August Ipsy Glam Bag

Ciaté London Paint Pot in Dangerous Affair: I wasn't sure about the color when I first saw this since I'm not typically a fan of red nail polishes, but this was a dark red and I really liked it once it was on! It's a great color for fall!

It has started chipping a little after a couple of days, but I am quite hard on my nails! I spent a lot of time cooking, doing dishes, working, and putting together some Ikea furniture. So a couple small chips after all that is pretty good in my book!

Jersey Shore Cosmetics Mongongo Lip Conditioner in Vanilla Coconut Cream: I really liked this lip conditioner! I liked that it was organic and was really moisturizing! More so than probably any other lip product I've used! I don't really care for coconut, so that was the only negative for me, but otherwise it's a great product.

NYX Professional Makeup BORN TO GLOW LIQUID ILLUMINATOR in Gleam: I guess I am just indifferent to this product. I don't currently use a product like this, so it's not something useful for me. The color worked well for my skin tone, and it added a nice shimmer to my skin, but I'm not sure it's something I would really use. I found it to be very shimmery/glittery, so it's not something you need very much of. And for the record, I did apply it kind of thick in the picture above so you could see what it looked like.

Beauty For Real I-LINE 24-7 Eyeliner in Black Magic: I'm not sure exactly what to think about this eyeliner! It's a really bold black and it glides on easily, but I only got one use out of it because I can't get it to twist back up! So the product itself seems okay, but it's practically impossible to use! I read some of the other reviews on this eyeliner and it seems like a lot of other people had trouble with it as well. I'll give it another try, because it did seem like a decent product, but disappointing if it doesn't cooperate!

IT HAIR CARE 12-IN-ONE AMAZING SERUM: Favorite item in this month's bag! I have tried SO MANY products promising to reduce frizz and add shine, but I've never had one work as well as this! I live in a high desert climate, so I have trouble at times with my hair being slightly frizzy and fly-away. This serum is super lightweight, not at all greasy (It does feels slightly oily in my hands, once I put it on my hair, my hair did not feel greasy.) it added shine, and added just enough 'weight' to my hair to keep it from flying away. I highly recommend this product! Also, I do have pretty normal hair, it doesn't tend to be too oily or too dry.

Overall I was quite pleased with this month's bag! All of the products were products I typically use or want to try. The liquid illuminator was a new product for me, but it was nice to try!

Have you tried any of these products? Are there any you would like to try?
