april 2018 ipsy bag!

hey guys! my april IPSY BAG* (theme: social butterfly) arrived this week and i decided to go ahead and get this post up because i'm only keeping one item.... ~Lindsay

1. meech and mia shadow in copper -- this is a really pretty loose shadow. i'll need some more time to actually test it on the eyes, but swatching it is really nice. i think i'd consider this more of a golden orange than a rusty red-orange kind of color though
• repurchase: nah
2. delectable by cake beauty triple moisture body lotion in coconut & cream -- i'm not a fan of the scent or feel of this lotion. the scent is sort of your typical beachy coconutty type of scent, but not..? i guess that's where the cream comes in? either way, using a bit of this on my hand, i didn't like how watery it felt, and it took a bit to fully sink in. my hand does feel relatively softer but not enough for me to keep this and spread this all over.
• repurchase: no
3. trust fund beauty that liquid glo tho liquid highlighter -- this is not a liquid product. as you can see how much i had to squeeze the tube, this is more of a cream consistency. i meant to re-swatch it for the photo, but this is more of a micro shimmer than like a lit from within glow. i think this product is more of a personal taste kind of thing, as this is really pretty from a distance, but i just don't want to deal with it being a liquid/cream product and the shimmer particles.
• repurchase: no
4. h2o+ beauty oasis hydrating treatment -- this is a blue gel facial moisturizer, and it has a slight scent to it. i can't really place it, but it has a water-like "fresh" scent to it. while the scent isn't terribly strong, i am not a fan enough of to slather over my face. i'm also not up for trying new things on my face until it stops freaking out.
• repurchase: no
5. nyx cosmetics soft matte lip cream in istanbul -- i'm going to pass this one along. i had a few of these way back and never really used them regularly. i can't remember really how i felt about them, but i want to say they had a vanilla type scent, and only lasted on the lips maybe a few hours or so.
• repurchase: nah
6. butterfly ipsy bag -- i really like this bag design. it's a printed pleather with rose gold accents, and the back is like a darkened lavender type color.
