Dalton Doll 10 H2Glo Highlighter in Champagne – 4.5 g/0.15 oz. This lightweight, non-drying cream formula has natural pearl essence ingredients. It’s also travel-friendly with a complimentary mirror for on-the-go touch ups. It looks very natural and subtle so it would go great for layering.

IMG_4538Starlooks Lip Gloss – Guilty Pleasure – 0.3 oz. This lip gloss promises to be moisturizing and non-sticky. This neutral-rose shade is great for a natural, everyday look.

Indie Lee: Brightening Cleanser – 15 mL (left). Key ingredients include strawberry fruit extract and hydrolyzed wheat protein.  This cleanser promises to cleanse, hydrate, tighten and firm, and control blemishes. It has a light, refreshing strawberry aroma which smells so yummy.

Figs & Rouge: Hand Cream (Mango Mandarin) – 20 mL/0.67 oz (right). You can get either Mango Mandarin or Rose Berry scent. I got Mango Mandarin. This hand cream is really absorbent, but I already have a hand cream I am content with so I’ll be giving this away to future giveaways or to a friend.

TATTOOED Waterproof Eyeliner – 0.07 oz. This eyeliner lasts all day and the tip is great for a cat eye look.

Conclusion: October’s “Beauty Candy” Glam Bag is actually my first subscription from Ipsy, and it looks really cute. Since I already have other pouches, I’m thinking of using this pouch to hold my other essentials to keep my purse organized. For $10/month + free shipping, I’m pretty satisfied with what I received.

What did you receive in your Ipsy glam bag?
