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.
This was a big “celebration” month in honor of the 100th Ipsy bag. So everyone got 6 items as well as a deal on Add-Ons. Add-ons usually start at $3 dollars but we got a 42 off discount on add-ons so for the first time ever I did get an add-on for an additional $1.07 which I’ll talk about later in this post. Other then that which pretty much saved the month for me it was a pretty meh bag.
Caolion Blackhead O2 Bubble Pore Pack

I don’t love these bubbling masks I feel like they are alot of gimmick, but they are super fun so I will use it.
Girlactik Precise Eyeliner Marker

I have gotten this before I can’t remember if it was from Ipsy or from Macy’s it is a fine liner nothing that amazing nothing that terrible. I have alot of open liners so I am not opening this just to swatch it we all know what a black liquid liner looks like.
Honey Jarret Clean Whip Cleanser
Full Size: 100 g
Full Size Cost: $18

I have never heard of this brand but it seems pretty affordable. This is supposed to be really cleansing and get all the dirt and makeup out of your pores so I am wondering if it is going to also be really stripping.
Grace & Stella Lavender Lotion

I don’t love this it isn’t the sweet lavender scent that I prefer. It is also really greasy I am not the biggest fan.
Wander Beauty Wandress Eyeshadow in Blossom

Full Size Cost: $25

This to me looks like and feels like a highlighter it is a pretty pink shifting gold shade very shimmery but not a ton of base color. The whole palette it comes in also sorta looks like a highlighter palette to me and that is how I plan to use this up. It is really pretty and smooth though I don’t hate it.
Complex Culture All Over Shadow Brush
Full Size: Yes
Full Size Cost: $18
I love these brushes they are so high quality so soft they blend beautifully. I just love them this is the third I think I have gotten from Ipsy. One was also part of the add-ons so I got the precision eyelid as an add-on for a dollar and am super happy to have these two brushes. They are so so nice. I love them.
Not my favorite month but the two brushes have me super super happy.
