Review: Ipsy November Glam Bag

Well hello fellow Ipsters!
I know, I know I am a bit late with this month's glam bag review.  But hey! Better late than never.  But before i get to the good part... i need to confess something.  You know how i was complaining about the items of my bags. Well i thought i had changed my Ipsy survey,  And it turns out i wasn't selecting all the makeup and other beauty related options.  See what happened was that I was using an old mobile phone to do the survey. And apparently that old phone was not scrolling thru all the options SMH. But that is finally fixed, so I can't wait for December's glam bag!!!

But i have rambled on too much. So let's jump in.

Here is a list of the items i received:
1. SeaRx Skincare- First of all, this was such a tiny sample. It was basically just enough for a one time use. Therefore I cant really give a thorough review. But here is what i got from that use: It has a very nice grapefruit scent. And not the artificial scent- it actually smells like a real grapefruit. The product itself is a white color. And the scrub element is very very fine, hardly noticeable. But i did have to use quite a bit of it. My skin did feel very clean and smooth. It did not irritate at all. I felt it did give my skin a natural glow and did make it more brighter. Did well at removing some loose skin cells i had around my nose and forehead area.

2. ck one color Lip Gloss color "Tender"- Again veri tiny sample. The color in the bottle looks very nice, a very soft neutral color with very fine copper glitter. But when i put it on my lips, without any other base color, the color was not noticeable. Maybe it is too close to my natural lip color. It smells like vanilla cupcake. And it is not sticky but does feel a bit heavy.

3. Elizabeth Mott you're so FINE Eyeliner- This is by far my favorite item in this month's bag! Perfect amount of silver glitter. It is a very black color, and the glitter is very fine so it does not irritate my eyes. The way the liner handle is designed makes it so easy for me to apply. And i am always struggling with my eyeliner because i can never get it somewhat even. But this liner is the perfect brush thickness/length. It did not flake and practically lasted all night. I loved it so much that i actually purchased two extea liners taking advantage of the discount codes i get for being an ipsy member. And this is the first product i actually buy from all my ipsy bags.

4. GLAMGLOW POWERMUD™ DUALCLEANSE TREATMENT- At first i had no idea what this was much less how to use it. Here is the brief description. It looks like actual mud, or clay. Its a mask that you put on a clean dry face. And you leave it on for about 10 mins. It goes on clear, but as it dries, it hardens and has a grey clay like look and feel. After the ten minutes have elapsed,  you rinse off with warm water. As you rinse it turns into an oil like consistency. And then you pat dry. I actually loved how hidrated my face felt. It indeed look much more vibrant and clean. This is definately worth the money.

5. Nicole by OPI Nail Polish "Guys and Galaxies"- this is a nice nail polish. It has a clear base. And it has lots of silver holographic glitter. The glitter is very ultra fine glitter. And also very small tiny squares. I will share some pictures with you, and you can see that I had to do at least three coats of polish. Since it has a clear base, if you only do one coat you can still see your natural nails right through the nail polish. But I did like the drying time. I did one hand and then the other and by the time I was finished with the second hand the first coat was already dry. The glitter does shine very beautiful. And it radiates tones of green and blue and very shiny. *** Update on the Nicole by O.P.I nail polish**** I do not like this polish. It basically peeled off less than 24 hrs of wear. I would expect a better quality long lasting wear from such a well known brand.
