I was really happy with my Glam Bag for August. The bag itself is super cute and fits my makeup nicely. I love the orange polka dots! But I was even more excited to try what was inside.
Coastal Scents Forever Blush Sample Duo: I really like these blushes, which is saying a lot since I've been more of a cheek stain kinda gal lately. They give a nice hint of color and shimmer to my cheeks without being overwhelmingly bright.
Absolute Lip Balm: This balm was light, with a non greasy moisture to it. It had a grape scent/flavor. I'm normally not a fan of grape, because I usually feel like it's overdone to the point of tasting like cough syrup, but this was just a hint of grape. I also liked that it had some glitter in it. It was just enough to give my lips a bit of sparkle without being garish.
Dr. Brandt Pores No More Pore Refiner: The first time I applied this product I got a little nervous because it felt almost greasy at first. I have really oily skin and I thought that greasy feel was going to be a problem, but as I rubbed it in and the product dried, it had a more powdery finish than anything else. While I don't think it really made my pores look any smaller, I do think it stopped my makeup from melting off my face.
Lord & Berry Silk Kajal Kohl Eye Pencil: This pencil had a rich black color and glided nicely over my skin without pulling. I lined my inner lids as well and the color stayed put. No raccoon eyes!
Urban Decay Perversion Mascara: This is the sample that I was by far the most excited to try. I love Urban Decay products, and I'm a huge fan of their Perversion Eyeliner. I missed out on the chance to get a sample direct from Urban Decay and I was pretty bummed about it. Needless to say I broke out into a mega happy dance when I unzipped my Glam Bag and this beaut was sitting inside. The color on this is INTENSE black. I tried it first with no other makeup on and the difference was crazy- it pumped up my lashes big time and made my eyes pop. Even the boyfriend noticed the difference. I will definitely be grabbing myself a full sized version.
Overall I was quite pleased this month. Keep it up, ipsy! Can't wait to see what's in my September bag. ;)
xoxo,
Kitty
