august 2016 ipsy bag!

hi guys! i'm super surprised that my august IPSY BAG* has arrived so fast! (theme: sugar highness) i got the tracking email yesterday and it said it'd come friday.... yeah. freaking awesome. ~Lin-chan ^.~

here's my impressions:

1. ciaté london paint pot in dangerous affair (13.5ml--full size, ret. $17) -- i'm not a red person, but i really likes it. only issue is that it's a little patchy and doesn't self-level quite well enough for me. maybe i wasn't being careful enough? either way, i likes it so far!
• likelihood to repurchase: maybe other shades
2. it cosmetics no tug waterproof  gel eyeliner (.012oz--mini, ret. $22 for .017oz [$15.53]) -- so despite its sharpenable appearance, this is a twist up pencil, no sharpening. this glides on super smooth and super black. but it doesn't seem like it'll last for very long. waiting a few minutes after applying it to my hand, it rubs and smears away very easily... idk about this one either guys. 
• likelihood to repurchase: nah
3. peter lamas supreme radiance complexion booster (.34oz--mini, ret. $44 for 1oz [$14.96]) -- what is this? it smells so weird--like expired foundation or something, has a dark tint, blends away to almost nothing and has a soft and silky feel. i'm very confused, but i can't see people buying this. no way.
• likelihood to repurchase: no
4. winky lux diamond complexion powder in light (3g--mini, ret. $20 for 8.5g [$7.06]) -- ish sho tiny! it does seem to have a little color, but blends out pretty smoothly. i'll have to give this a go.
• likelihood to repurchase: probably not
5. this works in transit camera close-up (20ml--mini, ret. $55 for 40ml [$27.50]) -- first off: what's with this scent?? it's like herby floral bleh. and i don't want it on my face. secondly, it only feels ok. i'm not so sure how this'll be as a primer, it's only a little moisturizing..not really.. and a mask? idk about that-a one.
• likelihood to repurchase: no
6. blue michelle phan's drawing ipsy bag -- it's cute i guess? i'm really confused by the random strand of hair across the mouth..but whatever. it's pretty and i like the colors.
