This post is a little later than I was hoping, but I'd rather it take a little longer and be able to give a more accurate review than rush a review and not give detail info.
September's Glam Bag theme was: "Who is going to stop you?"
It's all about expressing yourself through makeup with the fun products in their bag.
And the makeup bag has a fun eyelash design on the front.
You can watch my quick video review here:
Here are the products I received in my September Glam Bag:
1. WINKY LUX: Eyeshadow in Ursula
This violet-purple eyeshadow is from Winky Lux's Mermaid Kitten Palette.
It has a metallic, foil-like finish.
Pros: -Long lasting. The color lasts for many hours without creasing or smudging.
-Ultra Blendable. It glides on like butter, perfect for a smokey look.
Cons: -Major fallout. There are a lot of small specks of shadow that fall under the eyes
that will require clean up.
Rating: ⭐⭐⭐ (3 out of 5)
Overall: The color is beautiful and the foiled look is stunning.
Fallout is the main drawback, but can be cleaned up with some concealer and a small brush, however, if you're in a hurry you may want to opt for a shadow with less mess.
This iridescent polish goes on sheer but can be built up to a more opaque shade.
It took me three coats to get a solid shade like I wanted.
But this color would also look nice over a darker, more opaque lacquer .
It lasted two-and-a-half to three weeks, with minimal chipping (and I do dishes and cleaning daily).
Pros: -Beautiful shade. Reflects different colors in different lights.
- Long lasting. Stays on for the long haul.
Cons: -Sheer. To achieve the color in the bottle, you need many coats.
Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ (4 out of 5)
Overall: The shade is gorgeous with its sparkling range of colors. And it can be used on its own or over other solid colors (I would try pink or gray, ooh maybe even black).
3. TRÈSTIQUE: Mini Lip Glaze in English Rose
The best why to describe this lip product really is as a glaze.
It is sheerer than a lipstick and not sticky like a gloss.
Fades faster than a lipstick but leaves a nice stain,
Pros: -Lightweight. Feels so soft, you can forget you're wearing it because it is so comfortable.
-Moisturizing. Thanks to coconut oil, it does not dry out lips like a stain or matte lip color.
-Buildable coverage. Color can be built up to a darker shade.
Cons: Less staying power. It lasted about 3-4 hours for me (other products have lasted 8+).
Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ (4 out of 5)
Overall: Lovely color and a very comfortable formula! It feels light and smooth, and has a natural finish.
LUXIE BEAUTY: Detail Flat Definer 110
This brush is perfect for blending and buffing.
It is great for foundations, concealers, setting powders, etc.
It can also be used for eyeshadow to buff on a good amount of shadow onto the lid/crease.
Pros: -Perfect size. It fits so well under eyes, around the nose, on eyelids, and so on.
-Soft. It is gentle and doesn't pull, especially around the delicate under eye area.
Cons: -None.
Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (5 out of 5)
Overall: I'm always impressed by Luxie's brushes. They are soft, durable, and easy to clean, with no bristle splaying as they dry. Excellent!
BRTC: Velvet Mask Duo
These ones are bit hard to review.
As I have mentioned before, I don't use a lot of different skincare products.
So I don't plan to use these any time soon.
I will likely give them to friends or family.
If I end up using them, I will update this section 😉
