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.
Meh this month didn’t really like this bag though I know some people will like it because it is pretty classy and simple. I also wasn’t super impressed with what I got this month either.
Glow Recipe Banana Souffle Moisture Cream
Full Size: 50 ml
Full Size Cost: $39
Sample Size: 10 ml

This is very light but also really dewy and a bit greasy not a huge fan at all.
Avette Coconut Mild Foam Cleanser
Full Size: 150 ml
Full Size Cost: $12
Sample Size: 15 ml
Value: $1.20
A simple face wash not complaining but also not exciting and the value is super low on this.
Full Size: Yes
Full Size Cost: $22
This was my pick for the month it is super soft and fluffy but it is really big I wish it was just a bit smaller or a bit more domed it is just a little off in shape for my personal tastes.
Context Matte Lipstick in 102 Sweet Emotion
Full Size: 3.4 g
Full Size Cost: $20
Sample Size: 2.4 g
Value: $14.12
This is a very pretty rusty color but it isn’t really matte at all. It has a really nice shape that hugs your lips as well but that will get worn down pretty fast I think. This is also supposed to be “non-toxic” which is a pretty bs claim all real makeup is non toxic. Swatched Below.
TreStique Line, Sharpen + Smudge Eye Pencil in Santorini Black Sand
Full Size: 0.3 g
Full Size Cost: $19
Sample Size: 0.3 g
Value: $19
This seems like a pretty nice black eyeliner not that they don’t send 75 million black eyeliners. I don’t care for the little smudge thing on the end that really isn’t the best or most hygienic way to smudge eyeliner but it is fine I can ignore that. This is also retractable but also has a sharpener they really shoved everything into this liner. I just really think TreStique packaging is so cute how they make it look like crayons.
Overall a pretty boring collection of products but it is what it is.
