Ipsy is a monthly subscription box for makeup products.
I was not given this box. All opinions are my own. Based off my preferences! :D
Cost: $10 per month
They ship to the U.S., and Canada
There is a wide variety of options for Ipsy bags. You take a quiz when you first sign up (this can be retaken as many times as you like). This effects what is in your bag each month. Each time you get a bag you have the option of reviewing the items you received. I've found that this is the best way to effect what you get in your bag each month. The more reviews you complete the more likely you are to like your bags.
This is one of my favorite Ipsy bags!
1. Albertini International Divine Skin Hydrator 1fl oz $1.78 (Full Size is 9fl oz for $16)
This is an in-shower body moisturizer meant for women over 40. I just turned 30 two weeks ago! lol. It is unscented. I think it is an interesting product. I have used it once and I had a good experience. It was unique. BEFORE toweling off rubbing in this stuff almost replaced the toweling off step. I might save the rest of this until November.... the dryer months.
This is a night cream. I wasn't too keen on getting TWO moisturizers in one bag considering I'm the oiliest person in CREATION. This is oil free plumper with collagen producing peptides though.. so I gave it a whirl and liked it. It is unscented. I normally break out when I use creams at night. Not so with this one. It didn't make my skin feel oily, no scent, and it has hyaluronic acid in it. I like this. I wish the full size wasn't so expensive!
A PEACH blush! I hope I can pull this color off. I really like it. I like this gel-cream formula.. it is super creamy and blends really well and easily with just my fingers. It is supposed to be hybrid gel technology that is easy like powder and natural like cream. I haven't tried this yet but... when I do I will post a picture to instagram! Hopefully, I don't look crazy!
Sample size of all natural lipstick. This doesn't smell...good. It smells like old lipstick. I didn't smell it once it was on my lips though. The color is SUPER bright pink which is a really pretty color. I think it is kind of late in Summer to be getting bright pink shades though.. I was expecting more nudes then berrys/darks in Autumn/Winter.
ALWAYS happy to get a lip liner but I have 12 in this nude shade. I never get another but this color in subscription boxes. It is a kind of unusual "nude" shade on me too. Dusty Orangish Brown..I hoped the PINK color would lighten it up but it just made it shiny. Hopefully some of my darks will work over top of this. It is super creamy though! I broke it twice and had to sharpen to use it which are GOOD cons to have.
Total spent for the bag: $10
Total bag is worth: $47.53
Total saved: $37.53
IPSYPOINTS:
This is one of the Klorane soothing eye patches that I received in my May Ipsy bag. I liked them so much that when this came up for 100 ipsy points I snatched it up! (Worth $3)
APRIL REVIEW
These are beautiful colors, blend well, and there isn't any fall out. Is it a mark against it though that I hate the quad? I don't use the colors together and I don't like reaching for it just for a single. Also...the sponge applicator is a waste of space...tossed it.
This color has to be the brightest lipstick I own! I like having it and using it by itself and with other products. The only con is that it is a slippery formula and without a liner it slides into the corners of my mouth.
Used the whole thing up and it didn't ONCE make my hair look NOT oily but it did add volume. I just wish it didn't SMELL so strong.
Haha.. um. Perfect tweezers!! No cons. Nice balance and weight to them. lol
This is hands down my favorite product out of last months bag. I use it nightly. I normally don't like coconut (or any scent but tropical in general) but it works. I love how OILY and moisturizing it feels right away. I will repurchase this product.
Thank you so much for following along!
