I’m a bit meh about this month’s bag nothing really stands out as that special to me. It doesn’t really scream holiday to me.

Smashbox Be Legendary Lipstick in Legendary

Full Size: 0.1 oz

Full Size Cost: $21

Sample Size: 0.08 oz

Value: $16.80

This is a great little mini lipstick. I just really don’t like the be legendary formula they are just way to creamy for my tastes and just not my thing. I find them really hard to apply and wear because of how creamy they are I feel like I really have fuss with them too much.  Swatched Below.

Trèstique Mini Brow Pencil in Espresso

Full Size: 0.13 g

Full Size Cost: $10

Sample Size: 0.13 g

Value: $10

This is the full mini size that they make the full size comes with a spoolie so it doesn’t seem fair to compare those when this does exist for sale. I wanted to like this it was the right color and size but its a now go. Just swatching it was impossible it was so hard and sharp it left a welt on my skin just from how hard I had to press to swatch it. Swatched (Painfully) Below.

Son & Park Beauty Water

Full Size: 11.49 oz

Full Size Cost: $30

Sample Size: 1.01 oz

Value: $2.64

This is like a micellar water that  can be used for prep or makeup removal which sounds like exact opposite uses to me but it is little enough that I can use it up quickly.

Nyx Faux Blacks Eyeliner in Blackberry

Full Size: 1.3 g

Full Size Cost: $7.99

Sample Size: 1.3 g

Value: $7.99

This is my favorite thing in the bag I love these gel like pencil eyeliners and I always love a fun color and this blackened purple is very me. I love Nyx eyeliners. Swatched Below.

Lipstick, Eyebrow Pencil, Eyeliner.

Pūrlisse Green Tea + Ginger Sheet Mask

Full Size: 1 mask

Full Size Cost: $8

Sample Size: 1 mask

Value: $8

Pūrlisse Coconut + Rice Sheet Mask

Full Size: 1 mask

Full Size Cost: $8

Sample Size: 1 mask

Value: $8

The pictures of these got corrupted so I am sorry but they are sheet masks they aren’t that special to look at. I have tried Pūrlisse sheet masks before but they are ok they have tons of essence and are soothing but I find them very cold they feel extra cold on my skin and I don’t like that. I would never spend $8 on one sheet mask but people must be.

Well my favorite thing in the box was the drugstore eyeliner. Idk this box was a little bit of a mishmash of things that almost were right but just didn’t quite work for me.

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.
