Ipsy: January Glam Bag

Oh that's a little blurry. I did not notice until it was on here, that's probably the best you'll get from me on account of my shaky hands-neosis syndrome.
So I will start off by saying that I have unsubscribed from Ipsy and will be receiving a different subscription. Ipsy is a fun thing to get and it's cheap, but I want to try something different. I told myself when I started that I would give it two months and I gave it three. I would have liked Ipsy better if I was able to choose the products that I wanted. They show what products they are sending out for the month and I always found myself looking at it and saying,  "I wish I got that."
I love makeup and I always want to experiment, but I can't do that when they keep sending me lotions and colors that do not work with my skin tone. The last bag I received was pretty bad if the best item was facial lotion/mask (something I get in every bag.)
So I decided to try a subscription that I've been wanting to try for a long time. The only thing that held me back from getting it before was the price, but it's every three months and ten dollars more than getting ipsy for three months (sorry that's not true, it is if you have a ten dollars off coupon.) It also comes with more items and the value of the box is way more than I'm paying, so I think I'll give it a go. It is Fabfitfun and it comes with more items than just makeup which makes me excited. I like a little variety. I will be getting the welcome box, hopefully soon and let you guys know how it goes. Oh and another thing I like about Fabfitfun is that everyone gets the same thing except for a difference in color and design for some products. So I won't be wishing I had something else unless it has to do with color, but if I sign up for a year they'll let me pick what color I want where ipsy doesn't give that option. Disclaimer: everything here is my opinion and who knows maybe I won't like Fabfitfun, but I really hope I do.


Jelly Pong Pong Fairy Lashes Curl Mascara: I wrote about this in my January favorites. So you probably already know that this is the winner of the bag. That's another thing about ipsy is that this is the only product that I have incorporated into my makeup routine. Everything else I've used probably twice in the last three months. This mascara makes my lashes long and curled.

Tucker Ashley Eye Complex (not pictured): I think it's eye cream. It doesn't say what it does. It just says to apply under and around eye 1-2 times a day. I really have no use for it, so I gave it away (why it is not pictured.)

Promise Organic Argan Creme Facial Lotion: It smells like an orange roll. You know cinnamon rolls? Except they're orange? Ah here they are... Credit
They are quite delicious. Anyway I think it's a good smell and I don't mind putting that smell on my face (unlike the other lotion I received.) It seemed to work and made my face moisturized.

Mr. Write (Now) Eyeliner in Jac: I've only used this a little bit because I like my eyeliner darker, at least for my upper lashline. I used it on my lower lashline and it seemed to look okay. It's a gold brown color, but I think it's a little too light for me.

City Color Eyeshadow Trio in Falling Leaves: It seems like this would have been a good one to give out in the November bag or before that because of the autumn colors, but I still like it. They are nice colors and I have used them for a few different looks, They go on a little darker than they look, which I like a lot. I think this was my second favorite item in the bag.

Temptu Highlighter: I redeemed this product with points that I had earned on the site. It arrived with the liquid leaking into the cap, but at least it's not actually coming out of the cap while closed and making a mess everywhere. It's also a little dark for me, so I've only used it about twice.It doesn't say what color it is, so is this their only highlighter? A much better, prettier, and cheaper highlighter is elf's Shimmer Facial Whip in Lilac Petal.
