IPSY Blue & White Striped Glam Bag

I really love this month's Glam Bag! While not the most "January vibe", it's still a great bag - cute, fun, and a great size to stick in your handbag or travel tote. The best thing about the actual Glam Bags is just that - they're BAGS - you can actually use them to throw necessities in when on the go. The blue and white stripes, with pink trimming detail, is the perfect way to get anyone glam gal ready for Spring.

ELLA EDEN Eyeshadow in Julia

Although I have not yet fully used this product, I did swatch it and I really liked it. While I do like this shade, I feel as though it would better serve my skin tone in the warmer months. The thing I love most about this Ella Eden Shadow product is that when I researched it and its retail details, I found that it is only $14, which is a great price for a good eyeshadow. I am definitely looking forward to using this item on a regular basis in the warmer weather when my cosmetic palette brightens up a bit.

BILLION DOLLAR BROWS Foundation Brush

This brush is great! A lot of application brushes can be made thinly and do not always pick up enough product to apply to the face. A lot of application brushes can be made thinly and do not always pick up enough product to apply to the face. This Billion Dollar Brows Foundation Brush is super thick, though, and applies liquid foundation really well. I highly recommend purchasing this brush, for just $18, because it will definitely be a great addition to your makeup bag!

SKIN&CO ROMA Truffle Therapy Face Gommage

Due to specific allergies, I personally only use certain products when it comes to cleansing and facial treatments, so I actually passed this item along to a friend. When researching, what I did find was that the normal retail size was much larger, at 5.07oz for $26, over the 1oz travel size we received in the Glam Bag, which would be a great purchase. My friend did say that she loved the product and is looking into purchasing the full size.

TARTE Amazonian Clay 12-Hour Full Coverage Foundation SPF15

I love this product! I was excited to see this in our Glam Bag this month because I actually already use this product, so it's great that now I have a travel size. I have been using the Amazonian Clay 12-Hour Full Coverage Foundation, with SPF15, for five months and I have really like it. This product easily applies to the skin and definitely lasts for hours, which is great! What I have found to be the best quality about this foundation is that not only do you receive a really good product amount for the price, but the SPF15 is a huge plus. The first time I ever used this foundation was in the hot, Florida sun and heat and it definitely proved its worth.

BELLE EN ARGENT Lip Luire Gloss (Bored Now)

To be honest, I was not happy with this product at all. I am not one for lip gloss, but I gave it a chance when testing it and it definitely failed. I thought the packaging was done extremely poorly, very cheaply made and not at all up to the typical IPSY Glam Bag product standards. The product, itself, was not well made either - it was extremely thick and sticky and did not apply easily to the lip.
