December Ipsy Glam Bag Review

So this will be 4th Ipsy Bag and I must say I'm still really enjoying them!

First up in this month's bag is... Beauty Without Cruelty A.H.A 3% Facial Cleanser
This product is Vegan/ Vegetarian, and has never been tested on animals. It's a soap free cleanser great for daily use because it doesn't over-clean your skin.
The product was really thick, I had to squirt a whole bunch in my hand because it didn't really stretch my whole face! However I absolutely loved this product! I used it to wash my face before bed, and the ultimate test came when I woke up, since it stated it wouldn't over wash my face I didn't put any moisturizer on before bed to see if my face would have to over compensate, but when I woke up my face felt just as fresh as when I went to bed! I feel like it's going to be expensive but it's a quality cleanser so that makes it worth it!

Next is... Coolway Boost Repair Treatment
This stuff in intended to reverse the damage caused by harsh chemicals and heat. I personally don't use a heavy amount of product in my hair nor do I bother to straighten/ blow dry very often so my hair is in fairly good shape! I did still obviously run this stuff through my hair, it needs to stay in for 4 minutes to be effective. After I rinsed it out my hair definitely felt very soft!

NYX Cosmetics Butter Lip Balm was the next thing I pulled out of my bag..


I got the marshmallow flavour! Although it was more like a caramel taste to it... Maybe they intended it to be roasted marshmallow? I dunno...
It's definitely a nice soft balm... The nude colour is a little boring for me but it'll be nice in the winter months when I need a hint of moisturizer.

So this one I'm excited to talk about...
Fairy Dust by Pixi by Petra
So this is it's description... "Elevate & transform your eye in a few fairy seconds with this glimmering dust. Loose pigments add a lit-up high shine finish to lids, reminding you what wishes are truly made of!" 
This stuff... Is weird... Everything about it is weird. The applicator brush is like a stiff Q-tip that doesn't distribute the powder evenly. The "dust" I guess I should be calling it is a weird consistency and even when I tried to use a blending brush to even it out a bit it was still stubborn, and the colour ... Just confuses me.
I didn't enjoy this at all... My wish was not granted. I was very disappointed.

Now last but certainly not least... 
Tarte Deluxe Lights, Camera Lashes 4-in-1 Mascara
They call it a push-up bra for your lashes! It increases your lashes by 330%... And I have to say they got it bang on! My lashes have never looked so good! The only complaint I have over this product was the fact that the sample was literally one time use... It was so tiny!! However I do think for the first time since I got my subscription I will take advantage of the ipsy promotion and get myself a full version of the mascara!
Overall this bag was awesome! ... Except the pixie dust.. That was terrible, but I still plan to continue the subscription!
