My Custom October ipsy Bag
My 9th ipsy Glam Bag
Ah, ipsy day, my favorite day of the month. This month wasn't necessarily my favorite, but hey! I'm still not complaining. For $10 a month, I love to see how much I'm saving! Plus I get to try new products that I never would have tried otherwise. This months bag came to a total worth of about $61.25, so it's obviously well worth it.
Cute little faux leather masquerade makeup bag
theBalm Take Home the Bronze sample size - half price $8.75
The pigment is beautiful, and it lasted quite a long while. Plus no orangey hue!
Oryza Lipstick in Lido - $22.50
This color is called Opus, but I couldn't find it on their website, so I chose another pretty one from them!
I love this lipstick! It doesn't need a liner or anything!
Soo Ae Donkey Milk Sleep Mask - $7.52
I'm not a big mask person, I try to be very careful because I have such sensitive skin, so I'll probably give these to a friend.
City Color Cosmetics Glow Pro Highlighter in Nebula - $9
I'm not sure how I feel on this one yet. It's really pretty, and the highlight is great, but it has a slightly blue hue. I'm not sure if it'll blend well to look less blue, but I'm gonna give it another go anyway.
Tarte Shape Tape Concealer travel size - half price $13.50
Everyone already knows how great this concealer is, it has an actual cult following, and I have to agree. It covered the (very dark) bags under my eyes with veryyy little product!
Grand total worth: $61.25
So overall, I'd give this months bag a solid 3.75/5. I have to be honest and say that it's not my favorite I've ever received, but honestly the shape tape concealer alone makes it worth it for me!

Current Daily Makeup & Skincare Routine
I get a lot of questions about how I clear up my skin. I've never suffered from bad acne (I've never broken out on my cheeks, knock on wood).
My favoriteeee face wash got discontinued by Neutrogena, so I stocked up on it while stores still had it. However, this is a very similar alternative.
The moisturizer I use every day is a TJ Maxx find that I've found several times. I stock up whenever they have it.
I wash my face with the face wash every night before bed, and when I wake up in the morning, I wash my face with a warm rag. I moisturize in the morning while I do my hair or before makeup. I take my makeup off as soon as I can, so if I know I'm not going out, it's as soon as I get home. Once a week or so I'll do a mask, I like to try to not overdo it and dry my skin out.
Face Wash: Neutrogena Rapid Clear Acne Cream Cleanser
Moisturizer: Dirty Works Miracle Cream Multi Tasker
Makeup Remover: Garnier SkinActive Micellar Cleansing Water
I by no means use all these products daily, typically I just do brows and mascara, but when I do a full face, these are my go to products.
Foundation: Benefits Hello Happy Soft Blur Foundation
Highlighter: NYX Illuminator
Setting Powder: Tarte Smooth Operator Amazonian Clay Finishing Powder
Brow Pencil: NYX Sculpt & Highlight Brow Contour
Brown Gel: Benefit Gimme Brow Volumizing Fiber Gel
Eyeliner: Eyeko Eye Do Liquid Eyeliner
Mascara: (FAVORITE) L'oreal Voluminous Million Lashes Waterproof Mascara
Mascara: Too Faced Better than Sex Mascara
I am an ipsy bag subscriber (join here) and I am in love with it. I get 5 new products and a makeup bag every month for $10. So I do switch up my routine and try new things, but these are all my tried-and-true products. This isn't a sponsored post, I just really love ipsy.
