It's time for another Ipsy bag review! This month's bag is a "Street Style" theme with different samples to help you prepare for Fall! If you don't know what Ipsy is, it's a website where for a monthly subscription of $10 you receive 5 deluxe samples of all the latest and hottest products tied into a specific theme for each month. It's a really good deal, especially when you get full-size products that are worth more than the bag itself! I have been a subscriber since September 2013 and must say, this is a great subscription for all you beauty lovers out there!

September Glam Bag
Bag: I'm digging this bag. The gunmetal color is so in for Fall, and I'm a real sucker for studs! It's very punk glam and chic. Perfect for traveling!
Nourish Organic Moisturizing Cream Face Cleanser: This product is okay. It doesn't really smell like anything, kind of just like clay. I've been using it in the morning to wash my face after I wake up, and it hasn't done anything special. It's definitely not the best face cleanser I've used, but it's also not the worst.
Crown Infinity Shadow/Crease Brush: I was so excited when I realized this was a duet brush! The top of the brush is for applying shadow, and the bottom brush is slimmer and perfect for when you don't want to over-color some areas. I'm a firm believer that you can never have too many makeup brushes, and I'm happy to add this to my collection!
Cailyn Art Touch Tinted Lip Gloss: I hate this gloss. It's a sin because the color is so pretty (it's a dark wine red), but the gloss itself applies thin and blotchy. If the product was slightly thicker I think I would love it because it's the perfect color for Fall, Such a shame it's a crappy product!
Pacifica Natural Water-proof Eye Pencil: I'm not a fan of waterproof eye products. It may just be me, but I can never get the damn product off my eyes without irritation! I much prefer products that will wipe off with ease when I'm done for the day. That being said, I do enjoy the color of this eye pencil. The silver is a great color to combine with purple eye shadow and I'm looking forward to playing around with it, though it may not be all that often.
Mitchell and Peach Luxury Hand Cream: This smells like the fragrance section of home good stores. You know what I'm talking about? That one aisle that has so many bars of soap and candles and lotions that it smells like a flower garden threw up in it? Yeah, so each time I use this lotion I get a headache. It's way too strong for everyday use, but maybe that's why it's "luxury." I don't know, I'm just going to stick to my pumpkin lotions this Fall (can you say Bath and Bodyworks sales?!).
Glam Bag Rating:
6/10 Why am I continuously disappointed with my bags? The only products I'm really going to use here are the brush and the eye pencil. What has happened to Ipsy? I used to get so excited whenever I got that pink packaging in the mail, and now I dread it. I just wish I was receiving products that I could not only use, but like to use!
Now, I have some sad news. I unsubscribed from my monthly Ipsy glam bag. I was just getting so disappointed and felt like what I was receiving was not worth $10. Now, that is not to say that I won't subscribe again in the future! In fact, expect an upcoming review of a great steal I bought through Ipsy! I'm just going to sit back and take a break (but watch next month they'll give away Chanel or something). I'm considering subscribing to other monthly boxes, so please leave a comment below if you have any favorites!
Until next time my loves x.
