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 one beauty junkie to another.
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.
Another month another ugly bag. I am sorta interested in that new Ipsy option where you choose a few items and they choose a few items. I think it is like $25. It is something I am considering switching to.
Royal & Langnickel Moda Angled Blush Brush
Full Size: Yes
Value: $3.50
I love these brushes this might be my favorite brand of brushes or at least top three. This was my pick for the month. It is soft and dense, will be great for blush or even contour. I love the soft touch matte that it on the handle of these brushes plus they are so soft.
Glamglow Bright Eyes Illuminating Anti-Fatigue Eye Cream
Full Size: 15 ml
Full Size Cost: $39
Sample Size: 3 ml
Value: $7.80
This is a very thick eye cream. I don’t like eye creams that are just supposed to be anti-fatigue because that to me is a morning eye cream and I rarely put eye cream on in the morning. It is is a cute little jar though.
Briogeo Be Gentle Be Kind Avocado + Kiwi Mega Moisture Superfood Mask
Full Size: 240 ml
Full Size Cost: $36
Sample Size: 30 ml
Value: $4.50
I have never had good luck with this brand but moisture is sure something my hair needs desperately so I am game to give this a good and see what it can do for me.
IBY Beauty Lush Eyeshadow in In Bloom
Full Size: 20 shades x 1g
Full Size Cost: $25
Sample Size: 1.5 g
Value: $5
So this size and packaging sells for $5 but not all shades are available this shade is from the palette linked. like all IBY eyeshadows I have tried this has that smooth thick feel that is super nice and really lays on well. This is a metallic like shade that isn’t as opaque or easy pack on as their other formulas but is pretty metallic. The pink with the gold isn’t my color preference but objectively it is pretty. Swatched Below.
Pixi by Petra Endless Silky Eye Pen in Matte Mulberry
Full Size: 1.2 g
Full Size Cost: $12
Sample Size: 1.2 g
Value: $12
This is a really dark plumy shade that I have from quite a few brads but the Silky Eye pens are really smooth and soft even if I don’t think they are worth $12 dollars. Swatched Below.
I feel like Ipsy is just so random lately I really am missing a curated feel with my boxes. Or a wow factor of any kind.
