May Ipsy unbagging!

Got my ipsy bag a few days ago and super excited about what I got! I know this is late in the month, but I wanted to get it up anyways.  I just took my last unit test ever in school so I have some free time!!

 Lets get right into it.....


Here is the bag, I did get it, I Promise!  I just can't find it???  

Super cute "Earthy" felling bag.  Made from a muslin like fabric with bright green ink.

Here's what was in that super cute bag:





First up is a SPF 50 sunscreen
Hang Ten Clasic Sport Natural Sunscreen UVA/UVB Broad Spectrum Protection


It says this is water resistant for up to 80 minutes and is described as:

Protect and nourish your skin with our non-greasy , lightweight, naturally scented sunscreen.  Provides maximum water resistance and full body coverage against harmful UVA/UVB rays.  
Oxybenzone free, paraben free, retinyl palmitate free, non-greasy, non-nano, synthetic fragrance free. 
This does have that "normal" sunscreen smell, synthetic or not.  It is a thinner consistency than other sunscreens I have used and it did leave a greasy feeling where I put it to try it out, just not as greasy as a normal sunscreen.  


Next is a facial moisturizer that I Love:

pur-lisse pur moist hydra-balance moisturizer for normal-dry skin
I have been using this since the day I got the bag morning and night.  I already have a holy grail lotion for my face (and body) by First Aid Beauty.  But I figured I would give this one a try, and I really really like it.  This lotion is not heavy at all.  It sinks in to my skin and just makes it feel so moisturized.  I would love to purchase the full size, but it's a little bit pricey for me at $55.00 for only 1.7oz.  You can check it out here on their website.  We did get a discount code with ipsy, but my First Aid Beauty is $28.00 for 6 oz so I can't really justify the purchase.  Here's a link to that one too.  It says it's for crazy dry, ezcema ravaged skin, but it truly works for normal types too (and doesn't break me out at all).  It's like the CeraVe at the drugstore, but not greasy at all - more of a whipped texture.  

Next up is a face mask that I DID order a full size in - it's that good:

Hey Honey take it off, exfoliating honey peel off mask
I have never used a peel off mask in my life and really didn't even know what it was when I pulled it out of the bag.  The first time I used it, I was hooked.  My skin felt so smooth and rejuvenated afterwards.   It doesn't take much and I can probably get 3 uses out of the sample, but I was afraid to run out so I ordered a full size from their website.  You can check it out here.  I use it about once a week at night (I'm not totally sure how often you are supposed to use it).  Seriously, just check it out!  I am seriously considering trying more products from them because this one is just so good!

Now for an eye shadow duo:

Pacifica natural beauty in Duo 2

I was hoping I got this shade when I peeked on Ipsy's website for a preview.  This brand is 100% Vegan and Cruelty Free.  I just tried to locate this item on their website but can't find it.  While I do like the colors, the color payoff isn't amazing without a primer.....


The color on the left is sort of a dusty purple that isn't quite matte, but not really satin either and the one on the right is a cream with hints of gold and a gold glitter.  This is good for me over a primer if I just want a light wash of color to run errands in or something.  

Last up is a brush:


Crown Brush: Chisel Shader, # C408

It has short stiff bristles, works great for smudging out the lower lash line or packing on color precisely on the lid.  Check it out here on their website. 

That's all for my May ipsy bag.   I had never heard of any of the brands and loved all of the items.  My standouts were the moisturizer (which I wish I could justify the price for the full size version), and the peel off mask - which I ordered immediately.  

Stay tuned this month for my Bulu box, Julep Maven box and maybe even some hauls!
