Just curious what everyone got I theirs. I like the bag this time. I have only received three other ones and this is the first time I didn't get a tool. I got a mini nail polish which is neon pink, mini lip stick gloss thing, mini thing of perfume and a nude eye shadow and sample of face lotion. It seems everything is a sample this month and I usually got at least one full sized item in the past plus a tool. Happy with the lip gloss stuff but it is tiny. I haven't tried anything yet except the perfume which is really sweet. Not sure I like it at all.

I got mine today. I think the bag is cute this time as well. I got an eyeshadow primer, the tiny lipstick (happy it looks like a better color for me than the hot pinks I have been getting), an eye shadow (also looks like a good color), a travel size of dry shampoo, and the hot pink nail polish.

I found out about it here. You sign up for a subscription and then wait. They ask you a few questions and then just when you write them an email asking how much longer will I be on the waiting list all of a sudden you are approved lol. It costs $10 a month and you get a cute little makeup bag and a few goodies each month. Not all have been hits not so sure about this one but overall it has been worth it. I think a few of the bags will get used as part of a gift for my niece because seriously how many makeup bags does anyone need.

I have to say I like the colors this month as I hated the bright pink lipstick last month and maybe the month before. I know I stated no pinks. I don't really wear polish on my nails but think I will use it on my toes. It just seemed everything was really small this time around but I think I will use most of it just not sure on the perfume. I barely put any on and am really smelling it as it is so sweet. I like that it came in a bottle with a roller ball that is nice.

Technically, I think the eyeshadow is considered full size because I think it is the same size as it is in the palette. (At least, I think ipsy called it full size on FB.)
I got the Flirty eyeshadow shade, which is described as a golden violet. See my avatar? Yeah, I am about that pale IRL, and this BARELY shows up on me. And it doesn't look purple. I am not complaining, because it's easier to layer it on than to tone it down, but so. many. people. were hoping to get that because they wanted a not-brown shadow for a change, and it's just really not that different, at least not on me. But I like it so no biggie.
I got the starlooks gloss, which I like but also barely shows up. LOL. But it tastes nice.
I got the mullein/sparrow lip & cheek tint. I don't hate it, but it's weird. It has patchouli in it, which I can smell, but thankfully cannot really taste. But it's in a tin and is a PITA to open.
I got the hey honey silk serum. Meh. Also don't hate it, but have a million and one things like it.
And I got the hikari blush, which is nice because it is full size, but I don't care for the color.
But I'm happy with it for the $10 and I think the bag is cute. I've liked the last three actual bags. Before that, the last one I liked was last June's.

I loved the bag this time, but the rest I'm not so sure about. I got another brush, the nail polish, but its not a full size bottle, the dinky little eye shadow sample thing, and a lip balm. The balm was ok, but it's hot here already so when I got home this afternoon it had been in my mailbox for a bit and was melted. It smelled good. I also got another eye primer.

I love, love, love the bag. It's probably my favorite bag.
I got a hot pink nail polish by Julie.
A full sized lipstick by KCO in a mauve-y neutral color (although this arrived damaged, haven't decided if I'm going to email them).
A tiny eyeshadow sample in a brown shade (love the cute packaging on this).
A MICA beauty eye primer (excited to try it).
And a honey lip balm (blah).

I haven't received mine yet, but according to my Glam Room I'll be getting:
JulieG Nail Color - I'm a nail polish addict so I'm happy to be getting this.
Pandora's Pink Carnation blush - I'm on a never-ending hunt for the perfect blush, so I'm crossing my fingers on this one.
Nude Dude eyeshadow single - not sure what color, but at least it's not another lipstick (I hate lipstick).
MicaBeauty eye primer - Always interested in trying primers because I've yet to find one I totally love, so I'm cool with getting this.
Muellin & Sparrow Mini Lip & Cheek stain - I've been curious to try a cheek stain and perhaps I won't hate a lip stain as much as I hate lipstick.
All in all, I'm excited to get this month's bag as I'm looking forward to trying all 5 products. The last 6 or so bags, I've been lucky if there was even one or two things I wanted to try.

I got mine today.
I love the bag. I will use it for sure. Probably in my beach bag because it just has that beachy kind of summery vibe about it.
I got the full size Hikari blush in the color "tango" which is a bright coral pink. I thought it looked way too bright for me when I opened it up, because I usually wear very subdued blush, but it doesn't look clownish on. Just brighter than I'm used to.
And the Nude Dude eyeshadow in the color "fit" which is a gold/bronze metallic color. I'll use it for sure, but probably have at least one color just like it in one of the UD Naked palettes.
I got the Starlooks lip gloss mini. Kind of a rose gold. It's kind of sheer but I like the color and I'll definitely use it up.
And the Hey Honey honey silk morning facial serum. Not too happy with the scent, it's pretty strong. But I'll give it a try because the scent faded pretty fast when I tried it on the back of my hand.
Last a small fragrance rollerball. Jorel Parker "Femina". It reminds me quite a bit of Viva la Juicy from Juicy Couture. Nothing wrong with that, I like me some Viva.
All in all I think it was a big win this month. The blush is a little bit out of my comfort zone but still usable. I just don't know about the facial serum. Heavily scented skincare products are a pet peeve of mine unless the scent fades fast.

