Ipsy Reveals Are Up for the December 2018 Glam Bag!

This is my 3rd Ipsy Bag ever. I used to just buy stuff from CVS (like Maybeline, Revlon, etc), but now I’m trying to get better with makeup so I decided to join!

My December Bag includes:

Generation Clay – Ultra Violet Brightening Purple Clay Mask
Ciate London – Glitter Flip Transforming Glitter Lipstick
Sugar Cosmetics – Arch Arrival Brow Definer in Taupe Tom
OUAI – Scalp & Body Scrub
Nomad Cosmetics – Around-the-World Light Infusion Holographic Illuminator in Ko Pha Ngan Moonlight
Farah Brush

I’m pretty psyched about mine this month. In addition to the F.A.R.A.H. brush I’m getting:

LARITZY Lip Gloss in Curve (mauve)
I don’t wear a ton of lip glosses, but consequently I don’t own that many either so it’ll be nice to have an option if I want to go for a less pigmented look.

MURAD Renewing Eye Cream
This is the one item I really wanted this month and I couldn’t be happier. I’ve had good experiences with Murad products so far and I can’t wait to try this one.

THEBALM COSMETICS Nude Beach Eyeshadow in Bootylicious
*whomp whomp* Can’t win ’em all, folks.

HEY HONEY Relax! Propolis & Honey Soothing Cream
I didn’t know Hey Honey made a soothing cream. This is right up my street and I can’t wait to try it.

BENEFIT COSMETICS Gimme Brow+ in (hopefully) 5 – Cool Black-Brown
As long as the color match is ok, I’m psyched for this sample. I have patchy brows and I like seeing what’s out there.

This is the first Ipsy bag I’ve been disappointed in. Considering the quality of the spoilers for December, my bag feels like a grab-bag of leftovers, and not in keeping my with my preferences at all.

I’m getting:

* R&CO High Dive Moisture + Shine Creme – okay, not much for sample hair products, but I’ve heard good things about the brand.

*Ciate London Transforming Glitter Liquid Lipstick in Infamous – really not into matte liquid lips, but the color is nice.

*Tinct Cosmetics Nail Polish in Aarhus or Bilbao – this one burns. I’ve wanted a nail polish for yonks, and I finally get one, except the colors are awful: neon purple and white. As I am no longer 13, I will not wear this.

*F.A.R.A.H. Tapered Blending Brush – I just got a tapered blending brush in my September bag, but okay.

* Nomad Cosmetics Around-The-World Light Infusion Holographic Illuminator in Ko Pha Ngan Moonlight – this is the fourth out of five months I’ve been with Ipsy that I’ve gotten a highlighter in my bag. It’s getting old.

*Dr. Lipp Moisturizing Color Tint in Sweet Potato – I negatively reviewed another lip balm by this brand on Ipsy, so.

Add to the fact that I didn’t get a chance to add-on items, and despite visiting the site/opening the app multiple times over the past two weeks, never got an ‘Improve Your Glam Bag’ questionnaire…yeah. Not happy with Ipsy this month.

I like my bag this month – and the 6th item is a nice bonus!!

1. Finding Ferdinand Blush in Skinny Dip – I seem to be getting quite the blush collection! But this is a brand I haven’t tried and I don’t think I have a cool mauve shade, so very excited to try. (The Space Case blush I got in a recent IPSY bag was very disappointing, so hopefully this is a better formula…)

2. Murad Renewing Eye Cream – Could take or leave simply because I have so many eye serum samples to get through (plus some full size Context Eye Creams that I bought to replace my IPSY October ’17 one as it is my favorite!) But I love eye creams and am trying to remember to use them daily, and travel size ones are great to throw in my purse.

3. Steve Laurent Loose powder in rose gold or olive – Hoping for the rose gold, but would be fine with the olive as well. I’ve been pretty happy with other loose powders IPSY has sent and haven’t tried Steve Laurent yet. The downside is loose powders aren’t car application friendly so I don’t use them much. (Why I cancelled the otherwise fabulous Notoriously Morbid Vanishing Cabinet Sub.)

