What better way to re appear on the blogging scene than with a review??!! So here goes. Today I got my first Ipsy Glam Bag in the mail. I was super excited to see that bright pink bag in my mailbox.

So, here are the contents:
Mirabella Prime face and eye primer full size (retail $29)
Mai Couture  highlighter papier St Barts 25 sheets (retail $28 for 50)
Urban Decay 24/7 Glide on eye pencil in zero ( I could only find this color in sets ranging from $12 to $19)
NYX Ultra Pearl Mania eye shadow not sure of color ( $2.50).
Be a Bombshell lip gloss in hot mess ($14)

So, I love all these products. The primer was not heavy and didn't make it feel like my foundation was sliding off my face like ones I have used before. I loved the shimmer and brightness of the highlighting papers. I hate putting blush and other pressed powders in my make up bag because they always seem to crumble and spill over everything. This would eliminate that. The eyeliner went on smooth and did not smear and the eyeshadow is pearly without being glittery (which I hate). The lipgloss is quite red and I may not have chosen this shade for myself off the shelf but it's a great thing for "wearing red beginners". It is a sheer red. I have very fair skin and was never able to find a suitable shade of red but this is probably the only thing I would dare wear out in public.

So all in all I would recommend this to a friend and I am so glad I signed up. I was not let down in any way.

Total retail value $71.50 ( I used $14 for the papers since there were only 25)
My cost $10

BONUS it arrives in a bright metallic bubble wrap package that I will be reusing to send someone  a "glam package" next time I need to mail something. Oh and it comes in this really cute little zip bag that would be great for carrying necessities in your purse.

So, if you are interested in signing up click here. Shipping is also free.
