Dear Santa,
I would rather a lump of cole in my stocking this Christmas than another Be a Bombshell product.
Love,

Blerghhhhhhh on one hand I am sorry that my Ipsy review is so late, and on the other hand I'm not because this bag was a big pile of meh.
So let's start with the bag its self. Silvery glitter with hot pink trim. One of the prettier bags I have seen as of late, but still quite childish. On one hand I want to keep it and on the other hand I want ti give it to my 5 year old cousin for Christmas with her brand new Disney store Elsa crown. Decisions, decisions...
Look at the little zipper heart I made!
This bag included a knock off OCC Lip Tar by the always awful J Cat. This colour looks maroon but applies in the black honey family of shades (based on the classic Clinique shade). I have heard some pretty awful stories about girls getting awful reactions to the product, so to be honest I never even bothered to try it. I didn't even donate it to charity. Nope. Straight to the trash. Do I care what its worth? Nope. Remember that "eyeshadow" palette of body glitter from J Cat last year?
The Marc Anthony Oil of Morocco hairspray was a welcome surprise. I've seen it in store for about $7. Great size for travel! I actually used it last weekend when I popped up to Ottawa for a night. It has a oddly nice smell to it, and kept my hair in place! The clear winner of the bunch. I would actually purchase this again.
Back when I was in high school I seriously considered spending over $200 at Sephora to purchase a airbrush kit by Temptu. Well, I am so glad I saved my money because shortly there after they disappeared forever...until this tiny airbrush aluminizing pod arrived in my bag. That's right. They sent an airbrush pod which is full-size if you're a Barbie doll. What a silly inclusion. The formula is watery and annoying to use. I tried mixing it in with my foundation, but I think I did it wrong because I felt like a disco ball all day.
Look! Another Be a Bombshell product. This was actually the least awful make-up item in the bag. It is a pretty copper-gold cream shadow that can be applied as a nice wash on a low makeup day, or played up for a fancy night. It would probably even make for a good base. I actually like this product, but I am really not a fan of the brand.
The liquid eyeliner is gloopy. Black with large flecks of glitter. I think it is a Jesses Girl product? I wouldn't trust it near my eyeballs.
Swatches!
After another sucky Ipsy bag, I am calling it quits. I broke up with Ipsy (I will get one more bag in the mail!) and have already found my rebound: Birchbox! That's right-- now in Canada! I can't wait to get my first box later this month. Buh-bye Ipsy. ttyl xoxo
Ugggggghghghg my weakness! I thought I cancelled, but after a great chat with my girlfriends over dinner I decided to give it one more month.
