This was my first ever Ipsy glam bag and most likely the starting point to my subscription addiction! I had been on the Ipsy "waiting list" for about two months and completely forgot about it until I checked my email one day and it said my glam bag was on it's way! :) I really had no idea what to expect and what came next was very surprising....

| November 2013 Ipsy Theme "Glam It Up" |
- EM Michelle Phan Lip Gallery Creamy Color Sheer Lipstick in shade "Nude"
- Be a Bombshell Lip Crayon in shade "Hot Damn"
- Nailtini Straight Up Color Nail Lacquer in shade "Champagne"
- Pixi Beauty Bronzer in shade "Subtly Suntouched"
- Starlooks Gem Eye Pencil in shade "Topaz"
- BH Cosmetics Galaxy Chic Baked Eyeshadow SAMPLE in shade "Aphrodite"
This totally blew my mind. There were so many products! Remember, I was completely new to Ipsy and only paid 10 dollars total. I thought it would only be a few little samples, nothing really that exciting. These are FIVE full-sized products and one deluxe sample! I also didn't know that you could check your glam room to see what products you would be getting... so this was completely a surprise for me. (Now I can't resist the temptation to see beforehand hahaha).
EM Michelle Phan Lip Gallery Creamy Color Sheer Lipstick in shade "Nude"
This is a very nice lipstick. It's smooth and creamy and feels very moisturizing! The color is sheer, hence the name. However, the shade is just... unexciting. I feel like it doesn't bring anything to my lips and I usually like to have -some- color there. That being said, I'm very happy I received this product.
Retail price: 15 USD
Be a Bombshell Lip Crayon in shade "Hot Damn"
Okay, so I might have given this to a friend before I had a chance to review it. I hate the way bright reds look on me so I gave it to my friend Danielle who looks amazingggg in reds!
Retail price: 14 USD
Nailtini Straight Up Color Nail Lacquer in shade "Champagne"
This is such a lovely and wearable color. I love this so so much. I've worn it a few times and it looks stunning. I'm very happy that I received this shade considering the other possible shade was silver (which I don't wear at all).
Retail price: 13 USD
Pixi Beauty Bronzer in shade "Subtly Suntouched"
I'm kind of makeup illiterate so I had never used a bronzer before. I had no idea what to do with this so I'm very happy I got it so I could figure it out. After looking up various tutorials, I learned how to use bronzer and this is the absolute most perfect shade for me. It looks great without being overbearing.
Starlooks Gem Eye Pencil in shade "Topaz"
The only kind of eye pencil that I use is your standard black one, so I'm kind of at a loss as to what to do with this. I'm sure a silver eyeliner has a purpose somewhere, and I'm still trying to find it. This pencil is very smooth and glides right on, not to mention it's HUGE. It has great quality with high pigmentation, it's just the wrong shade for someone like me.
Retail price: 14 USD
BH Cosmetics Galaxy Chic Baked Eyeshadow SAMPLE in shade "Aphrodite"
This is probably one of my favorite things included in this month's bag. This is a baked eyeshadow and it's SO pigmented. "Aphrodite" is a very crimson color. I loved this so much that I immediately went online and bought the entire palette. This is a relatively inexpensive product (I paid 10 USD for the whole palette), but it's just amazing quality. I'm also a space nerd and amateur astronomer so I thought the whole concept was pretty amusing!
Retail price: -sample-
FAVORITES: Nailtini nail polish, Pixi bronzer, and BHC baked eyeshadow!
Ipsy price: 10 USD
