Final thoughts: Overall, I wasn't super impressed. The Ofra blush was way too dark for my skin tone and would work better as a matte bronzer than blush. I've heard good things about Skin & Co's products. I liked the toner - it hydrated my skin, but kind of has a funny smell. I love the EM Cosmetics eyeliner pen! It has a flexible brush-like tip that makes it easy to achieve both a thick or thin line. It dries really fast and doesn't smudge. This was my first Ipsy bag so I'm banking that next months will be better.
