Ipsy ( Originally MyGlam ) October Bag

So this is my first month of Ipsy formerly known as MyGlam and lets just say I am pleasantly pleased for 10 dollars a month =] .. In this bag were 5 items that are on the verge of being used up seeing as I only wanted to use these this month. All together this bag's consisted of $73.08 all for $10. Wonderful deal =]

Packaging: The packaging that it came in was cute. then the little striped makeup bag and the red zipper accent was classic and well made.

Let me first tell you about Ipsy and what it entails. Basically it is your typical monthly subscription for 5 random items that are supposed to be tailored to you. You take a short quiz about fashion and beauty and your skin type as well as complexion so that your colors match you. It is 10 dollars as I stated before and you get the ability to opt out in the beginning of the month if need me. Every month it changes and gives you a range of ability to try decent sized samples as well as try out new products without the commitment of purchasing from a company you know nothing of.



Pequi Oil Treatment:

This oil is said to restore shine and softness to your hair. I used it and it was just like any other oil I didn't really feel a major difference to go out and buy myself a whole new bottle. They gave us the 12 dollar bottle.

Retail Price 12.00- 50.00 

The Body Builder Mascara by theBalm:

This mascara was pretty decent. It was like any other mascara except that it clumped. I have pretty long lashes and they were all clumped up no matter how hard I tried to separate them. I found the formula to be a little too thick though I know it's supposed to give body. The wand was constructed like a wave like patter it didn't have the traditional shape all the way through, it's as if they just twisted it.

Retail Price: $19

Onyx Eyeliner by Be a Bombshell:

I am in love with this eyeliner. I found the eyeliner to be a true black. I liked the size of it for a cat eye. It is a felt tip liner and though I have a love/hate relationship with them I found this one not drying or dragged across the lid in like a tug of war matter.

Retail Price: $14

Coastal Scents: 

They gave us sample size of 4 shades. One matte true purple shade one shimmer true purple shade a white shade and a purply pink. I found it a tad bit hard to blend but I found the pigmentation to be decent. Coastal Scents has them for different prices for their pallets. 

Retail Price: Varies

Lip Bomb by Mirenese:

Full name is Lip Bomb Glossy Lacquer Stain. I never used to be a fan of lip stains because I have big lips and didn't know if I would want to walk around with this color on my lips for the rest of my life lol.. But I have to say the lasting power as well as the applicator brush and it's glossy yet minimal transfer had me stuck on stupid.. I would love to say I will repurchase but I don't know if I want to pay as much.. 

Retail Price: 28.08- 35.10
