Ipsy Bag

Cost: $12 monthly, $132 annual

Cycle: Every Month

What is it: Every month Ipsy sends out a cute makeup bag of samples and full size items. You can review your bag for points that you can trade in for reward items. The rewards change often and the range between 300 points and 1000 points. You can get around 95 points every month.

If you want to subscribe you can subscribe HERE and skip the waitlist. That is my referral link so I do get points to spend but I’m not an affiliate I don’t make any money or anything it’s just the same link any subscriber would get.

You can choose one item in your bag every month which I really like. I will say the quality of the actual bag every month isn’t as consistent or as good as they have been in years past.

This is a cute springy bag I like the little daisy zipper pull.

Glow Recipe Watermelon Glow Niacinamide Dew Drops

Full Size: 40 ml

Full Size Cost: $34

Sample Size: 5 ml

Value: $4.25

I love this brand I have not had a bad experience with anything I have tried. I picked this for the month and I am happy I have a full size of this but you can never have to much nice skincare.

Maapilim Exfoliating Solution

Full Size: 4.2 oz

Full Size Cost: $63

Sample Size: 0.5 oz

Value: $7.50

I don’t really love toners they just feel like such an extra step. This is so wildly expensive and I can’t imagine that this is going to live up to the price exfoliating toners are not hard to come by so I could not imagine paying this much for a toner.

Dionis Goat Milk Body Lotion in White Jasmine & Shea

Full Size: 1 oz

Full Size Cost: $3.99

I don’t know that I will love this scent but I have wanted to try these lotions for awhile. Weirdly enough you can only get this scent in this size at cracker barrel now even though I know Ulta used to carry it. It is very thin for a hand cream. So well see how this goes for me I can see me decluttering this.

Context Nude Balm in Girl School

Full Size: 2.8 g

Full Size Cost: $20

I don’t like this at all the color is far to pink and the gloss balm thing while very trendy right now is not something I am a huge fan of. Swatched Below.

V. Kosmetik Lightweight Powder Blush in Natural Kiss

Full Size: ?

Full Size Cost: $23.74

Sample Size: 2.2 g

Value: $5?

This is such a pretty blush very neutral but also very peach and I am hyped to use it. I hate when brands especially small brands don’t state the full sizes on their website it feels shady or sloppy depending on the vibes from the brand. Swatched Below.

Well this felt better then last months bag at least.

Wow I really hate the bag this month its freaking crooked! I would have hated it anyway it isn’t my style but the crookedness is just a whole other level.

Commodity Paper Perfume Scent Space Personal

Full Size: 10 ml

Full Size Cost: $26

Sample Size: 5 ml

Value: $13

I have seen this brand advertised a bunch but this is my first experience with it. I don’t like this scent at all it is very strong and heavy and manly. But also scent space personal is supposed to be the lightest of the scents so I couldn’t imagine the stronger levels.

Half Caked In Bloom Powder Blush in Freshly Squeezed

Full Size: 3.8 g

Full Size Cost: $9

Sample Size: 1.8 g

Value: $4.26

This is super pretty and my choice for the month because I have another one of these blushes and I just love them. The are so pretty and super pigmented.

Sophia + Mabelle Small + Mighty Extreme Volume Mascara

Full Size: 7 g

Full Size Cost: $16

Sample Size: 7 g

Value: $16

I have far too many mascaras I rather pass this on new.

First Aid Beauty Hydrating Eye Cream

Full Size: 15 ml

Full Size Cost: $30

Sample Size: 3 ml

Value: $6

This is the tiniest eye cream ever I am probably going to chuck it into my travel stuff because it is so itty bitty. I am pretty blase about First Aid Beauty it just doesn’t excite me.

Hipdot Shading Brush

Full Size: Yes

Full Size Cost: $14

This has a pretty decent weight to it but it is a bit dense for me liking.

Just not super impressed with this months bag.
