Ipsy Subscription Glam Bag Review - September 2015

Hello Beauties <3

If you subscribe to Ipsy, each month you will receive a cute Glam Bag filled with a mix of 5 full sized beauty products or deluxe samples all for just $10.

Here is a peek of the September Glam Bag

This NYX eyeshadow trio was made exclusively for Ipsy. Each shadow is 0.035 oz, compliment each other and can be worn together or separately. The colors do not have names but are referred to as color 1, 2 and 3.

Here are the swatches, Color 1 on top is very light and you may have to build it up to get good color payoff. It will work perfectly in the corner of your eyes or under your brow bone to add a pop of highlight. Color 2 was a nice all over the lid shadow and Color 3 works well for a smokey eye look.

Hip Hip Hooray....another Sephora Haul

Hello Beauties <3

How fun is it to come home after a long day at the office and be welcomed by a bunch of Sephora boxes dropped off by the UPS guy for the umpteenth time. I often wonder what goes through his mind when he realizes he will be bringing my goodies to me once again in any given week.

First up is my eyeshadow palette haul. Like many other beauty addicts, I have more palettes that will last me a lifetime ten times over but........ I can't pass up palettes with gorgeous packaging especially when they are on sale.

Next up is some OCC goodies. Like the brand name suggests, I am obsessed with their lip tars, pencils and nail polish.

Lip Tar Mattes from left to right are: Lydia, Digitalis and Momento

Lip Tar Stained Gloss in Dekadent

Lydia is my favorite one from this haul. Here's a helpful hint when using lip tars.... shake well before applying and let the matte lip tars dry a few minutes before eating or drinking. They go on a little wet? liquid-y? but they dry to a nice matte finish and last a good 6 hours.

Until my next haul arrives.........
