IPSY GLAM BAG

MAY 2018

May’s glam bag is inspiring us all to head out and reach out to our next vacation. And here are a few handy thingies they thought wise to bring along to your trip.

1.Elizabeth Mott Pop goes the shadow in Mermaid teal.

Oh yes! I was praying that i would get the fancy blue instead of yet another boring bronze shade which was in the variant. In a previous Ipsy bag I’ve received this eyeshadow before in the shade toast(toasted?) which was a toasty brown shade. The shadow formula is the same, they’re smooth however the Mermaid teal is not as pigmented on first swipe(see swatch), but it can be layered for a deeper hue.

2.Eyeko Eye do liquid eyeliner.

As i recall, I’ve received this recently from the Allure March beauty box. It’s a really good pigmented liquid pen liner which is my absolute favourite because i abhor pencil liners that smudge around. These are waterproof and long lasting.

3.Nyx soft matte lip cream in Cairo.

This is one of the lightest nude shade in the nude spectrum of the smlc and I can tell straight away that this is far too light for me and wouldn’t bode well with my light-medium skin tone. Surprisingly the other 4 variant shades were much more wearable like (london,abu dhabi,cannes). So im giving away this piece to someone paler.

4.Tarte Smooth operator Amazonian clay finishing powder.

Excited to receive this translucent powder as I’ve never tried from Tarte before. And its a decent sample size to trial. Im amazed at the smoothness of the powder, it feels like its infused with silicone too to give it a smooth texture. Once applied it blurs out the pores on my face especially the inner cheeks and nose area. I read that this causes flashback but I’ve not tested that claim yet.

5.Common labs Ggultamin C Real jel mask.

This mask has a weird name, not sure if its spelled wrongly or its a Korean slang for something. Anyways the mask has two portions, i have tried the first top part before in an Ipsy point redemption. The bottom part is the mask itself. The mask is drenched in gel essence full of good ol vitamin C and Propolis extract.

That summarises the May ipsy bag. I really wished i got the other colour instead for the nyx product, mainly because i know the formula of the lip cream and i love their application so getting a wearable shade is a bonus. Otherwise, the other products are great to try.
