Ipsy Glam Bag Review

**This post contains affiliate links**

I decided after Christmas I had a little bit of extra money, so hubby and I looked at the budget and determined we could afford the $10 a month for an ipsy subscription. You can join me on ipsy and subscribe to the Glam Bag. You get 4-5 beauty products every month delivered to your door, for just $10. Check it out here. Seems like a pretty good deal to me! The products I got this month were more then worth it!

Shimmer Powder by BellaPierre ($9 on amazon) - I love, love love this one it is a loose powder one and goes on very well. It has a thing in it that keeps you from getting too much at once which is WONDERFUL! I love the shimmer it has in it and it's not too heavy so it lasts really well. I used the All-over shadow brush by Elizabeth Mott to apply it which worked really well. I love both products and would highly recommend them!

The next thing I got in my glam bag was Into the Blue Nail Lacquer by Probelle ($6 on Amazon). As most of you know, I'm a jamberry junkie and don't usually use polish, so I tried it on one of my daughters! It went on and the color was almost translucent. It wasn't the vivid blue I was expecting. Not sure that I would be pleased if this was the color I picked in the store. I imagine if you did more then one coat it would be closer, but still not like I expected. If I don't judge the color, the polish is pretty good. It has a good consistency and goes on quite smoothly. Not as good as my jamberries, but it's a pretty good polish.

I only got a single color

I got a second eye shadow in my glam bag (which I didn't mind at all!) it was the Natural Mineral Coconut Eye Shadow by Pacifica I got the ethereal color and I just love this one too. The four pack on amazon is $16.69, I couldn't find the singles. I used it as a base for my shimmer shadow and it seems to make my eyes pop more because it gives it the smooth, lighter base to start with. I love that this shadow is more natural then others, but it isn't a huge deal with me. I figure I am exposed to chemicals all the time, they are tested and found safe for people so I use anything. I would totally buy this one in the store though, it goes on smooth and not too thick. Doesn't get too dusty in the container like some others do. Two thumbs up for this one.

Eco-Beauty Be Good. Good Day. Day Moisturizer I only had a chance to use a bit on my  hand (already had makeup on!) but it seems pretty good. No strong smell, no greasy feeling after it's on and does leave my hands feeling surprisingly smooth. Not sure how much it is, since I can't seem to find it for sale but I am definitely going to use what they sent me.

All of my stuff came in a fun bag. It's not my favorite, but I figure it will make a fun bag for the girls to play with or a good thing to give away (door prize maybe?) I feel like I more then got my money worth in this month's glam bag. Pretty happy with my decision to join. Here's another chance for you to join me on ipsy. Its ten bucks a month and you get more then that back in beauty products.

1000 Gifts: A gift bringing laughter, prayer, quiet

• My girls are a huge gift. They are now into the jokes. None of them are great, but they make me laugh trying to remember them. 
• Prayer is a gift, to be able to talk to my God whenever I want? It's wonderful. 
• A quiet house is a gift. Sometimes you just need to unwind and relax and a quiet place really helps.
