5 Products that ROCK ipsy - April 2018 Unboxing
I’ve been an ipsy subscriber for over 3 years and this by far has to be my favorite bag so far. Not only do I love the bag itself, all 5 items that I received were full sizes and perfect for me!
If you don’t know what ipsy is, check out my post, What is ipsy and is it Really Worth it?
The theme...
As with most sub services, ipsy has a theme every month. It is usually associated with a positive message and a hashtag. This is what the theme card says on the back this month:
" Fact: Life's too short (and your makeup looks too good) to skip all the fun stuff happening right now. Instead, we challenge you to be your best self, have your best spring, and RSVP "YASSSS" to everything that comes your way. A new friend request? Yup. Sundae making party with your niece? Mhm. Random date night on a Tuesday? Heck yeah. 90s trivia and wine tasting? You're in. Swipe right, check yes, and load up your calendar. You're going to be one busy bee this month. Luckily, we've got your hair, makeup, and mani plan covered. Don't forget to head over to the ipsy mobile app for inspo, ideas, and everything you need to know about your Glam Bag picks. And find us on Facebook so you can get social with other ipsters who love beauty too! #ipsysocialbutterfly"
The bag…
This month ipsy describes their bag as “A pretty, butterfly-covered pouch that you’ll wanna take everywhere you go.” I wholeheartedly agree! First of all – I LOVE Rose Gold. The corners of the bag and the zipper are adorned with this shiny rose gold metallic look that makes me giddy. The butterflies are super cute, whimsical and perfect for Spring. I use all of my ipsy bags for something… but this one will be up front and center. I plan to keep this in my bag with office supplies that I need regularly. My pens, a pencil, a couple of journaling pens for when the mood strikes, stamps, and some extra business cards, and because of love post-it’s – some kind of sticky notepad.
The products...
“The name says it all – this highlighter is extra-luminizing, highly-pigmented and very buildable. We layered it on and it gave us an out-of-this-world glow.”

It has a champagne color and can be used on your cheekbones, brow bones, collarbones, shoulders, down your nose, and as an eyeshadow, among other things. It is rated 4 out of 5 stars with almost 33,000 votes. ipsy offers 8 ways you can use this product.

Trust Fund Beauty describes it as a “gold coloured liquid highlighter”. I would tend to agree more with ipsy – it’s more of a champagne color. The brand’s website also offers another liquid highlighter for $20 called That Liquid Glo Tho LIT AF and describes it as the same product with a “rose gold” color. I would like to try that one… #obviously. They also offer another highlighter that is $8 called That Glo Tho, and is in a tube/stick form – like a lipstick. If you order this product through ipsy, the product is fulfilled by the brand and shipping is $6.99.

The overall retail value of my April 2018 ipsy #glambag is $67.98!! I paid $10.83!! The value is undeniable. I do not always receive 5 full-size items, but the value of my bag is always more than the cost, considerably more!
In the coming weeks, I will be reviewing each of these products based on my experience with them. I will try and come back to this post and give you links to those reviews and any videos I post on YouTube.
