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 the same link any subscriber would get.

You can choose one item in your bag every month which I really like. I will say the quality of the actual bag every month isn’t as consistent or as good as they have been in years past.

I missed the cut off to choose an item so I did not get to choose any items.

Half Caked Mirror Mirror Highlighter in Fortune Faded

Full Size:

Full Size Cost: $

Sample Size: 1.8 g

Value: $

So I have loved the blushes I have tried from this brand but this was not that impressive. It also isn’t for sale so that it pretty odd too.

Dew of the Gods Froze Mini Body Scrub

Full Size: 150 g

Full Size Cost: $22

Sample Size: 30 g

Value: $4.40

This feels like a whole lot of marketing and buzz words which is you know is not my thing. I like body scrubs and trying new ones so I am looking forward to using it.

Plum Candy Melts Vegan Lip Balm in Melon Bubble-yum

Full Size: 12 g

Full Size Cost: $3.99

Sample Size: 5 g

Value: $1.66

I may have been into this in a different flavor but this is so inexpensive they couldn’t have just given us a full size like why.

Laruce Tapered Blending Brush

Full Size: Yes

Full Size Cost: $28

This has the same feel as alot of my favorite brushes and I really like this it is super soft. I will say this is not cut and shaped perfectly which I expect for a $28 dollar price point.

Kaleido Cosmetics Obsidian Waterproof Liquid Eyeliner

Full Size: 2 g

Full Size Cost: $8

Yay another black liquid eyeliner how unique.

Not the worst month but always weird when there is super tiny samples and unfindable products.

Very cute bag this month I love these very watercolor almost impressionist but not quite style for flowers. I will use this bag even though it is a bit plasticy and low quality feeling.

Marc Anthony Grow Long Super Fast Strength Leave-In Conditioner

Full Size: 250 ml

Full Size Cost: $6.99

Sample Size: 50 ml

Value: $1.40

I usually love Marc Anthony hair products so I am excited to use this one too.

Basic Skin Shower Scrub

Full Size: 45 ml

Full Size Cost: $18

Sample Size: 45 ml

Value: $18

I’m sorry this mus be a mistake on what planet is 45 ml FULL SIZE for a scrub and what business does it have being $18 what the actual fuck.

The Creme Shop Fusion Sheet Mask in Tumeric and Matcha

Full Size: 1 mask

Full Size Cost: $3

The Creme Shop Fusion Sheet Mask in Vitamin C and Hyaluronic Acid

Full Size: 1 mask

I have had great luck and really liked all the creme shop masks I have tried so I lkeep choosing them when I can. These will be great I am sure.

Tresluce Beauty Ready to Bounce Cream Blush in Date Night

Full Size: 2.8 g

Full Size Cost: $16

Sample Size: 2 g

This doesn’t feel like a cream blush but the color is so so pretty I really love it. It is really smooth and pretty.

Pink Lipps Lumi Balm Lip Tint in Dream

Full Size: 0.12 oz

Full Size Cost: $12

This is very pink very glossy very soft very much is a dupe for the Fresh Sugar Lip Balm in Dream. I don’t know how long I will have this around for this is not my ideal kinda formula and tint color.

I am much happier with this months bag this feels like it was chosen for me and not just one of a bunch of variations.

This is a cute springy bag I like the little daisy zipper pull.

Glow Recipe Watermelon Glow Niacinamide Dew Drops

Full Size: 40 ml

Full Size Cost: $34

Sample Size: 5 ml

Value: $4.25

I love this brand I have not had a bad experience with anything I have tried. I picked this for the month and I am happy I have a full size of this but you can never have to much nice skincare.

Maapilim Exfoliating Solution

Full Size: 4.2 oz

Full Size Cost: $63

Sample Size: 0.5 oz

Value: $7.50

I don’t really love toners they just feel like such an extra step. This is so wildly expensive and I can’t imagine that this is going to live up to the price exfoliating toners are not hard to come by so I could not imagine paying this much for a toner.

Dionis Goat Milk Body Lotion in White Jasmine & Shea

Full Size: 1 oz

Full Size Cost: $3.99

I don’t know that I will love this scent but I have wanted to try these lotions for awhile. Weirdly enough you can only get this scent in this size at cracker barrel now even though I know Ulta used to carry it. It is very thin for a hand cream. So well see how this goes for me I can see me decluttering this.

Context Nude Balm in Girl School

Full Size: 2.8 g

Full Size Cost: $20

I don’t like this at all the color is far to pink and the gloss balm thing while very trendy right now is not something I am a huge fan of. Swatched Below.

V. Kosmetik Lightweight Powder Blush in Natural Kiss

Full Size: ?

Full Size Cost: $23.74

Sample Size: 2.2 g

Value: $5?

This is such a pretty blush very neutral but also very peach and I am hyped to use it. I hate when brands especially small brands don’t state the full sizes on their website it feels shady or sloppy depending on the vibes from the brand. Swatched Below.

Well this felt better then last months bag at least.
