Well, if the pandemic’s been good for something it certainly has given me the opportunity to experiment with some of the samples I’ve received in my Ipsy Glam Bag.

Today I wore the Maëlle Clearly Brilliant Tinted Lips in “Nectar”— which I say looks orange and the teenager says “it’s lip tint, Mom, it will look pink when you put it on. It will look good on you.”

I liked it. Not as thick and sticky and messy as lipstick and leaves a nice color on the lips.

The essenHERB tea tree foam cleanser was an add-on item I bought for $3. After a lesson in how to contour from the teenager, I went to show her how to use bronzer. Except I grabbed the highlighter and plastered that all over my face.

So that cleanser came in handy. I washed my face and didn’t think anything of it until I realized that my skin was abnormally soft.

The teenager touched my face and agreed.

I bought Sugar eyeliner for the teenager and she really likes the dainty pen and the ease of control. Again, a $3 add on.

The other lip gloss I also purchased because it looked like a really pretty purple-glittery color.

The highlighter powder went right into our unopened container for future use as I still don’t “get” how to use highlighter and I have one with my bronzer.

I bought a set from Ipsy last month.

The nail polish I tossed in my nail polish container. The lotion I gave to the teenager.
