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.


I was so really really happy with all the things they sent me this month even though the bag itself was not my taste at all. I am super excited for next month because they are pairing with Tetris (I know super random) but who doesn’t love Tetris.

Always excited for some Korean skincare. This might be my next cleanser this sounds perfect for the summer if it does have some skin clearing abilities.

Innisfree Pore Clearing Clay Mask

Full Size: 100 ml

Full Size Cost: $15

Sample Size: 20 ml

Value: $3

A little of this goes a long way. Like I did a whole face of this mask and the mask in the jar is still at the top of the jar. This felt really comfortable on my face but id did leave my face a bit dry and tight when I took it off and it did a little for my pores but my skin is in such a bad state right now I don’t think there is much saving it.

F.A.R.A.H. 22E Shade and Blend Brush

Full Size: Yes

Full Size Cost: $22

I would not spend $22 dollars on this it feels really light and while it is soft it doesn’t feel $22 of quality it doesn’t even feel as nice as say a Luxie brush. Either way I love new brushes and am happy to have a double ended one one I find them to be really convenient.

This is a really nice warm bronzer brown color that does not pull orange. It is also really smooth and has a glow with out being shimmery. I really like this alot. I really like having tiny bronzers on had because I hate bringing all my giant bronzers places with me. Swatched Below.
