This month's aka Feb '18 is a springtime winner. I've been using it everyday since...and its end of summer. Late post! But I love the vintage vibe I get. Tottally worth the $10 for the month.

Ipsy Glambag December 2017

The December 2017 Glambag is a beautiful ice blue bag/clutch with a glitter border by the zipper. It screams NYE and holiday, and I just adores it! My Ipsy got lost in transit, so another was sent. A couple weeks after the replacement was received the the original showed up...SCORE. 2 bags baby!

Ipsy Glambag May 2017

 

I was really impressed this month with the foundation as one of the items. Does the bag remind anyone else of those backpacks from the early 90's? 

GLOBAL BEAUTY CARE's Charcoal Wash Off Mask - received this in multiple bags. RETIRE IT!

MANNA KADAR COSMETICS' Radiance Split Pan Bronzer and Highlighter Duo - this is the 2nd time I've received it. too pink for a highlighter, and dark for a bronzer...not a fan.

Estée Lauder's Double Wear Makeup To Go Liquid Compact - sheer foundation with 8 hour wear.  This is full sized! SCORE! 

TRÈSTIQUE's Mini Matte Lip Crayon in Tuscan Wine - in another bag I received a bright red and I LOOOOVED it. I'm equally as happy with this. I wonder if the rest of the brand is fantastic too. 

LUXIE BEAUTY's Luxie Dreamcatcher Precision Foundation Brush 660 - foundation brush that is made for liquid, cream, or powder foundations, concealers, highlighters AND bronzers.

Fash Makeup Brushes

 

Every time I went into Sephora in the last year I've been fascinated with the tips colored of brushes. I always think, "I neeeed these." I don't but I surely wanted them. Purple was always a the top of my list. Of course they are pretty expensive. Sad panda. When amazon listed these red tip brushes I jumped on them. I've never heard of the brand, but I thought I'd check them out.

13 brushes come with a holder/case with the label Fash on the front. The label turned out to be a sticker. Really? How cheap is that! They ran about 18 with shipping, which was a good deal. The brushes them are "meh." Not really impressed, but its good to have back brushes. The bigger ones are soft and decent, but most the smaller ones are really only good for eyeliner. They are really flat and hard to use to blend at all. 

Retail price: $15
