The theme for the April 2015 ipsy Glam Bag is Flower Power. I’ve said it before but I think the bag this month really is my all time favorite bag. And I’m not talking about the contents, I mean the actual bag!
This month the bag is straw with black, blue, pink, tan and white fabric woven through. Perfect for keeping in a beach bag or pool bag, or even to use as a small clutch on the boardwalk!
What’s inside?
From LATHER, Ultra Light Face Lotion. I love the LATHER Lip Balms and this is right on par with that fabulousness. A lovely lotion for day time and it smells good too!
From theBalm Cosmetics, NUDE Dude Eyeshadow Single. The shade I got is in Flirty and it’s a shimmering golden violet. Beyond all things gorgeous. I’ve always been a huge fan of products from theBalm and this shadow is right on par with what I’ve come to expect from the brand. Pigmented and easy to apply an blend. One of my fave items in this bag!
From Mullein & Sparrow, Mini Lip & Cheek Tint. There isn’t much of a tint to this one and I found it to be okay on the lips and pretty worthless on my cheeks. It smells okay but overall this one isn’t anything to write home about.
From MicaBeauty, Eye Primer. This was really awful, I couldn’t even use it. The formula was incredibly dry and difficult to apply and blend.
From Hikari Cosmetics, Blush in Tango. A beautiful and vibrant peachy pink shade. Super pigmented and soft. It’s also a generous, full-size making it one of my fave items in this month’s bag!
I was only half-impressed with this months bag. My fave products were the eyeshadow I got from theBalm and the blush from Hikari. I was definitely happy to add another LATHER product to my arsenal also, but the other two items are basically throw-aways. The $10 was still worth it, the blush definitely got us there.
Ipsy has profile pages, so here is mine. There is also a pretty decent referral program in place. You refer friends and redeem points to get a sweet little bonus in your next bag (use the points to choose your own!). I’ve gotten some really fab full sized products but definitely read the description because some of them are a lot of points for just a sample size. Previous bonuses have been from NYX, Tarte, Revlon and more! Note: These points DO expire. I didn’t know that until recently when I was logged in and noticed my point total… I left for dinner and came back and it was 300 points less. I wish I’d have known that ahead of time so I could have spent them, but hopefully this message will help you out so you don’t lose your points!

That blush is gorgeous, isn’t it? I really like the Mica Beauty primer. It works really well for me and my skin.

I got the lip and cheek stain too, and I hate it! There’s no color to it at all and it feels like a Blistex lip balm. I got a nail polish in mine, but I gave that to my niece, since I wear acrylics. The bag is cute; however, I’m almost to the point where if Ipsy doesn’t step their game up soon, I’m canceling my subscription, since I’ve had it for almost a year and now I’m starting to get the same products over and over again.
I saw one girls back and it was SO killer. She got a Too Faced Melted lippie, theBalm shadow, dry shampoo, a nail polish and then some other thing. It was seriously my personal dream bag lol
I love the pigment on that blush!

Interesting – I actually really liked the eye primer! I found that I had to warm it up between my fingers for a few seconds before applying it, but it stayed put all day, which I loved.

My bag is still on it’s way… I was hoping it was going to be in todays mail, but nope. Sigh. I love the little bag though and it is one of the cuter ones I’ve seen. I hope I get that eyeshadow too. I never peek at the bag online because it’s fun to discover what I recieved. I do like to see what others got and make my little wishlist in the hopes I will get the things I like too. So.. I hope that shadow is in my little pink pouch this month. As much as I don’t need it and have blush overload as it is, I sort of hope that I get the blush too.
I’ve seen quite a few with the shadow so hopefully it’s there for you!! I’m impatient I’m always looking for reviews before mine come haha
