My favorite subscription is here!! If you're not familiar with Ipsy it is only $10 a month, and each month you will receive a makeup bag filled with approx. 5 products to try out. (Typically it's always 5, this month I got 4 but I'm still thrilled as they were great!) There are variations in what products everyone receives and in the colors, so it's fun to see what everyone else got! My referral link will be at the bottom of the post if you'd like to sign up and try it out!
Now, on to the bag!!!! Can I just say now how much I LOVE this months bag!!!! It is super cute, well made, and no plastic-y smell that some people complain about. It seems that they are going to start using designers on some of the bags so hopefully there are more beautiful bags in our future!

| First Glance |
 |
| First peek at my items! |
We'll start with the one I am most excited about, the Be a Bombshell eyeshadow quad! It is full size and I got the Bora Bora palette. I know a lot of people are getting sick of seeing Be a Bombshell products in subscription boxes but I'm always happy to get more as the quality is usually great.

Great colors!

| Swatches-shade |
 |
| Swatches-bright light |
All of the colors had excellent pigmentation! You can barely even tell in the pictures, but the top half of the swatches has primer underneath. Normally there would be a drastic difference in color from the top of the swatch to the bottom, but not with these babies!

| Nicole by OPI- On What Grounds? |
This one I'm kind of meh about. At first I was like "Yay! Nicole polish!".....but then I saw the finish. Maybe I'm the only one, but I am not into the new rough/sand finish in the texturized polishes. The color I got is nice, and it is from a new collection which is always great, but the finish just irks me. From my experience, even multiple thick coats of Seche Vite can't get the finish to smooth out the way I want it. I'll still wear it I'm sure, but it will bug me just the same.
This next one is kinda cool. It's a Bare Minerals lipstick and the card says it is an exclusive color for Ipsy. I know some people got a gloss, and I usually like gloss more than lipstick, but I LOVE the color I got so I'm happy I got the lipstick instead. I got the shade Get Ready, and the card also has a promo code that can be used for a free mascara with any other purchase from the Bare Minerals website by April 30th, so I may have to give that a try!

And last, another common item in subscription boxes lately, under eye patches. These are okay, not happy or unhappy either way. The great shadow quad and lipstick color still make the bag a WIN for me, even if I only got 4 things this month instead of 5, and even if the eye patches are just meh. I'll still use them and try them, but I could have lived without them.
