BEAUTY | March 2026 Ipsy Unique Bag | Beauty Proof

Bought by me

Right here we’re at March and I’ve April and Might able to go as effectively! I really actually favored March’s bag when it comes to the number of merchandise because it included each make-up and skincare that had been really merchandise I might use! That is at all times the case with these subscriptions, however typically Ipsy has been fairly enjoyable for me!

E.L.F. COSMETICS | Halo Glow Blush Magnificence Wand in Magic Hour

That is most positively a Charlotte Tilbury dupe and everyone knows how a lot CT loves manufacturers who copy her (facet eye). This can be a glowy, liquid highlighter that really seems tremendous fairly on high of blush when tapped on flippantly with the fingertips. 

It seems fairly pigmented in the beginning, however sheers out to a extra skin-like end in order that your pores and skin seems candlelit! Tremendous good shade as effectively! I obtained the FULL SIZE value $13 CDN.

OLIVIAUMMA | Pudding Calming On a regular basis Cream

Miami-based, Korean skincare model Oliviaumma is a new-to-me which interprets to “Olivia’s Mother” and honours founder, Hye Younger Kim’s daughter and the bond they’ve constructed by way of skincare. Their vivid packaging makes their merchandise Instagram-worthy, however all are made in Korea and rooted in efficient Korean skincare. They love the look of glass pores and skin so a lot of their merchandise deal with reaching this look with this moisturizer being certainly one of them! With aloe vera to assuage, ceramides and panthenol to strengthen the skincare barrier, this pudding-like cream guarantees and glassy, recent look. 

As cute as this model seems, their pricing is certainly NOT in step with typical Kbeauty pricing as moisturizers and serums vary in value from $48-$68 USD! I do not suppose this can work if you will promote your model as a Korean magnificence model particularly to a rising market who is aware of simply how inexpensive Kbeauty is with components which are simply nearly as good! I really feel like the one individuals who will purchase these merchandise are people who find themselves unfamiliar with the pricing of Kbeauty and discover the idea of glass pores and skin to be a novel one. I obtained a deluxe dimension value $8 USD.

One other new-to-me model, Hola Neon appears to concentrate on lip merchandise starting from tremendous pigmented liquid lipsticks to liners and lip oils. The Lip Drip Lip Oil Assortment is available in 4 shades with this shade Gloss Me being probably the most impartial as it’s a very pale pink that provides the tiniest trace of color (swatch is beneath). The feel is certainly on the thicker facet, however zero stickiness as promised and fairly nice! I might describe their texture as “encapsulating” on the lips. Some lip oils are slightly drippy, however this one is similar to the thickness of the OG lip oils from Clarins. I obtained a FULL SIZE value $21 USD.

DALLAS & JAMES SKINCARE CO. | Watermelon Dream In a single day Glow Masks

I name this model the watermelon model as I’ve used a watermelon eye cream from Dallas & James earlier than and fairly favored it. I like this masks waaaay extra! I like the feel and the way in which it actually is “pillow-proof” as a result of the end nearly instantly dried right down to a snug, silky end. One of many nicest sleeping masks I’ve used! I obtained a deluxe dimension value $17.70 USD.

THE NUE CO. | Pores and skin Filter Serum

Curiously, this model appears extra well-known for his or her very intriguing fragrances and dietary supplements and are extra of a wellness model. It really took some effort for me to search out this product on their web site. One factor I do not like about “clear” manufacturers like this one is after they use the phrase retinol, when actually it’s a plant-alternative that they are saying mimics the consequences of retinol. You might be piggy-backing on the efficacy of retinol, however not utilizing the precise ingredient which has at all times aggravated me. As a clear model, you do not like how “soiled” retinol is, however but you haven’t any drawback utilizing its success on pores and skin within the commercial of your product. Nue Co. is not the one model that does this – tons do, nevertheless it simply annoys me. Anyhow, the feel may be very gel-like and spreadable so slightly does go a good distance! I obtained a deluxe pattern dimension value $21.67 USD.

Last verdict: Although I ranted a bit there, I did just like the precise product assortment and have been utilizing the whole lot! The entire worth of my March Ipsy Unique Bag was $107.21 CDN. Slightly inflated on the samples, however the two full dimension merchandise had been completely up my alley which made the distinction!

Have an important weekend everybody!
