Hey Guys, Today I'm going to share my thoughts on my Ipsy Glam Bag X for February! For those of you unfamiliar with Ipsy Glam Bag, it is a monthly beauty subscription box. You receive 5 deluxe/sample sized products each month. The subscription is $13.00 a month and each month is a different theme. With Glam Bag you are able to choose one product that goes into your bag. They also offer an upgraded box every month called Ipsy Glam Bag Plus. This box is $28.00 a month and includes 5 full sized products. You are able to choose 3 of the products in your bag and Ipsy chooses 2 for you. Ipsy's picks are based of your beauty quiz/product reviews. They also offer a quarterly bag that replaces your Glam Bag and Glam Bag Plus called Glam Bag X. This box is $55.00 a quarter and includes 8 full sized products from higher end brands. Glam Bag X is usually curated by a special celebrity/influencer. With all subscriptions you also have the option to skip a month whenever you feel like it which is a huge bonus offering. I am currently subscribed to Ipsy Glam Bag Plus and Glam Bag X. The theme for this month is "Full Hearts". The celebrity that curated this month's Glam Bag X is Addison Rae. She chose a bunch of her favorite beauty products to feature in this box as well as some favorites from her personal beauty brand Item Beauty. Keep reading to see what I got in my bag this month! I will link all of the products in the description above each picture.

Hey Guys, Today I'm going to share my thoughts on some more Charlotte Tilbury products. I decided to try the K.I.S.S.I.N.G. Lipstick in the shade Penelope Pink since I loved how it looks on _WithSarah who is a fellow beauty influencer. I decided to purchase as a lip kit and get a lip liner to pair with it. Keep reading to hear my thoughts on each!
Here is what is said about this product on the Charlotte Tilbury site:
"Darlings, get this fail-safe recipe for perfect lips! My K.I.S.S.I.N.G Lipstick in Penelope Pink features ingredients for full-bodied, plumped-up lips. This nude beige lipstick has subtle pink undertones, making it the perfect everyday shade. WHAT MAKES K.I.S.S.I.N.G LIPSTICK MAGIC:
Perfect, full, kissable lips really do grow on trees!
The Lipstick Tree protects your lips from UV damage & oxidative stress to leave them soft, soothed & hydrated.
Light-diffusing pigments gives your lips a multi-dimensional finish to leave them look full-bodied and luminous.
The blend of waxes glides over your lips for a rich, buildable color.
Ideal for an everyday nude in a hydrating formula."
On to my thoughts:
While I loved how the lipstick looks on Sarah I do not love how it looks on me. She does pair Penelope Pink with a different lip liner Iconic Nude. I didn't love that combo on me and prefer it with the Love Trap shade that I purchased. The formula is much more satin/glossy and less opaque than the Matte Revolution lipstick formula. It apply more sheer and kind of patchy. I am also not in love with how the nude color looks on me. This just goes to show you that depending on your complexion, lip shape, etc makeup can look completely different on different people. I will say that this lipstick is definitely hydrating.
Here is what is said about this product on the Charlotte Tilbury site:
"Darlings, lip liner is every woman’s backstage, red carpet, secret weapon! My Lip Cheat Lip Liner in Love Trap is a ‘90s-inspired peachy-brown shade. This nourishing, velvety-rich formula is the key to creating fuller, wider, perfected lips. WHAT MAKES LIP CHEAT LIP LINER MAGIC:
Perfect your lip shape!
Smoothes over texture for a seamless line, so you can resize and reshape for a fuller pout.
Lasts up to 6 hours with no smudging*
Waterproof formula
Transfer resistant formula
Ideal for perfectly defined, colour-rich lips."
On to my thoughts:
I really like this lip liner and it is on par with the rest of the lip cheat liners that I own. The color is a really nice warm brown nude shade on me.
Overall, I do not like the K.I.S.S.I.N.G. Lipstick in Penelope Pink enough to justify the price that I paid. If I got it at Sephora I probably would have returned it but it was too much of a hassle to return directly to Charlotte Tilbury. I prefer the Matte Revolution formula way more and wish that I got a nude shade in that instead. I do recommend the lip cheat liner in Love Trap and think its a nice basic neutral shade.