Heavily scented skincare products are a pet peeve of mine unless the scent fades fast. and I are ipsy twins - I received the same items. I think the bag is cute too. When I added last month's empty bag to my ipsy empty bag stash I couldn't believe I had collected so many. What do you guys do with all the bags? The Hikari blush in Tango - I've promised to a friend but now I'm wondering if I should've tried it first. I am pale as pale can be and it looks REALLY bright. I am wearing the Nude Dude eye shadow today and really like it. I did a soft brown smokey eye and smudged some of that under my bottom lashes. I'm also using the Starlooks lip gloss. It's ok, I can take it or leave it. I haven't tried the hey honey facial serum yet - not a fan of honey scents and am not sure what to do with it but I'll try it. I like the Jorel Parker fragrance - kind of nice to mix it up and have something new. |

I love the bag itself, one of my favorites. Inside, I got
Hikari blush-looks pretty, think I'll like it
Nude dude eyeshadow-like the color, cute packaging
Concealer brush-nice, I can always use a new makeup brush
Julie G nail polish-don't use nail polish, so I'll give it to dd. I changed my quiz last year and I finally stopped getting nail polish, so I'm not sure why I got it again.
Dry shampoo- I hate dry shampoo, threw it out

I got:
Bright pink nail polish--It looks very Eighties. I haven't tried it yet.
Pink Carnation blush--I like the color, but it goes on really heavy. I'd rather build up than wipe down.
Mica Beauty Eye Primer--Really nice primer. Just as good as the Smashbox one I bought a month or two ago.
Nude Dude eyeshadow in Fit--Yet another neutral eyeshadow. Maybe I need to lower my age by 30 years.
Olive lip balm--very nice lip balm. I like it.
The bag is really cute this month too.

got mine too. It was only my second bag.
got the same as tracyart and Anne-Marie. I wore the rollerball perfume today. I like it, it is a tad sweet. I've applied the honey facial serum once yesterday morning.
I'm a tad scared of the blush color. Will try soon.
and yes, love the bag

I just got mine.
Cute summery bag.
- Yet again more eye products! I get 2 or 3 a month. I'm not even sure it's humanly possible to use that much eye product in a month. Ugh.
- Nude Dude mini eyeshadow. Cute packaging.
- Mica Eye Primer
- Crown Brush Oval Concealer brush
- Olive Lips Oats & Honey lip balm. Nothing special
- Melted Liquified Lipstick in Melted Peony. Not sure about the color.

I don't know what I'd do if I had a ton of bags but here're a few ways that I use the ones I do have. Hope it helps some of the posters asking for bag ideas.  ~ As a make-up bag in my purse, work locker/desk etc  ~ I use 2 in my locker at work. One as a small make-up bag with make-up. The other as a small "emergency" kit. It has a sewing kit, tweezers, band aids, nail file etc inside. ~I use them in my closets and dresser drawers. I either put cedar chips or potpourri inside and use as a satchet ~In my glove box as an emergency/first aid kit: band-aids, hand wipes,steri-strips, packets of Aleve etc ~As gifts. Either a cute bag stuck in a stocking,for example. Or I'll put together a cute little set of something (nail care, make-up brushes etc) put them in the bag and just tie a cute little note to the outside with ribbon ~In my desk to store random, small not often used office supplies. ~In care packages, Christmas boxes and Any Soldier/Sailor boxes ~In my sewing/crafting area to store tiny bits of stuff. lol For example I don't do a lot of embroidery so the little bits of floss I have are wrapped around cards and then stored in one of the larger bags ~I sometimes use one as a wallet. When I'm out taking photos or sketching around town I don't want to carry a camera bag and a purse. So I put a few things in one of the bags (ID, debit card, phone etc) and then I can smoosh (is that a word?) it down in the camera bag. Being that it's soft I know its not going to scratch my camera or lenses Anyway hope that helps. Kat |

My first package arrived today and I opened it as I read this thread. My contents are basically the same as the OP's, bright pink nail enamel, copper colored eye shadow and lip gloss, bottle of perfume and a little tube of what I guess is a facial lotion. The containers are tiny so the wording thereon is microscopic, but hey, the "surprise" value was great. I'm happy to be among the receivers now.

You can find out what the mystery lotion is by going to the website and checking to see what was in your glam bag. There will often be instructions too. |

Mine should be here today! I'm fighting the urge to see what I am getting because I like being surprised.
As far as what to do with the bags here are some uses I have for them:
- A makeup/hygeine bag at work (stash extra gloss, toothbrush, toothpaste, feminine items, etc)
- I keep one in my glove compartment to keep track of my insurance ID card and anything pertinent to the car that is tiny. They fit nicely in the glove box.
- In my work bag to hold small office supplies
- I actually keep two in my glove compartment. One for what I mentioned above, the other for the emergency stash of feminine product.
- In my craft area to store small items
- As a travel bag when I travel if I don't want to haul my bigger cosmetic bag.

I only have a few bags but love ideas to use them. I like most of them but figure by Christmas -assuming I am still getting them I will pass one or more on. Even if I don't love everything it I still think it is worth the $10 at least so far.
