Novembers Ipsy Bag!!

Well it's that time again which is easily becoming my favorite time of the month! Ipsy bag time and I am so happy because I got my bag early this month. I didn't end up getting it last month until the 24th btut I heard they are shipping out to all the Canadian Ipsters first as it takes longer so that is great for me! Also this month is extra special as we received a bonus item which is a full size Em by Michelle Phan product! Woohoo!

Here is an overview of what I received and then I will go into depth a little more with each product.
    Oh and here's what the bag looks like this month!! Its so freaking cute!!!





Let's talk about the coveted bonus Em by Michelle Phan product we all knew we would be getting this month. I got the Lash Gallery Mascara in the shade Brown. I almost forgot they even sold brown mascara, I just assumed it would be in black. I was a tad disappointed because I am not sure what brown mascara would look on me. I am still undecided on weather or not I am going to trade it or keep it to try out for myself. I was super impressed by the packaging though, very sleek and chic looking!








I believe we all received a nail polish this month from Nailtini, so everyone would be getting one of two colors, Cavier Cocktail and Cognac. I received the shade Cavier Cocktail which is a metallic silver shade. I liked both so I didin;t really favor towards one of the other. I mean I have a ton of nail polish and a few shades similar to this one but am still excited to try! I never tried a Nailtini Polish before so we'll see. I will update later with a pic of what it looks like on.




Now for the token lip product, I got the Be a Bombshell Lip Crayon in the shade Hot Damn. It is a bright red shade. (A lot of people complain that most lip products we receive are red shades but it honestly doesn't bother me at all as those shades work best with my skin tone.)
 I wore this at work today and I loved the color and the feel of it on the lips but it is not really long lasting.. kind of a bummer but I will still wear it I will just have to carry it with me.








I am so glad I got a powder product this month because I love to try those. I got a Pixi bronzer in the shade Subtly Suntouched which I believe is the lightest shade which I am really happy about as I am pale skinned. I swatched it on my hand and it is really light, haven't gotten a chance to try it out on my face yet but I am definitely intrigued.



This is my third bag and my third Starlooks product, I'm guessing they must have a contract with that brand, Honestly it's not my favorite brand but this one is my favorite products of the three. It is the Gem Liner in Amethyst. At first I wasn't quite sure what this was for, if it was an eyeliner or a lipliner. I think this is definitely a little too craxy to be a lipliner but the texture is different that any other eyeliner I've ever tried. it is so smooth and creamy. I freaking LOVE this color though, its a gorgeous purple metallic silvery glittery shade. (nice explanation eh..lol)


The last item which is the only sample sized item I received is the HSI Argan Oil Leave in Treatment. I could have done without this but I have dry curly hair so it might do me some good, ya never know. I certainly will try it.
