November 2012 Ipsy/Glam Bag!

I got the November Ipsy/Glam Bag yesterday, and as it's the first I've received since beginning this blog, I thought I'd share my take on the contents!

For those who don't know, Ipsy/My Glam Bags is a monthly subscription service of 5-6 deluxe sized samples in a cute bag for $10 a month! You can find out more information here. I personally really like Ipsy, as I tend to get into a rut with products, and since the $10 is automatically deducted from my bank account each month, I hardly miss it. Win-Win, right?

The theme this month was "Party Perfect!" Personally, brown, berry, and gold don't scream "party" to me, but it IS fall, and the colors are very wearable at this point in the season.

  

Not much to say about the actual bag this month, it's brown with a gold zipper. The color evokes thoughts of chocolate, but sadly the material the bag is made of looks and feels cheap. It's about the same size as the last one, but definitely not as unique or cute. (A heavy feeling black and white chevron print with a red zipper.)

Totally Bold Tenacious Gold and Teal!

 Unless you've been living under a rock for the past year or so, you probably already have SOME awareness of the Maybelline Color Tattoo 24 Hour Cream eye shadows. You've probably seen the brightly pigmented little glass jars in the supermarket, drugstore, in a magazine ad. There's 10 colors in the permanent collection, and there have been two limited edition sets of four. I own 11 of these. They're great to use alone, and are amazing when used under powder. MOST of them are amazingly pigmented, and apply and blend perfectly. Some take a little more work, but the staying power is worth it.

I did a gold and teal look with them today, and a handful of other products.

And then I decided to make a step by step post/tutorial on one of the many ways to use these amazing shadows!
