here's my impressions:
- beau gachis illuminator brush -- this is a really soft brush! i think this is the perfect size for highlight or under-eye powdering.
- likelihood to repurchase: maybe
- ciate london wonderwand gel-kohl hybrid liner in black -- so this is a very interesting liner. on the other end is an angled brush.. not a sponge tip or smudger, but an angled brush.. interesting. otherwise, the product itself is a no-go for me. as seen in my swatch, i made a single sorta straight line with one pass and it bled that much. i don't think so. also, after taking the photos, i rubbed at it to see if it had set or not after maybe 5 minutes, and it did not. it did however stain my arm to the point where it was difficult to remove, but i guess that's a pro for some people. anyway, since it was so smudgy and bled upon application, i don't think so.
- likelihood to repurchase: no
- ofra eyeshadow in gold rush -- this is a pretty gold. and i like ofra's formulas.
- likelihood to repurchase: maybe other shades
- trifle cosmetics raspberry ripple blush trio -- why is this thing so microscopic? i mean, i get that it's a sample, but i'd rather one of these three blushes in this size compact than 3 tiny, eyeshadow-sized pans to not even attempt to put a blush brush into. just saying. formula and product-wise, i think this is a pass. i'm not huge on these colors personally, and they applied only ok. swatches below were two passes over both the product and my arm.
- looking at their website, this is full size. who in their right mind would willingly pay $18 for this thing?!
- likelihood to repurchase: no
- hempz ultra moisturizing herbal lip balm -- i haven't tried anything from this brand before, but i've heard good things about their body lotions! this is a very nice, light lip balm. it has a slight tea-like scent to it and glides on nicely. it's not sticky, and feels just right!
- likelihood to repurchase: maybe
- gudetama ipsy bag -- (gude gude = lazy, tamago = egg) omg. who else remembers going to the mall and going to the sanrio store?! i love their characters and gudetama is no exception! btw, i didn't photograph the bag of the bag, but lolz at gude-butt.
- side note, anyone else remember last year's new character Aggretsuko? love her too!
- who else loves the gold mailer?!
- they also included a booklet advertising ipsy cash which is some sort of cash back program. i haven't looked further into it yet since i'm not sure if i want to do it yet or not.
