I feel that this month the Look Bag kind made up for last month's product fiasco, almost everything I received was full sized. I had issues pricing some of these items like last time, leading me to discover that some of the items are either no longer available or hard to find. I believe that they receive their products from third party companies, which sucks but I can't do anything about it. I'm debating cancellation at this point, I'm not sure I want to keep receiving discontinued items if I can't find the full sizes of what I love. Despite my wandering thoughts, I was happy with what I received for the most part.
In my bag I received a sample of Lola by Marc Jacobs, an eyeshadow from POP Beauty, a pair of tweezers from Sally Hansen, a bar of soap from June Jacobs, a liquid lipstick from Korres, a sample pack of skincare products from Scarlett and Greene, and a mini glitter liner from Too Faced. I was very excited when I saw all this stuff, and the full sized products made me feel like I really got my money's worth!
Lola by Marc Jacobs ($22.00-$88.00)
I am in love with this perfume! Lola has a very soft peony scent that is amazing. I went nuts when I smelled this, it was gorgeous! It is light yet sophisticated, I wanted to tape my wrist to my face to keep smelling it!
POP Beauty Eyeshadow, Lavender Love ($14.00 on various sites)
This seems to be a discontinued item, but I love it all the same. It's a very light lavender with a hint of shimmer. It is highly pigmented, and glides on effortlessly to eyelids. There was a little fallout but nothing to really be concerned about. I love the color! It is very reminiscent of spring, but I think I will be wearing this for Christmas!
Sally Hansen La Cross Tweezers (price unknown)
I could not for the life of me find where to buy these tweezers, so these must be discontinued. These were interesting, I had never seen a pair of tweezers with a rounded tip, and I wasn't entirely sure what to use these for. So I used them for the regular stuff I'd use my normal tweezers for, and they worked surprisingly well. I actually didn't pinch myself as much either, it was a nice change of pace. I may be using these the wrong way, but they work for what I need them for.
June Jacobs Green Tea and Cucumber Body Bar (price unkown)
I think this was the one item in the bag I wasn't too thrilled about. This looks like one of those hotel soaps.
if you've seen Dr. Tran you'll know exactly who this is XD |
It smells nice, and cleanses okay. I felt like I had a little residue left on my skin so I had to rinse my skin more thoroughly a second time. My skin felt moisturized and soft afterwards. I could not find this specific bar on the brand website, but they have a line of other products with this scent.
Korres Liquid Lipstick 56, Vibrant Red ($22.00)
This is a really nice lipstick! The color glides on lips, and has a nice glossy finish. The red is so vibrant and creamy, I fell in love with it! It has a brush applicator, making it easy to apply. And it smells kind of like vanilla, which I thought was nice. They offer other colors, but for $22.00 I dunno if I'll be getting the others anytime soon. I'm so glad I got the full size in my bag!
Scarlett and Greene Skincare Sample Pack
Under Cover Natural Moisturizer ($21.95), Bare All Breakout Control Wash ($22.95), Come Clean Cleanser and Makeup Remover ($22.95)
Apparently this skin trio is for "young" skin, and I have no clue what age constitutes young skin. I'm 24, so I imagine I'd be in the bracket somewhere. Unless this is for teens, in which case screw it.
I used the cleanser/makeup remover, and it smelled gross. It reminded me of spoiled fruit. It cleanses okay, my skin felt kind of tight and dryer than before washing. So I figured to try the moisturizer. It has no smell, and it is thick. It doesn't really absorb well into the skin, it feels like a good amount of it stays on top of your skin, and it feels a little greasy. I didn't need the breakout control wash, since I have had no recent breakouts, but I haven't had a breakout in a long time. Overall I was unimpressed with this line of skincare, and I will not be looking into the full sizes.
Too Faced Starry Eyed Glitter Liner in Ooh and Aah ($15.75 for full size)

I may tough out this subscription to see what I get in December, if I really like my bag I will continue, but if not I'll have to say goodbye to TLB. I liked this bag, so there may still be hope yet. If you would like to try out the The Look Bag for yourself you can sign up here.
This review pretty much sums up the bag pretty well! I loved the dr tran reference! I love the little comic reliefs! and i havent tried the face stuff yet from the folded booklet. Not looking foward to the spoiled fruit smell. thanks for the heads up
