May 2014 Ipsy Bag

Hey, everyone! It's that time again. The awesome pink envelope full of goodies has once again arrived. This month's theme was Beauty's Fresh Picks. I guess it's supposed to be products for the outdoors and natural looking makeup. I received 5 products this time along with a bonus item. I received the bonus item because last month they sent me a brush I had previously received. They gave me an option to get bonus points or an extra item. I chose the latter. Alright, so lets get to the bag. 
The bag itself is pretty cute. It's the standard size they send, if not a tad bit smaller. It's a linen/canvas bag that's only printed on one side. It does fit all the items shown very well with room to spare, so it's a decent size. On to the items! lol
First and foremost, is what I found the goofiest item in the bag. It's the Avene Thermal Spring Water. I got 1.76 oz, which is a very nice size. It's supposed to be a soothing mist for sensitive/irritated skin. I think it's a pretty goofy product because upon looking at the ingredients it only contains water and nitrogen. That's it! In other words you could get the same thing by placing some water in mist bottle and sticking it in the fridge. Definitely not worth the money to purchase.
Next we have the eva nyc Therapy Session Hair Mask. It's supposed to be a deeply conditioning, repairing, and strengthening mask for all hair types. I don't really like getting hair stuff because I'm just not a fan. My hair is naturally oily, so it doesn't really tend to get damaged, and hence I don't need much repairing. 
Next, is the Hang Ten SPF 50 Natural Sunscreen. It's broad spectrum UVA/UVB protection. It's 1oz, so it's a good trial size. It's a good size for my purse. I'll definitely be using this. 
Next, I got this Pacifica eyeshadow duo. I didn't open the package to swatch because I don't plan on keeping it. I have similar colors in many other palettes and quads, so I can do without. 

Lastly, is this Too Faced Chocolate Soleil bronzer. It's a very nice size. I'm not sure if it's too dark for me. I hear it's too dark for pale people so we'll see. I don't use bronzer, so I'm excited to try this out. 
Here is my bonus item! They sent me the NYX Bronze Smokey Look Kit. I was pretty shocked to see this! It's an awesome little palette. I couldn't believe they sent this to me as my bonus for their error. The shadows are very nice quality. However, they are quite small. The overall palette itself is pretty small. It has 2 lip colors, although the shades look like they belong on your cheeks. I wouldn't use them for either since the colors are pretty bad and the texture is an awful greasy mess. The pink looks like children's play makeup. The bronze color simply just doesn't belong on my lips. 

Anyway, that's my bag. I was pretty pleased with it. Definitely well worth the 10$. I'm definitely looking forward to my next bag. 

What did you guys get?
