It's finally here! My first Ipsy Glam Bag :) I found out about this little $10 monthly-gem from some friends who swore it was better than Birchbox...and they were so right!
It came in this adorable, hot pink bubble envelope on the 11th of November. I did not get an email telling me it was on the way or a tracking number so this is one I will have to keep my eye on.
Inside was this satiny, chocolate brown make up bag and 2 cards. One was for the Ipsy products with some discounts and the other was a card for JustFab (a shoe sub service). I used to have Shoe Dazzle and loved it, but I was not interested in JustFab so I tossed this out. The make up bag fit all the goodies in it and these are just nice to have around the house :)
And here is the good stuff! There was a travel sized mascara (my favorite mascara), a lip gloss, eye shadow, nail polish and eyeliner.
First up we have the Balm Meet Matt(e) in Matt Batali. This is one of the shadows in the palette on the website. This is a very deep brown/eggplant color. It is highly pigmented so a little shadow went a long way and this could easily be used for a liner or even to fill in eyebrows. No idea what the individual value is for these since all I can find are palettes.
There was a full sized Starlet Eyeliner in Black, the absence of light. I have never even heard of this brand so it was fun to try. The color is super black and after it warms up on the skin it goes on with out tugging. You can also use a smudge brush and smudge this around for a smokey eye. The liner is worth $11.
This is one of my favorite mascaras! Benefit's They're Real beyond mascara is such an awesome formula and is great by itself but AMAZING when layered over Benefit's Bad Gal Lash in black. It looks like you have false lashes on :) This travel sized tube goes for about $7.
Next we have this gorgeous BareMinerals Marvelous Moxie Lipgloss in Dare Devil. At first I didn't think this was going to look good, but the formula is great and it is sheer so this color was really flattering. It has a minty ingredient for lip plumping and to give that refreshing feeling. There is a little shimmer with this deep fuchsia and it did not wear off after just a few minutes. This is about a half a tube so I can only guess that this is worth around $8.
Last up we have this fabulous nail polish by Nailtini in Millionaire. This was a fantastic surprise as I have never heard of Nailtini before! This gorgeous glitter has gold and teal tinsel and pink tiny glitter mixed together. It looks like a party in a bottle LOL. I put this on over a teal pedicure and it is gorgeous. The formula is great, the amount of glitter v. clear polish is perfect and it dried quickly. It is a huge bottle of polish as well, 15mL of polish and this bottle is valued at $13.
Awesome awesome subscription. For $10 I got around $40 worth of products, several of which were new brands for me. I am so glad I subscribed and I can not wait until the next bag!
