Super late post! I attended the Genbeauty Los Angeles last January 2018. Honestly, I wasn't really up to writing anything about this year's Genbeauty because I was pretty bitter about the disappointing outcome of the event.



The venue this year was bigger (and for sure better) compared to the previous years because it was held in a much sturdier and comfortable LA Convention Center (compared to LA Live tent). What made me bitter is the bag that comes with the ticket. It was a poor sized bag compared to the past bags that Genbeauty gave out to the attendees. The contents were not spectacular either.


The haul was not that great too. A lot of the brands were only giving out teeny tiny samples in exchange of a million and one social media requirements. Keep in mind that you line up for at least 30 minutes then you get a measly sample after following the brand and posting a selfie. Yup, not good.


Some brands like Luxie, Pixi, IBY and Pop Beauty did not disappoint. The lines moved fast and the gifts were generous!

Anyway, I am just putting it this way: I did not lose money - with the amount of ticket I purchased, I got at least the full value (and a bit more I guess) with all the products from the goodie bag and haul. It is not a big win but at least I did not lose.

Here are the contents of the goodie bag that comes with the ticket:


Here are the pictures of my haul for reference.

IPSY is a $10 monthly subscription box of beauty products. 


Each box (or pink package) contains a make-up pouch that is designed according to the monthly box theme. The bag contains a combination of 4-5 sample and full size products.This subscription box is the best way to try and test different make-up brands without breaking the bank. This is also a cheap way to build your make up arsenal. :)

Ipsy ships to US and Canada.

This month's theme is Carpe p.m.


Here is this month's make up bag:

I love this bag!It looks so festive and very fitting for the holidays.  It can also double as a clutch. Good job Ipsy!

Here are the goodies:


Blah. All the items in my glam bag are repeat products. Nothing new. It is weird because I ALWAYS review each and every single glam bag that they send me. I honestly do not think they pay attention to it! anyway, I am just glad to receive good stuff - at least.

Here is a closer look:

tarte cosmetics
deluxe maracuja oil 

 

City Color Cosmetics
Be Matte Blush in Fresh Melon, Blackberry, and Guava 

 

OUAI
Wave Spray 

 

OFRA Cosmetics
Bliss Eyeshadow/Highlighter 

Cake Beauty
heavy cream intensive hand repair balm

Finally, a little bonus:

LadyKin Affinitic Snail Cream (MINI)

I claimed this cute moisturizer using the points I acquired from reviewing each products in the glam bags.  Remember that you can get up to 85 points each month from reviewing your bags! 
Not bad, eh?!

Here are the items in the bag: 


This month's make up bag is really cute.  I love the astro design  - kinda blends in with the Supermoon that we had earlier this week. I also noticed that this bag is padded.

 Here is a closer look of the goodies: 



Doucce
Freematic Blush in #49 Zen Orange

Buildable and blendable. 
Soft, silky powder glides on evenly every time
Goes the distance. Oil-free formula won’t fade or smudge.
 
 
 

ModelCo
INSTANT BROWS Brow Pencil in Light/Medium or Medium/Dark

Get the right fit. Soft brown color suits blondes and brunettes.
Double sided. Built-in grooming brush makes blending and shaping simple.
Serious staying power. Long-wearing formula helps brows remain in place.
 
I received the Light/Medium shade - which is definitely not my color. Although not my shade, I still tried it on for the purpose of testing and I find it really good. It applies and blends easily. Definitely a must buy item for me!
 

Luxie Beauty
Luxie Rose Gold Small Duo Fiber Brush 524T

Double down. Duo fibers give us greater control over how we apply.Lighten up. Synthetic white fibers on the end of the brush lay down pigments more gently than a denser brush would (which means zero risk of overdoing it). Works well with powders, creams and liquids. 
 
Receiving a brush from a subscription service is my BINGO! item. I am ALWAYS happy to get a good quality brush. Now, this month is a winner for me. I love Luxie.  The quality of their brushes are amazing! It is so soft to the touch and it works really well. 
 

 


theBalm Cosmetics
Mad Lash® Mascara

Curved brush gives uber volume and lift.
The tip of the wand is ideally designed to get at even the tiniest of lashes.
Into the deep. Rich black shade brings out our dramatic side. 

 

 


pūr~lisse
Blue Lotus Balancing Moisturizer

Greek to us. The anti-inflammatory properties of the Blue Lotus date back to Ancient Greece and Homer’s Lotus Eaters (who lived off of the tranquil plants).  
White tea and vitamin E help prevent fine lines and wrinkles.
Absorbs and hydrates quickly, so we look dewy in an instant.
