A closer look at the products:
1.  POP Beauty Lip Gloss/Plump Pout in "Peony Petal" - (5 stars) - LOVE this gloss!  It comes with a fuzzy stick applicator/wand for easy application and goes on smooth.  Plus, they sent me a color that's perfect for me!  LOVE IT!!  
2.  IPSY Make-Up Bag - estimated RV $5.00 - (3 stars) - I'm neutral on this one.  It's a cute color, but doesn't thrill me.  I'll throw it in a beach bag this summer. 
3.  TINI BEAUTY Eyetini Cordial Cream Shadow + Base in One in "Ambrosia" - (5 stars) - LOVE this shadow!  It goes on smoothly and is the perfect shade!  I love that it already has the shadow base in it too (saves me a step).  The look/texture reminds me of velvet and it has a beautiful shimmer to it.  Can't wait to wear it to work tomorrow!  
4.  CITY COLOR Be Matte Blush in "Fresh Melon" - (2 stars) - I indicated in my profile that I have hazel eyes, but they're more of a bluish-hazel.  This blush is too orange-y for me.  I'm also a firm believer in "you get what you pay for" and at $2.99, this isn't really a brand I'd buy regularly.  Off to the next garage sale you go!
5.  IPKN Moist & Firm BB Cream in "Light" - (Unrated - Still have to try this one.  Will update blog when I do).
6.  ZOYA Nail Polish in "Dot" - (4 stars) - I'm a fan of Zoya polish.  It goes on smoothly and has nice staying power.  However, they sent me a shade similar to this one before, so this one will probably be going on eBay or in a garage sale.  

The final verdict:  4 stars (not including the BB cream)!!  Didn't love the blush, but everything else was nice.  I LOVE the lip gloss and the eye shadow, which made this bag worth it to me.  Can't wait to see what they send me next month!
