 As always I loved my glam bag.  So worth the $10! This month it would have retailed for $70 plus I got a cute little make up bag.  When I look at all the items they had to pick from this month, I was happy to see, all the items I received were the items I would have picked out myself.  Such a great subscription.  Shipping did take a bit longer this month than I would have liked, I know they had some issues with their warehouse this month.  You will find a lot of negative reviews right now on their facebook page, but they are trying to resolve the issues. Obviously they can't help everyone at the same time.  So don't let the negative reviews get you down, they are super helpful when you have issues.  There are some people were they can't please them. It is worth the $10 multiple times, so sign up!!

Cailyn Lip Balm: Apple Pink 
Retail Price: $19Review: Inside the tall white cap is a brush.  I feel like there is a lot of material for the packaging for a tiny bit of product.  I did find I didn't need that much product to get the pigment I wanted, but I don't feel like this is convenient to have on the go.  You can't use your finger because the opening is a bit to small, so you have to use the brush, which takes a long time to put on. The shade is pretty, but not at all moisturizing.  My least favorite product in the bag, but will still use it.

Urban Decay 24/7 Eye Pencil: Black Velvet
Retail Price: $20

Review: Love this eye liner! Applies very smoothly and has great pigment. I know this is going to get some major use.  Great brand in general, so happy it was in my bag, because I'd be too cheap to buy this otherwise!

Elizabeth Mott Pop Goes the Shadow: Champagne
Retail Price: $12.99
Ipsy Value: $61.74
Review: This is a great nude shadow.  The shadow stayed together well, and didn't fall on my face when applied.  I found using a wet brush works way better, gives a lot more color and shimmer.  Would be great as a base, or for a natural look.
