September Ipsy Glam Bag: Makeup Look & Swatches

Tuesday, September 24, 2013

Hey guys! I'm back with another Ipsy Glam bag! This time it was a TON of eye stuff, but I'm pretty okay with that. I can use everything so it wasn't a disappointment at all. As always, the breakdown of the products and value will be down below.

September 2013 Ipsy Bag

  • Cailyn Tinted Lip Balm - Big Apple: 0.14oz size for Ipsy | Full size is .16 oz: $19. I'm counting this as basically full size. It's going to last me FOREVER!
  • Chella Ivory Lace Highlighter crayon: Full Size is $18. This one looks to be almost full size but I'm not sure. Again, will last me forever.
  • Elizabeth Mott It's So Big Mascara: 4ml About $10 | Full Size 10ml $19.99
  • Nyx Single Eye Shadow Hollywood: Full Size $4.50
  • Starlooks Kohl Eye Pencil in Obsidian: Full Size $12
Basically, the total retail value of this bag is about $63.50...maybe $60 if the Chella is not full size. Again, completely WORTH my $10 this month.

Okay, so now for my thoughts on each of the products. I'll have a completed look as well as a video at the bottom of the post!

So, i was completely impressed with my Cailyn gel eye liner from my June Ipsy bag so I was hoping that this tinted lip balm would have the same payoff. It totally did! I applied this over a sheer lip balm and it stayed on for hours! I went out to dinner with some friends over the weekend. I had this product on for about 6 hours or so before my lips started peeling. I didn't have my sheer balm with me so I couldn't moisturize. Still, this lasted a lot longer than any other lip product I own.


September 2013 Ipsy Bag - Cailyn Tinted Lip Balm

I don't have a highlighter pencil or product so I was happy to get this one in my bag. It goes on smooth and it blends out nicely. Because you don't need much of this, it's going to last you a while, even if you use it every single day.

September 2013 Ipsy Bag - Chella Ivory Lace Highlighter

I don't yet have a GREAT volumizing mascara. This one appears to have a fibrous formula which will lengthen and volumize your lashes. It did that, for sure, but I don't think this one is waterproof. I have an issue with mascaras that aren't waterproof. For whatever reason, I NEED my mascaras to be waterproof always.

I love Nyx products, but the color payoff with this one is close to nil. I will use this more as a highlighting color or for my inner corners. It has an amazing amount of SPARKLE, but the opacity sucks.

Finally, my Starlooks kohl eye pencil. It surprisingly went on fairly smooth for me. It didn't take long to line my lash line and I didn't have gaps or pulling. It might be a pain to have to sharpen this after so many uses, but hey, when I want soft and smoky eyes, I'll turn to this pencil right here.
