This month's theme was "Beauty Schooled" which is fun a fun way to celebrate back to school (without actually having to go to school).  This month's bag looks like a pencil bag, which is super cute a great for throwing in your bag or backpack.

 

The first item in my bag was the star this month, both because I love urban decay and because I love New product launches. Plus the packaging is cool and sophisticated.


The nest product was a Mongolia lip balm from Jersey Shore Sun. I love the citrus scent and it's very moisturizing.


Next up is Dr. BRANDT pores no more primer.  I really like this primer; it has a nice consistency and doesn't feel too slick like some proletarian.  Plus the sample is a pretty decent size.

The next two products were just ok for me-nothing very special.  First is an eyeshadow from flying solo in a super basic nude shade. Meh.


The last item was a dry shampoo from Klorane.  This was meh for me because I really don't use dry shampoo when I wear my hair naturally curly.  Maybe if I decide to go straight again and start using heat on my hair I'll get some use out of this.

All in all I really liked this month's bag.  Even though I didn't like 2 of the products, the other 3 made up for it in my book!  Thanks for reading and stay gorgeous.

XOXO
Gina
