple action exfoliator.

This triple action exfoliator has a itty bitty gritty exfoliating beads in the cream and seems almost invisible on the naked eye, but upon applying on the face you can definitely feel the exfoliating action. The texture is not rough, its almost like Dr brandt’s exfoliator. This can be scrubbed after leaving it on the face for 5 minutes to let the product sink in the pores before scrubbing away the dead stuck in between. It is also free of irritating scents.

Swatches:

March is a simple and easy bag, simple idea with a motivating push to create. So if you’ve been wanting to do something like spring clean your vanity table (like i did), de stash your makeup collection, or simply finish an art piece, let this be the month to push yourself! (Much like the baby that I’ve pushed out into the world and delay my spring cleaning process.)
