Well here is another very very late review. But here it is all the same. There is going to be a day by day opening of an advent calendar on my Instagram soon so stay tuned for that.

SL Miss Glam B36 Tapered Highlight Brush

Full Size: Set of 5

Full Size Cost: $69.99

Sample Size: 1 brush

Value: $14

So you can’t buy these brushes individually so I found a tapered highlight in on of the sets and based it off that. It seems like a really nice quality brush but I am not a huge fan of the rhinestones on the ferrel.

Skyn Iceland Berry Lip Fix

Full Size: 12 ml

Full Size Cost: $14

Sample Size: 5 ml

Value: $5.83

I have been on a real fancy lip balm kick so this is really cool. It is a nice berry scent but I’m eh about the texture it is almost like smoothly gritty. I know that doesn’t make any sense but that is the best way I can describe it.

Lime Crime Diamond Crusher in Lit

Full Size: ?

Full Size Cost: $8

Sample Size: ?

Value: $8

There is no size listed but this mini is for sale so I am going with that price. This is the  most sparkely omg thing ever. I just wanted to paint myself in it. It is supposed to be a lip topped but is definitely opaque enough to wear on its own. Swatched Below.

Tini Beauty Barfly Highlighter in Candlelit

Full Size: 0.12 oz

Full Size Cost: $12

Sample Size: 0.12 oz

Value: $12

This is a really pretty cream highlighter it is very buildable but such a pretty soft but in your face cream. Is shows up as more of a pinky pearl then a real candlelit color though. Swatched Below.

Colourpop Pressed Shadow in Paper Tiger

Full Size: 1.5 g

Full Size Cost: $4

Sample Size: 1.5 g

Value: $4

I was really hoping for the other shade that was sent out this mustardy yellow color is just not my thing. The formula is very smooth and pigmented so I would definitely see myself trying more in the future. Swatched Below.

Lip topper, highlight, eyeshadow

Ipsy always pulls out a cute bag for Halloween I look forward to it. Last years was adorable and this years is like perfect classy gothic horror I’m all about it.

Red bag with a lace pattern printed on it.

And this fucking back I can’t he perfectly matches the bat tattoo i have on my wrist so I am extra in love with him.

So let’s see what Ipsy sent me this month.

Marc Anthony Hydrating Coconut Oil & Shea Butter

Full Size: 50 ml

Full Size Cost: $7.99

Sample Size: 20.7 ml

Value: $3.31

I do not like how this smells because I really really dislike the scent of shea butter and yes I know that is a really weird thing to dislike. But I really love hair oils they work so well for my hair to get rid of frizz and make my hair smooth and shiny. I also really love this brand so I will give it a shot.

Blaq Mask

Full Size: 60 ml

Full Size Cost: $29

Sample Size: 15 ml

Value: $7.25

This is everything I want in a mask. Its charcoal its peel off its supposed to get rid of blackheads and I really love the black packaging. I can’t believe how pricey it is.

Tarte Lights Camera Lashes Mascara

Full Size: 7 ml

Full Size Cost: $23

Sample Size: 3 ml

Value: $9.86

So I own the full size of this so I have alot to say:

1.  How is this almost half the full size packaging is giant I mean it is this biggest tube of mascara I own.
2. This is not the same have they reformulated?
3. The brush doesn’t look the same and the consistency of this sample is thinner.

I’m confused. I do like tiny little mascaras though they are great for travel.

Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencil in Perversion

Full Size:  1.2 g

Full Size Cost: $20

Sample Size: 0.8 g

Value: $13.33

I really love the glide on liners from UD I have a bunch. Unfortunately perversion is the one I like the least (I’m actually almost done with my last one thank god). This on me fades in about to seconds it smudges it transfers it goes gray the smudges are impossible to get off it just turns my eyes into a messy raccoon the other colors don’t do that to me this color just does not agree with me for some reason. Swatched Below.

