What's In My Glam Bag?! | June 2014

Marc Anthony | Dream Waves Beach Spray $3.18

NYX | Butter Gloss (Crême Brûlée) $5

Realtree | for Her $1.18

Be a Bombshell | Lash Out $15

OFRA | Universal Eyebrow Pencil $13

TOTAL $37.36

I'd have to say my favorite part of this month's glam bag is definitely the bag itself! It's designed by Rebecca Minkoff, so of course it's adorable. Love the pineapple print! As for the contents inside, I'm pretty satisfied with what I got. The perfume sample got a little messed up, but it smells SO good. It has a really sweet scent, so not something I'd wear daily, but definitely good for summer. Haven't actually tried a NYX Butter Gloss before, but I've heard a lot of good things about it! I'm always excited for beach spray, it'll be the perfect addition to my beach bag. And what girl doesn't need more mascara and eyebrow pencils? What's in your glam bag?

With Love,

Patti

What's In My Glam Bag?! | May 2014

Eva NYC | Therapy Session Hair Mask $12

Pacifica | Mineral Eye Shadow Duo 1 ~$6

Boo-Boo Cover Up | Concealer $20

Jersey Shore Sun | Sans Tan Anti-Aging Sunscreen $10

La Fresh | Travel Lite Face Cleansing Wipes $2.50

It's time for my monthly Glam Bag goodies! Soo, I was pretty excited when I got my package in the mail and felt how heavy it was. But I'm not gonna lie, when I opened it I was a little disappointed at what I found inside. I'm pretty picky when it comes to skin care since I have pretty sensitive skin and that seemed to be the theme this month. The sample sizes were still pretty hefty so I can't really complain, but I don't think I'll be using the sunscreen or the facial wipes. BUT I am pretty excited about the hair mask, it smells AMAZING. I wish I could share it with you guys, and I can't wait to put it in my hair! The shadow duo is nice, but they keep sending me the same colors.. I've barely even touched what they sent me before. Overall, I'd give this month's bag a C+. I get that summer's coming and it's all about the skin care, but I'm hoping for something a little more exciting next month! 

Despite the let down, I still love my Glam Bags! They are SO worth it, 50 bucks worth of samples for only $10 a month! That's like two and half trips to Starbucks.. definitely justified!

What's In My Glam Bag?! | April 2014

Hello beautiful ladies!

It's one of my favorite times of the month again! My super cute April Ipsy Glam Bag has arrived and I am SO happy with all the goodies I found inside. I have to say that sometimes the glam bags can be a hit or miss, but I think Ipsy usually does a great job of staying consistent with quality products. (Thanks to Michele Phan)

Urban Decay | 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencil in Black Velvet

St. Tropez | Gradual Tan Multi-Action Face

Elizabeth Mott | Pop! Goes the Shadow in Champagne

Cailyn | Tinted Lip Balm in 12. Apple Pink

Dr. Brandt | Microdermabrasion Skin Exfoliant

I was so excited when I saw the Urban Decay eyeliner because I have been wanting to try it so bad and haven't found the time to buy it. I absolutely love it and it really does stay on all day without smudging. The same goes for St. Tropez gradual tan face lotion! I heard St. Tropez products are all really good but on the pricier side. I haven't seen too much of a change in face color, but then again I've only used it twice. I'll be sure to let you know if it does work. The shadow is a perfect shimmery neutral, but I do wish I had gotten a more fun color for the spring since I have so many similar colors. As for the lip balm, the skinny top part is a brush! It's not super pigmented but I love that it gives a hint of color to a bare lip. My glam bags have only gotten better with time and I can't wait for next months!

What's In My Glam Bag?!

Hello my loves!

I'm sure most of you know about monthly subscription services, if not already subscribed to them. I'm talking about sites like Shoemint, Jewelmint, Birch Box, and Ipsy to name a few. For those of you who don't know what I'm talking about, these are fashion and beauty websites that you pay a monthly fee to and receive monthly packages. I've been subscribed to Ipsy for a couple months now and each month (for $10) I get a cute little travel pouch stuffed with about 4-5 beauty samples. It's perfect for people like me who really want to try different beauty products but can't afford buying like 5 different moisturizers to find the perfect one. The great thing is that the samples aren't those lame foil packets, but decent travel-sized products and even a couple full sized products! Each bag is usually worth like $40-$50, so it's totally worth it. It gives me great exposure to new brands I wouldn't have known about and lets me buy products that I know are worth the investment. That's enough background info, keep reading to see what I got in my March Glam Bag! 

** Even though I wish this was sponspored, it's not. Just wanted to share a good thing with you lovely ladies! 

Bare Minerals | Marvelous Moxie

NYX | Love in Rio

Pixi | Flawless Beauty Primer 

Chella | Liquid Liner in Blue

I'm so excited to test these products out! Especially the lipstick! Let me know if you guys want reviews of the products! Be sure to check back monthly for more What's In My Glam Bag?!
