Here is a sneak peek of the bag and the eye liner.
NYX Loose Pearl Eye Shadow
Anya's Ipsy/MyGlam November 2012
This post has taken so long because my camera battery died. And then once it was charged I never got a photo of this bag. I know, excuses excuses. Above is the image from Ipsy's site. I did NOT get the mascara. They sent the brow gel instead.
Anyhow, here's my review:
- Starlet Intense Eyeliner
- A full eyeliner pencil came in this box. Shade is "chocolate". It's closer to reddish brown than any chocolate I've come across. That would be a sweet shade...for just about anything other than eyeliner. It ends up getting lost in every shadow combination I've tried. I'm also not a fan of pencils because I suck at sharpening them.
- Nailtini Nail Lacquer in Millionaire
- I was excited for this one because it was a full bottle of polish. But then I recalled I'm not a fan of glitters. This is like confetti in a bottle. If that sounds good to you, then by all means, grab some. (Check out picture below)
- bareMinerals Marvelous Moxie Lipgloss
- The color isn't too bad. The size was sweet. It might not be a full stick but it's definitely not a puny sample. Consistency ok. It doesn't last any longer on my lips than any of my other lipgloss (basically its gone after sipping any drink). It has a cool, tingly feel after a few seconds. I'm not sure why but its not uncomfortable, it's just a little strange.
- Chella Defining Eyebrow Gel
- This has a slightly chemical odor to it kind of like nail polish or remover. It comes in a smallish tube with a wire brush very similar to mascara. I assume I'm supposed to whisk it along my brow. So I did. The scent fades as it dries. But as far as I can tell this does absolutely nothing for me. To be fair, I don't have a whole lot of brow to gel.
- theBalm Meet Matt(e) eyeshadow palette in Matt Batali
- Have yet to try this one. It's a bit dark. I haven't been that brave.

Anya's November Birchbox
So here's a picture of the stuff in my Birchbox this month...sans the potato chip chocolate.
- Miracle Skin Transformer™ Vanish Instant Imperfection Corrector
- I didn't notice this doing anything useful at all. It wasn't good as a primer it wasn't good as a concealer. It just wasn't good.
- Chuao Chocolatier Assorted ChocoPod
- This was yummy and unique but I'm not sure it would be worth the money to buy a whole set of them.
- Atelier Cologne Rose Anonyme Petite Cologne Absolue (in a tiny vial inside that white envelope)
- This has a nice woodsy floral scent. I can't figure out if its for a girl or guy but I do like it. It's one of my favorite perfume samples. I'm going to be sad when I run out because that price tag is a little high.
- Oscar Blandi Pronto Texture & Volume Spray Travel Size
- My first impression of this spray was that it had a strange sour scent. I have unruly wavy hair that has to be straightened with a straightening iron to look decent.
- I followed the directions, spraying my straightened hair from ends to roots as I lifted up. My hair flopped back down, every bit as flat as usual. If I fluffed it a bit, it would stay up for a little while. But it would do the same with a light hair spray too and probably stay that way better. While this product doesn't leave my hair feeling as sticky as a hair spray, I don't think it's worth the difference.
- stila all over shimmer liquid luminizer try-me-set
- I received the pale pink in my November box. My skin is fair but this stuff is difficult to see, even when gooped on. The subtle all-over sheen it mentions when mixed with fondation is what I get from using the product by itself. I have shimmery body lotions that have more coverage than this stuff.
Ciaté Velvet Manicure
I saw this set at Sephora when we visited Ohio last month. I couldn't bring myself to buy it then but when I got the e-mail about the IT KIT deal, this was at the top of my shopping cart.
I ordered the Blue Suede color. Here's what was in the box:
My first attempt wasn't terribly successful.
Here's my second attempt, about 16 hours after I did them:
As you can see, the edges have chipped. There are also a few worn spots where the polish is visible beneath.
This is a really neat effect but it doesn't last long.
We have some flocking at the house for hobby-type miniature landscaping. I might try this effect with that because it seems like it will be similar.
