October IPSY Bag

I just got my October Ipsy bag today, it was pretty late this month but so excited when I saw that pretty pink bag in my mailbox this morning! For those who don't know what Ipsy is you can read my September blog post and I explain all about it.

This months theme is Art of Beauty. The bag it came in this month was a cute white bag with red writing, it says " Love of beauty is taste. The creation of beauty is art." I liked last months bag better but I will still use this. I got five products as does everyone.


I received a Starlooks Lip Liner in the color Tipsy (full size), which is a light pink almost peachy color. I actually really like it, I usually go for reds but I wore it today and I liked it. It is pretty drying as are pretty much all lipliners but it wears fairly well. I am huge on lipliners they are my  most worn lip products. This I believe retails for $12.00, would I purchase this myself for $12... defintely not. I feel like it doesn't look or feel like a high end brand. I much prefer my drug store lip liners.





My favorite product I got was a Zoya nail polish (full size) in the color Giovanna which is a metallic emerald green color. I freaking LOVE this color. I have been really wanted a beautiful emerald green polish for fall and this one is perfect!! This is my first Zoya nail polish as it is not sold in any stores around me, well that I have seen. This one is from their new fall line Cashmeres and Satins and I was soo sooo excited when I pulled this out. Also I love the packaging, it comes in a sleek black box and even the bottle looks high end. Simple yet Sleek. I immediatly took my nail polish off today and did my nails with it. It went on smooth , no clumps so we shall see how long it wears but I honestly can`t see myself having anything negative to say about this product. These retail for $8 on their website and is you are a member of Ipsy they have a coupon code to buy 2 get 1 free.








When I pulled out this next product I was a little unsure about it. It is a Bella Terra Mineral Cosmetics pigment in the shade Emotion. I had never heard of the brand and usually am not a fan of pigments because they are so messy. When I swatched this on my hand I immediatly feel in love with the color. It is a beautiful purple that is so shimmery and metallic and super pigmented. Purple eye shadow is one of my favorite looks to rock. I think it is a great shade for anyone. I cant tell you how it wears yet but I will update in a future post. This retails for $14.99 on bellaterracosmetics.com






The only thing in this months bag that I wasn't thrilled with was the Style Sexy Hair Texturizing Spray Clay. (deluxe sample) I already knew it probably wouldn't work in my hair, I have really curly hair with lots of texture so I passed it off to my husband thinking this would probably work with him. He used it and literally told me it was  the worst hair product he had ever used! lol and he is a man who never has an opinion on any product, Please comment and let me know if you have any ways I could make this product work. The sample was 50 ml or 1.4 ounces,  Full Size is $18.95 on Ultas website.



Actually I was super surprised to see that I had gotten a costal scents brush. It was the first thing I saw because it couldn't actually fit in the bag. I believe it is the medium shadow brush. I mean what can I say...it is an eye shadow brush it works just fine, I will get tons of use from it. It isn't the greatest brush but not the worst...its just okay and I am completley fine with it.

 
 
 
 

 
 
 
I was definitely really happy with this month, like I said the only thing I won't use is the spray clay. Everything except the spray clay was full size! I believe this months bag was a $45 value which is a great bargain for the $15 a paid for it!
