December 2013 Ipsy Bag Review~ (And New Hair Color!)

Heyy pretty gals~
My Ipsy bag came in the mail today! Was a nice start to the week~
The bag this month is pretty c:
I'm not going to get into a huge review of each and every item because I think it's unnecessary, however I'll give a quick description of each thing, as well as my opinion. Let's start!

Blush/Eye color/Lip color
Unfortunately, this was my least favorite product of the bunch. Which is a shame :/
The color is way too vivid to use as a blush (only one short swipe of it left a huge amount of color, making it look very artificial), and though I haven't tried it on my lips yet, it looks too glittery and dry to be comfortable. Which is a shame.
Be A Bombshell 'The One Stick' in flustered ($16)
NYX Extra Creamy Round Lipstick in Miracle ($4)
The other lip product was NYX's Extra Creamy Round Lipstick in Miracle, which they describe to be a blue-toned pink with gold shimmer. This is actually a decent lipstick (affordable too), though the color sadly isn't for me. I might consider repurchasing this later on though, in some other shade (since this doesn't suit me all that well.) It does apply nicely though.

Eyeshadow
Pop Beauty Eyeshadow Trio in 'Smokin' Hot' (Approx. $8)
This set of three eye-shadows is part of a larger palette of 10. There were actually two different trio's available, so I was disappointed to get this one since silver isn't exactly my color, but oh well. The pigmentation is decent, but since I wasn't very thrilled about the colors, I can't say I love this much.

Lashes
Andrea Modlash Strip Lashes in No. 33 ($4)
They're lashes. What's they're to stay about them. Not particularly natural looking, but I don't wear false lashes anyways, so, their natural-ness is irrelevant. They do look not too bad though.

Nail Polish
Starilly Nail Polish In 'Bzzz Bzzz' ($5)
I thought I would strongly dislike this, however it actually looks pretty cute. Glitter is a pain to get off, but that's ok x3 I like the nail polish (it is a miniature sized bottle however, so it doesn't contain all that much product)
1 layer of the polish. Glittery!
This has been a shortish post. But I don't really have all that much to say about these products so... ta-ta!
Here's a pic of me wearing all the products included in this month's Ipsy Bag~
Also... I dyed my hair! For the winter I decided to go for something more winter-y, so I chose a pretty chocolate brown color. It doesn't show all that well in this photo, but you'll see later on. Hope you guys like it ^.^
Bye~
