This month Ipsy has a "Pretty in Pink" theme for spring. The bag is white with pink around the zipper and white and pink stripes inside.
What I got in my Ipsy bag-
Be a Bombshell Cosmetics blush in Beach Please(.17oz) It is full size which is awesome. It's a pretty bright pink and a little goes a long way. It's really pigmented and it's a fun spring/summer color. This is the only blush I've been using since I got this bag.
Sation Nail Lacquer in Love at First Byte (.50oz) Another full size product! It is a very sheer peachy pink color. It's not a color I would have picked for myself but I will try it out next time I do my nails.
Mica Beauty Mineral Eyeshadow in Earth (2.0g) This is almost full size a full size eyeshadow is 2.5g. The color is gorgeous it's a pink and gold shimmer. I love it and I'm very excited to try it out.
Big Sexy Hair Powder Play (.07oz) This is a really good size, full size is .53 oz. This is a volumizing and texturizing powder that you use on your roots for lift. I have always wanted to try this and I have loved every other Big Sexy Hair product I've used so I'm sure I will love this one too.
The bag also came with a coupon code to get a discount ticket to the Generation Beauty event at LA Live the first weekend of June.
Overall I am very happy with this months Ipsy bag. It definitely made up for last month.
Now onto Birchbox. This month Birchbox had a "Tiny Tweaks Big Results" theme. They teamed up with Women's Health magazine to create this months boxes.
What I got in my Birchbox-
Orbie Shampoo and Conditioner for Beautiful Color (.23oz each) These came in foil packets but they sent me two of each so that sort of makes up for it. I have not tried them yet because I am still using the Nick Chavez color shampoo I got in last months box.
Skin & Co Roma Sicilian Body Gel (2oz) It's a really good size sample. The scent of this stays on your skin after you wash it off. This would usually be a good thing but this stuff smells horrible. It smells exactly like men's shaving cream. I will not be using this product at all.
Supergoop! Daily Correct SPF 35 CC Cream (3ml) I got this in the light to medium shade and it says it's self adjusting shade. I tried a little on my hand and it doesn't seem too greasy. I will try it out and see how it does on my face.
StriVectin-SD Eye Concentrate for Wrinkles (.25 oz) This is a two week supply which is really nice. I keep meaning to really try this but I am horrible at remembering to use products like this regularly. Hopefully I can get myself to use it twice a day every day to see if it works.
Hail Merry Chocolate Macaroons (2 macaroons) These are raw, vegan, gluten-free, and made with natural non-GMO ingredients. These are also disgusting. I have a friend who also got these in her birchbox and she liked them. I'm just not into the whole vegan gluten-free thing.
Since Birchbox teamed up with Women's Health to create this months box it also came with a card to send in for a free year subscription to the magazine. If you don't want to get the magazine you can mail the card back with the original Birchbox subscription confirmation and they will send you a $9.99 rebate.
Overall I'm not too disappointed with this months box. The only real let downs are the body gel and the macaroons. I honestly wasn't expecting much from the macaroons though.
This months winner-Ipsy.
