Its about that time for another Glam Bag review. I am a little late on this one due to Thanksgiving, which I hope everyone had a great one! But its now December and the new bag is going to come out soon so I figured its time to review the November one.
So heres a little peek at what I got:
So everything came in this cute glitter bag which you all should know glitter is my favorite color ;) really though.
I got the Tarte Maracula Oil, Be a Bombshell Eye Base in Submissive, Jcat Wonder Lip Paint in Red Potion, SeaRx Micro-Dermabraision Face & Body Scrub and the Pixie dust roll on perfume oil.
Right away, I can already tell you my two favorite products from this bag is the eye base and the Tarte oil, simply because those are the two that I find myself using daily.
The lip paint I liked but I have only used once because its a product that I really have to take my time using because I find it sooo messy. The color looks beautiful though. The Pixie dust perfume was alright too, I wear it probably once a week but the scent doesn't really last that long.
My only wish is that Ipsy would stop sending me two facial products because I don't even use the Micro-Dermabraision Scrub but I do have to note it smells sooo good, kinda like citrus.
So overall, more pros than cons in this bag but I cant wait till I get my December bag!
till next time...

As much as we always want to buy that $40 foundation we see at Sephora we cant always bring ourselves to spend that much when we know there is a foundation at Target that will work just as good (maybe even better) Especially for us college students, beauty on a budget can be a struggle sometimes, but glorious when we find a product that can match that expensive one we have been eye balling forever.
So here are my favorite affordable drugstore products that I just cant get enough of!
When I did my everyday makeup blog I was using the Sephora brand foundation but since I finished that I switched to the CoverGirl Outlast Stay Fabulous foundation. Its super lightweight but build-able. However, it might say shine free, but I still find myself being oily after a while of wearing it. But then again, that's with any foundation that I wear. I got mine from Target but CoverGirl products can be found anywhere.
My next product is also by CoverGirl. Its their Clean concealer and this is probably the best concealer that I have ever had, including high end ones. I like that it comes in a tube and has an applicator like a lip gloss which makes everything a lot easier for me. Totally recommend this one!
So enough with CoverGirl, and on with Revlon. Right now I am using the Lash Potion mascara and the formula is great and makes my eyelashes look better than any other drugstore mascara I have used. Im pretty sure I only paid $5 for it, so you cant go wrong with that!
Last, to clean all of that off my face at the end of the day, I use the Ponds makeup remover wipes and these not only smell good but they seriously get ALL of my makeup off. Eyeliner, mascara, EVERYTHING. I cannot live without these bad boys. Go get you some!
Let me know what drugstore products you all are loving at the moment!

I finally jumped on the Glam Bag bandwagon and just got my first bag in the mail last week. I guess it wasn't much a surprise when I received it because I already knew what was going to be in my bag cause I took a little sneak peek on the Ipsy website.
Anyways, for those of you that don't know Ipsy is a subscription service that brings you a bag full of beauty goodies once a month.
Sometimes you get full size products or just samples but its all still worth it cause most of the time it always equals to more than what you pay a month and who doesn't like getting new products every month?!
So, here's a little preview as to what I got in my October bag:
- Albertini Warm Love Pumpkin exfoliating mask
- Figs & Rouge hand cream
- Indie Lee Brightening cleanser
- Skone Cosmetics Tattooed eyeliner
- Starlooks lip-gloss
For my first bag I have to say I wish I didn't get two facial products but the Pumpkin mask smells delish, only because the smell of pumpkin is one of my favorites.
The lip-gloss is a really good nude color too, I think good for all skin tones.
Hand cream is super light, smells sooo good, and doesn't leave my hands feeling greasy.
The eyeliner is a little rough but I am able to work with it.
And I can honestly do without the Brightening cleaner.
Other than that I have to say I am super excited to receive future bags and review them on my blog so stay tuned for more of these!
I recommend Ipsy to all my makeup and beauty lovers out there, its like a present to yourself every month guys!
