Ipsy Bag
Cost: $10 monthly, $110 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 100 points and 1000 points. You can get up to 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.
Well damn Ipsy look at you coming all early for a change. I love when my boxes come early (Side Eye at some other boxes that have been coming late).
For some bizarre reason my computer isn’t letting me edit my pictures from this bag and I’m too busy and tired to fuss with it so sorry.
Had to throw in the adorable new coffee mug I got it came the same day and I am in love its huge and cute and I do like my coffee black like my soul 🙂
I also got 6 products again this month which instantly makes me more excited for my bag.
When I saw previews of this I thought I was going to love it but it actually feels really cheap ad plasticky to me an I do not like it.
Manefit Beauty Planner Sheet Mask in Mugwort Astringent + Pore Care
Full Size: 5 masks
Full Size Cost: $10
Sample Size: 1 mask
Value: $2
This is a sheet mask right up my alley with astringent and pore refining. I am sorta off the sheet mask trend they tend to make me feel cold and I hate feeling cold. But I will try this.
Manefit Beauty Planner Sheet Mask in Lily Whitening + Brightening
Full Size: 5 masks
Full Size Cost: $10
Sample Size: 1 mask
Value: $2
The back of this says it will leave your skin translucent, is that a thing people want? I have never desired to be see through I’m sure it is just a case of bad translation but I got a good laugh out of it. I don’t ever really use whitening sheet masks I just don’t have an attraction to them.
Luxie Brush 207 Medium Angled Shading
Full Size: Yes
Value: $12
I love Luxie brushes and Ipsy does send them out fairly often which is great because they retail for a minimum of the cost of the bag so any month I get one makes the month automatically worth it. This is a fairly large fluffy angled brush but for me it will be perfect for a dramatic crease or for smoking out the outer v. This would also probably be great for nose contour.
Elizabeth Mott Pop! Goes the Shadow in Gunmetal
Full Size: 2 g
Full Size Cost: $12
Sample Size: 0.7 g
Value: $4.20
The packaging of this sample is much cuter then the full size. This is a nice gunmetal color but I do have plenty in my collection this isn’t even worth depotting for me. This is a miss for me. Swatched Below.
Colourpop Lippie Stix Matte X in Glam Bag
Full Size: 1 g
Full Size Cost: $5
Sample Size: 1 g
Value: $5
This is a bright magenta. I don’t wear colors like this but the formula is so creamy and matte that I am tempted to try to wear it. I thought this was going to be an exclusive shade but it is for sale on Colourpop’s website. Swatched Below.
Beauty for Real I-Line in Jade
Full Size: 0.28 g
Full Size Cost: $14
Sample Size: 0.28 g
Value: $14
I love this brand of eyeliner I received a black on awhile ago in an Ipsy bag and loved it to death and now I have this great Jade green. It is so pretty. the I-Line eyeliners are very pigmented and creamy so they apply to my waterline effortlessly and they have really good staying power and nothing stays in my waterline. Only weird part is that these are full size but then say not for retail sale on them just slightly odd. Swatched Below.
Eyeshadow, eyeliner, lippie stix. All nice quality the eye shadow and the lippie stick are just not colors I am into.
Very low value for Ipsy this seems to be becoming a trend. Despite that it is almost four times what you pay for the bag and I got 5 full size items out of 6. The brush and eyeliner are my favorite things in the bag and the lippie stix and eyeshadows are my least favorite.
