November Glam Bag: First Impressions

I got my November Ipsy glam bag this week!
The bag is so cute this month! If you read my review of lasts months glam bag you will know that I wasn't particularly fond of that last one. This one has constellations in the shapes of various makeup items, and the zipper has a little star on it.
Lasting Smiles organic lip balm. Lip balm is essential this time of year, so I'm never sorry to have a new one on hand. This one is pepper mint so it smells amazing, and a lovely feel on.
Plus every percuss from Lasting Smiles helps fund cleft surgeries for kids.
Absolute New York Matte Stick in Dark Red. I haven't used this because I never wear red lipstick, the two I have will probably last me a lifetime as it is. I will either give this to a friend or save it of a giveaway( Yes there will be a giveaway in the new year)
TheBalm Mad Lash mascara. I really like the wand on this mascara! When I first saw it I wasn't sure I would, but I have found it really easy to use. I am a bit on the fence about the mascara its self,  its a bit more of a messy look than I normally go for, but I'm still getting used to it.
Luxie beauty small duo fiber brush. I haven't used this one yet, but it looks really nice, and I love the rose gold on the handle.
Eyeko London Skinny liquid eyeliner in black. This has to be my favorite thing I received in this months bag. I have used one of Eyeko's other liners and I love that one as well. I have a hard time with eyeliner as a rule, so when I find one that I love it makes me really happy. This one is so easy to control and goes on beautifully.

Over all I was super happy with this months bag, and I can't wait for the next one.
I have decided that after next month I will be canceling my subscription and trying out something new.

Have you ever used a beauty subscription?
Which one would you recommend?
Have a wonderful weekend!

My May Ipsy Glam Bag

 Hello Everybody!
Today I got my very first Ipsy Glam Bag, and I have to say, when my brother brought this pretty pink package in from the mail box it felt a little like my birthday.
If you have never heard of Ipsy before, it is a $10 monthly beauty subscription,  For more details you can check their web site here.

 I have to say I love the pink envelope, I think it add a nice touch and make the whole thing a bit more fun.

 This months bag is very travel oriented (in fact it's called Destination Chic), so it has many cool destinations on the bag it's self, such as Big Ben, The Statue of Liberty, and The Eiffel Tower.

As far as the product them selves go, I have only actually tried one so far, and that is the lip balm. My bag came with the following products.

Jelly Pong Pong Cosmetics: Caribbean Sun Bronzer Duo in Aruba

I really like the colors of this duo, but in all honesty I'm not sure how much I will use the blush shade, it has more of a coral tone and I am so used to using a pink blush. As for the bronzer, I think it's a really good color for me.

Eva-Nye: Hungry Hair Oil Treatment

I am really looking forward to trying this out tomorrow, it looks and smells amazing! It smells like a cross between caramel and vanilla.

Jersey Shore Spa: Lavender Moisture Rich Hydrating Balm

Okay, this is the only thing in the bag that I have actually tried so far, and I really, really like it. For one it has lavender in it, and two, I can pronounce all of the ingredients, which is nice with a lip product.

Bellapierre: Gel Lip Liner in No 2 Nude

This liner seems to be a really nice color, I haven't used a ton of lip liners so I don't really know how to compare this, but I'm looking forward to trying it farther.

Smashbox: X-Rated Mascara Volumateur  

I have been wanting to try out Smashbox for a while, and I am hoping this will turn out to be a good experience. I tend to a hard time with mascaras in general so we shall see.

 From top to bottom. Bellapierre Gel Lip Liner No 2, Jelly Pong Pong Bronzer and Blush in Aruba.

Over all I am very happy with my first Glam Bag, and I'm looking forward to next months.
I Hope you all have a wonderful day!
Anna.
