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.
Well this month really sucked bad for me with Ipsy.
The pastel bag is super cute but really cheap feeling.
Elaina Badro Electroplated Blending Brush
Full Size: Yes
Full Size Cost: $20
Well this brush can’t be purchased. I have never heard of this brand but nothing they have nor the quality of this brush seems like it is par with the prices they are charging. It is cute and soft and I will use it but it isn’t $20.
Araceli Tequila Highlighter in Blanco
Full Size:
Full Size Cost: $24
Sample Size: 1.8 g
Value: $
I have no idea the value because I have no idea the size of the full size. Also I was excited for this love the concept of tequila and the the packaging is cute. But woah so unimpressive on I have so many beautiful highlighters I won’t be keeping this. Swatched Below.
Shades By Shan Bronzer in Walnut
Full Size:
Full Size Cost: $15
Sample Size: 3 g
Value: $
This is another one with no way to find out the full size cost and now I also think something a little sketchy is going on because these both feel a bit like not realy brands more like very indie at their infancy of creation and upon looking at one of the instagrams they were in a give away together and like hmmm little strange that these too tiny indie brands know each other and some how both show up in an ipsy bag together. Also this bronzer is orange as hell.
Honey Jarret Lip Sleeping Mask in Lemon Honey
Full Size: 12 g
Full Size Cost: $12
Sample Size: 3 g
Value: $3
This was my choice for the month I love lemon and honey and lip masks and this smells so good. the only thing I am happy about in the bag really.
Tarte Shape Tape Ultra Creamy Concealer in 29N Light Medium
Full Size: 10 ml
Full Size Cost: $29
Sample Size: 0.5 ml
Value: $1.45
Couldn’t even give a full ml huh. I just don’t care for shape tape or concealer in general. I have rated shape tape and Tarte low in the past so it isn’t great that they keep sending them to me.
Really just a shitty month for me.
