September Ipsy Glam Bag Review - Street Style


The Box: Ipsy
The Price: $10/month
The Goods: 4-5 full and deluxe-sample sized beauty products chosen based on your beauty profile.


September's theme is Street Style.  The makeup bag is a soft faux leather type material and I love it.  It might be my favorite one ever.


Crown Brush C476 Shadow/Crease Brush Duo: ($6.99)  I've heard good things about this line of brushes, but I really dislike the fact that it's dual-ended.  I store my brushes standing up, so this will probably become a travel-only brush to keep from ruining one end.


Pacifica Waterproof Eye Pencil - Fringe: ($2.86)  I really wish this were the black or pewter color; I feel like brown eye liner just looks odd on me.  The last thing I need is another eye liner, so I guess it works out.


Alterna Caviar CC Cream: ($8.50)  A woman I know is infatuated with this stuff.  Since it's her HG hair product, I have very high hopes for it.


Nourish Organic Moisturizing Cream Facial Cleanser: ($2.33)  Okay, I lied when I said that more eye liner was the last thing I needed.  More face wash is actually the last thing I need.  This will be swapped.


Hikari Lipstick - Cabernet: ($13)  Something about the shape of this lipstick made it really difficult for me to apply it without getting it in places I didn't want it.  The color payoff is great, but it's also great on anything your lips touch.  The staying power leaves something to be desired.


Several months ago I would have said the color was too bold for me, but I really quite like how it looks with my current hair color.  Plus, J commented that my makeup looked pretty - even though the lipstick was the only thing on my face.

I didn't even bother brushing my hair for y'all.  Rude.
 Total Value: $33.68

I was pretty happy last month so I had pretty much prepared myself to be disappointed this month.  It seems like September was the bag of "almost, but not quite" products for me.  Hopefully the CC cream will be its saving grace!
