More ColourPop!!!

I love Me My ColourPop & Ipsy!!!

So I was very surprised, in a great way, when I checked my mail this morning!!! Not only did I receive my latest ColourPop order, but I also received my Ipsy Glam Bag!!! I will be reviewing it first, as I was able to get the ColourPop Forever Freshman Shadow Collection with my Ipsy points (which I will explain below) and that is so exciting!!! We received the first snowfall of the year and of course I had to head to my Monday doctor appointment, lol. At least it was pleasantly warm. I love snow, but I dislike cold! I am talking -40 with the windchill cold! Living right on Lake Superior makes for a very chilly winter here! The Christmas decorations will be going up this week!!! Whenever it snows, I get more excited for the holiday season. I love a nice toasty home on a cold day, with a cup of Coco and doing some blogging. I have also been doing a lot of colouring, which I will post about soon!!!

So, let's get down to the goods, lol.

Ipsy Glam Bag ~ November 2015

So, Ipsy is a monthly beauty bag subscription. Every month you receive 5 sample/deluxe sample and sometimes full size items, plus a cute makeup bag (I am addicted to the bags, lol)! It is $14.95US a month, which is roughly $20CND. I break it down to $3.33 per item, I take the bag into consideration and see it as 6 items. I find out of all the beauty subscriptions I have, that Ipsy sends out the most makeup products, as opposed to skin/hair/body products. I have been a subscriber for quite a while now, but I am going to try my hardest to unsubscribe as I have plenty of makeup to keep me happy for a long while! What is also great is that I run a Facebook group that I can trade or buy items I may be interested in. I admit it will be hard to cancel, so we shall see what happens, lol. They also have a point system for varies sharing on social media and reviewing your items on their website. Last month I redeemed points to receive Colourpop's Forever Freshman Shadow Collection!!! Seriously insane!!! If you click here you will be directed to Ipsy's website, if you join through my link, I get 250 points! Then once you are a subscriber, you can do the same. It is one way to earn extra points! Ipsy has had some great point items lately!!! I wasn't overly excited over this month's items, but the bag itself is so awesome! I do love the Crown Crease Brush! I had totally forgotten I had added on the temporary tattoos for 100 points, no clue as to why, I am guessing because it was only 100 points, lol. My November Ipsy bag contained the following items:

Smashbox Full Exposure Mascara - Deluxe Sample Size

Crown Brush-Crease Brush - Full Size

Coolway Hairspray - Travel Size

Jelly Pong Pong Liquid Gossamer - Deluxe Sample Size

INSPR Beauty Eyeshadow in Carnival - I believe it is Full Size

Plus the makeup bag, which I just love this month!!!

Ipsy had an amazing point item, which is still available if you have 1500 points, and it is the ColourPop Forever Freshman Shadow Collection, which retails for $30US!!! Plus I added on the temporary tattoos for 100 points!

November Ipsy Glam Bag 2015 with point items, ColourPop Forever Freshman Shadow Collection and Metallic Temporary tattoos. I wanted to review the ColourPop Forever Freshman Collection, so here it comes.

I love the boxes that ColourPop has when you order a collection. They are all different and unique! Due to the amazing creaminess and velvet like feel to the shadows, it requires them to be stored in pots, which they tell you to always keep closed tight to keep the magic inside! So I don't think they will ever have a traditional palette. But that it what I love about ColourPop, they are not your average company! I still consider there four and six shadow sets, to be pallets!  

Top Row; Left-Right: Baby T (Matte), 90210 (Satin Luxe) and Koosh (Ultra Metallic)

Bottom Row; Left-Right: Melrose (Matte), As If (Matte) and Crimper (Pearlized)

I find this to be a great collection and a well put together colour scheme. I am in love with Melrose! It is such a pretty burnt orange/rust colour. As always, they are extremely pigmented, creamy and go on like magic. I tend to lean to the Matte colours the most, so I can see myself getting a lot of use out of Melrose and As If, as well as 90210. I compared Crimper to Fringe and they are so close in colour, just a note for anyone who loves the Crimper colour, but does not want the whole set. Baby T will probably get the least use, as I tend to lean away from blues of most sorts. But if I were to own a navy blue, this would be it, lol! Koosh is extremely pretty, being an Ultra Metallic is does really sparkle. This is a great set for fall. I will be reviewing the Mondays in Malibu Collection, I think it is my favourite collection for shadows to date! I have a picture with swatches, but my computer is being cranky atm, so I am going to post this and come back and edit in the photo of the collection swatched!!!
