The theme of this months bag was DIY (which I love)! The bag was super cute, printed with black and white women of all shapes and sizes. It came with 2 markers so you can color the bag in yourself! How awesome is that?? Let's see if the products were just as awesome!

City Color Glow Duo This is a full size product that retails for 5.99. Their description: "The Glow Duo is a shimmer cream highlight with a shimmer highlight powder that is highly pigmented and easy to blend! Perfect for creating a subtle or out of this world glow!"

I am really liking this duo the cream is super soft and the powder is soft and very blendable. Unfortunately I don't have the right makeup brush to apply this well but using my fingers still added a nice touch to my face. They give a nice soft glow that would look beautiful on any skin tone!

Goldfaden M.D. Facial Detox Mask This is a deluxe sample, the full size product is 1.7 Fl Oz and retails for $65. Their description: "Dr. Goldfaden's purifying mask works to draw out dirt and pore clogging debris to reveal skin that looks clear and appears flawless. Leaves skin looking even and appearing balanced. Cleans blemish prone skin and minimizes the appearance of pores, soothes and calms appearance."

This mask is almost the consistency of a mousse, it is very light and creamy. A small amount goes a long way. It is feels very soft and cool when applying. It dries nicely and does not feel tight at all. It left my skin feeling soft and smooth. I have very sensitive skin and I had no adverse reactions to this mask! The only drawback is that is has a very strong medicinal smell.

 Hikari Cream Pigment Eyeshadow Envy (Green with shimmer) This is a deluxe sample, the full size retails for $13. Their description: "Our Cream Eye Pigments come in an assortment of colors and can be used to create definition as a base or use delicately to add highlights to the eye.  Apply to eye with fingertip or brush and blend in. These highly pigmented cream shadows are sure to add a statement to your look!"

I really like the color I received. It is a light green with a great shimmer. The green is subtle but the shimmer is gorgeous! It looks great by itself but also blends well with other colors. I used a brush to apply and it looked really pretty.

Tarte Sex Kitten Eye Liner This is a deluxe sample the full size retails for $20 and comes with a built-in smudger on one end. Their description: ".Waterproof, smudgeproof gel eyeliner designed for the delicate lashline & inner rim. Formulated with natural waxes & none of the icky, bad stuff, the soft, comfort-glide tip applies with the ease of a pencil to tightline the lashline without pulling or skipping. Keep your look crisp or use the built-in smudger to create a sexy feline smolder before the formula sets to a 12-hour, run-resistant finish."

This is a very nice liner! It is very creamy and smooth. I love that the applicator is a twist top so you don't need to worry about sharpening the tip. I love that it is made out of natural ingredients that are safe for you. I swatched this eye liner on my hand and it lasted for 2 days! I'm not saying it's going to do that on your eyes but its still pretty impressive.

Finding Ferdinand Mini Lip Stick in Rose Gold This is a deluxe sample. This formula and color comes in both the deluxe sample size for $6 and the full size for $30. Their Description: "A rosey red shade with a metallic-gold sheen. High-pigment for long lasting wear. Moisturizing blend of botanical oils that allow lip colors to apply smoothly."

I am actually in love with this shade! It is exactly what I have been looking for! It is a nice rosy color that is great for everyday wear. It is very creamy but like many lipsticks my lips did feel dry after a few minutes, a clear gloss would probably be a good addition.

What I think overall: This year has been amazing for Ipsy and this bag is no different. I really liked every product this month! I found the lipstick shade I have been looking for I got an awesome highlighter palate, and a really nice eye liner! This bag was such a win!!!

I love this company and I love their service. They find me products that I would never have been able to find myself. 

Total value of this bag was 48.50!!!!
