Glitter Me Girly

Oh Ipsy has done it once again with its November Glam Bag - Girl Meets Glitter. It was absolutely marvelous. There wasn't one product in the bag that didn't work its magic. Let's get to know this month's bag!

This month's Ipsy Bag was called "Girl Meets Glitter" and it had me gleaming with joy.

From it's bright pink zipper (my favorite) to its nail lacquer look and feel, the bag was glittering with fun. This is definitely now my go-to bag to stash my girly girl makeup. Forever 21 is a clothing and cosmetics company which gears to a younger audience  and was this month's brand of choice to design such a pretty and girly makeup bag for Ipsy.

In this month's Ipsy bag I received three full sized and two sample sized beauty products. Inside I found the J.Cat Wonder Lip Paint, Be a Bombshell Eye Base, Temptu Highlighter, Elizabeth Mott Eyeliner and the Marc Anthony Argan Oil. Let's take a closer look at all these amazing beauty products.

 J.Cat Beauty Wonder Lip Paint

The J.Cat Beauty Wonder Lip Paint in the color Red Potion was outstanding. I was lucky enough to receive the full size which retails for $4.99. The lip paint's color is a little intense and has lots of pigmentation. If you're looking for a more subtle daytime look I would say a little goes a long way with this lip paint. So dab lightly. Increase the color as you go because the more you apply the darker it will appear. The formulation is very liquidly. You will definitely need to use a lip brush when applying to your lips. The lip paint also gives my lips a glossy effect.  Beauty Tip: I found that tapping my finger against my lips gave the lip paint a more even look. All in all I give this Lip Paint a thumbs up.

Elizabeth Mott You're so Fine Water Proof Liquid Eyeliner

The Elizabeth Mott You're So Fine Water Proof Liquid Eyeliner in the color Glitterati ($17.99 value) made a fabulous addition.
I've never liked liquid liners but this liner was different than the rest. It contains micro glitter which I just love. It gives any eye look a festive appeal. And with the holidays fast approaching it would be great to use. Something else that I really enjoyed was that it didn't transfer on my eyelid, it doesn't smudge or even fade off. It's an A+ in my book. 

Marc Anthony Oil of Morocco Argan Oil Volume Shine Hairspray       

With this wintery weather and gusty winds at times I'm in desperate need of hairspray that can make my hair stay in place without the stiffness.  The Marc Anthony Oil of Morocco Argan Oil Volume Shine Hairspray ($8.29 Value) was absolutely fantastic. It definitely did that and more. Unlike other hairsprays that have a not-so-great odor; this one had an amazing smell to it. It left my hair stiff free, with no stickiness at all, and didn't even make my hair frizzy either. Astonishing! right?! It gives my hair the perfect amount of hold and makes it look healthy too. It's also the perfect size to carry in my bag for those touch up days.

 

 

Temptu S/B Highlighter

   

I'm always looking for a new highlighter and when I saw the Temptu S/B Highlighter ($27.50) I was definitely a happy camper. I highlighted my cheek bones, down the strip of my nose, along my temples and even on the tip of my cupid's bow just to give that extra pouty look to my lips. It was subtle and effective. It gave me just enough shimmer and shine to give me the look I was going for. I will definitely be repurchasing this when I run out.

 

 

Be A Bombshell Eye Base

 

The Be A Bombshell Eye Base in the shade Submissive ($14.00 Value) was quite surprising to me. I say that because I was able to use it in many different ways. It works great to use as a eyeshadow for a subtle daytime look or I could use it as a base color to build up an eyeshadow for more of a smokey eye look. I found it to be highly pigmented, long lasting and fade resistant. The texture was very smooth and easily glided on. I see myself purchasing more from Be a Bombshell Cosmetics.

 

As you can see, I received three full-sized products that totaled a value of over $36.00. It's an amazing deal. Don't wait and sign up for this fabulous monthly subscription.
