October seemed to fly by for me!
But my October ipsy bag is not one to be forgotten.
October 2018 Glam Bag
October's theme was ipsy after dark.
"Who said nights were for sleeping?"
I'm kind of a nerd, so I say nights are for reading, but I guess it's kind of the same philosophy 😆
October's products came in this lovely red bag, embossed with a masquerade mask with flowers.
You can watch my quick video review here:
Now for the good stuff!
A review of the products I received in my October Glam Bag:
1. GLAMOUR DOLLS: Mascara
A full-sized, carbon black mascara from Glamour Dolls.
Pros: -Thickening & volumizing. It made it look like I had a million lashes
-True black color & buildable. The perfect black and it can give as much length as you want (a little or a lot)
Cons: -NOT waterproof. It doesn't claim to be waterproof, so that's okay, but if you plan to watch The Notebook, or just have a good cry, this is not the mascara you want to use.
My Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐✩ (4 out of 5 stars)
Overall: This a fine mascara that gives excellent volume and lengthens. Only real drawback is it is not waterproof, which it does not claim to be.
2. NAKED COSMETICS: Loose Pigment in Rain Forest RF-05
This is a super fine, loose pigment. It blends on lids so smooth and lasts all day.
This is the third loose pigment I have received from Naked Cosmetics (likely because I keep giving it rave reviews in my ipsy profile).
The three that I have are totally different shades, and I'm more than pleased to add this olive green to my collection.
Pros: -Buildable and good color payoff. The shade can go on sheerer for a more subtle color or can be built up in intensity to the shade that appears in the container.
-Shimmer finish. The finish stays shimmery and sparkly for many hours.
Cons: -Fallout. As with most loose eyeshadows, there is some fallout under the eye. Nothing major though. For me it's not a deal breaker, as it can be cleaned up easily with concealer.
My Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐✩ (4 out of 5)
Overall: A very nice loose eyeshadow with subtle shimmery elements that reflect in the light. The color is more neutral and earthy. Minimal fallout that is easy to clean up.
3. BEAU GÂCHIS: Eyebrow Brush
A sleek, angled eyebrow brush with soft, but firm bristles.
Not only does it work perfect for filling brows, it can also be used for eyeliner, or lipstick.
Pros: -Precise lines. I mainly use angled brushes for lining my top and bottom lash lines and this brush gives perfect lines, even for cat-eye looks.
Cons: -None.
My Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (5 out of 5 stars)
Overall: A terrific brush with multiple uses, very versatile.
4. M·A·C: Little Lipglass in Love Child
I literally screamed with joy when I saw a MAC product in my bag!
This mini-sized, plumby shade of their famous lipglass filled me with glee.
Pros: -Shiny and comfortable. Not overly sticky like other glosses and it has an unbelievable shine.
-Versatile. This gloss looks great on its own or over a matte lip shade.
Cons: -Like many glosses it don't last as long as a lipstick.
My Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (5 out of 5 stars)
Overall: Wonderful shade, great formula, and a light vanilla scent make this an all-star in my book.
5. ORIBE HAIR CARE: Dry Texturizing Spray
As you may know from some of my previous posts, I'm not a big fan of haircare products in my subscription bags because I rarely use them.
However, I am really feeling this texturizing spray from Oribe.
It is similar to a dry shampoo but 10X better!
Pros: -Doesn't just soak up oil. It adds volume and texture, it made my hair look like I just had a blow out.
-No residue. You know how with some dry shampoos you have white, powdery residue to fight with? Not with this little guy, it gave a perfect finish.
Cons: -None.
My Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (5 out of 5 stars)
Overall: Gives a perfectly finished, freshly blown dry texture with no white residue.
Here is one look I created with some of my October ipsy products:
