The theme for this month’s Ipsy bag is Beauty Rocks!
All the products from this month’s bag.
Elizabeth Mott pop! goes the shadow in the shade Champagne
What Ipsy says: The Elizabeth Mott pop! goes the eyeshadow is the ultimate eyeshadow that’s long lasting, easy to apply, and effortlessly blends. Buildable colors will take you from subtle highlights to dramatic smokey eyes. With pop! goes the shadow, eye shadow creasing is a thing of the past. Get ready to try the eye shadow that will change your life!
What I say: This eyeshadow is a beautiful color, and it felt very creamy when I swatched it. I’m looking forward to trying it out later today both on my lid or as a highlight.

Starlooks Luscious Longwear Lip Pencil in the shade Naked
What Ipsy says: Starlooks’ Luscious, Longwear, Matte Lip Liner formula contains a Kiss-Off Resistant polymer that, when worn alone or in combination with a matte lipstick, offers an incredible 8 hour wear – with little no need for touch-up or re-application. Comes in one, brilliant shade of nude for all skin tones!
What I say: This is a full-size product, which is awesome, and it seems pretty longwearing. I swatched it on my hand and then tried to scrub it off, and a lot of came off but some product still remained, so hopefully that’s a good sign of how long it will wear on my lips. It’s a little orangey for me, but maybe I’ll think differently once I actually use it on my lips.
dr. brandt® microdermabrasion skin exfoliant
What Ipsy says: The dr. brandt® microdermabrasion gently sweeps away dead skin cells and softens skin texture, which enables better absorption of skincare products and helps diminish the appearance of fine lines, acne marks, and skin discolorations. A great at home alternative to professional clinical treatments. Safe to use for all skin types. For best results use with dr. brandt® skincare products.
What I say: I’ve never tried anything from dr. brandt before because it’s a fairly expensive brand, but I’m looking forward to trying this. I love trying new skincare products, but microdermabrasion products make me nervous in case they’re too harsh on my skin. We’ll see what happens!
Medium Shadow Brush from Coastal Scents
What Ipsy says: The Coastal Scents Shadow Brush is a medium sized brush made out of natural fibers that is wide in shape and condensed to allow an even distribution of eyeshadow on the lid. This professional cosmetic brush can be used for shading the crease and highlighting the brow bone with complete precision.
What I say: I’ve never tried brushes from this brand before, but I’ll definitely look into it now because this brush is very nice! It looks like the perfect size brush for blending shadows on my eye, and I’m excited to put it to good use.
Urban Decay 24/7 Velvet Glide-On Eye Pencil Travel Size in the shade Black Velvet
What Ipsy says: A must for smoky-eye fanatics: an ultra-plush version of UD’s creamy, waterproof 24/7 formula. Create perfectly blended-out or rich, precise lines that are blacker-than-black.
What I say: I love pretty much anything from Urban Decay, so I can’t wait to try it out! This one has great staying power as well because I tried to rub it off about 15 seconds after I applied it, and a good amount of product still remained.
