Hey there Lovelies!
Today I am reviewing November's ipsy glam bag for you along with some swatches of the products.
I'm so excited about these products! One has literally become my new go-to product and I don't know how I ever got by without it!
You can catch my video review here
(P.S. you can see my tutorial of the glitter cut-crease eyeshadow I'm wearing here)

My Overall Star
Rating for November's Glam Bag: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭑ (4 out of 5)
Thoughts on November’s Glam Bag: I LOVE the products for
November! And the quality of the products is so high! Nearly perfect, and I
found the Holy Grail of concealers!
I adore the color block design for November. And the shades give such a great fall-feeling to the bag.
The bag is totally cute, but we know it's what's on the inside that counts!😁
So, onto the product!!
1. COMPLEX CULTURE: FULL TIME Eyeshadow: Dinner Party Duo in Chestnut & Rose Gold
Brand: Complex
Culture
Product: Eyeshadow Duo
Name of Shade: Chestnut
& Rose Gold
Color: Tawny Brown & Beige
Finish: Matte & Shimmer
Formula: Pressed Powder
Fallout: None
Chalky/Flakey : No/No
Blendable: Yes
Lasts for: 12+ Hours
Pros:
Velvety soft shadows that have
extreme staying power. These eyeshadows stand up against rain, wind and just
regular long wear. I really put these to the test and they lasted over 12 hours
without creasing, smudging or budging.
And the shades are the perfect
sophisticated pair for (Zoom) parties and other events where you want a touch
of class.
The matte shade works beautifully for a defined crease and the
shimmer shade is perfect for the lid to get an all over sparkle.✨
Cons:
None.
Star Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (5 out of 5)
Would I Purchase: Yes.
Final Thoughts:
Truly gorgeous eyeshadow shades that withstand the elements and are
perfectly chic.
2. EYEKO: Rock Out and Lash Out Mascara in Carbon Black
Brand: Eyeko
Product: Mascara
Size: Mini
Name of Shade:
Carbon Black
Color: Black
Waterproof:
Yes
Formula: Volumizing
Wand Shape:
Straight, Wider Rounded Tip
Smudges/Flakes:
No/No
Lasts for: 10+
Hours
Pros: The inky
black shade adds extra definition to lashes. rounded end of the wand
gives precision coverage to each little lash for a super full and volumized
lash line.
Cons: The formula is
so liquid-y, to borders on runny. It can make lashes stick together if you’re
not careful. It also can be a bit messy on the lower lashes.
Star Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭑ (4 out of 5)
Would I Purchase: Probably Not
Final Thoughts: A nice, very black mascara that really gives beautiful definition to lashes. The formula is too runny, but the tip of the wand is the saving grace of this mascara; it combs and separates lashes.
3. JUSBOX PERFUMES: Feather Supreme Eau de Parfum
Brand: JUSBOX
Product: Eau de Parfum
Name of Scent: Feather Supreme
Fragrance Notes: Floral + Earthy
Duration Before Fading: 6 Hours
Pros:
In my video review I said it wasn’t floral or fruity, but after wearing it
a few more times I am picking up on floral notes as well.
To me it has a
sophisticated scent (does that even make sense?)
If I were to go to a classy black-tie
gala, I would expect to smell this scent on the elegantly dressed individuals there
(why would I be there?)👗
Cons:
It’s kind of hard to list a con when it comes to something as subjective as
fragrances, other than if it fades too fast. The only other criteria is ‘Like it’
‘Don’t like it’ and everyone is attracted to different scents.
Star Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭑ (4 out of 5)
Would I Purchase: Probably not
4. MOTD COSMETICS: A Perfect 10 Tapered Face Brush
Brand: MOTD COSMETICS
Name of Brush: Tapered Face Brush
Feature for Brush: Face
Feature I Use it for: Blush, Setting Powder
Formula it Works Best with: Powder
Blends Makeup Well: Yes
Bristles Splay: No
Pros: This brush is massive! I love how much
coverage it gives while still have a tapered tip for precision application of
blush or other specified products. It is crazy soft and blends makeup so
beautifully.
Cons: None.
Star Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (5 out of 5)
Would I Purchase: Yes
Final Thoughts: Super soft brush that gives either full sweeping coverage or a precise pop product application.

Hours
Pros: I
am crazy in love with this concealer! 😍
I didn’t fully believe the hype before
and I honestly didn’t want to like it because I didn’t want to consider paying
more for concealer.
But this is the best concealer I’ve ever used! I am going
to give it its own separate review post but here are some quick facts:
It is creamy and a beautiful full coverage without looking cakey or fake.
It does not sink into
fine lines or creases.
It lasts through pretty much anything without moving or
looking worn.
It covers blemishes, dark circles, and other imperfections like an eraser.
It is the Holy Grail of concealers! And even though it’s a bit
pricier than my everyday concealer, a little goes such a long way I won’t run
out as fast as I do with my regular concealer.
Cons:
NONE!!!
Star Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (10 out of 5!)
Would I Purchase:
Yes, and I am!
Final thoughts:
I cannot say enough good things about this concealer! I am seriously impressed.
I was so hard on this concealer and put it through rigorous tests to see if it
is really worth the price. It is.💖
