Ipsy/MyGlam: October 2012

[Roxane68]

Saw a post on the Birchbox thread with a pic of what was in the Ipsy bag this month. One glance at the Balm mascara and I immediately signed up! I love the Balm and haven't tried their mascara yet. The whole bag looks great! Including the actual bag. Sooo cute! Can't wait to receive it. Didn't really want another sub service because I currently have Birchbox, Beautyfix, and QVC NB Test Tube but I couldn't resist and it's only $10. Right?

Welcome to the sub addicts' club! /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I forced myself down to only two subs next month, but I expect the $10/month Ipsy will lure me back in eventually. SUCH a good price for a bag of surprise goodies!

Did anyone who ordered a (second) bag towards not get a shipping notif yet? I put in an order a few hours before they closed signups for this month and i know xiehan did too, but she has a notif for her second box and I haven't gotten one yet even though we both did it around the same time. Anyone else in the same boat?

I tried my coastal scents eyeshadow today..   LOVE IT! 

  I wanted to wait to see how it wore before I commented..  It is heavily pigmented and lasted (so far) well over 6 hours..  I got the set with the red shadow.. I was leery about trying it (the red), but decided to do a red line in the crease and blend some of the taupe/gray color over it.. It looked really good! It turned a pinkish/purple (and didn't look like a bruise) and brought out the gold in my usually flat brown eyes.. I love pleasant surprises..   /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I got the bottom right one..

Yay! I had a hot red from Urban Decay several years ago that was fun to wear, esp. paired with a gold and a taupe. Did you take any pics of your shadow look? It would be fun to see how you wore it!

Okay, I LOVE THE MASCARA. I was really surprised at how lengthening it is! It might be replacing my beloved Diorshow...

Me too! I usually need waterproof mascaras because they always flake and smudge on me, but this really held up.

Hi ladies! I just joined today. I got my October birchbox today. Would anyone like to trade the lip product? I received a #4 and would love the red #2. Red is my signature color. ;-) I guess since I am new I can only send 2 PMs a day or something!? Not sure. But, message me, please! Thank you! 

 

[MakeupGalore]

My bag should be here today! /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Got my bag and I received lip bomb # 9... it would look horrendous on my medium skin tone.. would someone PLEASE trade me for the #2?? 

message me if you would like this one, its the light pink/nude color.

I posted swatches of Coastal Scents set 4 and the Lip Bomb 9 in my blog review (see my signature for the link).

Here are some pics:

waterline:



tightlining:



it's just adding eyeliner to the area between your actual eye and your eyelashes, to make eyeliner seem more full/complete.

Me too!  I have been on the search for so long now for the "perfect" mascara for me.  I think I may have found it.  I love dramatic lashes and this added tons of volume and lengthened too, all without clumping or causing spider lashes.  I kept looking at my eyes in my rear view mirror today while driving and thinking, "Man, those eyelashes are awesome!", lol.

Annoyed--I seem to be one of the few people who haven't got their bag yet!  It's so annoying cause it's estimated date was for tomorrow and I have got it on time every other month.  Sucks.  I actually got my BB early this month though.  Go figure.

 

[Linnake]

Got my bag today! It actually came on Saturday but since it's delivered to my work it was waiting for me this morning! yay! So as much as I love the eyeliner I just will not wear it so it's up for trade and I'd love to get hands on more mascara so PM if your interested!

LOLOL, I DO THIS TOO

Loove my bag /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> I got set 3, and the lip bomb 9 (surprisingly opaque for a nude/pink gloss).

Just curious, is anyone signing up for that Mirenesse 'instant lash transplant' thing? Is it just a lengthening mascara + primer thing? I'm always a little iffy about signing up for deals, especially from small companies I've never heard of. Very tempted, though /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />)

I actually got my 2nd one today, my first/original MG bag isn't due until tomorrow.
