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.

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.

This bag reminds me of Clueless and I love it for that.

m2u nyc Eye Primer in Nude

Full Size: 3 ml

Full Size Cost: $8

I think this is actually going to be really nice. It has that light not quite a color but definitely light and bright also color kinda weird but I think it will be a good base for eyeshadow.

Benefit Bad Gal Bang! Mascara

Full Size: 8.5 g

Full Size Cost: $26

Sample Size: 3 g

Value: $9.18

It really annoys me that we couldn’t get a full mini which would have been 4 g like it had to be more costly and inconvenient to product this size then to produce more of a size you already make. That said it is a pretty good mascara. I am just swimming in mascara though.

BRTC Vitamin A Velvet Mask Firming + Beta-Glucan

Full Size: 1 mask

Full Size Cost: $2

I love when we get sheet masks in Ipsy because they always send two. I don’t think I have ever tried a vitamin a mask so that is really cool.

BRTC Vitamin B5 Velvet Mask Soothing + Panthenol + Cica

Full Size: 1 mask

Full Size Cost: $2

The Balm Bronzilla

Full Size: 8.5 g

Full Size Cost: $20

Sample Size: 2.2 g

Value: $5.18

This was my choice I like The Balm products because I get them so rarely. This is a very warm bronzer which I don’t love. Swatched Below.

Kaleido Cosmetics Astrolight in Flare

Full Size: 4 ml

Full Size Cost: $17

This is so fucking pretty you really can see this from space like the packaging says. I love crazy liquid highlighters like this but this would also look amazing on the eyes really happy to get something so cool like this.

I am really happy with my bag this month I feel like September is always good in Ipsy land.

This is just going to be a very low energy low enthusiasm post. We had to put my sweet old German Shepard down. She’s been with me most of my adult life and I am just very sad.

Heartbroken.

The bag is cute but not my vibe.

Ouai Scalp & Body Scrub

Full Size: 250 g

Full Size Cost: $38

Sample Size: 30 g

Value: $4.56

Typically I am not a fan of Ouai products I just find them too heavy and the scent is super off putting to me. So I will pass this along. I do like scalp and body scrubs though.

MOTD Lighting Crew Brush

Full Size: Yes

Full Size Cost: $15

This is soft if has taklon bristles and it is pretty but it does not feel like the quality of a $15 brush it should be much weightier had have a better ferrule.

Dermedicine Retinol Detox Mask

Full Size: 2 oz

Full Size Cost: $35

Sample Size: 0.88 oz

Value: $15.40

I have never heard of a retinol mask before I am really excited to try this out. It isn’t even terribly expensive for a retinol.

Veriphy Ctrl + Alt + Del Facial Cleanser

Full Size: 150 ml

Full Size Cost: $38.20

Sample Size: 15 ml

Value: $3.82

I am so sick of getting cleansers I have so many.

First Aid Beauty Pores Be Gone Matte Primer

Full Size: 1.7 oz

Full Size Cost: $30

Sample Size: 0.34 oz

Value: $6

I don’t love First Aid Beauty products all the time either. They are also so expensive for like what? I know some people passionately love them and I get that.