4. F.A.R.A.H. Tapered blending brush – While I don’t particularly ‘need’ more blending brushes I like them, and it’s fun adding to my growing collection

5. TLW Frizz fighter – Item I am least excited about. It’s not that I can’t use it, I just find hair samples of this size generally don’t last long enough to evaluate. However, it does say only ‘1-3 drops’ are needed, so maybe it will last longer than I think! And I love detanglers and products that add shine – hmmm, maybe I do like this inclusion after all!

6. Benefit Give-Me brow – I’m assuming I will get the middle neutral brown shade. I’m not sure it will be an exact color match but I’m very excited to get this (or a brow product in general – not sure if I have gotten a brow product from IPSY before!) and I love the travel friendly packaging. This will definitely end up in one of my put-makeup-on-in-the-car kits.

I’m pretty happy with this bag again. Ipsy has been really great recently. This month’s is pretty well rounded with products for brows, eyes, face, and lips.

* IT COSMETICS
Superhero Elastic Stretch Volumizing Mascara
I like this mascara, so I’m not unhappy about receiving it. Just got a full sized one in BoxyCharm, so I might gift it to my mom.

* SUGAR COSMETICS
Arch Arrival Brow Definer in Taupe Tom
My IT brow pencil it almost gone, so this is timely.

* INMO
Frozen Lipstick in Runway Red
This looks pretty cool. I’m not one to wear bright red a lot, but am pretty eager to try this.

* LARITZY
Dew Pot in Fine
This looks pretty. I don’t usually use cream highlighters, so this should be interesting.

* DR. LIPP
Moisturizing Colour Tint in Sweet Potato
I’m always happy with moisturizing lip products, and this looks like a pretty tint to keep at work.

* FARAH BRUSH
Tapered Blending Brush in 35E

It’s Christmas so my husband is treating me to both ipsy plus and the regular bag.
I’m so excited everything really looks awesome this month!

I still haven’t even received my November bag but here’s December:

*FINDING FERDINAND Blush in Skinny Dip (my biggest challenge is correcting the redness on my face so blush is always a no no for me)
*MURAD Renewing Eye Cream (always love skincare!)
*IT COSMETICS Superhero Mascara (mascara, my favorite beauty product)
*STOWAWAY Eyeliner
*COCO & EVE Coconut & Fig Hair Mask (I bet this is going to smell ahhhmazing)
*FARAH Brush

Overall, pretty happy. Bummed I still haven’t received my November products though…

Am I the only person who can’t add items to their glam bag?!?! What gives, Ipsy?!

Ehh, this is the first Ipsy bag that I’m disappointed in, especially after those amazing spoilers. I finally get a nail polish, but the two colors it comes in are AWFUL. Bright purple and white. Just ick. SUPER bummed about that. I’m also getting another Dr. Lipp balm, even though I poorly rated the last one I got and removed lip balms from my list of items I’m happy to get.

The other three items (sans brush) are okay – I’m also getting the Ciate liquid glitter lip; it’s not something I’d pick for myself, but I’m interested in trying it. Also getting a Nomad highlighter in a pretty holographic purple, and an R&Co hair balm.

NOTHING I’m getting was featured in the December spoilers posts. What gives?

This is my 2nd bag and i’m pretty excited, but I was hoping for a nail polish. Besides the brush, I got:

-IT COSMETICS – Superhero Elastic Stretch Volumizing Mascara in Black
-GRACE & STELLA – Dead Sea Mud Mask
-SLMISSGLAM – L36 Tapered Highlight Brush
-BENEFIT COSMETICS – POREfessional Primer
-NOMAD COSMETICS – Around-The-World Light Infusion Holographic Illuminator in Ko Pha Ngan Moonlight

Also picked up ORYZA Lip Topper in Rose Glow. I need brushes, so I don’t mind getting 2, but I got a brush and mascara in my last bag, so I’d like something different.

Exact same as Liz! I’m a happy camper! Love the extra brush because who couldn’t use another one? lol

Does anyone still have the option to get add-ons? The option disappeared for me even though I didn’t order anything.

