What's this? Is this an April Glam Bag review done by yours truly before she receives her May Glam Bag? Is Kaitlin finally getting it together and doing something timely? The answer to all these questions is yes! Or at least I'm trying to be better. Anyways, on to this Glam Bag review!
The theme for April was Beautifully Bohemian, and honestly I didn't understand the concept behind the theme. To me (and the dictionary) the word bohemian means a person who has informal and unconventional social habits. Also fun fact, a Bohemian is a person from Bohemia which is in the Czech Republic. I think with the bohemian theme they truly meant a free spirit or no collar lifestyle, at least that's how they promoted it on social media. Anyways, the makeup bag itself is very cute, I love the style it almost looks like it's a woven or straw textile, I'm not super sure how to classify it. Another great thing with this bag is that it is way bigger compared to all the other ones I've received. Hey ipsy, can all the Glam Bags be this size? Well inside my Beautifully Bohemian Glam Bag I received: Hey Honey Good Morning - Honey Silk Facial Serum, Hikari Cosmetics Blush, theBalm Cosmetics NUDE Dude Eyeshadow Single, Starlooks Satin Finish Lip Gloss and Mullein & Sparrow Mini Lip & Cheek Tint.
First we have the Hey Honey Good Morning - Honey Silk Facial Serum, which is basically just a honey moisturizer. I love that it isn't tested on animals, that's always a big plus for me! The facial serum had a good texture, it was very creamy, and it didn't smell bad, it honestly smelt like honey. It made my face soft and brighter which is always good and what a moisturizer is supposed to do!
Next we have the Hikari Cosmetics Blush in the Tango shade, which is a bright pink. I was pleasantly surprised with this blush, I love the size, it was a full size blush! The blush was very smooth and went well on my skin. The color also gave my complexion a bright rosy cheek.
Then we have the theBalm Cosmetics NUDE Dude Eyeshadow Single in the Flirty shade, which is a metallic purple brown tone. The color combination sounds odd but it actually is very pretty and it's a nice neutral tone that shines and shimmers. And the eyeshadow goes on really well and lasts very long! One thing I really like about this was the packaging, which is a shirtless man, and his torso is the eye shadow. I thought it was really funny, clever and creative.
Next we have the Starlooks Satin Finish Lip Gloss in the Cuddle shade, which is a natural nude color. I never really have much to say about lip gloss but this was actually a really good lipgloss. It wasn't sticky, it lasted a long time and you didn't need to reapply constantly and there wasn't a terrible after taste. The lip gloss also made my lips shiny and glossy and it just felt good on my lips!
Lastly we have the Mullein & Sparrow Mini Lip & Cheek Tint. The dictionary defines tint as a shade or variety of color. However when I put this "tint" on my lips and cheeks there was no color or shade at all! It was clear! So this product simply confuses me. This didn't add any color for me, instead, I used this almost like a highlighter and placed it along my cheek bones for contouring and that's really the only use I have for this product.
Overall, the April Glam Bag turned out a lot better than I anticipated, seeing all the promotions for the "bohemian" themed bag got me worried and made me think I wouldn't like anything. But I was pleasantly surprised and I ended up enjoying most of the products! I'd give this Glam Bag 4/5 stars! I can't wait to see what's in the May Glam Bag and until next time!
