December Ipsy

I loved this bag and every bag over the past couple months! Ipsy has been nothing, but amazing beauty items which is why I subscribed to them 1 year ago when it was MyGlam. This has to be my very close to favorite subscription service I have. If you are interested in signing up for Ipsy click HERE. 

MAI COUTURE highlighting papier

This is a almost tissue like paper with pigment right on it. You can tear it out and rub it onto your upper cheekbones, cupids bow or anywhere you would like to have highlighted or glowing. The color was great and pale and shimmery. I have tries MAI COUTURE blotting papiers and the foundation papiers in the past as well

Urban Decay 24/7 glide on pencil in ZERO

The perfect deep dark black eyeliner. Makes my eyes stand out and very bold.

NYX ultra pearl mania pigment in

The pigment is right on and bold as expected, It looks like a dark green color, but comes off brown when applied. My only gripe about it is it not being easy to use because of the packaging. It is not user friendly. The opening is very tiny and seems like a lot of waste if you need to pour it out to use it. it would be much better if the opening was bigger where you could tap the end of your brush in the pigment without having to be super creative on not spilling it. 

Mirabella Face and Eye Primer

The consistency is a bit runny and oily from what I am use to. Works like it should. Always use a primer before foundation and eye makeup. It's a must for an all day makeup application.

Be a Bombshell lip gloss in HOT MESS

A super bright and very glossy. Not too sticky which it always a plus.

Lastly my bag extra which is the NEW Urban Decay Naked Skin Beauty Balm.

It has a medicinal/ minty smell to it. I had high hopes for this, but it does not have good coverage, but I should have expected that from the Beauty Balm. I can say it did even out my skin tone and had a really beautiful satiny finish, but did not hide any of my flaws. I began using this under my foundation. If the Naked Skin foundation is anything like this with full coverage I think it would be a great product for me. I have lots of hyper pigmentation all over my face and need quite a bit of coverage just to make my face appear even. 

This was a great beauty bag!

2nd Ipsy Bag Oct 2012

So yes, MyGlam is now Ipsy!

The second bag is truly amazing! This is the reason why I signed up for MyGlam at the beginning. I wanted a subscription service with all makeup products or at least mostly makeup products. I am quite happy with what was in the bag this month!

 

The Lip Bomb on the Mirenesse $39.00 

Although the color I received #4, was not available on the website. This lip stain/gloss/lipstick is SUPER pigmented and is so smooth on your lips. It is not sticky and it seems to stay on forever. I did notice that it transferred on to everything, but I still had tons of color even after it transferring. Pretty impressive. Below is the color #4 a great sheen too.

Pequi Oil Treatment from Couture Color. A full size 0.5oz bottle is $12. It is suppose to revive even the most dry and brittle hair. It can also be used to tame our wild little frizzies! It is suppose to absorb quickly and not weigh your hair down. I am currently using another product and when finished I will try this one out. (see below)

The Be a Bombshell Onyx liner marker is $14.00 on the Be a Bombshell webpage. This "jumbo" like marker has a great deep dark black color and goes on smooth and lasts all day even thru my workout. It does not budge until I remove it during my shower at night! That is long wearing!!!

 This cute Mini Eyeshadow Quad from Coastal Scents in #7 was in 4 lovely colors. Starting from the top left was Wysteria, raspberry tarte, antique lilac, lemon chiffon. I love the colors that I got! I was so so happy! I saw many other bags with different colors and I am soo glad that these colors suited me PERFECTLY to my liking! 

 This Mascara from The Balm - What's your Type? in black was a nice addition to the bag!. The Balm has been an item in the MyGlam bags in the past and it is great to see they are still going to be a part of the ipsy bag too. I am currently using a couple other mascaras and will get some use from this shortly/

 These are all the items in the new ipsy bag. I really enjoyed this bag very much and so happy to see mostly cosmetic items instead of skin care items. This is what I have always wanted this subscription service to be like.

July my glam bag

July 2012 My Glam Glambag

Here are my 1st thoughts and what came in my Glambag!

Let's take a look of each item below:

From Buxom, Big & Healthy lips. 

A pretty pink neutral shade with a hint if "zing" when applied! I love when they have this minty feeling. I always pull towards products like these. It is not too sticky and is great for an every day look.

From Juice Beauty, Green Apple moisturizer with SPF 15

This has a very strong scent. It took me some time to find out what the scent was similar to, but I finally figured it out and it smells like Pledge wood cleaner. It is a thick white cream and is a little strange when applying it only because of the relation to wood cleaner in my head. It does the job and I like that it has SPF 15 in it. The good thing about Juice Beauty products id the antioxidants that they have in them which I like. I am not sure I will have this as my go to moisturizer though only due to the scent being a little bit of a turn off. 

From YES to cucumbers, facial towelettes. 

I have not opened these up just yet cause I currently have 3 different face wipes open. I have heard many good and bad things and cannot wait to form my own opinion of them. 

From Andrea's Choice, Circus nail color in Somersault

I thought it was great that we have a product from 

one of the Glam Girls. This polish is made very well. 2 coats and it is completely covered! This is a tester I did when I opened it. It even covers the polish I had on which was a pink color. I can't wait to do my whole manicure with this. 

From NuMe, Hydro Punch Hydrating Conditioner. 

 This smells nice and I am going to use this very soon. 

That is my My Glambag for July. By the way the bag this month was the cutest one yet!

MyGlam May 2012

This is my May MyGlam Bag

Theme is Love is in the Air

The bag is so cute. I think I will give it to someone that will enjoy it cause I have so many bags I really don't know what to do with them all.

• 2 brushes. These are the last 2 in the collection  of eye brushes. I wonder if face brushes will be next. The larger one is a concealer brush and the smaller is a liner brush. 

Very soft. I have not found a use for it just yet because currently I and using an old angle brush as my liner brush. I know I will use the thin liner brush when I plan on using my gel liner, but I am not currently using gel liner in the pot. I like the look of a brown shadow on my lower lash line and use a liquid felt pen for my top liner. 
This was a great idea especially for those who may not have had any brushes or a collection of different eye brushes. This was a great start for their makeup bag. 

• Miss Beauty Nail Bling. Style is silver "bling" and hearts. Initially I though how cute I would love to try this out. I really was looking forward to wearing them, but after looking at them I wonder how easy it will or will not be to apply correctly. It your nails are too short it may cut off the heart design. I will have to test this out and update this blog at a later date. 

to apply just peel and stick. They are stickers and not nail polish strips. No need to use polish remover just peel them off. 

• Studio Gear lipstick in Burnished rose

$22.00  The package was very attractive in the matte case. It was not a rose color. It was a a little too orange for my taste. If you look at the picture you can see the lipstick was not set into the tube correctly either. It is angled towards the corner of the tube making it awkward to apply. This was weird. I also thought that the color selection did not have anything to do with the season. I almost think they were left overs. Although I like the fact they sent makeup I just wish is was the spring time colors. 

• Perfume sample Love sweet love

I really liked this scent. It was strong, but fresh fruity and floral but nothing over powering the other. It is a perfect mix.

Thank you so much for taking the time to check out my blog. If you would like to join Myglam click HERE it is only $10 per month and you can cancel at anytime. Enjoy!
