Ipsy's November Glam Bag

 

This months Ipsy bag theme was glam it up! It also featured six items, which I was so excited about!

 

The bag itself this month is so cute, a pink zipper detail with a gold snake print. I am going to list below everything I got in my bag as well as the links to the items!

 

 

1. Nailtini Nail Polish in Champagne - I have this color on my nails at the moment and I am obsessed! The formula is great because you can use it alone or on top of other colors, and its not gooey or thick when you apply!

 

2. Lash Gallery Mascara em, by Michelle Phan - I received this mascara in brown which I normally wear black mascara but I still wanted to try the product to see if the formula was good! When I tried this out I felt like it didn't do anything different for my lashes or make them stand out like other mascara products that I have tried. I thought it did a great job at separating my lashes though!

 

3. Be a Bombshell Lip Crayon - "Hot Damn" is the color I received, I have pretty pale skin so I haven't tried this product out yet because it honestly looks so dark for my skin tone. It retails for $14.00

 

4. Pixi Bronzer - I really love bronzer and love trying out new ones, a pale girl needs her bronzer! I love this because it's not too drastic on my face and it gives it the best sun kissed color!

 

5. Starlooks Gem Eye Pencil - "Topaz" - This eye pencil is great for the holidays, especially Christmas and New Years Eve, I feel like it will draw attention to your eyes and make them sparkly and pop!

 

6. Galaxy Chic Baked Eyeshadow - " Asteroid" I absolutely love this color, I thought at first it looked a bit scary with the blue and brown but when they are swirled together they produce a really pretty color. I personally love BH Cosmetics because they are pretty inexpensive but they don't dull down on the pigmentation of their products.

 

I know I said this last month....but this tops all of my previous bags for me. With the extra item I am literally going to use 5 out of 6 of the products on a regular basis so for $10.00 a month that is great!

I really loved pumpkin spice but I am over it now. I literally don't want anything that flavor now.

Haul! Bath and Body Works & Cotton On!

Hi everyone!

 

Today I have a haul post because I went to the mall today and they had some really great deals!

 

 

 

So first I have to start with Bath and Body Works! To begin with they were having 2 for 22 on their big three wick candles, and they had a ton of new scents and designs. So I picked up winter candy apple, and cranberry pear bellini which both smell amazing!

Then I had a coupon for a free item - up to 13 dollar value, so I got the sparkling icicles mason jar candle for free!

I then got a mini candle  in black tie that was $4.50, a hand soap in candy cane bliss, and a sent portable for my car in sparkling icicles.

In my email this morning I also got a coupon for 10 dollars off any purchase of 30 or more. So I did that of course, making my total before coupons around 68.00 dollars and I only paid 26.00! I was pretty excited and today is the last day for 2 for 22, so definitely check that out!

 

 

 

Now onto Cotton On, I really needed some beige flats for work and I always am looking for more scarves. Right when I walked in I saw these cute flats that were 50 % off, normally 20.00 and now on sale for 10.00! Then at the register they had scarves for 5.00 with any purchase so I picked one of those up as well!

 

I feel like I had a really successful day of shopping!

 

I hope you all enjoyed this haul!
