November IPSY Bag (Glam Bag)

I got my glam bag and Birchbox on the same day again! It's so fun to open the packages. I liked what I got in my glam bag or IPSY I guess is the new name.

The Bag: I think it looks sophisticated. I'm happy with it.

1. Bare Minerals Marvelous Moxie Lipgloss in Dare Devil: This is a pretty berry color. I like that it is from Bare Minerals too. I think they have good quality products.

2. Chella Eyebrow Defining Gel: I'm disappointed about this. It says on the card I could have gotten Benefit They're Real mascara. Aw! :( I want to try that mascara too. I already have a brow gel that I'm happy with. Oh, well.

3. Nailtini Nail Lacquer in Millionaire: This I was surprised to find in a black box. I pulled this out! This is beautiful! Not like any nail polish I own.

4. the Balm Meet Matt(e) Eyeshadow in Matt Batali: This is so cute! I've seen this before. I love the Balm packaging. It is a nice matte dark brown color. I'm happy with it.

5. Starlet Cosmetics Intense Eyeliner in Chocolate: I haven't heard of the brand before. It is a nice brown eyeliner, but I have so many already.

October Glam Bag/ IPSY Bag

I'm writing this post after being to the dentist and having gas, so hopefully this post isn't too crazy that I would need to delete this post.

I think that bag looks ok.

1. Pequi Oil Treatment: On the bottle it says, "Restores softness and shine." It says it calms frizziness and flyways which sounds good to me. I'll have to try it out.

2. Be A Bombshell Eye Liner in Onyx: I don't like to you black eye liner, but it looks good if I wanted to use it. I might give this to my mom.

3. The Balm What's Your Type? "The Body Builder" Mascara: The photos are kind of blurry. I don't really know what I think of this. I'll have to try it out first. I like the mascara I normally use, but this one might be good too.

4. Mirenesse Lip Bomb Glossy Lacquer Stain: I like the color. On the packaging it says, "Revolutionary Lip innovation fuses color, gloss, stain and lacquer for a super moist and velvety look. Lip Perfecting Spheres & minty breathe freshener included. Feather light, non-smearing, intense & customizable stay on lip color." I don't know what "lip perfecting spheres" are. I think the name of it is "Mirror Me."

5. Coastal Scents Eye Shadow: I have never tried their eyeshadow before, so this should be interesting. It is so cute.

September Glam Bag

1. London SOHO New York Smudge Brush: This was bigger than the bag so it came inside the package, but outside the bag. It looks like a nice brush, but I don't really need another brush.

2. The bag seems to have good quality. It looks better than the other glam bags.

3. Inside the bag was another nail polish from Circus by Andrea's Choice. The color is a pretty purple called Tight Rope.

4. Carol's Daughter Monoi Repairing Split End Sealer: It says "Monoi Oil conditions, Carob Seed binds split ends, and Babassu Oil strengthens." I haven't tried this yet. I don't have split ends, so I don't know if I will really ever use this.

5. Mirabella Eye Shadow in Semiformal: This just came in a pot form, so I don't really like that. I will have to keep it in the paper wrap it comes in. It's a pretty color.

6. Jane Sparkle Gloss in Sparkle Pink: This is a really bright color. I don't know if it would look good on me. I'm glad to see Jane makeup coming back. I wish they still were sold at the drugstore.

August Glam Bag

Yesterday I got my Glam Bag and Birchbox in the mail on the same day! It was very cool.

1. The bag is a cool neon orange and pink mesh bag. The card has a picture of Michelle Phan and it says, "Endless Summer" on the top, so that is theme I suppose.

2. We got another nail polish called Circus by Andrea's Choice. I got Spectacle. The other shade you could have gotten is Ringmaster the card says. Last month I got a bright yellow shade. It looks pretty and very on trend for Summer.

3. Salty Cosmetics Glama-ZOID! Eye Shadow: You can kind of see it on my hand. Is a very shimmery, mineral powder.

4. Eclos Plant-Based Beauty Cellular Activator Facial Serum. This is what it says on the back of the bottle: "Incorporating the breakthrough technology of Plant Stem Cell research, this lightweight liquid awakens dormant skin stem cells, increases their longevity and enhances their ability to function like young cells. PhytoPlex24 incorporates plant extracts such as Comfrey and Gotu Kola to help visibly reduce the appearance of wrinkles and other signs of skin decline. You can have a smoother, softer, youthful complexion again." I don't know if I believe all the claims. I guess I'm just skeptical. I already have youthful looking skin. I don't want to interfere with what my dermatologist is having me do right now, so I probably will give this to my mom.

