Ipsy September 2019 Subscription Box Review

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 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.

Though that is changing now so I’ll talk more about that later and next month.


The bag this month is so so cute I love the constellations on it and the fake quartz zipper pull and that it is a nice canvas. This will be the first bag in a while that I am keeping.

Glow Recipe Watermelon Glow Sleeping Mask

Full Size: 80 ml

Full Size Cost: $45

Sample Size: 10 ml

Value: $5.63

I love this sleeping mask but it is so expensive. It really does leave my skin looking glowy and and hydrated and soft when I use it.

L.O.C.K. COLOR Unicorn Glow Hydrating Primer

Full Size: 30 g

Full Size Cost: $12

Sample Size: 10 g

Value: $4

This is supposed to be a collagen infused primer that makes your skin look plumper and I would say it did do that but it is nothing particularly spectacular.

111 Skin Space Defence Bright Eye Lift Gel

Full Size: 15 ml

Full Size Cost: $190

Sample Size: 7.5 ml

Value: $95

I fucking choked when I saw the price of this. For that price it better do some magic. I tried it before looking at pricey and didn’t feel like it was all that special but um maybe it gets better with time. Because for that pricey it better do magic for my eyes and cook me dinner too.

Ofra x Madison Miller Long Lasting Liquid Lipstick in Oh My Ry Ry

Full Size: 8 g

Full Size Cost: $20

Sample Size: 6 g

Value: $15

I feel like every Ofra Liquid Lipstick I have is in this same mauve color. The formula on these is pretty light and mousse so they aren’t too uncomfortable to wear.

The Beauty Crop Eyeshadow in Seren

Full Size: 3 g

Full Size Cost: $?

Sample Size: 3 g

Value: $?

So they don’t seem to sell single eyeshadows anymore so I don’t know how much this is but it is full size. This is a pretty metallic plum color. Very smooth and creamy.


So i got a full size eyeshadow and a crazy expensive eye cream that is almost worth what i spend on the this whole subscription each year so that is a win.

So starting next month the Ipsy bag is going up to $12 a month, $132 a year. The bag will now be worth $50+ a month (which it almost always was anyway…) and you will get to customize one item each month starting with the October bag so I will see how that goes next month and talk more about it then.
