Ipsy May 2020 Subscription Box Review

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.


I wasn’t expecting my may bag so quickly but the month I wasn’t excited for and it’s the one that comes early. The bag is really pretty I like the sherberty sunrise vibes but the bag feels really cheap this month.

F.A.R.A.H. Brushes Large Blender 25EL

Full Size: Yes

Full Size Cost: $10

I always like getting brushes in Ipsy but I don’t love F.A.R.A.H. brushes they always feel and preform at a lesser quality. This one feels better then some others from them I tried and its cute. This is a pretty dense more dome brush then a large blender and isn’t really a shape I use much I can see this getting decluttered in my future.

Benefit Roller Lash

Full Size: 8.5 g

Full Size Cost: $25

Sample Size: 3 g

Value: $8.82

I remember not liking Roller Lash but I think I want to give it another shot and see how I go with it. Not that my mascara is getting that much use right now.

Pure Brazilian Daily Anti-Frizz Serum

Full Size: 13.5 oz

Full Size Cost: $30

Sample Size: 1 oz

Value: $2.22

I tried a hair mask from them that I didn’t love but I am always here to try other things from a brand just because I didn’t like one products doesn’t mean I won’t like another. I like anti-frizz treatments alot so this will be in use soon as I can go out and need to style my hair again.

Wander Beauty Nude Illusion Liquid Foundation in Light Medium

Full Size: 30 ml

Full Size Cost: $40

Sample Size: 5 ml

Value: $6.67

Ipsy knows how much I don’t like getting foundation but they always send it anyway. Not really happy to have this but eh.

Goldfaden MD Wake Up Call Overnight Regenerative Facial Treatment

Full Size: 50 ml

Full Size Cost: $85

Sample Size: 12 ml

Value: $20.40

This was my choice for the month. I loved the last mask I tried for them it actually worked so I am hoping this works too because of how expensive these products are. Stoked for this it makes the whole bag for me.


Value was really low this month and there was only one product I am really excited about so not really the best month for me which is kinda annoying. With the situation I was hoping for a real like good bag so there was some excitement in my life but oh well.
