I love a good oil to milk cleanser. Cocokind's cleanser is centered around fermented oat and is meant to cleanse your face without stripping it of moisture. The oil transforms into a milk cleanser as you massage it to your face. Cocokind Oil to Milk Cleanser is vegan and cruelty free.
This moisturizer from Item Beauty claims to be a lightweight gel formula that hydrates and balances skin without clogging pores or leaving skin feeling greasy. Vegan and cruelty free
RMS Beauty is cruelty free and this luminizer is sheer with a translucent satin-pearl finish. It’s a cream formula that can be used for an intense glow or a more subtle look. This is my first time experiencing RMS Beauty and I like that it’s formulated with cleaner ingredients. I tried out this luminizer and love the glow it gives, I like that the formula is super lightweight and thin and doesn’t break up the other layers of makeup I applied underneath.
The Balm Cosmetics is cruelty free and a clean beauty brand. I have used several products from The Balm over the years and enjoy them all. I like their eyeshadow formula from previous palettes I tried and am liking the looks of this one! It has 8 shades - a mix of matte and shimmer formulas with gorgeous neutrals and pops of bold shimmers.
This is another brand that is new to me. This serum is meant to help with skin smoothness and hydration. I’m really intrigued by The Pill All in 1 Serum because it claims to target inflammation and helps support the production of collagen. This serum from the Nue Company is vegan and cruelty free.
The total value of my April Ipsy Glam Bag Plus is $196.99 - that is WOW. I like that there’s a nice mix of skincare and makeup and they’re all products I haven’t tried yet so super thrilled to be exploring new things. I will say I’m most curious about The Nue Company Serum and the Cocokind Cleanser. I already played with the eyeshadow palette and luminizer since publishing this post and can say I really enjoy them and have rotated them both into my daily makeup collection.
