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

Wantable Makeup Review

Wantable is a subscription box company that has boxes for beauty, intimates and accessories.  I was given the makeup box for review through Tomoson.  The Wantable makeup box is filled with 4-5 full size makeup products based on your preferences.  I really liked the makeup survey because they asked many different questions about my favorite makeup products.  In the end, Wantable made a list of my loves, likes and dislikes.  You will usually get products from your loves and never get any from your dislikes.  I was really excited to get the box and see what was picked out for me. The Details: Cost: $36.00 for a subscription or $40.00 for a single purchase.

Wantable: www.wantable.com The Box The makeup subscription comes in a small white box with the Wantable “W” on it.  It fit in my mailbox, so I was surprised to see it when I checked my mail.  Most of my boxes are delivered on my doorstep.  It is a really cute little box. First Look Information Guide Lise Watier Haute Lumiere High Shine Lip Gloss Spotlight $22.00 When I first saw this, I thought, wow that is bright.  I tried it and I love it.  It doesn’t look that bright on.  It also has a flat applicator that lets you put the gloss on easier.  There is even a light inside the cap and a mirror on the side.  You can putContinue Reading
