october 2016 ipsy bag!

hi guys! i'm super excited about my october IPSY BAG*! (theme: black magic) which has a lot of stuff to try! since i got this bag on friday, i decided to test everything out on saturday! ~Lin-chan ^.~

here's my impressions:

1. makeup forever ultra hd invisible cover foundation in Y225 (5ml--mini, ret. $43 for 1.01oz [$7.20]) -- i actually already had a sample of this foundation prior, in this shade and it's ok. it's a bit too light for my skin, but the right tone. nothing a little bronzer can't fix. but i'm not sure i'd buy the full size though considering the cost and that i have an inexpensive drugstore foundation that i already like!
• likelihood to repurchase: maybe
2. kokie cosmetics nail polish in heavenly (16ml--full size, ret. $6) -- i like how this has a slightly wider, pinched brush. it made application a lot easier than most polishes. the only issue i have is the color, which i don't think goes very well with my skintone. it's not death like some in the past, but it's still like that pastel lilac not good on my asian, yellow-white skintone.
• likelihood to repurchase: probably not
3. pure brazilian leave in miracle (1oz--mini, ret. $6) -- this stuff was only ok. i sprayed it a few times into damp hair and brushed it through. my hair didn't really feel anything special from using it, and the scent was a bit weird but bearable and didn't linger.
• likelihood to repurchase: no
4. essence cosmetics superfine eyeliner pen waterproof  (.3oz--full size, ret. $2.99) -- this is a nice black liner. the felt tip is super long and stiff. and that's about as much positive things i can say about it. now the negative, it burned and irritated my skin when i was applying it and for maybe a minute or two afterward. a couple hours later, my eyes watered and it somewhat gracefully came off... BUT THIS LINER IS SUPPOSED TO BE WATERPROOF. tears, water. sooo different.
• likelihood to repurchase: NO
5. teeez cosmetics eve's ready to wear lipstick in romantic red (3.5g--full size, ret. $22) -- this is a very nice formula. super comfortable on the lips and stains a bit. i'm not totally into the shade, but it's pretty nice. looove the retro photos on the packaging, super cute!
• likelihood to repurchase: other shades
6. halloween themed ipsy bag -- the drawings on here are super cute!
