Ipsy December 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 choose one item in your bag every month which I really like. I lwill say the quality of the actual bag every month isn’t as consistent or as good as they haf been in years past. 4


Well the year is pretty much over and this was the last bag of the year and certainly didn’t go out with a bang this year.

I love sheet masks this was my choice for the month. I also like that they always give you 2 when you get sheet masks. I also really think it is sweet that we got wintery holiday ones as an option for december. Most Sheet masks are more generally moisturizing then anything else but these will be nice.
