I completed a much more detailed profile than was required in the past and really took my time putting in my preferences and personal details. My first Glam Bag arrived this week and I am totally thrilled with my selection. So much so, that I am fully committed and really looking forward to my future bags.
Without further ado, here is what I got in August and my thoughts so far.
Pixi by Petra Fresh Face Blush in Peach Parfait - I love, love, love this blush. It is the perfect color for me and it has just a tiny hint of shimmer to it. Enough shimmer that I can wear it alone without additional highlighter, but not so much that it looks inappropriate for my office job. I have been applying it with my EcoTools blush brush and it is just perfect. (I cannot find Peach Parfait on their website, so the link goes to the fresh face blush in a different color. Sorry.)
Ahava Dead Sea Water Mineral Body Lotion - This lotion smells amazing. It goes on very clean and not greasy, but I can definitely tell it is hydrating my skin. It does tingle a bit on freshly shaved skin, but it quickly goes away and I can feel the moisture benefits all day long.
Benefit Cosmetics Roller Lash Curling Mascara in Black - This is a no for me. I prefer a natural feathered look for my lashes and this gave me the very spidery-leg look. On top of that, I could literally feel my eyelashes sticking together throughout the day. I only applied this to my top lashes (I also don't wear liner on the bottom) and I had dark circles under my eyes by noon from it wearing off. When I used my makeup remover, I noticed there was no mascara left on my lashes to remove that day. So, nope for me.
Space Case Cosmetics Eyeshadow in Intense Stargasm - This is a beautiful color. I swatched it on my hand, and have played with it in the bathroom, but it is a little more shimmer than I prefer for the office. I am looking forward to my first evening event that I can wear it because it will be perfect.
Biorace Pore Purifying Spirulina & Tea Tree Clay Mask - I haven't used this one yet, but I will update this post once I do.
Papa Recipe Bombee Honey Moisture Cleansing Foam - Ipsy now lets you add additional products to your bag each month, and this was an add-on for me. This cleanser feels so, so amazing. It has a rich foam that I enjoy in a face wash, but it demonstrated what all the beauty experts mean when they say it feels like a cushion. It literally felt so cozy on my face. It washed clean and left such a soft feeling behind. This is a love for me, and probably my favorite item in the bag this month.
