Ipsy Glambag November 2018

November's Glambag is uber cute. A rich, deep electric blue with pattern black hearts. Definitely my kind of style! This month has some winners and losers....

Juice Beauty's Illuminating Primer - this is a versatile product. Not only with its glow you can wear alone, or how it was created - as a face primer. Retails for $36

ORIBE HAIR CARE's Dry Texturizing Spray -  when I opened this Glambag and saw Oribe's Texture Spray, I was stoked. But it was a disaster! It's not a dry shampoo, although it is similar. When I spray on my roots and dried to brush my hair out, all these white flaking specs showed up on my head. It looked as if I had lice all over. FAIL, TO THE EXTREME. Retails for $30

THEBALM COSMETICS' Nude Beach Eyeshadow in Brave - soft eyeshadow that can be used wet or dry. I dislike the color, due to so many eyeshadows coming in that dull shade. Retails for $8

PIXI BY PETRA's LipLift Max in Honey Sheen - claim to plump your lips - it DOES NOT. But this gloss is a pretty peach sheen with shimmers. Retails for $14

MAC's Strobe Light in Pinklite - Originally this item didn't come in my bag and when my roommate offered to trade...I jumped on that quickly. This creams helps brighten your skin with a luminating, iridescent glow. GORG. Retails for $34

M.A.C.'s Little Lipglass in Love Child - MAC is one of my favorite brands since the beginning of time. While I prefer matte colors, shimmering Lipglass is not a product I don't like. Retails for $10


PIXI BY PETRA's Mesmerizing Mineral Duo in Plum Lace - the lighter shade makes a great highlighter dupe. Retails for $12

INC.REDIBLE's You Glow Girl Iridescent Jelly Highlighter in Cosmic Blur - this product is something I've never had in my possession and it's stunning. It's a iridescent jelly highlighter that can be packed on. Retails for $15
