My latest Ipsy bag landed in my mailbox this week! I’ll be honest, the last couple have been really hit and miss, so I wasn’t sure whether or not to be excited about this one. However, I’ve been pleasantly surprised. Here’s a look at what the shiny pink bag had for me this month:
April Ipsy Bag!
Ipsy bag contents
I got the following in my Beauty Rocks bag. I’ve tried some products out already, too!
Cailyn Tinted Lip Balm in Apple Pink – I’ve gotten Cailyn tinted lip balms in the past and haven’t been super impressed. They’re usually really drying, and the packaging is so silly (who uses a brush to apply lip balm?) I do really like the color of this one, though, so I’ll have to give it a try.
Urban Decay 24/7 Velvet Glide-On Eye Pencil in Black Velvet – I love the Slide-On Glide-On eye pencils from Urban Decay, and this one did not disappoint. I haven’t had a chance to smudge it out like the little booklet it came with said to, but I think it would be great for that as well. This is super pigmented and easy to apply as well.
Big Sexy Hair Root Pump Volumizing Spray Mousse – I had this product several years ago and didn’t repurchase for some reason. I used it yesterday, and it is awesome! It’s a little thick and will get sticky if you use too much, but it gives amazing volume, especially if you use it with a blow dryer.
Dr. Brandt Microdermabrasion – There’s not too much to say about a Microdermabrasion Scrub, but I’m interested to try it because I’ve heard good things about the brand.

City Color White Gold Shadow and Highlight Mousse – I used this yesterday, too and I really like it! It has the most beautiful shimmer without being too much, and the texture is really unique. I never would have thought to buy this, but I’m so excited to keep using it!
Overall a really solid group of products! Here are some swatches for your info:
Swatches inside – CC Mousse, UD Pencil, Cailyn Balm
Swatches in natural light (And what you can almost see is it SNOWING in the middle of April…)
Do you get Ipsy? What did you think of your products this month? Or, subscribe to another service you’d recommend? I’m toying with the idea of switching it up in the near future, so let me know!
