April Ipsy Bag - Pretty In Pink

this month i received my first ipsy bag. what a horrible month for me to get my first bag, the theme was pretty in pink... i hate the color pink. but for this little review i'm going to look past all that. first thing i noticed was there was no note card that tells me what the products are, i'm not an idiot so i can figure it out myself but one think i did like about birchbox is it had a card saying what the product is how much it was and what its used for. i'm pretty sure i didnt get the right bag because i have seen everyones bag is white and pink but i really dont mind because i love the color blue and i would actually use this bag. in my bag i got:
  • sation nail polish in "of corset i'll call you"
  • sexy hair soy renewal
  • MICAbeauty mineral eyeshadow in earth 
  • be a bombshell blush in beach please
sation nail polish is an opaque creamy light rose pink. like i have said i dont like the color pink so i will probably never use this but i know people in my family will and they will really like it. i was really happy to get the sexy hair soy renewal, i know i'm going to be ombre-ing my hair again and i have always wanted to try something with moroccan argan oil in. it is a pretty decent travel size so i'm really happy with this product. i'm also really pleased with getting the micabeauty mineral eyeshadow rather than the duo eyeshadows. before getting into beauty all i wore was mineral eyeshadows, i'm really pleased with this color as well. its a shimmery pink champagne pink, kind of reminds me of mac all that glitters which i love! so i know i will really enjoy this product, it also looks like it could be a nice highlight color once i'm really tan this summer! finally the be a bombshell blush.... its. so. pink. its a bright matte pink color, looks like something i will never wear but maybe once i get a tan i will try it but right now on my casper skin i dont think i'll be trying it. 

my overall thoughts about ipsy, i kind of love it. although i don't like the color pink i do love the size and type of products i received! before i even got my first bag i cancelled my subscription because i don't have enough money to keep these subscriptions up... but i am contemplating subscribing again already. i forgot how much i love receiving bags in the mail with new products. i know for a fact if i do want to do a subscription box/bag i will be going back to ipsy rather than birchbox. 

can i just say that the ipsy bag come in the brightest pink packaging bag i have ever seen! you wouldn't skip over this package in the mail room!
