Yes! Or bright, cheap blue. 

So.. started watching the 'Follow Me to Work Day' video again that Michelle Phan had posted (what can I say? I'm way too excited and can't wait for the December bag!)...

I spy a new brand (at least new to me) - Pacifica (looks like their perfumes and hand creams)

I would be pretty happy to see them in our bags this month - their perfume scents sound yummy and it appears they are vegan and cruelty free as well 

 

 

I have the blood orange roller ball and I adore it so much. It's not overly fruity, it's almost warm. But I'm hoping we get whatever are in those black containers, that kinda make of think of blush. I so need blush!

Also, this looks like some of the colors we can expect to see of the NYX Loose Pearl Eyeshadows that are being sent out...

Hopefully we get that stila gloss! the color would be perfect for the holidays!!! and I have a feeling that we will probably get the UD sample next to the gloss . and the liners seem to come in different colors! hoping I get a brown!!! I also hope we get the rollerballs or lotions soon! they are amazing! love the blood orange An hopefully we get the nyx blushes too!

Maybe these 10 colors:

I think I'm probably one of the few Ipsy subscribers who doesnt want an Urban Decay eye pencil or NYX shimmery shadow.  Bold, shimmery, glittery makeup just isnt me.  My neice is going to be thrilled to get them though, and I'm glad everyone else here is happy to get them. 

I'm not complaining.  For 10.00, Ipsy is a great deal.  I knew when I joined Ipsy that a there were going to be products that just aren't my style, but I still really enjoy getting the bag every month.  It's still worth it to me even if there are only 1 or 2 or 3 products in the bag that I use.  I have used and like every product in the November bag, but I gave away most everything in the October bag (I kept the Couture Color hair oil and the mascara). For 10.00, Ipsy is still a great bargain!  And, just because I dont think I will like the products now, I might be pleasantly surprised when I recieve them.  Some of my HG products are products I have recieved from Birchbox that I was certain I was going to have no interest in until I tried them.  I talk about Orofluido Elixer a lot here.  It's a product that I will never, ever want to be without and I was sure I was going to hate it before I tried it, so one never knows...   Jouer Lip Enhancer is another of my HG products.  I had never even heard of Orofluido or Jouer until Birchbox introduced me to them. 

You girls should seriously all get detective jobs, lol

I would love to get the Pacifica in the Guava scent. It smells just like walking through the farmer's market in Kona to me. It's actually on my "to buy" list, so I'll be crossing my fingers.

Love how I was charged twice for this month. Didn't see that one coming.

But seriously, this is another duplicate product. So annoying, I got the black perversion liner in one bag, and I got a gold nix roll on shimmer in another bag. I am all for repeating brands, but the repeating products is a little annoying. (definitely no where near annoying enough to cancel, but if there is a pink lipgloss in this bag I will punch somebody.

i really hope there's argan oil in mine cause i tried a sample of it this summer and fell in love and ran out of it :(

Agreed. Having used both, I can vouch for the loose pearls being much more pigmented than the roll-ons, which in my opinion were pretty crappy. I've collected most if not all the loose pearls over time, and I also store them in the little jars that have been posted already (my photos below). The container that they come in weren't very practical, and there is a significant amount of product inside. Much more than the SALTY from a previous bag. I usually use them wet for more vibrancy. That said, I'm not all that excited about it since I'm pretty sure I already have the shade they're potentially sending, so mine will probably go up for trade.

 

 

This flat plastic case is how I hold mine. I got mine with the little containers at Walmart in the craft section. That way you can see the top and the names on the bottom with just a flip.

I said I had a few. After checking my stash, I have 9. I currently own:

Penny Pearl, Baby Blue, Silver

Turquoise, Walnut Pearl, Oro

Fanta, Lilac, Purple Pearl

Sorry about the bad pic, I took it quickly on the phone.

The smaller one is meant for jewelry beads and comes in an aluminum box. I purchased both separately from Joann's.

This was really funny, I played it again for my hubby to watch, he was like "why would I care about an unboxing spoof video?"  I was like, "trust me, honey, you'll like it."  

He likes Greek mythology and whatnot, and I'm really into religion and culture...and makeup, lol, so this was definitely a fun watch for us.

edit:  don't know how to remove the video from my reply...sorry.

October was my favorite month so far (also my birthday month yay!). The only thing I ended up not liking were the colors of the coastal scents eyeshadows I received. I found my absolute all time favorite lip product that month... the lip bombs are AMAZING! I've snatched one up in a trade so far and love it so much I probably would pay the outrageous full price of that item. I also picked up another of the eyeliners in a trade from that month.

It is an amazing deal!  I subscribe to a few of these sample services, and I love, love, love them, but I know not every product is going to be for me.  Some months are better than others for me, but I'm always happy to try new things.  I have freinds and family that are always happy to get what I wont use, so its a win anyway I look at it. 

This is my 3rd month with Ipsy, but I have been a Birchbox subscriber (X2!) for almost a year, and also get Sample Society, and this month I recieved a Glossybox.  I canceled my Glossybox sub after I recieved my box, as I just cant justify 21.00 a month on top of my other sample subscriptions on a regular basis, but its a good service and I'm enjoying my products.  I might sign up for another Glossybox or two in a couple of months.  I'm thinking of canceling Ipsy after this month too, but I do think its a fun subscription, and definatley a bargain at 10.00.  I will probably rejoin for a few months again at some point.  I love my Birchboxes and Sample Society and this month I'm also getting the QVC New Beauty Test Tube as there are several products in it that I want to try, a few full size items that look good to me, and no commitment.   I like that I can see what I'm getting before I order it.  Another thing I like about the sample services in general is that I can sign up for a few months, and then cancel when I tire of them or for whatever reason, and then rejoin for a few months at a later date. 

I'm ready for sneak peek # 3 now!  Thats one thing about Ipsy - we dont have to wait to see what we'll be getting.  I like that Ipsy shows us the products that will be in the bags ahead of time.  It gets me excited to recieve them.  I love my beauty subscriptions, but I'm not one for surprises.

I keep hoping/waiting for when they'll finally send out an email to non-subscribers showing the contents of the bag, but i know they won't do that until after they show all the sneak peeks, if i remember correctly.

Another sneak peak!

I have a serious love/hate relationship with this bag, I have signed up and cancelled about 4 times now.  This makes me want to sign up again :/

Also, are they trying to do a repeat of the December launch bag??

Its highlighter papier from Mai Couture. Here's the link: http://www.maicouture.com/highlighter-papier/
