Ipsy Glam Bag {{April 2014}}

It's that time of month again to receive my Ipsy Glam bag. This month the theme of this bag was

Beauty Rocks. This bag is pretty cute and I really enjoyed the products in this months bag! The bag was a dark purple shade with a record player on it. I really liked the size of this bag this month.

Now onto the products!

The first product that I got was this beautiful white gold eye shadow by City Color. I love this product because the color looks great with my eyes. I love the application product of this stuff. It gave my eye makeup more of a glitter gold look which I loved.
To buy this product it would cost you $3.99 which isn't a bad price at all. I am definitely going to purchase this product when I run out. It's in a nice small container too so it doesn't take up much room in my makeup collection. This is probably my favorite product out of my Ipsy bag this month.

The next product is from Urban Decay and it's the 24/7 Velvet Glide On eyeliner. I was really excited to try this product when I got a sneak peak of what was in my bag. Once I tried it thought I was just a bit disappointed with the application of it. It was hard to get it to show up and it didn't show up as dark as I wanted. I've heard nothing but good from the company Urban Decay but I probably wouldn't purchase this eyeliner.
The cost of this eyeliner for the full size is $20.00. It did last most of the day and removing it was really easy with my makeup remover wipes. It didn't run like most eye liner so I was impressed with that but it's not first choice of eyeliners that I own.

Next is a tint from Benefit called the Lollitint. I haven't actually tried this product yet so I can't really leave my review on it quite yet. What I didn't know until after I looked at the packaging is that it is both a lip tint and a cheek tint. I'm not a big lip product person because I feel like it doesn't do much for me but I think that is where I would wear this product. It would be a bit too pink on my cheeks I think.
The cost of this product for a full size is $30.00 so it's quite up there in price. The shade of this is Orchard Blossom so definitely a spring time color.

The next product is another lip product but this one looked interesting to me. It's a little out of my comfort zone but I'm excited to try this stuff out. It's Cailyn Tinted Lip Balm in the shade Acid Pink. I think the packaging is pretty cute and you can't even tell that the top part of it is a brush to apply it. I had never heard of this brand before.
Loved the color of this lip balm and haven't really applied it to my lips quite yet. The price for this is $19.00. Other Ipsy subscribers got a peach colored one. I can't wait to try some makeup looks with this product.

The last product that I got in this months Ipsy bag is KISS Looks So Natural Lashes. I don't quite know how I feel about this product yet. I'm glad I got it for the variety of things in my bag but it's not quite me. I have long lashes as it is so I'm not quite sure how they would look on me. I got the style of shy lashes. I think these may look fake on me but I may use these when I do my photography with someone.
The cost of this product is $3.99 so it's not that expensive for these. They are cute but just not me.

Overall I am very pleased with this months Ipsy bag and I'm already excited for the next one. I love getting the sneak peaks on Instagram to see what I may be getting.

Ipsy Glam Bag {{March 2014}}

Back in February I decided to sign up for a subscription service and I decided to go with Ipsy since their products seemed to fit me. Every month you get 4 to 5 products in these cute makeup bags for a great price of only $10. My first bag was March and I was super excited to receive it. The bag this

month was designed by an artist in San Francisco and the theme of this bag was Destination Beauty. I am pretty excited to see what I get next month also.

I figured every month when I receive my glam bag I would post what was inside and how I liked the products. Also if you want to sign up for yourself use this code and you can either save some money or earn some points: http://www.ipsy.com/r/790b

Did I mention that not everyone gets the same bag?

So the first product that I pulled out of my glam bag was this primer from Pixi. There was a bit of shimmer to my face after I applied it but it wasn't terrible. According to PixiBeauty.com this is a new product and it sells for $9.00.

The next product is a NYX product. It is the Love in Rio palette. Mine came in the shade called The Brazilian which is three brownish colors. I've always heard really good things about NYX but was a little disappointed at how its not very pigmented this palette was and it took quite a bit of adding more to get it to show up. 

This product sells for $6.00 and comes in a variety of shades. I love the color combos that they have and these colors work perfect with my skin tone.

I'm going to rate this product a 6/10 because I think it should be more pigmented. I think I will put this in my purse and carry it with me for times when I need to touch up.

Next up is a liquid eyeliner from Chella. It is in the shade Indigo Blue. Something I like about Ipsy is that it's giving me products that I wouldn't go purchase for myself at the store because I wouldn't ever step out of my comfort zone to buy blue eyeliner.

First off I love the tip on this eyeliner, makes it so much easier to apply. The only thing is that it sorta ran a bit as you can see in the second photo. I haven't worn this product out and about but I have tried it. The blue actually doesn't really stand out bold like I thought it would.

This eyeliner costs $24.00 on the Chella website, thats double the cost of my glam bag!

 Lastly was a travel size lipstick from bareMinerals Marvelous Moxie in the shade Get Ready. I'm not a big lipstick person but I actually wore this and wore it out and about. It gave my lips just a little bit of color but nothing too intense. It also stayed on for quite awhile which impressed me.
The cost for this lipstick in full size is $18.00

 That is all for the March bag and I can't wait to see what comes in my April bag! I loved all the products that I got, I sort of wish I would have gotten the OPI nail polish that some people received.
