Ipsy October 2013

 It's here! My October 2013 Ipsy Glambag arrived today.

I really love the pink packaging. It's fun to see it in my mailbox.

The theme this month is The Art of Beauty.

The bag is white with a pink lining and zipper. The quote on the front is by Ralph Waldo-Emerson and states, "Love of beauty is taste, The creation of beauty is art."

Here are all five products from my bag this month.

 The first is from Sexy Hair and the product is called Spray Clay. This product says it adds texture to a matte look. I am interested to see how this works and what matte hair looks like.

Deluxe sample

Retail: $6

Next up is the Coastal Scents medium eyeshadow brush. I am excited about this because I could always use another shadow brush.

Retail: $2.49

Bella Terra mineral powder in Navy. I don't like blue eyeshadow, as I've stated, but I'm going to give this a try as a liner. 

Deluxe sample

Retail: $12

I just used this and it is the most beautiful nail polish I've ever seen! It's a Zoya polish called Giovanna and it's an emerald green with blue undertones.

Full size

Retail: $8

Lastly is the Starlooks lip pencil in Tickle Me Pink. This swatched beautifully and I am happy to own my first lip liner!

Full size

Retail: $12

Bag value: $40.49

Not a bad value for $10. This isn't my favorite Ipsy bag, but I definitely enjoyed it and I think the products will all go to use.

Ipsy October Glam Room Update

My October Glam Room updated! 

Zoya Nail Polish: I am completely open to any of the shades. They're all pretty, and I love jewel tones.

Bella Terra Mineral Powder: The color shown is Emotion, but they are also sending out Navy. If I get Navy, I will be one unhappy subscriber. I have dark circles under my eyes that do not go well with blue eyeshadow. Emotion looks beautiful, though.

Coastal Scents Medium Shadow Brush: I am decently happy about this. I don't particularly need it, but it will be used.

Sexy Hair Spray Clay Texturizing Spray: I am so happy I didn't get the blow dry gel because I never dry my hair. This should be interesting to try.

Starlooks Lip Pencil: I don't own any lip pencils, so I am happy about this. I'm hoping for the pink color and not the coral color.

The biggest disappointment is the bag. It says, "Love of beauty is taste. The creation of beauty is art." I do not like this quote at all... it's rather cheesy and pointless, honestly. And it was designed very poorly. Truly a hideous bag.

Overall, I am okay with my bag. I received great bags in August and September, so I guess I have to assume that some months won't be as good. I will use most of these items, so that means it's a success. The only thing I care about is not getting the blue shadow.
