December Ipsy Review

Ipsy is a great subscription for people who love trying new beauty and makeup items.  It is only $10.00 a month and you get about 5 items in a great beauty bag.  You fill out a survey about your makeup preferences and then Ipsy sends a bag geared to your preferences.  Once you get your bag, you can review your items online, and tell Ipsy what you think. I love the beauty bags and how well they can be used for so many things.  I have some in my purse and I use some for travel.  I have found some great new make up items from getting Ipsy.  If you are interested in trying Ipsy, you can click here to sign up. The envelope  I love Ipsy’s envelopes.  They are very study and can be reused to ship other things. First Look  I love the black bag this month.  It could be used as a tiny purse or just a glam make up bag in your purse.  I used some points to buy a beauty blender. Celebration This month’s Ipsy theme was Celebration NYX Extra Creamy Round Lipstick $4.00  I will wear this will a brighter shade of lipstick to add a little shimmer.  It applies very smoothly. Be A Bombshell The One Stick Flustered $16.00  This is my favorite product in the bag.  It can be used as eye shadow, blush or lipstick!  This is a great color POP Beauty Bright Up Your Life Eye Shadow Trio Naturally Bare $7.20 I would prefer the grey trio but this is a nice neutral palette that will look great on Mirabella Eye Blender Brush $27.00  This is a great eye shadow blending brush.  It doesn’t loose it’s bristles when you use it and blends shadow very well.  I can’t believe Ipsy included a $27.00 brush in the bagContinue Reading

November Ipsy Review

Ipsy is one of my fun subscriptions.  Ipsy sends out a Glam Bag full of full size and sample beauty products, for $10.00 a month.  You fill out a survey about your makeup preferences and then Ipsy sends a bag geared to your preferences.  Once you get your bag, you can review your items online, and tell Ipsy what you thing.  I love the reusable bags, because they are always so cute and functional. The Bag I say this every time, but I love the Ipsy envelopes. This month’s theme is “Glam is Up” You can take a picture of your bag this month and share it on Instagram or Facebook, to try to win a 1 year Glam Bag subscription Em Flyer Em is giving 30% percent off to Ipsy subscribers on the emconsmetics.com/ipsy by using the code ipsy30 Pixi Beauty Bronzer Subtly Suntouched $18.00 I am not sure if I am going to try this.  I am VERY pale and this looks pretty dark.  I may try to trade this for something else. Starlooks Eye Pencil in Topaz $14.00 I always wear black eyeliner, but I will wear this.  This is fun silver color.  I am not brave enough to rock some wild eyeliners, so the silver is perfect. Em Michelle Phan Lash Gallery Mascara $20.00 This is part of the new line Em, by Michelle Phan.  This mascara has a scoop brush that lifts and curls lashes, as it lengthens.  This is smudge proof and smear proof, that lengthens without clumping.  Honestly, I was a bit disappointing that I received mascara.  I would rather have eye shadow, lip gloss or blush.  It is nice mascara, just not exciting. Be a Bombshell Lip Crayon in Hot Dam* $14.00 This is an exciting red color.  This is reserved for date night, butContinue Reading
