December Ipsy Bag

Overall I'm impressed with this month's Ipsy bag.  I actually loveeeeedddddd the bag, but a lot of people on the website were complaining about how it wasn't festive.  Well I think it's festive and sleek and gorgeous.  It's shiny, black, with a diamond print and lined with red fabric.  I think this bag is great because if you carry a higher end bag, you wouldn't be embarssed pulling this one out for whatever reason.  Love it.  

I also love the products--the cologne and perfume sample were very large vials--you can def get some use out of this.  I find it odd that the sample had a men's cologne too, but maybe that's just because I don't have a man. LOLOLOL. I think I got my money's worth this month, and my favorite item would probably be the Bombshell multiple stick--I posted a swatch of it and the lipstick below.  Sooooo pretty ladies! 

December's Ipsy bag:

*Signature by English Laundry perfume and cologne sample

*Bombshell Multiple Stick in Flustered

*Nicka K nail polish in a red shade (no  name on the bottle anywhere--weird)

*POP eyeshadow trio

*NYX Round Lipstick in Baby Pink

October's Ipsy Bag

Here are this month's products:

This month's Ipsy bag (the bag itself) was adorable! Love it!! Anywho, in this month's bag I got a full sized Zoya nail polish, in a gorgeous sparkly purple color (Mason).  I also got a medium eyeshadow brush by Coastal Scents.  There was also a sample of La Fresh face oil-free face cleanser wipes.  There was also a sample of Bella Terra Mineral Cosmetics color in Navy.  Lastly, and last for a reason, a sample of StyleSexyHair's Spray Clay. I put this last because I, personally, am not a fan of hair products.  Ipsy could totally remove hair products from my packages and I'd be completely okay with that.  This is the second (out of four bags total) hair product I've received, and like the other, this is likely to go unused.

September Ipsy Bag

Hi guys! So this month's Ipsy bag arrived right on time! Last month was a nightmare lol, but I still liked all my products.  Anywho, this month's Ipsy package arrived in a blue and navy makeup bag.  Super cute and sleek.  This bag is a good size to keep in your purse for makeup (if you only carry a little during the day) but even better for personables lol. 

This month's Ipsy bag, for me, came with 5 items.  This month's full sized item was the Chella Ivory Lace Highlighter, which retails for $18.  I'm super excited I got this one too, because I had been wanting to try the Anastasia or Benefit brow highlighter, and since I have one, I don't have to spend the funds now.  Plus, this Chella highlighter has really good reviews, and I'm sure it will add that much needed pop to my eyes.  

This month's products:

• Chella Ivory Lace Highlighter Pencil, full sized, retail value of $18
• NYX single eyeshadow, ES103 Hollywood, retail value of $4.50
• Starlooks Obsidian Kohl Eye Pencil,I think this is full sized too, retail value of $12
• Cailyn Cosmetics Tinted Lip Balm, Ipsy sample size, retail value (for full size) $19
• Elizabeth Mott It's So Big Volumizing Mascara, sample size, retail value (for full size) $19.99

August Ipsy Bag

Before I get into my review/product list for this month's glam bag, I have to say I wasn't pleased with two things.  I'm not pissed, but I am annoyed.  First, this month's bag took longer to arrive (and DHL tracking numbers did not work at all this month), and that may have to do with the second thing. Second, this month's bag arrived damaged.  You can check out the pics below for greater detail, but this month's bag had a slash in it, and when I inspected the packaging, someone on the delivery end must have cut through my package and taped it back up, not realizing (or not caring more likely) that they actually cut thru to my bag. BOOOOOOOOO.  

Moving on, this month I received 5 items in my Ipsy bag.  I received: a sample size of Urban Decay's Revolution Lipstick in Anarchy (gorgeous, gorgeous shade of pink!), a NYX Mosaic Powder in #12 Dare (full size), a Pacifica Alight Multi-Mineral BB Cream sample, a Pixi Lash Booster Mascara sample in #2 Blackest Black, and a 1 oz sample of Michael Todd true organics Jojoba Charcoal Facial Scrub.  

Remember, Ipsy is a monthly subscription for beauty products.  For $10 a month and free shipping you get a bag containing samples (and usually one full sized item) of beauty products across a board of brands.  Many of the brands may be up and coming brands, and some are staple favorites.  This is only my second month of receiving the bag, and outside of the technical difficulties, I think it's good.  

Not a lot of product in this sample. Maybe about the length of your fingertip.

Ipsy July Bag 2013

So I signed up for Ipsy last month, and I got my first bag this month.  The July 2013 bag was a cute vinyl hot pink plastic bag. This is my first bag, so I wasn't sure what to expect or whether or not I should be super stoked or super let down by this month's contents.  Either way, for $10, you really can't beat that.  Especially since each month your products come in a cute travel bag of some sort.  There were many options for this month's bag.  My goodies were: Coola Unscented Sunscreen (sample size), Big S**y Hair Weatherproof Hair Spray (sample size), BH Cosmetics California Collection eye palette (sample), POP Culture lip color pencil in Coral Crush, Derma E Microdermabrasion Scrub (full size). 

For $10, it isn't a bad deal at all.  I've posted swatches below.  I love the lip color and the eye shadow colors.  I'm going to try the other products and review them in the near future! 

It comes mailed in this cute hot pink package.
