February 2016 Glam Bag

This was the first Glam Bag I received from Ipsy, and I must admit that I was pleasantly surprised! As is the case with nearly all of my Glam Bags, it typically takes a few days to truly appreciate the items I receive. But I must say, most of these items are really great! Overall, I give this Glam Bag 7.6 out of 10 stars.

Listed from left to right, here is a summary of my February Glam Bag items and what I thought of each product.

Seraphine Botanicals, Carrot + Rose Hydrating Cream (9 out of 10 stars) -  this is a hydrating cream and it is AMAZING! Not only does it have an amazing scent, but it is super nourishing; a small amount of this product goes a long way. This is one of the items I will definitely consider repurchasing when my sample runs out.

Trust Fund Beauty, nail polish in 'I'm Kind Of A Big Deal' (9.5 out of 10 stars) - I am in love with this formula! I had not heard of this brand before, but it is great! As someone who has a slight obsession with nail polish, I've tried a lot of different formulas, and the consistency of this is one of my favourites. One coat is all you need if you are in a rush (but two or more coats looks almost as good as nails that are professionally done!) I'll definitely be purchasing more shades from this brand.

Smashbox Cosmetics, Photo Finish Primer Oil (6.5 out of 10 stars) - this product makes me slightly nervous because of how oily it makes my skin look after applying, however I haven't experienced any blemishes/breakouts after using it. It's not a product I'd typically use in my day-to-day routine, but it effectively provides hydration and gives my skin a dewy glow.

Naked Cosmetics, eye shadow in 'Mica' (8.5 out of 10 stars) - this shade is gorgeous and glittery, and is perfect shadow for special-occasion makeup. Unfortunately, the fallout is quite significant with this shadow and I tend to get glitter all over my face whenever I use this product. It adds an amazing shimmer though, but only a small amount of product is required for each use.

Bathhouse Soapery & Caladrium, Cioccolato Foaming Body Scrub (4.5 out of 10 stars) - this scrub smells AMAZING! It has a chocolaty scent that makes my baths more enjoyable and relaxing. I found that it doesn't lather the best, but I can look past that because of how great it smells.
