december 2016 ipsy bag!

hi guys! my december IPSY BAG* (theme: carpe pm) arrived so fast, contrary to last month's bag. i literally received the tracking email two hours before my mailman delivered it. wut. anyway, i'm happy it got here and i get to try some new things!  ~Lin-chan ^.~

here's my impressions:

1. royal and langnickel moda angle shader brush (full size?, ret. $7.99 for 2 brush set [$4]) -- i don't typically like using this style of brush, but considering the quality of this brand and the other brushes i have from their moda line, i'll give it a try!
• likelihood to repurchase: probably not this brush, but others
2. marc anthony deep hydrating treatment (1.69oz--mini, ret. $2.99) -- hooray for deep conditioners! try all of them. the scent is interesting, kind of argan oil-y, but powdery..ish? i'm not sure. but i can't wait to try this!
• likelihood to repurchase: maybe
3. nyx prismatic eyeshadow in bedroom eyes (1.2g--full size, ret. $6) -- i'm passing this guy along, seeing as though i bought this shade just after they came out! i have a few other colors, and i really like the formula and pigmentation, no complaints!
• likelihood to repurchase: not this shade
4. tarte tartiest glossy lip paint in wcw (1ml--mini, ret. $20 for 6ml [$3.33]) -- there's a few things i really like about this gloss, and there's one major issue that i don't want to be bothered with. the bad: this color will need babysitting, i feel like it will very easily get outside of your lip lines. and it will transfer, but it's a gloss and that's what happens. the good: the color and pigmentation are awesome. i like how balmy and not sticky it feels, and blotting it away, there is a light stain left behind.
• likelihood to repurchase: not this formula
5. aurora intensively precise eyeliner blackberry (1ml--full size, ret. $12) -- i'm not really sure who came up with the color names for these..but this is black. when i think of blackberries, i tend to think of a more purply blue type of shade..not black. but that's beside the point. this seems to be a pretty nice liner, goes on a shiny dark black. i wish the felt tip on this was designed a bit differently though. the way that i apply my liner, i need the tip to be longer, but the part that holds the tip is so much chunkier than the tip itself, it loses some of the length that i'd rather have. i think if the plastic holder was more tapered, it be easier for me to use. on another note, the tip is pretty stiff and relatively easy to make a nice wing.
• likelihood to repurchase: probably not
6. shiny burgundy fuzzy ipsy bag -- this is a cute bag for gifting, or carrying around as a mini clutch.
