This month's theme is "Fresh Picks" and it is all about nature. The sneak peek pics had the products in various outdoor settings. The bag continues the theme with soft, natural fabric and a leafy, green print.
I'm loving this bag. The fabric is nice and the print is fun. The backside is just plain though.
The info card:
The reverse has the logos of the possible brands sampled in the bag, as well as details on how to win a one-year free ipsy subscription.
I wasn't super excited about this month based on the spoiler pics, but I peeked in my glam room and was actually pretty pleased.
Hang Ten
Classic Sport SPF 50
Sample size: 1 oz (Full size: $12.99)
"Protect and nourish your skin with our clear, lightweight, naturally scented sunscreen. Provides maximum water resistance and full body coverage against harmful UVA/UVB rays. Oxybenzone Free, Paraben Free, Retinyl Palmitate Free, Non-Greasy, Non-Nano, Synthetic Fragrance Free"
I am not much of a sunscreen user, so I debating adding this to the swap shop or bringing it to California with me next week. Decisions, decisions.
Pacifica
Mineral Eyeshadow Duo - Duo #1 (Celestial & Opal)
Full size sample! Sample size: 0.07 oz/ 2.0g (Full size: unknown - doesn't appear to be for sale)
"The Pacifica Mineral Eyeshadow Duo are coconut infused mineral eye shadows that are a perfect addition to any makeup collection. Packaged in a beautiful travel ready recyclable container, these exclusive duos are customized just for ipsy! These shades can be found in the Pacifica Mystical and Charmed Palette. Smooth application with gorgeous color pay-off."
As you can see in the picture, my duo arrived damaged. It is just one mess if dust. I emailed ipsy, so I am hoping they send a replacement. I received Duo #1, but I really wanted #2. Maybe I'll get that one when they re-send. I purposely didn't mention which color I received, but I did send a photo. I was really excited about this product too.
Avène
Thermal Spring Water
Sample size: 1.76 oz (Full size: $18)
Spray onto the skin in a fine mist. May leave on for 2 to 3 minutes, and then gently pat dry. Ideal for use after cleansing, shaving, exercise, sun, to soothe diaper rash and set make-up to help keep it fresher looking longer."
I am oddly excited about this product, and am looking forward to trying it out. We are having a hot, sunny week so I might bring this along to work tomorrow.
Nailtini
Nail polish - Bloody Mary
Full size sample! Sample size: 0.5 fl oz (Full size: $13)
"No makeup cabinet is complete without an all-star nail lacquer and Nailtini stocks top-shelf, 3-free nail lacquer in dozens of shades, textures and finishes. Wear them alone or layered to create custom looks and effects, each one a cocktail unto itself. Cheers to beauty, and as always, apply responsibly!"
My first Nailtini! This shade was one of four possible colors, and while it wouldn't have been my first choice I do like it. I may see if I can swap for another shade though.
pūr~lisse
pūr~moist hydra-balance moisturizer
Sample size: 0.5 oz (Full Size: $55)
"Achieve beautiful balance with the Pur-lisse pur~moist hydra balance moisturizer. Gently smooth over face day or night after cleansing and toning. Glides on like a gel and hydrates like a cream and never greasy. Hydates your skin to create a perfect canvas for makeup application. Dries down to a healthy glow."
I'm always on the lookout for a good moisturizer, so I am excited to give this a whirl.
Summary: damaged eyeshadow duo aside, I liked my samples this month. The value was good, and I received a good mix of the types of products sampled. I'll update once I hear back from ipsy's customer service.
