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

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. What’s in the box and the subscriptions:  A.  Makeup: 4 to 5 full-sized premium makeup products, hand-picked to perfectly match your preferences. B.  Accessories: 3 to 4 boutique accessories, handpicked to perfectly match your preferences. C.  Intimates:   4 to 5 premium essentials, handpicked to perfectly match your preferences. Can you pause your subscription?  Yes! Can you cancel your subscription? Yes! Can I change my preferences?  Yes, just log into your account. 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

October Popsugar Must Have Box Review and Discount Code

Popsugar has become my favorite box that I get for me.  It is $35.00 a month, but it is increasing by $5.00 November 1, 2013.  Popsugar sends a box of the must have items from the month.  You can all kinds of items from makeup, to hair clips, books, snacks, you name it.  I love that they send such a variety of things, there is always something I love in the box.  I saw the spoilers for this month, and I was really excited to get my box.  This month, Popsugar nailed it!  I loved my entire box.  Normally, I do a first look, but I was took excited and opened my box. The Information Card Popsugar has amazing information cards.  Their cards fold out and have information about each product, why they picked it and the picture.  I don’t like staring at the information card, trying to find out what is what.  This month, Popsugar is donating a $1.00 to Breast Cancer research with every box sold. NYX Smoky Shadow Palette $7.00 I love this palette.  I will use all of these colors.  I like that Popsugar didn’t include any loud and crazy colors. Julep Maven Freedom Top Coat  $18.00 retail $14.40 maven price Char (It Girl) $14.00 retail $11.20 maven pricing Julep recently made an appearance in my Citrus Lane box.  I was hoping Popsugar would get a different color than Citrus Lane included, and I was happy to see they did.  Popsugar send two polishes: the freedom top coat and Char nail polish.  The Freedom Top Coat is one of my favorite Julep products.  It makes your nails look glossy and it tries your polish in 5 minutes!  The other polish was Char, a beautiful dark blue color.  If you are interested in find out more aboutContinue Reading

October Julep Maven Classic with A Twist and Free Box Code

It was hard to decide what Julep Maven box to get.  I loved the red in Classic with a twist. Anisa.  I really wasn’t crazy about the grey-beige color, Winona.  I also loved It Girl this month.  I decided to stay with Classic with a Twist and trade Winona on a swap board.  Julep is $19.95 a month, but the nice part is, you can skip any month.  When you sign up, you fill out a style profile, and are assigned to one of five styles: Modern Beauty, It Girl, Bombshell, BoHo Glam, and Classic with a Twist, Every month, BoHo Glam, Bombshell and Classic with a Twist gets 2 polishes and then a beauty/makeup/nail item.  It Girl always has 3 polishes.  Modern Beauty always get two beauty, makeup, nail care, or skin care items. The Box I like how the add-ons are all in the same box. Quote Card There is always a little card, with a quote for the month.  This month, the card says, “Don’t Ask Permission” by Joan Jett Candy Corn Julep always include a little bonus item.  This month’s item was candy corn.  My boys are going to enjoy this.  I am not a fan. Kajal Eye Glider with sharpener I was glad to get a make up item this month.  I haven’t tried this yet, but I like eye pencils.  I also like the sharpener. Alisa I love this red.  It is the reason I chose this box.  I love the color. Winona I was not a fan of this color.  It is a beige-grey color.  I am trading this for another color, with person from an online swap group. Casper This is a white sparkly color that glows in the dark.  I think this will be fun for Halloween. The Whole Box FinalContinue Reading

Ipsy Glam Bag Review July 2013

My boys get so many boxes, I decided to start getting a few for me.  I have loved all the “unboxing videos” of Ipsy and knew I had to try it.  Ipsy sends out a “Glam Bag” each much filled with deluxe samples and full size products.  As a busy mom, I don’t get time to shop around for new beauty and makeup items.  When you sign up, you fill out a survey about your skin tone, make-up habits etc.  Each month there will be a group of products.  If you want to cancel at anytime, you can do so right from your online account.  You will be sent 4-5 that match your profile.
