My Ipsy Glam Bag is Finally Here!

I am quite impressed with my first Ipsy Glam Bag. This is for the month of April, I think the theme was pink. Every month my items will come in a cute small bag, and what I have noticed from past glam bags I have seen online, I will get 2-3 premium samples and 2-3 full size items(which is a great deal for $10.00 a month). The items I don't care so much about I will most likely give to my little sister. The full size items I got for the month of April are; hot pink blush, pink eyeshadow quad, and a baby pink nail polish. The sample was the Big Sexy Hair volumizing powder. I will hopefully have a post up soon with product reviews and pics!

The Beauty Department.com Tip- All Night Smokey eye

I loveLOVElove the Beauty Department.com. They have the greatest tips & tricks for makeup. If you go to their website, this all night smokey eye has additional instructions in text below the above photo. Their photo's are cool too because it's pretty self explanatory, like an infographic. The only additional step I would do in this look is to add an eyeshadow primer.

First off, sorry for the poor quality pics! These were taken by my cell and hopefully soon I can get a new camera with good quality. I wasn't planning to get makeup at the mall, but could not resist the clearance sale at the Sephora inside JCP. I noticed that stand alone Sephora's don't have a clearance section, but the ones inside of JCP do. 

I love Stilla eyeshadows, especially in these kits. The kits ALWAYS go sale at the end of the season, so I never buy them full price. They were $10.00 each, and one came with a lip gloss. These are nice to give as gifts too.

The Benefit box was for my Birthday. This year I think they let you chose which one you want. I had the choice of this or the fresh sugar lip mini's. I didn't like the fresh lip one's because when I got them last year they broke so easily. This kit comes with a sample mascara and mini highlighter. Very cute & convenient to put in your purse. 

The samples in the plastic bags are from a brand called Ultra Repair. It must be new because I've never heard of it. I got a soothing oatmeal mask, and moisturizing cream. What I love about Sephora is you can try products to take home.(Foundation, lotion, face masks, perfume) Whenever I visit one I ALWAYS do this. It's a fun/free way to try products to see if you like them before purchasing, or just using something for free that you cannot afford. 

What are your guys's favorite brands at Sephora?
