Five products with a regular eye shadow brush included for $10 - you can't really beat that, but let us start with face care first.
Full size 2 oz/60g - $78
Sample size .25 oz/ 7.5g - $9.40
A skin exfoliant that can be used by any type of skin. Voted 2012 Allure Best of Beauty Award Winner - Best Scrub I was intrigued by all the internet commotion in the glam rooms. Some people love it and were lobbying for hoarding the samples even before the bags were shipped. I tried it. It has a pleasant smell, and I could feel the little scrub granules while using it (for the record I don't like that feeling too much). My skin was smoother and not irritated after using it (and that's a feat considering I was irritated after using Laura Mercier gentle face scrub). I was definitely glad to have received this sample though I am not sure if I will buy a full size of this product any time soon. I still have my Yonka face scrub to get through and I am not that fanatic about using scrubs on my face because I have sensitivity issues.
Full size :$20
Sample size (travel size)
Described as creamy and waterproof- there are people who say it is perfect for their waterline and those that hated it there and said it smudged like crazy. Due to concerns expressed in some groups about this eyeliner being crumbly/old I did swatch it and I liked it. I think if you want to use it on your waterline your best bet would be to set it with either black eyeshadow or some setting powder. As I said I got another black eyeliner from Birchbox in the same month. Because this brand is so well known I decided to gift it to my niece. She did not report any issues with it.
3. Elizabeth Mott Pop! goes the shadow in champagne
Full size :2g : $12.99
A beautiful soft shimmery shadow that goes with the black eyeliner for an everyday look. My favorite!
Did I mention soft? Definitely a keeper. And we got a full size product :)
Full size 0.2 oz. - $14
Great neutral peachy pink lip liner. I don't use those often I am more of a gloss girl, but I really like the ease with which it glides on my lips. A keeper for when I want to do a nude lip. It works beautifully.
5. Coastal scents medium eyeshadow brush for $2.49
Awesome. I love getting brushes, and after trying this one I might buy more. There was not a lot of shedding ( maybe a hair or two) and the brush itself has a nice long handle and packs the eyeshadow the way it is supposed to. I have to see how it behaves after I clean it but I think I am already in love with it.
Overall I really liked this bag. I got enough products to make a look and I enjoyed an opportunity to try dr.brandt microdermabrasion. I can't decide what I like best. I really like the brush, lip liner and eyeshadow. If you total the price of the items that I liked it comes up to $38.88 (I'm not counting the Urban Decay Eye Pencil I gifted) for $10. Quite a deal.
I'm a happy Ipster.
