SEPTEMBER IPSY GLAM BAG

Tinted Lip Balm by Cailyn Cosmetics in Big Apple

$19

I used this lip balm for a performance recently. It was the perfect finishing touch. Love that the lip brush is contained in the product so you're never without it. I wouldn't call this a lip balm though. A balm to me is more "smooshy" like chap stick. This tinted balm is more like a solid lip stain.

It's So Big Volumizing Mascara

$19.99

I'm a mascara snob. So when I got this sample of It's So Big voluminous mascara I put off trying it for awhile. I feel like once I put on mascara there's no taking it off until the end of the day. Once I found the courage to uncap the tube I was really impressed. I used an eyelash curler in conjunction with the mascara and the result practically looked like falsies. Love.

Single Eye Shadow in Frosted Ocean by NYX

$4.50

I was so thrilled to get a full sized eye shadow. I'm not a huge fan of blue because it reminds me of my aunt's poodle. Anyway I did try it on stage. In high school I heard that blue makes your eyes pop during a performance and I believe it to this day. I'm a fan of NYX products and this shadow made me a firm believer.

Khol Eye Pencil in Obsidian

$12

This is the smoothest eyeliner pencil I've used. I'm more of a fan of liquid liner, but this pencil surprised me. I can get the deep black line I want without multiple layers or tugging on my eyelids. Superb!

Skyn Iceland Hydro Cool Firming Eye Gels

$30 for 8 pairs

If I could afford it, I would use these every day! I just put the gel pads under my eyes for 10 minutes and any trace of puffiness was gone. I looked like I was 21 again!
