April Ipsy Glam Bag Review

So this is my review of my April Ipsy Bag! ... So I've been giving it some thought and I think after next month (had to redeem my points) I am going to cancel my ipsy bag subscription... I am finding I have an excessive amount of lip glosses, odd coloured eyeliners I don't use and many blush samples... I'm looking forward to having the extra $20 a month (currency exchange was kicking my butt...)

Anyway! For now I still have my April bag! The bag itself was super cute (as usual) it had this wicker feel to it.

My first sample was Good Morning- Honey Silk Facial Serum by Hey Honey

So this serum looks like thick pee when it comes out... It's this odd murky yellow in colour however I used it for about a week and really noticed a difference under my eyes. 
"This light and luxurious serum replenishes and protects your skin so you are ready to take on the day! Rich moisturizers and nutrients smooth and improve tone for bright, radiant skin. Excellent under makeup, or as a day/night cream. Silky finish and smoothing properties makes Good Morning an awesome makeup primer"


Second up is a new blush by Hikari Cosmetics

I don't wear blush... My cheeks are rosy enough as it is that I generally don't like using blush. I just end up looking like a barbie. The shade is Tango so it has a bit more of a orange tinge to it instead of a pink thank goodness!
"This blush is designed to highlight your complexion, it is weightless and can be used lightly for a fresh look or layered for a dramatic look. Guaranteed to last all day."


Next up is NUDE Dude Eye Shadow by theBalm Cosmetics

First of all the packaging is adorable! Certainly even if I hadn't researched it before and saw this in a store... I'd probably buy it! Aha
I received the "Flirty" shade (shimmery golden violet I guess)
The shadow itself goes on very faint I find, I like my eye shadow to stand out personally but y'know... People who like subtle shadow will like it. 
It apparently can also be used as an eye liner if you add a bit of water- I haven't tried this myself but it does intrigue me...

After that we have Satin Finish Lip Gloss by Starlooks.

So in the week that I was testing this product... I managed to lose it. Noo idea where it went... I think it's in a pants pocket somewhere... I hope I find it before I wash it...
This product to me personally wasn't that great. I am not a huge fan of lip glosses at all... I like lots of colour and prefer not having to reapply 16 times a day.. However it wasn't at all sticky when applying and it had a sweet flavor to it.

I received the shade "Cuddle" ... Or y'know brown..

"Starlooks Satin Finish Lip Gloss has a trule moisturizing, non-sticky formula available in 47 different shades."

And last but not least we have a Mini Lip and Cheek Tint by Mullein and Sparrow


This was a little weird on my cheeks... It doesn't go on smoothly like a powder (obviously) but man... was it ever  tasty on my lips and smelt absolutely devine!! This is definitely staying in my purse for balm purposes!


There we have it! My Ipsy bag for April and possibly one of the last bags I will be receiving. My favorite product was definitely the morning cream (pee colour aside). I really saw a difference in my complexion when I wore it and I appreciate products that have noticeable results!
