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.
I really like this month’s bag first one in a while that I have liked. Mine seems to be misprinted the gold square is up too high leaving a gap at the bottoms and the top part not visible because it is on the fold.
Haruharu Wonder Black Rice Hyaluronic Toner
Full Size: 150 ml
Full Size Cost: $12.76
Sample Size: 13 ml
Value: $1.11
This is the first time I can remember that an item has been under the average or what I “paid” for it. On top of that it is an item I am not super excited about I don’t really care for hydrating toners I find them rather pointless.

Sample Size: 10 ml
Value: $11.25
This is a really interesting product it is like a skincare mask but it is also a priming moisturizer this is alot like the Glossier priming moisturizer but feels much lighter and smoother on my skin. I think I am really going to enjoy using this. I did not expect it to be so expensive though when I looked up the price.
Codage Masque Micro-Peeling Mask
Full Size: 50 ml
Full Size Cost: $52
Sample Size: 15 ml
Value: $15.60
I thought at first this was one of those masks that balls up which I am not hugely into but this is actually and AHA mask and should actually do some nice chemical exfoliating.
Love You First Perfect Eyeshadow Duo
Full Size: 9g, 1g per shade
Full Size Cost: $10.99
Sample Size: 2.5g, 1.25g per shade
Value: $3.05
Look I am not going to swatch this because I wouldn’t use this. Looks nice though. Interestingly my palette seems to be mislabeled. The back says this is rose gold and ivory, when compared to the full size product this is actually the soft brown and bronze shades.
Nars High-Pigment Longwear Eyeliner in Via Veneto
Full Size: 0.04 oz
Full Size Cost: $24
Sample Size: 0.02 oz
Value: $12
So this was my choice this month, I love Nars eyeliners they are so smooth and creamy and pigmented and I am happy to have this black one.
So this bag had a really low value as did last months bag looking back. I checked and the bag is supposed to be valued at over $50 so I contacted Ipsy about that because I am a little annoyed the price has increased and it seems that despite having item choice the value is dropping. I will up date you next month on what they say about all this.
