April Glam Bag

Before this month is over, I want to share my glam bag.  Some of you have no idea what I'm talking about soooooooooo back when I was really starting to experiment with and learn more about makeup (almost two years ago) but didn't really know what brands to try or exactly what products to buy, I subcribed to this website called Ipsy.com.  It was founded by Michelle Phan (Youtube guru) and each month for $10 (plus tax), subscribers receive a glam bag with samples and full-sized beauty products.  Members can also watch and play along with the stylists with same products that they are using.  You take a beauty quiz when you sign up that helps them tailor your glam bag to your likes and looks.  And there's discounts, contests, and giveaways every month on certain products, even ones that might not have made it into your bag, but you still might be interested in.  I do reccomend subscribing for those who are not that familiar with the millions of products and brands that are out there.  I'm not gonna lie, there's months where I completely hate everything that they've sent me (like this month!).  But I like it because it gives me the opportunity to try new shit for only $10.  I can't tell you how many products that I received over time that have turned out to be my favorites.  So try it or don't, but I will be sharing my glam bags every month just in case you guys wanna see first hand how it is.

So this month I received:

1. Wind Blown 05 Dry Finishing spray by Redken
   
2. JulieG Nail Polish 
   
3. Pink Carnation Blush by Pandora's Makeup box
   
4. Nude Dude Eyeshadow by theBalm Cosmetics
   
5. Mini Lip & Cheek tint by Mullen &Sparrow
   

Really?!  I've never heard of any of these brands except for Pandora's and maybe I'm thinking of Pandora jewelry *side eye*. I haven't tried any of these products yet but of course I will.  The only thing I seriously dislike about the whole subscription process is that you get to see all the stuff they didn't put in your glam bag, so sometimes I'm sitting there like 'why tf didn't you put that Too Faced melted lipstick or some mascara or primer or some shit?!?!'

Oh yeah and there's a forum on Ipsy.com where all the ladies discuss what they received in their glam bag and if they live near each other or whatever they swap out the products they didn't like with somebody else wanted it.
