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.

(1)  Re:p{real element practice
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)
Wet n Wild Photo Focus Concealer (light ivory)
Dew the Hoola 
Milani Prep+Set+Go Transparent Face Powder
Physicians Formula Argan Wear Blush (Natural)
Wet n Wild Megaglo Highlighting Powder (precious petals)


Face Brushes: 
Beauty Blender 
XO Beauty Vegan Powder
Luxie Lush 504 Large Angled 
XO Beauty Vegan Shimmer Tulip










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



(3) Elizabeth Mott POP! Go the Shadow (toasted)

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 
















(5) Ciate London Wonderwand Mascara.

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)

Revlon ColorStay Skin Awaken 5-in-1 Concealer | Makeup

  Revlon Colorstay Skin Awaken 5-in-1 Concealer  Revlon has a new Colorstay concealer that I had to share for different reasons. I've been trying it out for the past few weeks and have my shades down and also the way I like to apply it! So I thought I would let you in on my secrets... My fair with neutral undertones skin has done best with the shade fair in the concealer although I'm super close to the shade, vanilla as well. My absolute favorite way of wearing this concealer formula is day-to-day by itself. It's that "your skin but better" look where I only use spot concealer under my eyes and where needed. It blends in without leaving weird patches but wears nicely in place. The only complaint here is the creasing I do experience with fine lines and creases that are on my skin. A little setting powder fixes that. I have tried the universal neutralizer and wasn't a fan. I'm sure it would be nice for most, but my fair skin doesn't mix well with the sha...

Good Molecules Cleansing Bar & Caffeine Energizing Hydrogel Eye Patches // Skincare

Good Molecules Cleansing Bar & Caffeine Energizing Hydrogel Eye Patches // Skincare I have plenty of skincare blogs coming your way, but I wanted to post again about Good Molecules and their products I've been loving.  I do have a video on these products, mainly so on the eye patches, but now that I have been using both of them for awhile I wanted to share my thoughts.  Caffeine Energizing Hydrogel Eye Patches I have always enjoyed any eye product. From eye masks like these to eye creams. They both make a huge difference in my skincare. I go through spells of little sleep and gradually see my under eye area get darker and darker. I'm also paranoid of getting eye wrinkles so I try to keep my eye area super hydrated and even throw in anti-aging in the mix once in awhile. What I can say is that I was not expecting what happened with these eye patches. Yes I'm used to hydration boosts with eye masks, but the difference you see immediately with th...

Skincare & Makeup Haul

Skincare & Makeup Haul I've never done a "haul" on my blog before, but I thought it would be a cool idea plus it would be a sneak peak of things that I'll be trying out for future reviews.  Skincare: I have been loving trying out new skincare items and although my skincare bin is a little full at the moment there was a few things I was running low on and a few things that I couldn't pass on!  I was running low on both makeup removing wipes and micellar water, so I picked these up at Target. I often use a moisturizer from the Simple brand, but I've never tried their wipes or micellar water before. It's cheaper in the long run buying the two pack of wipes, but I do hope these work good!  My nose has once again started getting clogged with blackheads. I've been trying out a few different foundations and wearing makeup just about everyday and my skin just isn't use to that. After taking a two week break from makeup a...
