September 2017 Ipsy Glam Bag Review & Try On

September 2017 Ipsy Glam Bag




If you're not familiar with Ipsy, it's a monthly subscription bag with 4-5 full and/or sample sized beauty products. I've been getting one for two and an half  years  now. Even though some bags are hit or miss, I've continued to be subscribed so I can try out new items. I feel like Ipsy has really upped their game this year and I've loved every bag I've gotten. I'll be sharing my bag with you every month with my own personal review of the bag itself, and each product in it. I'll also blog about how certain makeup wears, feels, and my own opinion of the product. The same for skincare products, and how they work with my skin type.  I hope you enjoy my August  2017 Glam Bag (If you're interested in subscribing to Ipsy's monthly Glam Bag, I'll post the link down below).


I originally got my September Ipsy Glam Bag around mid-month, but I'm just now reviewing it because this was going to be the month I branched out and reviewed more subscriptions. This is not happening due to the fact that those subscriptions are delayed in the shipping process. I'm hoping to get reviews on them up towards the end of this week. To jump into this months bag  it is super cute and has a sexy vibe to it. It has the look and feel of leather and has little spikes all over. This theme as you can see, is LIKE. A. BOSS. 
I did decide to throw a look in this blog using each product I received like I normally do.

Bio fresh Mask with real calming herbs.
I tried this mask out last night after I had washed my face. I loved the fact that it really is very calming, but I'm not a huge fan of products that have a lot of chunks in them (as you can see in the pictures) even if they are herbs. The overall mask was nice and left my face calm and refreshed!

The full size is $41.00
My sample is around $6.00













(2)  Feel Renewed 
pumpkin walnut facial cleanser.
I washed my face with this cleanser this morning instead of my usual to try it out and get my opinion of it. When I first smelled this I didn't think I would like it. If you enjoy pumpkin scents, then you'll love it. I'm usually not a fan, but I was pleasantly surprised when I actually did enjoy using this and it really put me in a fall mood! My skin felt amazing after using this too!

The full size is $28.00
My sample is $7.00































Other Face Products:
Mac Fix +
Too Faced Hangover Primer
Stila Aqua Glow Serum Foundation (fair)
Ulta Beauty Juice Infused Lip Oil (sweet rose)

Milani Prep+Set+Go Transparent Face Powder
Physicians Formula Argan Wear Blush (Natural)

Face Brushes: 
Beauty Blender

Eyes: 
Urban Decay Naked 3 Palette 
Elizabeth Mott POP! Go the Shadow (toasted)
Ulta Beauty Brow Tint (light)
Paula Dort Enhancer (nude eyeliner)






This really was a good shadow and formula, but I felt this was just really repetitive in what I've gotten before in these glam bags. The shade we've seen a dozen times and the sample size isn't the best. I can easily pop (no pun intended) it out and place it in a Z Palette. I incorporated this shade with a few other from the Naked 3 Palette, but I focused this just on my lid. 

Full size is $13.00
My sample is $4.55





I've said in my blogs before that I love receiving brushes from subscriptions, but when they're from brands that are my favorite, it's even better! I love Luxie Brushes so much! The quality is so good and they can make any eye look flawless. Ipsy introduced me to these brushes and I love that I still continue to receive them. This brush didn't let me down. 

This brush is $12.00




Other Eye Brushes: 
XO Beauty Vegan Brow Groomer
XO Beauty Vegan Shadow 

















I curled my lashes and then tried this Ciate mascara out for the first time. I wasn't blown away with the formula like I am about the L'oreal Voluminous Lash Paradise Mascara, but it was a decent one that I would continue to use. My favorite part about this item is the wand! These are my favorite kind of wands for sure! 

Full size is $22.00
My sample is $11.00 



I added this Wet n Wild Lipstick (Think Pink) to this look and it's finished! 










My overall Glam Bag Total for this Month is $40.55 
That's great for a $10.00 (monthly subscription)

Tarte [Make Believe in Yourself] Mystical Dreamy Blues Tutorial

 Tarte [Make Believe in Yourself] Mystical Dreamy Blues Tutorial  I recently did a review the Tarte Make Believe in Yourself   eyeshadow palette. In that review I shared some looks that I created with it and will be sharing each of those tutorials with you. First Aid Beauty Ultra Repair Cream. I started this look by prepping my skin with First Aid Beauty Ultra Repair Cream. I used this because my skin was so dry! I followed that up with Physicians Formula Primer Argan Wear (with coconut and argan oil). I used that as my primer today.  I also used some color corrector concealer from the brand Aurora in the shade Pistachio. This is a new favorite of mine! I love how well it covers up any redness or blemishes. This was mentioned in my last Ipsy blog (I'll link below).  Physicians Formula Primer Argan Wear Aurora Pro Color Corrector (Pistachio).  EOS lip balm I moisturized my lips with some  EOS lip balm and ...

Makeup Monday // JSC Jawbreaker + Mini Breaker

Makeup Monday // JSC Jawbreaker + Mini Breaker I wasn't sure if I'd bring palettes back to my blog or not since they're discussed so much on my channel , but for sake of a pretty photo-op moment, I'm doing this. Ha!  I'm usually over the moon for every Jeffree Star Cosmetics launch and this one wasn't any different. I feel like only Jeffree could make a palette this full of insane colors and get away with it. With that being said when opening the Jawbreaker palette I can honestly say I did feel a little overwhelmed which is weird because I'm not one to shy away from color. I think it can still be challenging finding the right shades to put together to complement each other, but I can say once you dip into the shades that feeling goes away quickly. It's not as intimidating as you think it is. I created four colorful while still bring wearable looks with the Jawbreaker and had fun each day picking the palette up. I love being excited to do ...

Skincare Reviews // Coola, Vasanti, Clinique, Avatara, & I Dew Care

Skincare Reviews // Coola, Vasanti, Clinique, Avatara, & I Dew Care Coola Sport White Tea Moisturizer SPF 50   $32 I took this gem with me on vacation and it did amazing! With an SPF 50 I didn’t have to worry about getting my face burnt. Who wants dry, red, and peeling skin when you have videos to film and blogs to get done? Not me! I took my skincare very seriously and this item made it super easy! Although, this has SPF is was just a moisturizer. It also felt just like a moisturizer, not oily, greasy, or film-like at all! It sank right into my skin and kept me protected. I can also say this worked with my sensitive skin well and didn't break me out at all! If you're fair, burn easily, and have sensitive skin I really recommend this product. Even if you don't, I recommend this as a great SPF moisturizer that everyone could benefit from.  Vasanti Brighten Up! Enzymatic Face Rejuvenator $29 I tried this product sometime last yea...
