july 2014 ipsy bag

hi guys, so july's IPSY BAG* (theme: sensationally sunkissed) has arrived! ~Lin-chan ^.~

here's my impressions:

1. bare minerals 5-in-1 bb advanced performance cream eyeshadow in divine wine (.03oz--mini, ret. $18 for .1oz [$5.40]) -- yay bb eyeshadow! now we need bb body wash! anyway. this color looks like brown to me... but compared to their other shades (as it was shown on the card it was attached to), it's kinda purple toned...not really... would i call this shade "wine"? most certainly not. anyway more about how it actually performs, first impression, it dries matte--if that's your thing, but it sets really fast, so i don't feel like it'll be good enough to use as a base. used alone, it'd probably be ok, but this is too dark for my taste to use alone.
• likelihood to repurchase: undecided/maybe?
• update: on my skintone, if applied to the lids and blend it out, it actually looks kinda nice. it sheers out a bit and just looks like an effortless darkish brown one-shadow look. i'm not sure if i picked up some additional shimmer from my face somehow or if it actually has shimmer in it.. on my swatches yesterday, the first looked shimmery and the second was matte...but on my eyes, it's shimmery. i'm really baffled by this. i'll have to keep using it and update yall later.
2. be-fine daily moisturizer with spf 15 (1.5oz--deluxe, ret. $24 for 1.7oz [$21.18]) -- this is a white, light-textured moisturizer (similar consistency to clinique's ddm gel), but it reeks of coppertone sunblock to me. i'm sorry but that is not goin on mah face. i'm cool with most sunscreen scents, i actually rather that they don't smell like sunscreen, but if it straight up smells like coppertone kids--in the pink bottle--i ain't usin it.
• likelihood to repurchase: no
• will give this away
3. hang ten dark tanning oil (1oz--mini, ret. $11.99 for 8oz [$1.50]) -- i'm getting pretty annoyed with this beauty quiz thing. like what the eff. i do not want tanning stuff. period. why is there a quiz if they don't take our responses into account? and for the people who would like to know a *little* more about it, the scent is hard to describe. like it's not your usual coconutty beachy scent but idk... >.<
• likelihood to repurchase: NO!
• will give this away
4. pixi tinted brilliance balm in unique pink (1.8g--mini, ret. $14 for 2.83g [$8.90]) -- this is actually really nice. i've been iffy about their products but i really like this one. it has a minty scent and feels very emollient and nice. this is supposed to be one of those pH custom color shades and compared to others i've tried this one is is more muted, versus a stark pink; it looks like a sheer peachy shade on me. 
• likelihood to repurchase: maybe
5. wHet nail polish in facetious (10mL--full size, ret. $15) -- this is so pretty! surprisingly, i don't already have this shade of blue. it's a kind of sheer polish, it took 3 coats for my swatch. this is what i imagine barry m jelly polishes to be, since i haven't tried them yet.
• likelihood to repurchase: maybe for other colors
6. pink ipsy bag -- so cute! i love the rounded edges, it kinda reminds me of ravioli or something, lol!
