This month's theme was in support of local artist Klari Reis who designed the print for this particular bag. I believe this is a new series that Ipsy is trying to launch, and I think it's cool because it results in creative makeup bags.
As far as the products, each month you get about 4-5 deluxe beauty samples in your bag. This month I received four products.
My first product was this Flawless Beauty Primer by Pixi. It is a salmon hued primer that is supposed to go under your foundation to make your foundation last longer as well as give your skin a little pick me up. Typically I'm not a huge fan of primers due to the fact that I have oily skin and at times primers can just make that a thousand times worse, but I was excited to see this because Pixi beauty is well-known for having great products and I'm excited to see how this holds up!
I received a sample of the bareMinerals marvelous Moxie lipstick in the shade get ready. I'll admit the sample is a tad bit on the small side, but considering that the lipstick itself is rather pricey and that they also threw in a coupon it's not too shabby for a $10 beauty subscription:)
The lipstick, which I have swatched above, is a lovely natural berry shade which is one of my favorite colors to wear since it is neutral, but still gives you a pop of color.
I also received a Chella beauty eyeliner pen in the shade Indigo Blue. This pen is a felt tipped liner pen which is perfect if you not only love to line your eyes, but also if you are a fan of winged liner like I am:) the tip on the pen is slender and pretty flexible which will give you a fair amount of control when applying.
The color is bright, but still wearable. Here the color looks a little brighter due to the light, but I think it shouldn't be too bad to wear. I think it'll add a cute little pop of color to your makeup without going all out on the eye makeup. I tested it a bit and it doesn't seem to rub off easily, but obviously I need to fully test it out in the field:)
For me, the real "prize-winner" for this month's bag was the NYX Love in Rio trio.
The trio is in the color "Barefoot in the sand" and contains a lovely selection of neutral colors. I , being a huge fan of neutrals, love receiving colors like this as they are the ones that I usually tend to gravitate towards for my everyday makeup. I was also excited because I am a huge fan of NYX and I have a couple other palattes from the same line which I already love. These trios retail for about $6.99 so I would say that it made the bag well worth it.
Overall, I would say that I am fairly content with this month's bag, and with my Ipsy experience this far. I am excited to try out these products and to see what is coming next month:)
