My October Look Bag was cool. (I should've reviewed that one! It had a black crackle nail polish!) In November, I got a vague email stating that because of Hurricane Sandy, the bags would be arriving late. And then at the very end of December, I got another email suggesting that I tell my friends about how awesome The Look Bag was; I wrote back and said it'd be even more awesome if I got my November and December bags! (A lot of folks around the internet seem to be rather pissed with the Look Bag's lack of customer service, but I can't fault someone for screwing up in the wake of a ruinous hurricane.)
Anyway... That's my little explanation for why the Look Bag review for November is happening in January. (I'll do December's later.) Now, onto the review!
This month's package came in a pretty pink bag (just like last month's), and contained the following:
1. Sally Hansen La Cross round tweezers. My first thought when I saw the tweezers was "WTF??" I guess they're useful and all, but it seemed like a real waste of bag space, not to mention the fact that most beautyphiles already have as many tweezers as they probably need. I'll put these in my "treasure trove" for now.
2. Pixi by Petra Lip & Line in "Petal Pink." I got one of these in October as well, so it was disappointing to see another one. It was in a different color, though, and my last one was given to Dax 'cause she thought it was cool. So I guess this one is for meeeee! It's a lip liner and lipstick 2-in-1 that's the exact same shade, so no need to look for matching shades. The concept is cool. I haven't tried it yet, but am looking forward to seeing how it does.
3. June Jacobs Spa Collection Green Tea & Cucumber Body Bar. This looks like a creamy, smooth bar of soap that smells so amazing! June Jacobs stuff is kind of fancy-schmancy. I may be stingy on myself and gift this to someone I like, 'cause it's so awesome.
4. "Lola" by Marc Jacobs sample. Are Marc Jacobs and June Jacobs related? I have no idea! This sample came in a convenient little spray. I've heard of "Lola" before, but never smelled it. Tried a bit on my neck, and A Boy I Like said it was "very nice," which is high praise indeed! Another comment: "It's there, but not in your face. Smells very sweet and flowery." That's probably some of the nicest things I've heard about my scent choices. I am wearing my "Lola" sample today, and I am enjoying it. Probably won't purchase more, since there are a lot of other scents on my stuff-to-get list once I've used up what I currently have.
5. Pop Beauty "Eye Magnet Shade" shadow in "Tantalizing Teal." Nice full-sized item! I've got my Pop Beauty crackle nail polish from October, and I adore that. The eyeshadow looks interesting, but I'm not a blue-based eyeshadow person. So it'll go into my Treasure Trove and my nieces will probably love it. :)
6. Korres Liquid Lipstick in "Raspberry." It doesn't smell like a raspberry, and I think it looks more like a cherry. The color is dense and lovely, with some sparkles to jazz things up a bit. I think we have a winner!
7. Scarlett & Greene "Young Skin" sampler pack. I don't have young skin -- haven't in years. ;) The pack features three sample products, including a cleanser, moisturizer, and spf creme. I think this would be fun to try if you're part of their target audience, and the packaging is like a cute little booklet. I'll put this in the Treasure Trove.
