When you complete reviews, you earn points, which can be redeemed for special items.

I love Ipsy's shipping envelopes. I always save mine, and use them for trades.
First Look: I was really surprised to see such a huge perfume “sample” in the bag. It was so big, it didn't fit in my Ipsy bag.
The theme for this month is “Beauty Candy”.
The bag is really pretty this month, but I don't like the side zippers, because I feel it gives some wasted space at the top. The bag reminds me of a retro couch.
Indie Lee Brightening Cleanser $4.00 This is a nice cleanser. I tried it tonight and it left my skin feeling fresh and clean. I like saving sample cleansers for travel.
Smashbox Photo Finish Foundation Primer Pore Minimizing $9.75 I have the Smashbox Photo Finish Foundation and love it. This is a new pore minimizing version. I don't have too much trouble with pores, so I couldn't tell much of a difference. This works just as great as my Smashbox primer, so this is also going in my travel stash.
ROGUE by Rihanna EAU DE PARFUM SPRAY $9.99 I was really surprised to see such huge sample in my bag. This has a fruity/sweet/floral scent to it and has a combination of jasmine, plum and patchouli. It's a pretty unique scent and I am not sure if I like it or not yet.
MicaBeauty Mineral Eye Shadow $14.95 This is a greens shadow with a shimmer. It also has some black in it. I was going to do a swatch, but I couldn't get one to look good on my arm. I tried it out with a little brush along my liner and I liked the look. I will save this color more for evening looks, as it can look pretty dramatic.
Starlooks Lip Gloss $6.00: I am guessing on price, as it looks about half the full size. This is .3 oz, but I couldn't find the full size amount. This is a nice nude shade with no stickiness.
Final Thought: The total value of this bag was $44.69. I love getting a travel version of the primer and cleanser. The lip gloss is a great color and the shadow is great for evening looks. I am still deciding on the perfume, but it will be easily traded if I don't like it. For $10.00/month, Ipsy is a fantastic subscription to get beauty products at a great price.

I hope you love it!
I also got the lip gloss and the cleanser. I love the smell of the cleanser and so does my husband! In addition I got the mango mandarin hand cream (smells great too), liquid eyeliner, and H20 highlighter that I’m not quite sure how to use. I’m happy with my bag!