5. Eclos Plant-Based Beauty Moisture Therapy Regenerative Cream: You are supposed to use the serum first and then apply this cream. It claims to do the same as above.

6. Demeter Fragrance Library Roll on Perfume Oil in Dragon Fruit: It smells really good. I think you can get these inexpensively at Walgreens.

7. My Glam Glam Gloss in the shade 02: It looks very bright and summery. I don't know if it would look good on me.

July Glam Bag

1. I really like the looks of this bag.

2. Yes to Cucumbers On-The-Go Facial Towelettes: I really like these little wipes. I brought the Yes to Blueberries wipes I got in my April Birchbox with me camping last month and they were really handy. I'm going to take these with me to the camp I'm going to this weekend.

3. Josie Maran Magic Marker Lip and Cheek Stain in Jitterbug. This is a bright pink color. It feels like you are using a highlighter to mark up your face. The color blends out on the cheek to give a pretty flush. And the lips look pretty.

4. Nu Me HydroPunch Hydrating Conditioner: It says to have Seratin-k, Sage Extract, Bamboo Extract, Argan Oil from Morocco, and no paragons or paraffins. It sounds good. I'll have to try it out.

5. Juice Beauty Green Apple SPF 15 Moisturizer: This says it has age defying antioxidants in it and  broad spectrum sun protection. I like to use what I normally use which has SPF 30. This is ok though.

6. Circus by Andrea's Choice Nail Color: This is a big tube like a package and inside is a full size nail polish!

7.  It's a pretty summer yellow color. The name is Somersault. I already have two nail polishes that are this color, so this is just ok to me.

June Glam Bag

This month's glam bag is a glittery, golden bag. I don't like the texture of it. I don't think I would ever carry this around with me.

Inside the bag the first thing I pulled out was this Marbella Permanent Eyeliner Pen. The card says, "Master the art of beautiful eyes with this unique waterproof, smudge free, and long-lasting semi-permanent eyeliner pen." I normally use brown liquid liners if I use them at all, so I'm probably not going to use this.

This is Living Proof (crossed out frizz) Nourishing Styling Cream. The card says, "Stops frizz in its tracks, keeping all styles frizz-free, soft and smooth. Living Proof's miracle molecule, OFPMA, conquers frizz by blocking humidity without silicone or heavy oils." This is something I will try. I have frizzy hair so I need products like this.

This is Philosophy Take A Deep Breath Oil-Free Energizing Oxygen Gel Cream Moisturizer. The card says, "This lightweight moisturizer detoxifies and helps protect for a healthy-looking glow." On the bottle it says it protects your skin from environmental factors such as sun, smog, and pollution. I like the brand, and I wouldn't mind trying this.

The last product is NYX Round Lipstick in Orange Soda. The card says, "Incredible color that resists wear and smudging, let your lipstick last all night with an amazing velvety smooth, mineral formula." I like this brand. I don't know if the color looks good on me. I will try it out.

May Glam Bag

Today I got my Glam Bag. I was feeling like I didn't really like it anymore so I unsubscribed, but I payed for a year so I will still be getting the bags in the mail every month. I figured I would still blog about what I get in case anyone is interested. Even though I unsubscribed I still love getting a package in the mail.

Inside the package was a really cute makeup bag and a card detailing what I had received. This month's theme is "Love is in the air."

Miss Beauty Nail Bling: "Nail art that will make you fall head over heals in an instant." It reminds me of the Sally Hansen nail polish stickers you can get. It looks kind of cute. I might try it.

Philosophy Love Sweet Love Spray Fragrance: "Feel smitten and irresistibly pretty with this flirty, fruity fragrance." I'm happy to get this. I love Philosophy scents. It smells really good.

Studio Gear Complete Color Lipstick in Mocha Berry: "Rich color that plumps and hydrates for perfectly kissable lips." It is a plum type of a color. It might look good on me. I'm not really sure about it yet.

Myglam Concealer Brush & Defining Eyeliner Brush: "Two final signature pink brushes to complete your myglam collection." I like these brushes. Even though I don't really need any more brushes, these seem like ones I would use. They are very small brush tips.
