A mid tone pink cream nail polish
What I think so far...
I don't paint my nails anymore I am too lazy to remove it once its already chipped so I opted out of the nail polish option with IPSY but they keep sending nail polish still so I just give it to my cousin or aunt instead.

I was pretty excited when I got this I have never owned the balm eye shadows before so happy I got to try this out it's such a pretty color its a purple with golden sheen to it. It's not super pigmented as I liked it to be you have to keep building up the color but it's decent enough and you can see swatches below.

Sample size 22ml $2.93
Sample size 22ml $2.93
Product Description
A shea butter packed shaving cream with deletable scent. Apply to legs, armpits or bikini line before you shave.
What I think so far...
I don't really see the point of a shaving cream since I just use what ever body wash I am using when I am shaving in the shower. I like that it foams up and yes it's very soft on the skin after shaving but so does my body wash, so I don't see the point of purchasing a full size of this but it was nice to get to try this out. ^.^
Pop Beauty Pop Portfolio Eyeshadow Palette in Peach Parfait Trio
$2.17?
Product Description
With three pretty pastel shades, this satiny shadows is our spring go-to. Sweep a single color over your eyelid, or mix, match, and blend.
What I think so far...
I had gotten a trio sample of this from a previous IPSY bag but in a different color, so when I saw this for the sample choice I had to get it! It is a really nice selection of colors perfect for spring I really liked the peach and the golden peach shade they glide on smoothly and really pigmented. Swatches below.

TOTAL REVIEW
The total value of my Ipsy bag for April is around $30.67 I really loved I got three full size products this month but I think the overall curation is just okay, while my Birchbox value is around $16.04 which is pretty low in value but I love the Beauty protector oil, real chemistry and pop beauty eye shadow trio! <3
I love that eyeshadow, I got that in my Ipsy bag. But i think i like Birchbox better because you got an eyeshadow palette instead.
