april 2016 ipsy bag

hi guys! it's been just over a week, since got my april IPSY BAG* (theme: dreamers) ...but i've been really busy this week with work and hadn't had a chance to post about it. sorries! ~Lin-chan ^.~

here's my impressions:

1. buxom wildly whipped lightweight liquid lipstick in centerfold (.08oz--mini, ret. $21 for .16oz [$10.50]) -- this is a really nice shade. it does take a little bit of work to apply and it fades pretty gracefully.
• likelihood to repurchase: probably not, for the sake of my stash
2. nudestix lip + cheek pencil in mystic (.088oz--mini, ret. $24 for .05oz [$42.24]) -- first confusing thing about this, just to get it out of the way---why does this sample contain more product than a full size of this product??????? otherwise, this is a really nice shade for the lips. not so sure how i feel about using it on the cheeks, but yeah.
• likelihood to repurchase: maybe
3. l.a.b.² - live and breathe beauty just blending in brush (full size, ret. $7) -- this is a really fluffy, flexible brush. not stiff enough for my needs in the crease, but definitely feels like it'd be great for blending away any harsh lines.
• likelihood to repurchase: undecided
4. ren evercalm global protection day cream (1.02oz--mini, ret. $45 for 1.7oz [$27]) -- i wonder if this is called evercalm because of the light aromatherapeutic scent it has..and maybe calming properties for the skin..? anyway, i'm interested in giving this a shot, and the scent's light enough that it'd probably wouldn't be noticable after a short while.
• likelihood to repurchase: probably not
5. pur-lisse blue lotus + white tea sheet mask & blue lotus + seaweed sheet mask (2 masks--ret. $36 for 6 [$12]) -- i'm definitely excited to try these out! ya know, try all of the sheet masks!
• likelihood to repurchase: probably not for the price
6. ipsy bag -- i love the watercolor-y wilderness-ness of it!
