My First Ipsy Bag

Sorry this post is coming so late... I guess I've been too busy enjoying my glam bag! My Ipsy bag arrive about 2 weeks ago in a shiny pink package. I love the element of surprise that is involved with the Ipsy glam bags-- subscribers do not know what is in their bag as each one is customized to the buyer.

The glam bag itself is white with orange polka dots on it, which I think is pretty cute!

My ipsy glam bag included the following five items: 

1. Klorane dry shampoo 

2. Manna sheer glo shimmer lotion 

3. Jersey Shore Sun Mongongo anti-aging lip conditioner 

4. Coastal Scents eye shadow sample 

5. Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-On-Eye Pencil in 'Asphyxia'

As you can see I have misplaced my Urban Decay eye pencil, and I really hope that I find it again soon because I am obsessed with these eyeliners and was really looking forward to using this product in purple. I will be doing individual reviews of each of these products; so far I have used the shimmer lotion, lip balm, and eye shadows and am already VERY impressed.

My Hero: Makeup Setting Spray

I recently had a friend over before a night out, and as I finished applying my makeup I pulled out my MAC Fix+. My friend immediately asked what the product was and if it was worth it to invest in a makeup setting spray. My answer was.... YES.

Aside from my staple makeup products (BB cream and mascara) makeup setting spray is my most used product.  The current spray that I am using is the MAC Fix+, which I've got to say is not my favourite. The product works well, but I hate the application method. In the past I've used the Urban Decay All Nighter Makeup Setting Spray, which when sprayed applies an even mist across your face. On the other hand the MAC Fix+ does not spray evenly and actually leaves droplets of the product on my face. Once I am finished my bottle of MAC Fix+ I do not plan on re-purchasing, and will return to my original favourite from Urban Decay.  Regardless of the uneven application of the MAC product, I still believe that no makeup look is complete without a spritz of makeup setting spray- why put so much work into a look that may easily sweat or rub off?
