While so many of you have already tried the infamous Ipsy Glam Bag, the May bag was my first. I was pleasantly surprised and impressed by the quality of the products and the service.

Haven't heard of Ipsy Glam Bag? Each month, subscribers will receive a beautiful Glam Bag with deluxe samples and full-sized beauty products. Members can watch and play along with the stylists with the same products that they are using. All for only $10 a month (or in my case, $15 including shipping to Canada).

Inside of May 2013 Bag:

• Zoya Nailpolish in Gie Gie
• MiraBella Colour Sheers Lipstick in Posy
• Pacifica Island Vanilla Perfume Roll-on
• Anastasia Beverly Hills Clear Brow Gel
• Yaby Concealer in Buff
• Cute, spring-y makeup bag

 

 

 

 

 

I've had Maybelline Eyestudio Color Explosion for sometime now. The product price ranges from $5.99 to $10.99. I believe it is a good deal for the money. The quality is also not bad, and is much better when used with eye-shadow primer. It doesn't hurt to try it!

This eye-shadow is a 5-shade palette that includes a liner shade, a light base, eyelid shade, crease shade, and a luminizing silver top coat.

The light purple base was not as pigmented as the rest of the palette, but overall, I was happy with final results. I can even wear the liner by itself. It's a nice deep purple colour.

PRODUCT LIST:

• DiorSkin Nude in 010
• Physicians Formula Gentle Cover Stick Concealer in Light and Medium

• theBalm blush in Hot Mama
• Rimmel Lipstick in Frosted 272
• Yves Saint Laurent Mascara in 01 Black
• Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Gel
• Spectrum Cosmetics Eye Primer
• Maybelline EyeStudio Color Explosion in Amethyst Ablazed

The January edition of my Glymm subscription arrived today! Finally! I've been waiting since January 13th, the day when I was sent a shipping notification. I am sure I am one of the last girls to receive it as Vancouver is on the other side of Canada ( the company is based out of Montreal). The box is worth the wait!

My initial reaction: The cute little jar of jelly beans is not included. How unfortunate! I believe it makes the experience extra sweet... extra girly and indulging. I've been looking forward to each month's special flavor of jelly beans. I am hoping the February edition would have some...perhaps pink, white, and red beans in honor of Valentine's.

Otherwise, I am happy with my box, and the fact that the Cargo eyeliner is not black but light brown, a perfect shade because I have way too many black eyeliners.

I would rate this month's box as a 4/5. And will be continuing with Glymm's service. Now looking forward to February! Valentine's themed, perhaps?
