Elizabeth Mott Tints & Sass Lip and Cheek Stain in Cherry
Even though this doesn't stay as long as I'd like it goes on a lot nicer than The Balm stain I have and for me that's pretty important. It also smells delicious, just like cherries!! I am quite pleased with this product and I even unexpectedly like how it look on my cheeks. While I do not think I would rebuy it because of the price I will definitely be using this often!

Model's Own Nail Polish in Red Sea
I was super excited about this nail polish but unfortunately it did not meet all my expectations. The good: it is a very pretty orangish, reddish, pinkish color and the flecks of holographicness add an interesting texture. Also even though it is a wash it can be built up to full opacity in about 3 coats. The bad: it doesn't last very long at all and chips within a day. The little holographic bits like to not lay flat and poke up slightly and catch on random things and get ripped off. I've found that I think I like this nail polish best used as a wash over another color. This way the crappy staying power is balanced out with another nail polish with a good staying time.

BareMinerals 5 in 1 BB Cream in Divine Wine
So this was a product I was a bit excited for until I realized what color it was. I seriously wish I'd have gotten the more nude one instead of this dark brown. Its so dark I just don't see myself ever wearing it. Here it is swatched full opacity and then again blended out.
I decided to give it a try anyway and threw on Revolt and Jilted from the Electric palette. The top eye is just the bb cream blended out. I think it makes my eyes look muddy and tired.. I usually prefer grays and blacks over browns. The eye shadow applied over it well and didn't crease for the night that I wore it. However once again it gives it an overall brown feel which just isn't my style. Overall this is a really great product it just unfortunately is not in a shade that I can work with. I would love to own this in the pink shade if the price wasn't so high. This will be going to one of my friends for sure.

Clear Clinic Laboratories Vanished Spot Treatment
I rather like this product. The sample size is nice and small so its great for travel and the doe foot applicator makes it easy to apply to specific spots. The smell is pretty strong but as long as it works that doesn't bother me too much. My favorite part? See that pimple on its way out? I just put the product on it a few seconds ago and the shininess is already gone! This means I can easily wear it under makeup. :)

Pur-lisse Protect Moisturizer
I am super pleased with this product. I've been using it every morning since Ive gotten it and my face has felt nice and moisturized. Plus I haven't had some sort of crazy bad reaction too it which is always nice. I also love the high spf and the anti aging benefits. The only thing I don't love about this product is that the flowery smell it has is perhaps a bit too strong. I could see myself buying this in the future.

Price: $50 for 1.7 oz ($16.17 for .5 oz)
Overall I'm happy with this bag. It had some winners, some duds, and some just so-so's. The total price of this bag was....whoa I'm adding in at $60! Usually they are about $40 but the $23 lip tint really pushed this one over the edge.
Also I redeemed my Ipsy points and will be getting a BareMinerals Lipstick in my next bag!! Yay!!
