It’s that time of month again. My monthly bag of makeup mystery has arrived!

Let’s see what’s inside my October IPSY Glam Bag.
It’s officially November! Meaning, the holiday makeup season is in full swing and product releases are out of control. I’ve only purchased a few items this holiday season. I’m trying to be more selective with my purchases and I love a product that delivers on the holiday theme. So, with those two thoughts in mind I picked up the fantastically, festive Hot Buttered Rum from Too Faced. Let’s find out how this Christmas palette performs.

And so it grows! The story of my ever expanding Too Faced collection. Recently, I bought the Sparkling Pineapple eyeshadow palette from the Tutti Frutti collection. I’ve wanted to try the Tutti Frutti collection since it was released, but it’s not available at Sephora so accessing the line in Canada isn’t easy. I thank my lucky pineapples that this collection ended up at Marshall’s. Plus, the palette was on sale for $19.00 so I couldn’t lose. Let’s see how Sparkling Pineapple performs!

Great deal alert! The other day I was browsing around Marshall’s – (my new favourite store) and I happened upon a diamond in the rough. I scored Too Faced’s, Melted Liquified Long Wear Lipstick in Chihuahua for only $12.99 CAD. I’m hoping this lipstick’s excessively long name directly correlates to wear time. Let’s find out how Chihuahua performs!

It’s that exciting time of month again! My monthly bag of makeup mystery has arrived. May’s IPSY bag took a very long time to arrive at my door (I didn’t receive it until the first week of June). My frustrations about IPSY ever increasing shipping times aside…this month’s bag was not my favourite. Let’s jump into May’s IPSY Glam Bag and check out what’s inside!
I’m from a small city on the Canadian Prairies, we have Sephora and department stores with all the major brands, but we definitely don’t have brand exclusive shops. I’m always endlessly entertained by flagship stores. It’s magical to me! An entire shop filled with everything a brand has to offer. Recently, I visited London and I knew I had to squeeze in some makeup tourism and visit Too Faced’s pink, sparkly shop.

I’ve had my eye on the Urban Decay, Game of Thrones collections since it was announced. The packaging is so rich and beautifully detailed. I’ve never seen a single episode of Game of Thrones – (but the aesthetic of this collection was calling my name). Sadly, the collection was totally sold out at my local Sephora. Surprisingly, last week, I found one lonely Sansa Stark lipstick available in the GOT display. I picked Sansa up and gave her a home. Let’s see how she performs.
It’s that exciting time of month again! My monthly bag of makeup mystery has arrived – (truthfully, it arrived awhile ago). I’m late writing this post because my April IPSY bag arrived when I was traveling so I didn’t get the chance to try out the products straight away. Now I’m back home, I’ve been playing with all the products. Let’s dive into April’s Glam Bag!