I have the makeup brush, cake beauty hand cream, Dr. Lipp lip stain in Sweet Potato, a Trust Fund Beauty Polish, IT mascara and oryza lip topper in rose glow. Pretty happy.

Bag twins 😍

My bag will be :
Farah brush
Slmissglam brush (I love getting brushes/tools I’m so sad when my bag doesn’t have one, so two is very nice for me)
The balm bootylicious eyeshadow (the red undertones are nice, not my fave but still good)
Grace and Stella mud mask (love the minimal ingredient list can’t wait to try)
Benefit primer (so small I’m kinda ??)
Nomad highlighter (!! 💓 LOVE this brand)

I added on
R+co high dive
Gimme brow

This month is pretty much a perfect bag for me, if u are getting bags u don’t like look up tips on how to fill out the beauty profile. I update mine every month for the products I am most hoping for, it’s not an exact match all the time but I am always happy w my overall picks.

I think it’s a treat they are giving us all an extra item, the brush. I’m pretty excited about the beautiful bag this month and most of my items! STEVE LAURANT BEAUTY Loose Pigment in Rose Gold OR Antique Olive, FINDING FERDINAND Blush in Skinny Dip (COOL MAUVE!),F.A.R.A.H BRUSH Tapered Blending Brush 35E, BEAUTY CROP Lip Brulee in Rhubarb Custard Deep berry burgundy, SUGAR COSMETICS Contour de Force Mini Bronzer in Woody Wonder neutral warm brown, DELECTABLE BY CAKE BEAUTY Iced Gingerbread Hand Cream

The hand cream will be a win for sure, the blush is COOL for a change yeah!, I hope to get the rose gold pigment, the lip brulee looks stunning, and I will try out the brush. The bronzer might be to warm as most are, but I will try it.

Boo. Porefessional primer in BOTH of my bags.

LUXIE BEAUTY
Precision Blending Eye Brush 243

TINCT COSMETICS
Nail Polish in Aarhus OR Bilbao

DELECTABLE BY CAKE BEAUTY
Iced Gingerbread Hand Cream

F.A.R.A.H BRUSH
Tapered Blending Brush 35E

HEY HONEY
Relax! Propolis & Honey Soothing Cream

BENEFIT COSMETICS

I’m not happy about the nail polish since I can’t use it (nailbiter) but the rest of the bag is ok.

I’m quite happy with my bag:

-Finding Ferdinand blush
-Catrice eyeshadow in lilac
-Creme shop holiday mask trio
-Ciatè London glitter flip lipstick
-FARAH brush
-Sugar cosmetics brow definer in Taupe Tom

Besides the Farah brush I am getting:

– Pore primer
– Stowaway liner
– TLW Frizz Fighter
– Steve Laurant loose rose gold pigment
– Beauty Crop Lip Brulee

I am happy overall (although I don’t wear eye liner)

I added on:
-Sugar mini bronzer
-Pacifica liquid highlighter
-Oryza Rose Gold Lip topper

Boo. It won’t show me on Ipsy. It shows on FB where I posted it but it only shows 5 things, with the extra brush being 1 of the 5.

I’m getting Kiss & Smink the Everything in Talum, The Ciate London glitter liquid lipstick, Steve Laurant Beauty loose pigment in Rose Gold, Hey Honey propalis and honey soothing cream, Laritzy Dew Pot in Fine and, of course, the F.A.R.A.H. brush. Lots of rosy colors this month. Love it!

Almost the exact same as Liz, except instead of the First Aid Beauty Im getting the Catrice shadow, and I added on the Maneater mascara since its my favorite mascara ever. Im really looking forward to this month, my bag is much better than November’s was, but Im a bit bummed over not getting the rose gold loose pigment

This is the third month in a row they’ve sent me nail polish. I didn’t choose it in my beauty preferences and in the reviews I checked the box not for me. I’ve already opted out of lipstick and lip gloss (they’re always too dark for me) so I can’t opt out. What really makes me mad is there are so many other products they could send me. Products I’ve let them know I want.

I can’t see my glam bag, and I can’t get to the add-ons! Boo!!!!
