November 2013 Ipsy Glam Bag – Glam it Up

Every month Ipsy comes in this awesome pink metallic mailer. I hoard them like some crazy lady. I only send my favorite people these mailers!

The theme for this month’s Ipsy Glam Bag is Glam It Up! There’s also a card for founder Michelle Phan’s Em Cosmetics line.

The back of the information card tells you the participating brands.

The bag! Love this month’s! It’s so pretty! What do you use your bags for?

All the goods!

BH Cosmetics Galaxy Chic Baked Eyeshadow in Asteroid ($~2) This closes with a neat magnetic closure. I’m not so sure about this color, but I’m willing to try it out! It’s quite a pretty purple color on my hand.

Pixi Bronzer – Subtly Suntouched ($5) This bronzer is “Medium honey tan” and it’s a great subtle color without too much shimmer!

Be a Bombshell Lip Crayon – Hot Damn ($14) Hot Damn, That’s RED! I tried it, it’s super red! Nice formula.

em cosmetics lash gallery lengthening mascara – black ($20) I was so disappointed in this. I didn’t get a color cosmetic from em, plus… I just don’t think it’s a great mascara. It’s thin, the brush is meh, don’t know why anyone would pay $20 for it when you can get Maybelline Full & Soft (my gold standard).

Starlooks Liner in Topaz ($14) This is a great color! I’m leaving it sealed for gifting because I already have a couple pencils that are similar to this one. My 13 year old cousin will love it! She’s starting to get into makeup and I know she will appreciate it. Aunt Brandy is allowed to give makeup 🙂

Nailtini Nail Polish – Caviar Cocktail ($13) This is a huge bottle of polish!

My November Ipsy Glam Bag had about $68 in value! Due to a holiday gift mixup (everything I sent home with my family so I could wrap it when I get home was… distributed to family members… um ok…) I’m gifting most of this bag to the 13 year old. Except the red lip crayon! I think she’s truly going to enjoy experimenting with the products, plus the bag itself is so giftable! It’s hard for me to give away my fun finds but my need to have a gift outweighs my need to play with this makeup! I was 100% happy with my ALL MAKEUP Ipsy though. I loved that!
