It’s already the middle of the month which means my shiny pink bubble mailer arrived in my mailbox once again…
Before I start I want to mention December’s Glam Bag. I was utterly disappointed. For that reason I did not waste a post on it.
January’s bag appeared promising!
Of course the bag is what I saw first, and I have to say I was less than impressed. Bored is really what I was.
This was them gem in the bag, my eyes were drawn to it immediately! I’m pretty sure I heard a chorus of angels begin to sing because my prayers had been answered. The Benefit Pore Fessional has been on my wish list for a very long time. I couldn’t get myself to purchase it though with it’s significant price tag… now I can try it without commitment!
A full size tube retails for $30. Approximate value $4.
How did Ipsy know that my foundation was nearing the end of it’s life? They saved me with this one! I swatched this “buff” Yaby natural finish liquid foundation on the back of my hand. It appears to be a pretty good color match for me and doesn’t feel oily or too thick. A medium coverage could be achieved with this foundation.
This is a full size product. Retail $13.55.
Another brand I’ve never used: Absolute! The packaging screams low quality to me so I’m not jumping for joy that I received them. Although, make-up removing wipes are always handy and never turned away from my cosmetics drawer. In the least they should smell like delicious pomegranate!
A 60 count package can be found at Walgreens for $6.99. Approximate value $1.
Overall I was much more satisfied with January Ipsy than December. Total value: $42.55
