Pink Petals

Here's what I received in my April Glam Bag from Ipsy.
HIkari | Blush in Tango
Full size: $15
Oh my, I absolutely love this blush. The beautiful matte coral pink just screams pink and it'll work great with my combination skin. I generally find the blushes Ipsy sends are really good and the colours are versatile to fit just about any skin tone. 
the Balm | NudeDude in Fit
Sample size: approx $3
Fit is a lovely shimmery brown champagne colour with great pigmentation.
Hey Honey| Good Morning - honey silk facial serum
Sample size: approx $13.70
This was the first product I tried from this month's bag because I was in a rush getting ready and grabbed the nearest moisturizer/serum to apply. Some serums are more like creams, but this is actually a serum and is quite runny. It has a light smell, similar to baby powder. Would I purchase it?... ehh I'll pass.
Starlooks | Lip Gloss in Cuddle
Sample size: approx $3
This is a satin gloss with a nude champagne colour. I'm not a fan of lip glosses, actually I requested not to get lip gloss samples from Ipsy, but this one is pretty good. It doesn't feel sticky and wet when applied, which is my main issue with glosses.
Jor'el Parker | Femina
Mini roller: $21
Again, I received something I requested not to, but I'm pleasantly surprised with this scent. The scent notes are: Meyer Lemon, White Grapefruit, Satsuma Mandarin, Summer Forsythia, Pink Plumeria, Wild Verbena, Tahitian Vanilla, Sensual Musk. I really like this scent as the citrus, floral and vanilla compliment each other nicely and produces a sweet but not overly sweet smell. The best part? It's 100% cruelty free and vegan.

Total Value: approx $55

Whoa, the value of Birchbox and Ipsy were almost the same this month! But I do feel like the Glam bag was more worth it. It provided more make-up products which is what I prefer. I really enjoyed the perfume sent and will definitely be adding it to my wish list.

Here's what I received in my April Birchbox :)
 Beaver Professional | Nutritive Moisturizing Shampoo and Conditioner
Sample size: approx $8
 Jelly Pong Pong | Glow Getter HIghlighter
Full size: $16.50
I'm excited to try the Jelly Pong Pong highlighter as I've been using stick highlighters. It'll be interesting to try a liquid one.
 Bee Kind | Shower Gel
Sample size: approx $2.50
 Mereadesso | All-in-One Moisturizer
Travel size: $28
 It claims to be a one-step formula that is an antiaging day/night cream, serum, eye cream, toner and primer. Seriously, it's not all those things, it's just a moisturizer that could use some SPF.  

Total Value: approx $55

I kind of loathe boxes where the value isn't justified by the actual product your get. In this box, the Mereadesso moisturizer blew it out of the water with it's price of $28 for 12 ml of product, like really? I've tried many samples of Mereadesso products, but I never find it worth it to actually purchase them for that reason.

I attended IMATS back in November and purchased this amazing Morphe blush palette. Keep reading for my review!
The description on the Morphe website states that it's a blush palette, but the browns pigments are definitely dark enough to be bronzers. Here's a couple close up pictures of the blushes and bronzers.
I'm not a huge fan of shimmery blushes and bronzers, but the shimmer in this palette is small enough to add just the perfect glow to the skin. Also, the first and last shade in the first row are completely matte, score!
 Swatches are in accordance to position in the palette.
The shades in this palette transition from a bright Barbie pink to a chocolate bronze and are super pigmented. I literally just tap my brush into the colour and it's enough for me. The pigment itself is also light and powdery, so there isn't too much fall out.
My favourite shades are first shade in the second row, a peachy coral colour and the fourth shade in the first row, a light rose pink. 
There is a shade for just about every skin tone in this palette, which makes it so versatile. I personally don't like to apply bronzer because I still don't know how to apply it without looking like I just rolled my face in some dirt, but I do love to use the bronze shades as eye shadows.
I would definitely recommend this palette for anyone looking into it. The best part? It's only $12! You really can't go wrong for that price. You can purchase Morphe products from their website and they do ship to Canada, but they don't have a flat rate so it might be pricey. I'm definitely going to pick up some more Morphe palettes this year at IMATS though.

What's your favourite make up palette?
