I didn't see a thread for the ipsy October bag, or any of the recent bags so I thought I would start one.
I received my bag yesterday and I have to say that I am happier with what I received than I have been in MONTHS.
My bag included:
Ciaté London
Fierce Flicks Eyeliner - I'm not a liquid eyeliner person, my hand tends to not be steady enough, but I tried it this morning and I like it. Was impressed with how quickly it dried. I still put a layer of very dark brown eyeshadow over the liner with my liner brush just to kind of cover up some of my shakiness.
theBalm Cosmetics
Hot Mama Blush - haven't used this yet but like the color and think I will use it
Cosmoholic
Liquid Lipstick in Mysterious Mocha - tried this last night and am wearing it today. Love the color, feel and even the taste.
Elizabeth Grant Skin Care
Green Power C Hydrating Cleanser - always enjoy getting a travel size cleanser I can add to my stash.
MeMeMe
Blush Brush - I LOVE this brush! My regular blush brush has a very long handle and doesn't fit in the brush bag I travel with. Probably wouldn't have ever made the move to actually buy a brush that fits, and this one is PERFECT. Used it this morning and am leaving my long-handled brush behind.
Anyone else want to share what was in their bag this month?

I agree that this month's bag is a big improvement over what I have been getting lately.
I got:
theBalm Cosmetics - Hot Mama Blush - a very pretty pinky/peachy color that I really like
Beauty Basics - Satin Taupe Eye Shadow - a shimmery taupe/bronze - haven't used it yet, but can see using it
essence cosmetics - superfine waterproof eyeliner pen - this was the one product I wasn't thrilled with - it's black, which I don't wear, because it's too harsh
ModelCo - Instant Brows Brow Pencil - a light brown brow pencil with a brow brush on the cap. Works pretty well and the color is good for me, although I still prefer my Nyx brow mascara for ease of use
Flashology - FlashPatch Eye Gels - supposed to cool and smooth the under eye area - I'm excited to try these, as that is a problem area for me, just haven't had a chance yet
Overall, a very nice bag.

I am only "meh" on this bag, but only because they keep sending me nail polish and I keep saying I don't like it and wouldn't buy it when I review my monthly bag. It seems to work for everything else except the damn nail polish.
I got the hot mama blush, a lip crayon, nail polish, gel eyeliner and a leave in treatment for my hair.

I like what you got better than what I got. Of the things I remember, I got the Flicks eyeliner (they send me eyeliner every month it seems, even though I don't even use eyeliner), a nail polish, one step oil cleanser (have used this a few times and it seems ok), a matte lip crayon (again, they send me these from the same company all of the time). I keep thinking I should just cancel and put the money towards buying things that I actually use. There have been a few things that I have liked a lot, but most I just donate.

My granddaughter has hers delivered to my house, so I see what's in it every month. Most of the time she isn't thrilled with it, but she is going to put a bunch of it in a kit for her sister for Christmas. I am trying to talk her out of this month's bag. I love it!

Glad you liked yours this month too. It sounds like you received a different eyeliner than I did but mine is the same - very harsh black - which I don't use. I wanted to try it this morning so I wet an eyeliner brush and dipped it in dark brown shadow and went over the black line which made it much less harsh and I actually like the look. The eyeshadow you got sounds great too! |

I'm sorry yours is only "meh" - I find myself feeling that way about mine a lot of the time. Hope next month is better! |

Every time I decide to cancel I give it one more month and that's when I get a great bag. It's like they KNOW. I have a friend and an 11-year-old DD that get what I won't use in my bag each month. DD would be particularly disappointed if I canceled. |

That's a great idea - I should start putting some of my unwanted items away for stocking stuffers! Hopefully she'll share with you this month. |
