October Ipsy Bag

Hi everyone!

I'm kind of obsessed with subscription beauty boxes lately! I subscribed to Birchbox for over a year, but recently cancelled my subscription so that I could try a few other services. Now, there is nothing wrong with Birchbox, in fact I've had a few gems come from my Birchboxes, I just started feeling like I was getting a lot of the same things every month. So it was time to change it up a bit! 

I chose to subscribe to Ipsy because I felt like they sent more from brands I really like and purchase from often. It is the same price as the Birchbox subscription ($10 a month) and you get a small makeup bag (or "Glam Bag") each month! I have to say I was really happy with my first Ipsy bag! 

First, lets talk about this months adorable bag! It is so pretty! It's is a small, quilted, teal/ greenish-blue, faux patent leather bag! It is the perfect size to throw in your purse, keep in your office desk, or keep in your car! I especially love the placement of the zipper on this bag and it makes for a really nice and "different" type of design! 

The first item in my bag was this gorgeous Nicole by OPI Nail Lacquer in On A Guilt Trip! It is a beautiful gold color with tiny flecks of shimmer and glitter. I was really happy to see this in my bag since I really like Nicole by OPI polishes! I think this will be a great color for the upcoming holidays! ;)

Next item in my bag was a deluxe sample sized lipstick by Noyah. This brand was completely new to me, but I was very pleasantly surprised by it! The lipstick is a perfect color for fall and definitely plays into the whole 90's grunge lipstick trend that is happening right now! In fact, the color reminds me a lot of Gerard Cosmetics 1995 lipstick by Jaclyn Hill! It is very creamy, super pigmented and really feels like a great quality product! I'm really looking forward to wearing this more!

This next item actually blew me away! I'll explain- It is Skone Cosmetics Tatooed Waterproof Eyeliner. It is a black liquid liner pen with a felt tip and it seems to be the most long lasting liquid eyeliner I have ever come across! When I was going going through the bag and swatching everything for the first time, I drew a couple of lines on my hand with this. It dried really quickly and I didn't think anything of it and just kind of left it there while I did some baking that night. I was in the kitchen baking for about 3 hours and doing countless mountains of dishes and at the end of the night when I was finished cleaning up I noticed the liner lines again. OMG.. they didn't budge or fade at all!! They were still perfect- hence the blown away part! I haven't had a chance to try this on my eyes yet, but I am super excited to see how this holds up! 

I also received a small jar of Ayres Patagonia Body Butter. I'm not a huge fan of body butters for moisturizers (I don't know why, just not my thing-maybe just too thick for me) but this one smells really fresh and clean and almost like an aromatherapy product. It also seemed to be a little on the thinner side for a body butter, which is a good thing for me! Seeing as chillier days are finally upon us (which means super dry skin for me) I will probably be using this one before bed!

The final item in my bag was an Indie Lee Brightening Cleanser. This too smells very fresh and clean! I'm really excited to try this one, especially because (like I said) the colder weather is coming and anything that can help with dry, dull, winter skin is appreciated!

Overall, I was really happy with my October Ipsy bag! It seemed to me that the products they featured this month were very "Fall" appropriate and I actually see myself using everything! If you're interested in subscribing to Ipsy see my referral link below! For just $10 a month, it's always fun to see what these subscription boxes send every month! I highly recommend giving it a try!

Thanks for reading!
