Ipsy Glam Bag, boom!

_Ipsy Glam Bag September 2013 Edition_

“The idea of waiting for something makes it more exciting” 

Andy Warhol

I admit it, I have betrayed the Birchbox.  A few months ago I raved about how amazing the little box known as the Birchbox was.  Yes, I did in fact believe that the Birchbox was the Cat's Meow.  I was a Birchboxer until I saw the light.  I was randomly perusing blogs and came across an individual who had amazing things to say about the Ipsy Glam Bag.  Immediately I went over to Ipsy to find out more.  That very instant I canceled my Birchbox and signed up for Ipsy.  The waiting process was complete torture for someone as impatient as me.  Finally, this Saturday the husband tossed a shiny pink package on the sofa and as soon as I realized what it was my day was made.  I am a sucker for getting mail, what can I say.  It is my very first Ipsy bag, so, I don't have much to compare it to.  However, I love it. Also, like the Birchbox the Ipsy Glam Bag is ten dollars a month.  In my opinion, it is ten dollars worth spent!

So, in the September Ipsy Glam Bag we have:

/1./ Elizabeth Mott 'It's So Big Volumizing Mascara: I tried this out yesterday when I went out to lunch with the husband.  I can't say it is the best mascara my eye lashes have ever seen, however, it did its job.  My eye lashes looked full and voluminous, what more can I ask for?

/2./ NYX 'Single Eye Shadow': I received the shade known as 'Fantasy'.  It is a shimmery bronze color which I am pretty excited for.  It goes hand in hand with the shadow I am currently using, Bare Minerals 'Nude Beach'.  

/3./ Obsidian Kohl Eye Pencil by Starlooks: This eye liner went on super smooth.  At first I was like, "yay", this is awesome.  However, as the hours progressed it didn't look as great.  

/4./ Ivory Lace Highlighter Pencil by Chella:  I haven't tested out this bad boy yet.  However, if I were to judge from all the amazing reviews it has been given, I don't think I will be disappointed.  I'll let you know how it goes!

/5./ Pouty Pop Crayon by POP Beauty: My Pouty Pop Crayon was the Rose Romance.  It is almost a nude color which looks great for a pretty casual look.  I tried this on yesterday for an afternoon out on the town and I can't wait to use it again.  I think it will be perfect for those days where I'm looking for a more toned down look.  This was a win!

Oh, and let's not forget about the cute little pouch my goodies came in.  I think the little bag is adorable and is perfect to carry my chapstick and lipstick.  Plus, now every month I'll be able to switch it out for a new one, score.  I can't wait to see what next month has in store for me!  Oh, and Ipsy>Birchbox, the end!
