First of all, if you've never heard of IPSY, it's a monthly beauty sample subscription that's $10. But the thing I love about IPSY is that most of the time, they aren't giving just samples, but a few full sized products in every bag! Totally worth the $10 IMO.There's been a lot of speculation in the blogosphere as to what's in this month's bag, and everyone pretty much got all the clues right, so it wasn't too much of a surprise to me. Anyway...without further ado, here it is!
There are 4 full sized products in this one and I love the blue patterned makeup bag this month!
First is NYX's Single Eyeshadow (Full Size- Worth $4.50). I got one in Morocco, which is a beautiful dark violet.
Next, is Cailyn's Tinted Lip Balm (full size- worth $19). I had never heard of this brand before, and I love the packaging! Even though this is a balm, it packs a serious pigmentation punch! It's created with something called 3D Smart Film, which allows the pigments to stay put all day without smudging or needing to be retouched. I swatched this on my hand, and it didn't even come off when I washed my hands! The only thing I'm disappointed about was the color they gave me (Big Apple) as I'm not a fan of red lip products. But I'm seriously considering shelling out $19 for a lighter shade, since this product is awesome!
Next is Elizabeth Mott's It's So Big Mascara (sample size). This is another brand I had never heard of, but I will do a review on this and add it to the Wall of Mascara so you can see the results. Even though this is a sample size, it's still pretty big, and I can't wait to try it! The full size retails for $19.99
Next is Victoria Jackson's Eyebrow Pencil in Taupe (Full Size- Worth $14.95). The color is perfect for me, thanks to IPSY's beauty quiz. This pencil seems creamy and easy to use, with a built-in sharpener.
Next is StarLooks Kohl Eye Pencil (Full Size- Worth $12). I got mine in Obsidian, which is a matte black. This pencil had some great glide, and smudged nicely when I swatched it on my hand. I can always use a black eye pencil, since that's what I use most of the time, so this was a nice addition to the bag.
Finally, I got a card with some samples of Michelle Phan's new line em.
All told, this month's Glam Bag, "Classic Beauty" was a huge hit for me, and the products add up to a value of about $60, which is why I love IPSY so much! You really get a lot for your $10 a month.
What did you get in your Glam bag this month? Was it the same as mine, or did you get different products?

I got a few different items in mine. I got Freeman paper masks and John Frieda Full Repair samples. I love IPSY too- it's the best sample site!
