1. Ecru New York Beauty Balm for Hair: Smells great,leaves my hair feeling silky soft, doesn't weigh my hair down. It also does NOT leave or make my hair greasy. Makes flat ironing my hair a breeze. The wonderful scent did last all day long. And it did give my hair a very nice natural shine without looking or feeling greasy. I am surprised at how much i like this product.
2. Figs and Rogue Hand Cream: I did not like this at all! It is not moisturizing at all, feels watery when i apply. And the scent is a bit like child's antibiotic liquid medicine, which is that sweet smelling kind. Not happy with it.
3. City Color Be Matte Lipstick: Love the color! I got the color "M7" which is "Cappuccino" It is a nice neutral brownish color. Great for every day wear. I truly is matte. It does however feel a bit dry. But it does practically last all day which is good. Now, for that dry feeling, i just apply a bit of lip balm before applying the lipstick and remove the excess on a tissue, then apply the lipstick and i am good to go. I will post a picture of me wearing the lipstick. As you will see in the picture, it is very natural, yet still gives a pop of color. Now keep in mind, that my camera washes out much of the color. Also, this was also after me drinking my morning coffee/breakfast.
4. Skyn Iceland Cleansing Cloths: This item was very unexpected. Since the theme is "Beauty Candy" i thought i would be getting more makeup items than what i got. And these cleansing cloths.... well, i honestly don't know. They are just cleansing cloths. The only thing that stood out was that they smell a bit like cinnamon and also leaves a tingling sensation in the skin. Other than that, they clean like any other cleansing cloth in the market nothing outstanding about them... Ipsy, you are letting me down....
5. Doll 10 Highlighter color Champagne: The scent reminds me of a lip gloss i had as a child, somewhat like vanilla. It is in a creamy consistency. Very light. Too light actually. I can hardly tell i have it on. In order for it to even be noticeable i really have to pack it on. And i don't like how it applies on my skin. It seems to bring out every line in my skin.
Overall, as you can probable tell by now, i am not very happy with this month's bag. I think i will give this month's bag 2 stars out of 5. I really liked the hair BB cream by ECRU and i liked the City Color Be Matte Lipstick, but that was it. I was pretty disappointed with everything else. I will give Ipsy a few more months... if they items do not improve, i will be canceling :(
