Dangit guys. My bag came super timely this month, but I have been lagging on the updates.
Overall it was a nice bag and the bag itself is lovely. Idk what street style is supposed to mean. I thought street style is everyday wear, opposed to dress up. Maybe I am uncultured.

It first this brush just swept product around like a broom. What. Then I tried it using something other than a NYX shadow. It works beautiful with Urban Decay and Lorac Pro formulas and made foiling a breeze. It's soft and I absolutely love this! Great brush, even though it does not provide a ton of color build.

Cabernet. Fact: I hate most wine. I absolutely loved the Spumante Andrew and I were given at the resort for our honeymoon, and I have had done good ones in past. But generally, no.
Another fact is berry lipsticks look horrible on me. Every lip color I have worn these past few months has been favorable, with a few exceptions like "that one looks good layered; not today for that one." Berry lipstick was welcomed with "ugh".
This on the other hand is wiine! It's somehow different enough to have gotten a positive response from the man, and I have already wore this out a handful of times.
Swatched, it looks sheer. In reality it applies to lips nicely and gets full color with minimal layering. Texture wise, it's not drying or moisturizing and it does lack the high end smell I notice to my favorite lipsticks. It's almost a non intrusive powder smell.

Weight: 1.5g/ 0.053 oz

Slight backstory, but I got the purple shade. The color choice is interesting to me because ten years ago, I built this story character named Adrian. He was arrogant and because Marilyn Manson reasons he would wear purple eyeshadow. Adrian has since evolved into a still arrogant being, but is more of a character than just a projection of my music taste.
So my Adrian purple unfortunately does not differ from the other purples I have, like UD's tornado. Additionally NYX eyeshadows are not always pigmented as well. This one is fair with layering, and has a lovely monochromatic shimmer. It's a deep eggplant with orchid flecks. That is a touch different.
On my eyes it does take a bit of building, but it registers as a halloween purple. It also is much tougher to blend than Lorac or Bare Minerals. It got muddy fast when used just as a crease color. I do like it and I think it's unique to my collection, but as a single I do not know how much I will reach for it.
Pacifica
Natural Water-Proof Eye pencil in Fringe
Full size here $11

0.026 oz/ 0.10 oz
$2.86/ 11
My color happened to be Fringe, the brown. It's boring, but I do not even own a brown liner. This pencil is fairly soft, tugging only slight. I have not found it to smudge, but I also have yet to photograph it on my eyes.
This is a very decent eyeliner. So far I like it, but I rarely go natural with my eyes. Even nuetrals (which is most of what I am wearing lately) have black in them somewhere.
Briogeo

Full size here for $26

1.0 fl oz/ 5.25 oz
$4.95/ 26
Hair products always bore me. Styling hair is just not something I care to make time for. Whenever I do, it just frustrates me and I give up after my hair is half teased, half curled and on hundred percent blah.
Something like this is okay. Especially after dying my hair, I love to deep condition. Given my hairs textures, this will give me likely two or three uses.
On that note, I will not test this yet. Too lazy to dye my hair.
Total Bag Value $32.30/ 10
I am satisfied with this bag. The liner, brush, and lipstick have seen some great usuage.
