Elizabeth Arden Beautiful Color Moisturizing Lipstick
Wow, was I surprised to see this in my bag. A full size Elizabeth Arden Beautiful Color Moisturizing Lipstick in the shade "02 Red Door." This retails for $25.00 at Elizabeth Arden. This is a standard classic red. This has a wax scent to it. This does have a slight unpleasant wax like last to it. It did feel a tad bit heavy on the lips. As far as pigmentation, this is extremely pigmented. I like it, but not loving it. I am loving the packaging. From the cardboard package to the actual lipstick itself. It is packaged in a heavy duty extremely sturdy gold metal container that snaps closed. I appreciate how well it snaps closed, that means no mishaps in my handbag LOL. I can't say that I will purchase any more, but I will enjoy the one I have.
MICA Beauty Cosmetics Eye Primer
Travel size 4 g of MICA Beauty Cosmetics Eye Primer. Full size of 8 g retails for a whopping price of $44.95! at MICA Beauty I like this but did not love it. I found the product thick, tacky and glossy. I was not a fan if its texture. However as an eye primer it did perform but I found it difficult to work with. To apply this I found that using my fingers worked best. The warmth of my fingers helped the product to melt and glide across my eyelids. This also is extremely pigmented. This surly will give a clean canvas to work and hid the appearance of any discoloration. I'm still on the fence if I will use this. Just not a huge fan of its texture.
Pandora's Makeup Box blush
Full size 4 g Pandora's Makeup Box blush in the shade "Pink Carnation" this retails for $14.00 at Pandora's Makeup Box. This is a blush in a pan only. The palette container is sold separately in the options of 1, 4 or 8 pan holders. The blush is an extremely pigmented matte blush. I am loving it!!!! I had never heard of this company, but I am glad to have been sent this in my Ipsy bag.
Mullein & Sparrow All Natural Tinted Lip & Cheek Balm
Full size 0.25 oz Mullein & Sparrow Mini All Natural Tinted Lip & Cheek Balm. This retails for $10.00 at Mullein & Sparrow. At first glance this looks like it could could have some real color to it. When worn this leaves a slight tint. I was kind of sad. In the pot, this appears to be externally pigmented. For me there is no way this could be a cheek tint. It's too glossy and does not show up on my skin tone. It wears nicely on the lips, it's slightly tinted but nothing special. The scent of this reminds me of raspberry truffles. Its delightful!
The Balm Cosmetics Nude Dude Eyeshadow Single
Ok, this hands down was the funniest thing to me in this bag. I am a big fan of The Balm Cosmetics creativity. Receiving this single pan 0.035 oz sample of "Nude Dude 2" palette made me even more want to purchase this palette. The palette retails for a reasonable price of $36.00 at The Balm Cosmetics. I found this to go on smooth and felt butter soft to touch. This pigmentation was so on point. What you see is what you get. I may just have to purchase this palette in the future!
In all was this months bag worth the $10.00? Yes, this bags total value was $51.50 with three full size products and two samples size products (one sample size really was more then just a sample). I very much liked this moths bag. My favorite is the Elizabeth Arden lipstick! iPsy continues to impress me with the items in these bags, go iPsy!
