Yeah I know its December 13th...I'm a tad bit late on November's
IPSY review. But better late than never!
November's bag them was "Girl Meets Glitter."
When I first opened my bag I was kind of "Eh" about it all and didn't dive right in to try/swatch all the products. Glitter isn't usually my go-to. But the products ended up not being so bad.
Marc Anthony (You know, Jennifer Lopez's ex for all my fellow E! Online lovers) Oil of Morocco Argan Oil:
 |
I have a hard time finding a good hairspray that doesn't cost $20+ so I was eager to see if this one worked well. I want a hairspray that has good hold for when I curl my hair but doesn't make my hair feel like I loved it to be in 1990. Ahem ...(Cement-hard Aqua Net). This hairspray was just OK. It didn't make my hair stiff but it didn't have much of a hold and did not add any volume to my hair.
I wonder if JLo likes it. |
Be a Bombshell Cosmetics Eye Base:
 |
| This is a cream eye shadow that can be use on its own as an eye color or it can be used as a base for powder eye shadows. I like this product. It reminds me so much of the Maybelline Color Tattoos which are one of my favorite drugstore products. The bronze-y color is perfect for any neutral shade lover. This lasted all day on my lids without any creasing. |
 |
| Here's a swatch. The shade is called Submissive. |
Elizabeth Mott you're so FINE Eyeliner:
 |
| It took me a long time for me to want to try this. Mainly due to the name of the shade--"Glitterati." I wasn't excited to wear a glitterific eye liner, let's be honest here. So on a day off from work (there was no way I was going to test out a disco ball winged eye at work) I decided to test er' out...and I was pleasantly surprised! This mainly looks like a black liquid eye liner. It has a tiny bit of silver sparkle in it but it's barely noticeable. It is waterproof so it stayed put all day. This is a great eye liner for the holidays. |
 |
| Here's a swatch. It sent on super smoothly. |
J. Cat Beauty Wonder Lip Paint:
 |
| This was my least favorite product in the bag. First off, the color isn't right for me. It is SO liquid-y and very hard to apply. It applied super patchy and uneven. It felt like it would just run off my lips...which it did, it didn't last long at all. |
 |
| Unless you want some runny grape jelly for your lips, I do not recommend this product. |
TEMPTU S/B Highlighter:
 |
| This is a horrible out-of-focus photo, sorry. This was an ok highlighter. I, personally, am not a fan of liquid highlighters because I apply a cheek highlight after I've already use powder on my face. This would be a better option if you were highlighting/contouring with cream products. In this case it would be a great subtle highlighter to tap lightly just above the cheekbones. This could also be used on eye lids. |
 |
| Here's an intense swatch! I used a little too much here, and it's coming off as very shiny/shimmery. It's a very pretty iridescent champagne shade. A little goes a long way. |
Overall, this IPSY glam back was alright, it was much better than I thought it would be!
