How’s everyone doing today? I hope you’re having a great time.
In this post, I will be sharing my Ipsy Glam Bag – December edition.
I really wanted to share this post immediately as soon as I opened my bag. However, I had to wait until I’ve tried them on to be able share a quick review during this post.
Jersey Shore Cosmetics Peppermint Moisture Rich Hydrating Balm – I really like this lip balm a lot. This smells amazing (peppermint of-course), very hydrating and it feels super refreshing on the lips.
(Fun fact: I used to love the Jersey Shore Cosmetics Vanilla Bean Anti-aging Lip & Hand Polish)
Mint Pear Beauty Blending Sponge – I am very curious if the company or companies that tries to sell makeup/blending sponges have tested the Beauty Blender… Why?? because this Mint Pear Beauty Blending Sponge is (I’m sorry) very disappointing! To be honest, I don’t read other people’s review prior to me sharing mine to give my own thoughts about the products so I apologize to those who claimed that they love this blending sponge because this thing is horrible.. Instead of blending your foundation or concealer, this sponge helps you remove your foundation or makeup even more. This sponge is hard, smells (ugghhh) “rubbery” or funky. Bottomline, waste!
OFRA Cosmetics Bliss Eyeshadow/Highlighter– Finally! I got one from OFRA Cosmetics.. I have been hoping to receive one from this brand for so long as I’ve heard so many great things about this product. And yes, this Bliss Eyeshadow/Highlighter is amazing! It’s very pigmented, super smooth and creamy and really easy to blend too. You can use this wet or dry as well. I really like this as an eyeshadow more than a highlighter and it’s definitely something that I’ve worn several times last month.
City Color Cosmetics Be Matte Blush in Fresh Melon, Blackberry, and Guava – This brand is for sure not a stranger to me. Infact I have a few blushes from City Color Cosmetics and I LOVE them all. Now, I have this blush trio palette that I can carry with me all the time and I know I will be reaching loads going forward. These shades are all gorgeous, very wearable, highly pigmented, not powdery and blends really nicely.

tarte cosmetics deluxe maracuja oil – Clap-Clap!!! this infamous maracuja oil has been on my radar for quite awhile and I’m so glad to have received a sample of this oil. I like that it’s not greasy or tacky when applied on the skin. I even applied it on my face and it didn’t break me out. I also like the dropper because this helps me control the product that I want to use and I mix a drop of this maracuja oil to my Milani foundation too to liquify it a little bit and it blends beautifully. This oil has a slight scent but unnoticeable which is great. All in all, this maracuja oil is amazing!
And how about the bag? hhmmm… it’s really cute! perfect for the Holiday season but it’s nothing that I go crazy about. I am not a fan of the sling as it makes the glam bag look “cheap”. But hey! for $10.00 per month, I’ll take it. 🙂
ohh… wait… I thought you’d want to see another BTS?
I’m sure if he can see this pic then he’s going to hate me a lot! LOL

And that’s it!
Lovely products, haven’t tried any of those yet but I’m looking to try ofra cosmetics!

Oh too bad about that sponge! I hate it when they REMOVE your makeup instead of blend – ugh.
The Ofra eye shadow / highlighter looks super useful!
I’m going to bust open my sample of the Tarte maracuja oil soon… I’ve not heard a single person who dislikes it!
Hehe, he’s not impressed with your pictures! 😛

Nah, I own their Barely Exposed eyeshadow palette, and at first I loved it, but now that I’ve tried other brands of eyeshadow, I almost don’t like it as much but the pigment is decent.

Maybe that palette just sucks a little bit I’ve also tried one of their lipsticks and I love how pigmented and creamy it is 🙂
I do like how affordable this brand is as well 🙂
