November Ipsy Bag Unbagging and Review :)

November Ipsy Bag Unbagging and Review :)


Make sure to watch and like my video above of my Unbagging :) Also subscribe :)


This month was awesome because we got 6 items when we usually get 4 to 5! Also they were all either full sized or great sample sized so I am very pleased with this months bag. The theme was Glam it Up and the bag was gold snakeskin.

The first item I pulled out was from Em Michelle Phan and it is the Lash Gallery Volume mascara. I was happy to get this because the volume mascara I usually use was all dried up. I enjoy this and think it gives good volume.
I do recommend this item if you want to spend $20 on a mascara. I personally think you can get the same quality or better in a drug store.
Retail: $20

The next item was a Be a Bombshell Lip Crayon in Shameless. The color is so pretty and perfect for fall winter. It is a medium tone wine and this lasted me through a shift at work (6 hours) and didn't feel drying and faded nicely.
I do recommend this item.
Retail: $14
Use code Ipsy40 for 40% off below and a free Coca delight lip gloss

Next was a nail polish from Nailtini in Champagne and it is a beautiful rose gold color. I have yet to use it but all the other Nailtini products I have used I have loved.
I do recommend this item
Retail: $13
Use code ipsy4glam for 50& and a free eyeliner with an order of $25 or more below

The next item I pulled out was the Pixi Beauty Bronzer. This is a deluxe sample and a great sample size. I use this over my BB cream to set my face then follow up with a slightly darker bronzer. I like this because it offers a hint of color and goes on smoothly.
I do recommend this item.
Full size retail: $18
Use code bronzepixi below for 25% off

Next I got a Starlooks Gem Eye pencil in Amethyst. This is GORGEOUS! I haven't used this yet but it glides on so well onto my hand and is a great silvery light purple color that is great for the holidays.
I do recommend this item
Retail: $14
Use code Ipsy below for 40% off

The final item I pulled out was a sample from the new BH Cosmetics Galaxy Palette. I got the eye shadow sample Sun. It is so pretty and greats a perfect rosy coppery color.
I do recommend this item
Palette Retail: $14.95
Use code ipsy20 for 20% off of the Palette below.


Overall this bag was so good! 4/6 of the items were fullsized and I liked every single one!

Retail value of 4 fullsized products: $61 which is a steal at $10 a month!

Rimmel London Stay Matte Liquid Mousse Foundation Review!

Rimmel London Stay Matte Liquid Mousse Foundation Review



Watch my Unboxing and First Impression Video above!

*** I received this product complimentary from Influenster***

I enjoyed receiving this product. I have very oily skin and was excited to try out a foundation that would give me coverage and control my oil. I usually use a light BB cream everyday but some days I want a little extra cover so I reach for my Rimmel BB cream that I enjoy as well. I wore this all day without any oil control primer or oil control setting spray to see how matte it would make me all day. I did get a bit dewy by the end of the day but nothing too bad. I also noticed that this product does oxidize throughout the day. This means as the air mixes with it it turns orange. It might also have been because of the rain lately hitting my face as I go to class. I also think that when i wear this I should wear a lighter shade of bronzer so it doesn't look as orange by the end of the day.


I did enjoy this and will be testing it with different primers and sprays and bronzers to see how I can get coverage and the right color for me. 


Make sure to check out this product as it hits shelves in January :)
