march 2015 ipsy bag

hi guys! it's march IPSY BAG* time!! (theme: floral fantasy) it only took usps for. freaking. ever. to deliver this. for some reason they thought that louisiana and north carolina were the same place. uhh. no. anyway, it's ok because i got it in the mail today and there won't be a further delay in my making this post....and no i didn't really mean to rhyme there, it just came out like that... >.< ... ~Lin-chan ^.~

anyway! here's my impressions:

1. nyx butter lipstick in hunk (.16oz--full size, ret. $6) -- relative to pops, which i already have and enjoy, this one definitely shows any dry patches i may have (as shown in photo; this is probably because pops is pretty close to my natural lip color, and this isn't). otherwise, this is a really nice color. it's kinda sad that it was melty and stuff when we got it from the mailbox....like buttuh!
• likelihood to repurchase: nah
2. pur-lisse pur-delicate gentle soymilk cleanser & makeup remover (1oz--mini, ret. $36 for 5.6oz [$6.43]) -- for a facial wash of sorts, this smells like a light sunscreen scent to me. idk. i'll try it out and report back, but i'm not sure about this one.
• likelihood to repurchase: no
3. boo-boo cover-up concealer in medium (.13oz--mini, ret. $20 for .34oz [$7.65]) -- i'm going to have to pass this off to T, this is way too dark and slightly orange for me. coverage and consistency wise, this seems pretty full-cover and a happy gelly-medium between thick and liquid.
• likelihood to repurchase: nah
4. dr. brand pores no more anti-aging mattifying lotion (.26oz--mini, ret. $60 for 1.7oz [$9.18]) -- not too happy about this one, considering i'm not a huge fan of their regular one...and i said so on my profile. so wtf. ...anyway, the scent is very strange, it's like an aromatherapy scent. it goes on very wet feeling and then dries down to a kind of but not really matte. i don't really see a difference on my hand.
• likelihood to repurchase: no
5. vintage by jessica liebeskind illuminating face highlighter (.07oz--mini, ret. $26 for ??oz) -- this is so pretteh. omg. the texture is reminiscent of lorac shadows, nice and buttery. and i think i'd prefer this as an inner corner highlight than a face highlight because it's slightly too pink for me, but i'll try and make it work.
• likelihood to repurchase: maybe
6. floral ipsy bag -- ish really pretteh and water-color-y and blue! the backside is a slightly darker, solid blue.
