july 2016 ipsy bag

hi guys! i've neglected posting about it until now, but on friday i got my july IPSY BAG*! (theme: hot summer nights) ~Lin-chan ^.~
here's my impressions:
  1. elizabeth mott show me your cheeks blush in peach pink (2.5g--mini, ret. $23 for 5g [$11.50]) -- this is a super sheer version of nars orgasm. like almost just a highlighter more than a blush, unless you go super heavy with it to make it show up.
    • likelihood to repurchase: probably not
  2. trust fund beauty nail polish in no filter (17ml--full size, ret. $15) -- applying this, i was super impressed with how it was one coat and go, and it quickly self-leveled. this shade however looks like death on my skintone. so this is going to get passed along.
    • likelihood to repurchase: not this shade
      • theBalm meet matt(e)trimony eyeshadow in matt kumar (.5g--mini, ret. $42 for palette (21.6g) [$0.98]) -- at first, i wasn't too sure about this one, but it's actually really pretty paired with peachy shades (like makeup geek purely naked).
        • likelihood to repurchase: probably not, i have too many palettes
      • befine night cream (1oz--mini?, ret. $20? [$10 for .5oz]) -- the scent of this is super weird. like i can definitely tell that it's a rice type scent, but millet...i'm not totally sure.. granted, when i had birds, i never sniffed their food, lol! the cream itself is relatively light and feels nice, but i'm not sure why this is considered a night cream, but whatever.
        • likelihood to repurchase: probably not
      • model launcher cosmetics felt tip eyeliner in emerald isle (.33oz--full size, ret. $13) -- i'm not sure that this would be opaque enough for my liking, but it seems like it might be a good liner.
        • likelihood to repurchase: probably not
      • points freebie: kiesque liquid palisade (.08oz--full size, ret. $14) -- i got this uncertain about how well it works considering some of the poor reviews on sephora. but hey, it was 'free', so why not? you do need to shake this before applying, and it's fairly thin. applying it was kind of annoying, but peeling it off was super satisfying and clean. so i'm interested in trying similar products to this. if i use this regularly, i'm not sure how long it'd last. also, based on the sephora reviews, people were mentioning that these dried out pretty fast, to make sure you seal it propery.
        • likelihood to repurchase? maybe, or other similar products
      • holographic beach umbrella ipsy bag -- so when they first released photos of this bag..i definitely thought of peppermints with shadows...not an umbrella. but either way, it's cute.
