Review: Ipsy 2014-04
May. 5th, 2014 10:40 pmOh dear... sneak peeks are happening for the May bag, and here I am having not posted anything about April! Life got busy (and I wanted to get my Diablo characters maxed again...), but I did take pictures and try everything at least once, so here we go!
The bag for this month is a dark purple, slightly taller than average and a thinner outer material. Nothing terribly notable; it has a record player image on it.

( And here are the products! )
Overall, I was shockingly pleased with the perfume this month, but the rest was fairly bland. I'm sure I'll use the eyeliner and eyeshadow, though, and I didn't mind trying the exfoliator... the tinted lip balm is a bit of a bust, but may have some use combining with other products.
The bloom is somewhat off the rose for receiving these bags, which is sort of what I expected... I just don't love makeup that much, and it starts to pile up quickly since I don't wear it often. I'm enjoying the excuse to get better at using it, but once I hit a comfortable level of skill, I don't see myself continuing with this. For the moment, I've updated my profile to include more things to see about some variety, and we'll see how the next month or two goes.
