September Ipsy!

This is a very exciting post because I've been waiting for this bag anxiously to come in the mail! 

This month's theme is Classic Beauty and I'd say that the products fit the theme very well. 




The bag: I really like this month's bag! I like the pattern on it and also really enjoy the colors of it. The colors are fall inspired but not an overwhelming amount. 

Nyx Single Eyeshadow in Pure Gold
$4.50 - Nyx
The bronze gold color is gorgeous! I would wear this color for sure. This shadow is soft and highly pigmented. It blends well. I wore this shadow today with a concealer and liner underneath it and it didn't stay on all day to be honest. I never have this problem so I was very confused.  

Pop Beauty Pouty Pop Crayon in Rose Romance
$4.17 - Ulta
I am currently obsessed with lip products of this kind and am excited to try something other than my beloved Covergirl Jumbo Gloss Balms. The color is a mauvey pink and is very nutral and subtle. It has a slightly minty smell and is a pretty color on. This is more opaque than the Gloss Balms and is still moisturizing.  

Its So Big Volumizing Mascara
$8 - Elizabeth Mott
This is my second travel sized mascara in a row, and I really don't mind that, especially so I can take them on the go. This mascara is very curling, defining, and doesn't clump. The formula is very wet and not sticky, which i really like for some reason. The wand has a regular bristle wand and has a shape that protrudes and inverts which helps focus on the inner and outer lashes which helps if, like mine, yours are very stubborn.  

Chella Ivory Lace Highlighter
$18 - Chella
I'm excited about this product. This is a great concept. It glides on so smoothly with minimal pressure and blends well. This is matte and a very beautiful product. I don't know how much I'll actually use this product, maybe only for more dramatic looks. 

I have used this product every day this week and I love it! It is so convenient for me to not have to find an eyeshadow when I'm in a rush. 

Starlooks Kohl Eye Pencil in K01 Obsidian
$12 - Starlooks
I was least excited about this product to be honest. This is a good black eyeliner and stays on for most of the day, but not the WHOLE day. This is also great for beginners because it smudges easily, so if you mess up when applying this, you can smoke it out and diminish little mistakes. Although this smudges during application, it doesn't once it sets. This is a pretty good liner, it applies smooth and doesn't tug, but I don't find it to be anything too special.  

Total Value: $46.67
The prices are for how much product I received. Some products came in sets and some came  in travel sizes so I calculated the price as close as I could based on how much was sent to me in the bag.



What I wish I got:

Butter London Nail Lacquer in La Moss:
$15 - Butter London
I love these polishes and this oxblood color is absolutely GORGEOUS for the fall time.

Cailyn Cosmetics Tinted Lip Balm in Big Apple:
 $19 - Cailyn Cosmetics
This color is so pretty and fits really nicely with the theme. I am always looking for new lip products, especially now for the fall and winter time.
