Ipsy Glam Bag April 2014

Tonight, I'm finally sharing this month's Ipsy bag!

April Glam Bag

I love the deep purple color and style of this month's bag.

 

This month's theme is Beauty Rocks!

 

Urban Decay 24/7 Velvet Glide-On Eye Pencil 

Deluxe Size (0.03 oz)-$15.00 Value!

 

 

Everyone received this brand new eyeliner from Urban Decay! I already got one of these free with a recent Urban Decay order (which I still have to get around to posting), but I'm happy to have another. Urban Decay is my favorite cosmetic brand and you know how much I love my eyeliners!

 

Black Velvet

Rainbow Honey Nail Polish

Deluxe Size (5 ml)-$3.33 Value!

 

Midnight Fountain

 This was a variation item. You could have instead received City Color Cosmetics White Gold Shadow & Highlighter Mousse or Elizabeth Mott Pop! Goes the Eyeshadow in Champagne. I was so happy I got the nail polish since I can never have too many! The color is just gorgeous-these pictures don't do it justice! But unfortunately it peeled pretty easily, so I probably wouldn't go out and buy a polish from this brand. But I'm still open to trying another polish from this line if I got it in a future subscription box.

 

Dr. Brandt Microdermabrasion

Deluxe Size (0.25 oz)-$9.75 Value!

This was another variation item. Others received Benefit Lollitint, St Tropez Gradual Tan Plus Anti-Aging Mult-Action Face, or Cover FX Mattifying Primer with Anti-Acne Treatment. I'm not a big fan of this brand, so I wasn't excited to get this in my bag. But I might end up trying this out because I really love scrubs.

 

Mary Kay At Play Jelly Lip Gloss (Berry Me)

Full Size (0.32 fl oz)-$10.00 Value!

Some Ipsters got this in Teddy Bare. Others received Cailyn Tinted Lip Balm in Acid Pink or Apple Pink or Starlooks Longwear Lip Pencil in Naked. I was disappointed to get this product since I was a Mary  Kay Independent Beauty Consultant for 6 years, and have been looking to try new brands with this beauty subscription service. I'm not saying this is a bad product, I'm just not super excited about it and will probably be passing it along. I was really hoping to get the Cailyn Tinted Lip Balm in Acid Pink, but would have been happy to even get the Starlooks lip pencil since I'm a fan of their eyeliners.

 

Sexy Hair Root Pump Volumizing Spray Mousse

Deluxe Size (1.6 oz)-$6.00 Value!

This was one of the another group of variation products. You could have instead received So Seductive Such a Tease Lashes, Demeter Jasmine Perfume Oil Roll On, Coastal Scents Medium Shadow Brush, or KISS Looks So Natural Lashes in Shy, Pretty, Flirty, Sultry, or Vamp. I loved all the products I've tried from this brand so far, so I was excited to see this in my bag! I'm always looking for volumizing products for my fine hair, so I can't wait to try this product out.
I hope it really does give me big sexy hair!!

Total Paid: $10.00
Total Value: $44.08!

 

This was a mixed bag for me. While it was a high valued bag, I didn't like a couple of the items inside. Still, I got more than my ten dollars worth, so I can't really complain!

 

If you'd like to sign up for Ipsy, I'd love it if you'd use my referral link!

By doing so I can earn credit towards receiving an additional product in my bag to review!

 



Urban Decay Book Of Shadows Vol. IV Redux

I  had ordered the Urban Decay Book of Shadows Vol. IV Redux in my last ULTA order, but it arrived with the mirror completely shattered. I went to my local ULTA to see if I could exchange it, but they didn't have any in stock. So since I had to order it on Ulta.com, I picked up a few other things!

 

Urban Decay Book Of Shadows Vol. IV Redux

Retail $32.00

This palette is a Limited-Edition remix of the original Book of Shadows Vol IV. Since I missed out on the original and now have been collecting UD palettes, I had to pick this up!

This palette comes with 16 Eye Shadows, 24/7 Waterproof Liquid Eyeliner, Supercurl Curling Mascara, Eye Shadow Primer Potion, and Portable Speaker!

I also picked up some nail essentials!

I am in love with the Indigo shade-I call it my Frozen eyeliner because I love Elsa in the movie Frozen so much! I am so excited to create some icy looks with this liner!

Free Sample: Versace Yellow Diamond

I was suppose to get 3 samples, but only received one. But I didn't complain since I figured I lucked out getting the GWP with my last order.

Which is your favorite Volume of the Book Of Shadows?

 

Urban Decay Shattered Face Case

Hey Mermaids! As you all know I do a lot of my beauty shopping at Sephora, but today I actually have an ULTA purchase to show you! I picked up the Urban Decay Shattered Face Case!

 

 

Urban Decay Shattered Face Case

Retail $44.00 on sale for $29.00!

I wasn't originally planning on getting this since I already picked up the Anarchy Face Case. But I love the other one so much, I knew I'd equally like this one. Plus, my sister pointed out that this one was on sale! And you know me, I do love a sale!!

Urban Decay Book of Shadows Vol. IV Redux

 

I originally purchased this with this order, which put me over $40 to qualify to get the free GWP. However it arrived broken upon receipt. Since ULTA didn't have any left in the store in which to exchange, I had to return it and reorder it online. I will be showing it with my next ULTA purchase.

I like that the Shattered Face Case has more new and exclusive shades compared to the Anarchy Face Case. But I love the design of the packaging of the Anarchy Face Case more. It is so hard to choose a favorite!!

What do you think of the Shattered Face Case?
Do you prefer it to the Anarchy Face Case?
