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 the zipper pull on this bag even though the bag is not really my style.
Full Size: Yes
Full Size Cost: $23
This is not a $23 dollar brush it is very like it is not super soft the bristles are not cut perfectly like they should be on a brush this expensive. This was my choice for the month but is like a $5 dollar brush.

This is just not something I like. these are ultra glittery and frosty and I just don’t vibe with that I can see myself decluttering this after I play with it a bit. Swatched Below.
Milk Makeup Lip + Cheek in Werk
Full Size: 6g
Full Size Cost: $18
Sample Size: 6g

I tend to really like stick products and Milk Makeup products. This is a pretty dusty rose color that I think is going to make a really pretty blush. Swatched Below.
Mented Balms Away Coconut Lip Treatment
Full Size: 10 ml
Full Size Cost: $9.60
Sample Size: 10 ml
Value: $9.60
I was really excited for this I love a fancy lip balm. But this was slightly disappointing. This was a bit gritty probably to the instability of coconut oil, that melts and re solidifies pretty readily. I will still happily use it but the little bit of grittiness does not appeal to me.
Sleek’e Silk’e Deep Conditioning Hair Mask
Full Size: 210 ml
Full Size Cost: $16
Sample Size: 45 ml
Value: $3.43
I love hair masks I use them alot. And of course I will use a mask that promises silky hair but this smells awful so bad I don’t like it.
Not my favorite month to be sure. In regards to the low value last month I contacted Ipsy with mediocre results. I emailed them and the first response I got was like “Oh well we make sure all the values are good in each bag with great products sorry you were upset.” basically getting blown off and that was really annoying. Attached to that email was a survey where you could rate your response so I did said I was very unhappy that I was being blown off and no solutions were offered. Then I was immediately emailed back that they were sorry and they added a bunch of points to my Ipsy account. So that was how that all went.
