Thoughts on Bag: I loved almost everything in this bag!! I love the color of the lip balm. Some stated it was drying to the lips, but I wore it over a chapstick. The mascara is awesome!! Makes my lashes look so long!! The eyeliner is ok.. I'm not a big fan of pencil liners, with the exception of UD 24/7 Liners. The nyx shadow was wah wah wah.. lol It was a sheer silver and had to keep patting it over NYX Milk to get it a opaque coverage on my eye. It also creased really fast and I wore this over UDPP.

Brow Pencil, Eye Pencil, Mascara, Lip Balm



I'm wearing everything in this month's bag along with a nyx black pearl pigment i got in another glam bag.

Paired with Big Apple. :)

Thoughts on Bag: I love my UD Lipstick Sample!! Such a pretty red. I hear the michael todd pumpkin mask is awesome, so can't wait to try it out. I love trying out new mascara, and will try this one out once i finish my mascara im using. I don't really see myself using the micabeauty bronze shade so I will probably give that to a friend. I also thought the np color was one of the ugliest colors i've ever seen. I'm not into tomato color.. Overall this was a good mix of products. Im happy with what I got!!