MDMflow Liquid Matte Lipstick in Retro

Full Size: 6 ml

Full Size Cost: $23.37

Sample Size: 6 ml

Value: $23.37

When I saw this online I was like ugh I do not like that color but on it is a nice light pinky berry that I can live with. I also really love this packaging it is rounded and really like chunky feeling in your hand but in a good way. I keep reading MDM as something else ;P I’m pretty sure that was their intention but it keeps making me laugh. I’m way more into this then I thought I would be. Not that I needed ANOTHER liquid lipstick. Swatched Below.

Good value this month from Ipsy and really decent sizes. Overall no complaints whatsoever with this month’s Ipsy and me having no complaints is a seriously rare thing. I’m picky.

Well damn Ipsy look at you coming all early for a change. I love when my boxes come early (Side Eye at some other boxes that have been coming late).

For some bizarre reason my computer isn’t letting me edit my pictures from this bag and I’m too busy and tired to fuss with it so sorry.

Had to throw in the adorable new coffee mug I got it came the same day and I am in love its huge and cute and I do like my coffee black like my soul 🙂

I also got 6 products again this month which instantly makes me more excited for my bag.

When I saw previews of this I thought I was going to love it but it actually feels really cheap ad plasticky to me an I do not like it.

Manefit Beauty Planner Sheet Mask in Mugwort Astringent + Pore Care

Full Size: 5 masks

Full Size Cost: $10

Sample Size: 1 mask

Value: $2

This is a sheet mask right up my alley with astringent and pore refining. I am sorta off the sheet mask trend they tend to make me feel cold and I hate feeling cold. But I will try this.

Manefit Beauty Planner Sheet Mask in Lily Whitening + Brightening

Full Size: 5 masks

Full Size Cost: $10

Sample Size: 1 mask

Value: $2

The back of this says it will leave your skin translucent, is that a thing people want? I have never desired to be see through I’m sure it is just a case of bad translation but I got a good laugh out of it. I don’t ever really use whitening sheet masks I just don’t have an attraction to them.

Luxie Brush 207 Medium Angled Shading

Full Size: Yes

Value: $12

I love Luxie brushes and Ipsy does send them out fairly often which is great because they retail for a minimum of the cost of the bag so any month I get one makes the month automatically worth it. This is a fairly large fluffy angled brush but for me it will be perfect for a dramatic crease or for smoking out the outer v. This would also probably be great for nose contour.

Elizabeth Mott Pop! Goes the Shadow in Gunmetal

Full Size: 2 g

Full Size Cost: $12

Sample Size: 0.7 g

Value: $4.20

The packaging of this sample is much cuter then the full size. This is a nice gunmetal color but I do have plenty in my collection this isn’t even worth depotting for me. This is a miss for me. Swatched Below.

Colourpop Lippie Stix Matte X in Glam Bag

Full Size: 1 g

Full Size Cost: $5

Sample Size: 1 g

Value: $5

This is a bright magenta. I don’t wear colors like this but the formula is so creamy and matte that I am tempted to try to wear it. I thought this was going to be an exclusive shade but it is for sale on Colourpop’s website. Swatched Below.

Beauty for Real I-Line in Jade

Full Size: 0.28 g

Full Size Cost: $14

Sample Size: 0.28 g

Value: $14

I love this brand of eyeliner I received a black on awhile ago in an Ipsy bag and loved it to death and now I have this great Jade green. It is so pretty. the I-Line eyeliners are very pigmented and creamy so they apply to my waterline effortlessly and they have really good staying power and nothing stays in my waterline. Only weird part is that these are full size but then say not for retail sale on them just slightly odd. Swatched Below.

Eyeshadow, eyeliner, lippie stix. All nice quality the eye shadow and the lippie stick are just not colors I am into.

---

Very low value for Ipsy this seems to be becoming a trend. Despite that it is almost four times what you pay for the bag and I got 5 full size items out of 6. The brush and eyeliner are my favorite things in the bag and the lippie stix and eyeshadows are my least favorite.
