Ipsy/MyGlam December 2012 Bag!

Oh how I love receiving packages in the mail! Especially when it involves a bag, beauty items and comes in a pink sparkly package! So what's that mean you might ask? It means that my monthly beauty subscription has arrived! Basically you spend $10 a month and around the 10th of each month Ipsy sends you a makeup bag full of beauty samples! This allows you to try the product in a mini version before buying the full size product. How cool! Lots of great products for an affordable rate!

So here is my inside view at the samples and the retail cost of each.

 

 

 

The pink sparkly packaging-seriously? How cute is this?

 

 

 

Ipsy December Glam Bag beauty samples-sometimes you can't get the packaging open fast enough to check out all the new samples!

 

 

The "information" card-very useful

 

Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencil : $14.25-I am not one to use a ton of eye pencils. I usually stick with black eyeliner and call it a day. I received a brown pencil last month and now this black one. I am excited because I am more likely to use this one. How many eye pencils do you use? And what colors?



 

Mirabella Prime for Face & Eyes: $29.00-I have never really used a primer before. If I need my makeup to "stick" I usually apply liquid foundation and then put the makeup on top. I am interested in seeing the difference in using a primer or not. What are your thoughts on using a primer?

 

NYX Loose Pearl Shadow: $3.00-This has to be one of my favorite items. Inexpensive and looks great. Apply it over the top of  your eyeshadow for a shimmery effect. Ipsy sent out a variety of colors but I received the "Mink Pearl".



 

Mai Couture Highlighter Papier: $7.00-So I saw this in the glambag and wondered "What is this, and how does it work?" So I hopped on the Ipsy website and did some research. The site states "Adds radiance and glow to desired areas of face and body. This shimmer highlighter paper will add luminosity to any dull skin". I haven't tried it yet but I am sure anything that adds all of that to the face and body is bound to be spectacular!



 

Be A Bombshell Lip Gloss: $14.00-I am normally not a "bright" colored lip gloss kinda girl but this shade is actually flattering with my skin tone. I have a little black dress with some red pumps that I plan on wearing for New Years Eve and this will add in some of that "bombshell" factor!

 

 

The glam bag: (no known retail cost)-Who doesn't like bags? I am a bag fanatic! Handbags, makeup bags, billfolds you name it. I see it. I want it. So receiving a new one each month is fantastic! This small handy bag matches my new gray Coach purse I just bought so I am thrilled!

 

A grand total of  $69.25 for this month’s ipsy Glam Bag. Which makes my spending of $10 even more of a greater deal! I just love that I am able to try out new products for such a great cost!
