Ipsy GlamBag October 2013

Here is a post of the contents of my Ipsy GlamBag!  For anyone who doesn't know what Ipsy is, it is a beauty subscription service. For $10 a month you get 4-5 deluxe sized samples or full sized products, all in a cute makeup bag! They can range from makeup to hair care to skin care. If you'd like to sign up, this is my Referral Link.
Here is a picture of my bag with a review to follow:
  This month's theme is "The Art Of Beauty". There were tons of variations of bags this month. Here are the products I received and my initial reviews:
  • Coastal Scents Medium Shadow Brush: I am loving this brush. I used it with the loose shadow I received and it picked up the shadow so well! I loved the softness of the bristles as well and the length of the brush was good.
  • Starlooks Lip Liner in "Tipsy": I used to be a subscriber to Starlook's monthly subscription service "Starbox" and received this same liner. The quality is nice. The color is a nice coraly pink shade that I wore a ton last spring. I wish I would have received the other color being sent out. That being said, I will totally use it when I use up the other one.
  • Bella Terra Mineral Shadow in "Navy": This is a lovely shade. You can see it swatched on my hand in the pic above. It is a navy base with a lot of purple shimmer. It can be applied lighter, so I think it is pretty versatile.
  • Sexy Hair Spray Clay: The instructions on the bottle are pretty vague, so I'm not exactly sure the best way to use it. Today I just sprayed a bit on my damp hair to see if I noticed any difference and I didn't. I am going to research this a bit more and try it again.
  • Zoya Nail Polish in "Giovanna": This is my very first Zoya polish, so I was VERY excited to get it! The color is a gorgeous almost metallic green. The consistency was good and it applied well.
Overall I loved this bag! Last month I got the least desirable bag, so I was happy that I got a higher value bag filled with items I will use. I believe the retail value of all the items I received was $40.49, so I definitely got a good deal.
Are any of you subscribers? If so what did you think of this month's bag? What items did you get?

*The quote on the bag is: 'Love of beauty is taste. The creation of beauty is art.' It is from Ralph Waldo Emerson.
