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.

Retail: $13

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

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.

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 :)

The first item I pulled out was the BARR-CO. ORIGINAL SCENT REED DIFFUSER in the scent Original which is a blend of milk, oatmeal, and vetvier.

Next up were a pack of KITSCH HEADBANDS. These are ribbon like headbands and come in many different colors. I received 5 headbands and the colors are a bright orange, gray, purple, black and brown.

****This image above is NOT my bag.  I didn't have a chance to take one of my bag as I am currently moving and needed to pack things up.****

The theme of this month was Glamour Academy in honor of going back to school. I really like the bag which has a purple and gold print and can't wait to take it to class with me.

______________________________________________________

The first item I pulled out was the Pixi Beauty Lash Booster Mascara in Blackest Black. This is sample sized. This mascara was ok to me but would be great on people who have thick eyelashes. I have thin eyelashes so I only use volumizing mascara but this did the trick with length. The only thing I did not like was it didn't want to come off! That is good for waterproof but this isn't waterproof. I scrubbed with my makeup remover and it took a couple days to fully come off.

I would not recommend this product.

I did not receive a full size

Retail Value Full Size: $17.

The next item I received was the Michael Todd Jojoba Charcoal Gentle Exfoliating Facial Scrub. This is sample sized. The sample is 1 fl with the full sized at 3.4 fl so the sample is a great travel size and try me size. I really enjoy this scrub. You first cleanse the face then use this once a week or so depending on your skin. I like how it makes my skin feel and I can feel it pulling out the toxins in my skin.

I would recommend this product.

I did not receive a full size.

Next was the Chella Dazzling Dark Brown Eyebrow Color Pencil. This is full sized. I really like this product. It is the perfect shade for me and a great size that will last a while. I usually use a pencil but this one is a very thin eyeliner crayon type constancy  It twists up and down which is nice so you can't break or damage the tip easily.

I would recommend this product.

Next up was a Noya lip balm. This is full sized. The flavor I received was Cherry. I believe a girl can never have enough lip balms so I was glad to get this. I really like it because it doesn't make my lips feel too greasy. I also have trouble finding lip balms that don't make my lips have a white film (anyone else have that problem) and this one doesn't do that.

I would recommend this product.

Retail Value: $3.99

The final product I received was the Pacifica Alight Multi-Mineral BB Cream. This is sample sized. This is a great sample size and has alot in it for me to try out. I enjoy this BB cream because it give me a nice glow. It doesn't offer alot of coverage like my Olay BB Cream but on makeup free days when I want my skin to shine through I put this on and I look like I am glowing without having oily skin.

I do recommend this product.

I also received and extra item in my bag for referring people so thank you to everyone who used my link :) I got a full sized Lime Crime nail polish in the color Crema de Limon.
