Ipsy Glam Bag
October and November
I'm going to be honest here. I haven't been very excited about the glam bags the past couple of months. It makes me sad because I was enjoying them so much in the beginning. It's not just the products, because to be honest if the products were better I wouldn't mind the shipping so much. Yeah, the shipping is horrible. It normally takes about a week and a half for my bag to get to me and they ship from IN my state!
So anyway, enough complaining. Here is what I received in October's glam bag.
La Fresh oil free face cleanser wipes.
I tried these a couple of times and I wasn't really happy with these cleansing wipes. They didn't really clean very well. They kind of left my face feeling like it had a film on it. I like that they are mostly all natural and not tested on animals. However that doesn't do me much good if my face isn't getting clean.
Sexy Hair blow dry gel.
This was a pretty good product. I don't really have any complaints. If you like Big Sexy Hair products they usually have buy one get one deals. I already have a blow dry product so this one will be a back up. This was a trial size.
Coastal Scents medium shadow brush.
This brush is super soft! I saw a lot of people were excited about this product. I was pretty happy it came in my bag. I usually buy brushes in multi packs so it was really nice to get to try a more high end brush.
Wet n Wild eyeshadow
I wish I had more time to be adventurous and play around with my look. I love these colors! They are very Fall! I was surprised to see Wet n Wild in my glam bag. But this product was full size and I am looking forward to trying it out sometime for date night.
Zoya nail polish
I saved this for last because this is the product I was excited about! It came in the color I wanted and I painted my nails as soon as I had a chance! I love Zoya polish! It takes less coats than other nail polishes and they have great colors!
November
Novembers bag was the usual nail polish, lip crayon,eye liner, bronzer or blush bag. I'll get more into the products on a one product at a time basis.
Be A Bombshell lip crayon.
This lip crayon goes one smooth and has great pigment. I wasn't very excited about the color. I have had a really hard time finding a lip color that I like. So I won't blame Ipsy for this one.
Pixi Beauty Bronzer
I'm not really picky about the bronzer. I have received a few in my glam bags and I haven't really used them up yet. I will just add this one to the collection!
Nailtini nail color.
I like this polish! I actually just tried it on a nail so that I could review it. I am so glad that I did! It is a bronze glitter shimmer color. Great for the holiday season! This bag just got way better!! I am a new Nailtini fan!
TRESemme' hairspray.
This is trial size. I am confused why Ipsy chose this product for the bag. It smells like hairspray. It holds like hairspray. Nothing special. I feel like this is more of a filler product.
Starlooks eye pencil
I have to play around with this one and see what I can do with it. I have never been that into color eye shadow. I usually just go for black. I will get back to you on this one once I get a real chance to find a look. The color is a metallic silver and goes on really smooth. It rubbed off my hand really easily, so it might not last long on. We will see!
EM Michelle Phan
I like to save my favorite product for last. That way I can end on a good note. I was really excited to see a EM Michelle Phan product in my glam bag! After the September bag intro to the product brand I have wanted to try their products. They are a little expensive for me but I really like this balm!
So maybe I was a little harsh at the beginning of this blog. I wasn't excited about the products but after trying them I am happier! Maybe I'll hold on to my subscription a bit longer!
We got the exact same bags, colors and everything, for both October and November! This was my fourth month of Ipsy, and I'm really happy with all my bags so far. I think my worst was October, and that's because I couldn't use the gel or brush. Can't wait for December, hope they keep getting better and better!
ReplyDeleteI am really excited for December too! How cool that we got the same stuff. Thank you for your comment!
