Ipsy April 2021 Subscription Box Review

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 now customize your bag and pick out one sample per month that will get to be in your bag which is a pretty nice change even though it came with a price increase.


So this month’s bag came really late but so did my Boxycharm and all my other mail in general so I don’t know what that’s about.

This bag is really cute this month. I love that it is made of canvas I like the abstract tropical leaves pattern.

Beau Gachis Large Shader Brush

Full Size: Yes

Full Size Cost: $17

This was almost my choice for the month but I chose the Sunday Riley Product instead. This is really soft and dense. This is really good for heavy concealer application for sure.

My Skinny Mask Turmeric & Vitamin C Clay Mask

Full Size: 2.3 oz

Full Size Cost: $39.99

Sample Size: 0.7 oz

Value: $12.17

I love Vitamin C so that is great and I will totally use this but like what the hell is that price $40 bucks for 2 oz like hell no that is absurd.

Sunday Riley A+ High Dose Retinoid Serum

Full Size: 30 ml

Full Size Cost: $85

Sample Size: 5 ml

Value: $14.17

This was my choice. If there is a retinol or a Sunday Riley option in my choices I am always going to choose it. I love really strong retionols because you can totally see the difference in your skin.

Feel 4D Hyaluronic Acid Under Eye Cream

Full Size: 30 ml

Full Size Cost: $45

Sample Size: 5 ml

Value: $7.50

I love hyaluronic acid for hydration it it so light but so hydrating that this is going to be a great eye cream maybe even a day eyecream.

Kokie Crystal Fusion Liquid Eyeshadow in Polaris

Full Size: 5 ml

Full Size Cost: $5.99

Sample Size: 5 ml

Value: $5.99

I thought Kokie wasn’t being sold anymore but apparently you can get it at Rite Aid which I also thought had gone out of business super weird. This is really pretty but it is pretty patchy compared to my Stila ones that I am comparing it too. This is like a pinky but with rainbow glitters in it. I don’t know I’ll get on with it but I will give it a try. I was on the fence about even doing that but it was so sparkly I had to open it.


Alot of skincare this month but that is good I think I am liking the make up Ipsy sends less and less every month.
