Ipsy Bag

I received my first Ipsy Bag this month and I am going to review it for you. Ipsy is a once a month subscription service that offers 5-6 beauty products in a cute bag for only $10.  The theme this month was Glam it Up. 

em Cosmetics Lash Gallery Dramatic Volume Waterproof Mascara
OMG. I love this mascara for two reasons. First, the brush is so soft and lightweight. I can hardly tell if I am actually touching my lashes because its so featherweight and gentle on my lashed. The second is the payoff. One coat does what 3 coats of my mascara does. And I thought the one I was using was great. This one is even better. It doesn't look to heavy or clumpy and applies so easily. One coat is all you need.  Dramatic Volume indeed.

Nailtini Straight up Color Nail Lacquer in Caviar Cocktail
I am a picky nail polish person. A good polish has to have a great formula. It needs to apply smoothly, need only one coat, and have the right consistency. This product passes my test.  It has all of those features, so it wins.  I am not huge on the color but its a good one for the upcoming holiday season.

 Pixi Beauty Bronzer in Subtly Sun Touched
This bronzer couldn't have come at a better time. My previous had recently cracked into a million pieces and was in the trash. I was using nothing for a about a week but I actually liked it. The bronzer I had been using was too harsh and orange. The color of this one is perfect. The title subtly sun touched is the perfect description. Its not too harsh, and it gives the perfect subtle glow. 

Starlooks Gem Eye Pencil in Topaz
I am in complete amazement of this product! The pigment is unreal. I have had sparkled different coloured eye pencils in the past and they sucked. You would have to push hard and do many many coats to even get a bit of color to show, and forget about using it on the water line. This one is incredible. The color glides on so easily, so pigmented and perfect. It even sparkles. AND it works great on the water line too. I want these in all the colors. I have been using it non stop since I got it. 

Bh Cosmetics Galaxy Chic Baked Eye Shadow in Asteroid
Very cool looking eye shadow shade with the marbled effect. I was really hoping it would come off that way on my lid but it just created a deep blue/brown looking color :(  The glimmer is awesome though and the product looks pretty! They sell single color shades too so those might be something worth having.

Be A Bombshell Lip Crayon in Hot Damn
Before this product arrived, I was never into lip products other than glosses and chap stick. Lip sticks used to dry out my lips more than they are now and I thought I would look funny with a bold lip color. Well, I thought I would give it a try. Turns out I love it. This shade is a vibrant red and doesn't dry me out. I love the look of a pop of color with bright lips. Funny how your style will change over time. This has  got me in the mood to build my lip stick collection.
