Ipsy: SideShow April Glam Bag 2017 ✿REVIEW✿

✿ ✿ ✿

Hello, kittens and welcome to Dripdrip! ♡

April's glam bag is a red-orange clutch shaped like a ticket. I honestly think this is such a pretty carnivalesque bag. I'm glad these monthly bags are improving both in quality and aesthetics! (Minus the February one). Also, I feel like the product selection is finally matching my needs. It took a while, but I'm finally not getting mascaras or lipglosses. 

★ MintPear - Vitamin C Serum: $15.18
★ Glamour Dolls x Lisa Frank Angle Blush Brush: $5
★ ColourPop Cosmetics - Crème Gel Pencil in Best Show Me: $5
★ The Base by Lara Bingle - LB Cream in Beige: $5.87
★ Naked Cosmetics - Heavy Metal #04: $14.99

Total Glambag value: $46.04! ♡♡♡

★ I'm not a fan of Colourpop, at all. Why? Well, you can read my horrid experience with this brand here: COLOURPOP X KAEPOPS & ROOCH ULTRA MATTE LIP + LIPPIE PENCIL. Because of this, I wasn't excited to be getting the Crème Gel Pencil in Show Me. However, It's not bad. It's smooth and pigmented. I'm actually tempted on using this as eyeshadow since it's such a pretty copper color. I've only used it once and it was lasting. I guess for the price, it's not a bad catch?

★ I was so excited to be getting this Glamour Dolls x Lisa Frank Angle Brush simply because my younger self was such a huge Lisa Frank fan. However, I was expecting the quality to be better than this. You can clearly see where the print connects, which makes me think it might tear away with use. Oh, and it's a rather small light brush made out of synthetic hairs. Perfect for traveling, but if you're into heavier brushes you might not like this. Other than this It's a blush brush but I think it's perfect for contouring since it blends the product nicely.
 

★ I'm completely loving this Heavy Metal pigment by Naked Cosmetics. It's so pigmented! I've never tried pigments before because I've always feared I'd make a mess, which I did anyways! I recommend using your finger first if you're a beginner like me. Specially if you're not used to pigments. I live for warm colors like this and to my surprise, it blended nicely. Fallout's inevitable or at least for me it was.
 

★ This doesn't smell like mint! Which I was actually expecting due to the name. The MintPear 's Vitamin C Serum uses 'the power of vitamin C to combat signs of aging like wrinkles, sunspots, fine lines, and diminished moisture'. It's a bit of a heavy product, so little goes a long way.  This is one of those products you have to keep using to see visible results but it did feel very moisturizing!

★ Apparently, The Base by Lara Bingle is a primer, toner, tinted moisturizer, and bronzer all in one.  Kinda' cool, right? but to be honest, it's my perfect shade so I doubt I'll even consider this as a bronzer. Though I'd guess for those with lighter skin, this could be perfect for that. It has light coverage that you can build up to a medium I'd say. I think this is perfect for when you're on the go and don't have enough time to do a full face but still want to look presentable.
