Happy October! Hope you’ve been having an awesome day! Another late post on this one, but as I said in my August ipsy post, since I haven’t gotten my October ipsy I can justify…right?
On to the bag!
1. The Bag
Cute! Similar to the very first ipsy bag I got. It seems like the fall/winter version compared to the highlighter pink one. I like it, the only thing is that the zipper is weird. You can kinda tell from this picture. In the upper left area of the zipper, it’s puckered out so it doesn’t close properly. A bit annoying, but cute anyways!
2. Crown Brush Infinity Shadow/Crease Duet Brush
I’m happy I got a brush! I don’t have a huge brush collection so any are definitely additions. Honestly, I don’t really like the fact that it is double ended though as it makes it hard to store in the cup I currently have my brushes in. I’ve used this and like it. The pencil crease brush is a little too dense for me and feels a little bit poke-y. Very happy with the shadow brush though as it is fluffy and big to cover my whole lid!
2. Pacifica Natural Water-Proof Eye Pencil in Gun Metal
Not happy with this one. I like my liners very very dark otherwise it just gets swallowed up by my eyes. I’ve used this once and it seems to tug at my eyelid. Maybe it’s just cause I’m used to my Make Up For Ever pencil liner which goes on like butter. I’ll hopefully be able to get some use out of this, but otherwise it’s a thumbs down for me.
3. CAILYN Art Touch Tinted Lip Gloss in Love Affair
This was a disappointment as well. I’ve never use a more watery lip gloss. It almost feels like it’s going to drip off my lips it’s so saturated. It’s not very pigmented either. I would say a thumbs down.
4. Mitchell and Peach Luxury Hand Cream
This one was a surprise. When I first smelt it, I thought it was…weird. I was reading a lot of reviews online and they were saying it smelled like old lady. Funny enough, as I kept on using it, the more I liked it. It’s definitely a different scent. No Bath and Body Works up in here, but that’s almost what I like about it! The formula is nice, and absorbs fast into the skin.
5. Nourish Organic Moisturizing Cream Face Cleanser
This is the only product I haven’t tried yet, but I’m excited to! With winter coming, my combination skin becomes very dry in patches which isn’t so nice. Hopefully this doesn’t break me out though.
And there is my September ipsy. I would say it was pretty good. Depending how I feel, I might cancel around Christmas time. Not because I don’t like it, I feel like this is the only beauty box I would subscribe to, but just because I feel like I have so much stuff. I don’t want to get so bogged down that it becomes wasteful. I’ll see though how it goes!
Hope you have an awesome day! 🙂

Meh, none of the stuff really appeal to me (except for the eyeshadow brush BECAUSE AN EXTRA BRUSH = AN EXTRA DAY TO PUT OFF BRUSH LAUNDRY). It would have been interesting to see how those YT girls "promo'd" this because ehhhhhhh.
Yeah no for sure lol. Brush laundry gets done around my house every couple of months so more brushes are always needed! I've never actually even seen a yt promo lol.
I wasn't too excited about my sept ipsy bag…I don't really remember what I got anymore except for the pacifica nail polish and the same cleanser you have too! I thought the cleanser smelled kind of weird, I guess since it's organic and all? The bag is super handy in carrying all my makeup products on a daily basis though!!
Oh hmm…interesting. I still have yet to try the cleanser so I will be aware of that! Yeah I like the bags. I always find they're the type of things you would never really buy in a store, but once you have them, you find uses for them! 🙂
