January 2013 Ipsy Glam Bag

Hi Beauties! Well, this is my first Ipsy Glam Bag for January and I'm very excited to do this review for you guys. (Note: I really wish that they would have sent in a card with all the info on it like Birchbox does). I've been trying out these products that Birchbox have sent me on January 18, 2013 over the past few weeks and here are my thoughts on what I've thought about some of the products that they have sent to me in my box.



Soho Crease Brush: $8.99
I give this product 5 out of 5 stars. Love this Product, it blends my eyeshadows really well. 

Josie Maran 100% Pure Argan Oil: $48.00
I get this product 5 out of 5 stars. I love how this is a multipurpose oil.

Big Sexy Hair - Spray & Play Volumizing Hairspray: $17.50
I give this product 4 out of 5 stars. Its a great travel size hairspray. 

Nailtini Nail Lacquer in Bloody Mary: $13.00

January 2013 Birchbox

Hi Beauties! Well, this is my third Birchbox for January and I'm very excited to do this review for you guys. I've been trying out these products that Birchbox have sent me on January 14, 2013 over the past few weeks and here are my thoughts on what I've thought about some of the products that they have sent to me in my box.

Embryolisse - Lait-Creme Concentre - 24 Hour Miracle Cream: $16.00
I give this product 4 out of 5 stars. It was alright, not to crazy in love with it though.

Harvey Prince - Skinny Chic: $21.00-$55.00
I get this product 5 out of 5 stars. I love the smell of this.

Lashem - Double Trouble Lash Mascara: $19.99
I give this product 4 out of 5 stars. Wish the product was a little bit bigger, it was way to small and very easy to get lost. But otherwise, it was a good product.

Ojon - Rare Blend Oil Total Hair Therapy: $35.00
I give this product 3.2 out of 5 stars. Wish the packaging was a bit different, I'm afraid that when I do open it, it will spill. 

The Balm Cosmetics - Hot Mama: $20.00
I give this product 5 out of 5 stars. I LOVE this product so much!
