Ahh, ipsy. The May ipsy bag was so amazing that even I was excited to see what the June ipsy bag would hold. I guessed it wouldn’t be as amazing as the May bag (I mean how could it be), but I was still excited!
As always, I loved seeing that pink envelope in my mailbox. And yes, I do reuse these too. It always irks me when I have to buy packaging supplies, so I try to save everything I can to reuse.
ipsy doesn’t have a true information card like most subscription boxes. Instead they have a card which lists all of the brands in that month’s bags and the discounts they are offering to ipsy subscribers. Not everyone gets the same brands, so it’s fun to check out what other people received. The June ipsy theme was “On the Wild Side” and my bag included the following:
~Starlooks Lip Pencil (Bare) ($12): I have the same issue with lip pencils that I have with eye liners. I just can’t use it fast enough to get a new one every month. I do love this color though, so I think the ipsy match system did a good job with this one.
~NYX Cosmetics Mosaic Powder Blush (Silk) ($7): I think blushes like this are so pretty and cool that it almost pains me to use them. Please tell me someone else feels this way? With all the blush ipsy sends me, I swear, I will never have to buy blush again! I love the colors here, but it will be a while before this one gets used since I have so many others already open!
~J.Cat Beauty Sparking Cream Palette (Volta) ($4.49): There is a bit of controversy with this as no one really seems to know what to do with it? It’s chunky glitter and the J.Cat website (and ipsy) basically says it should not be used around your eyes. I’ll admit it, I totally thought it was eye shadow and didn’t even think about chunks of glitter getting in my eyes. ipsy suggests using it as a body glitter or to add a little sparkle to your lip gloss. But that’s really not my style, so I’m going to let L go to town with this and make a crazy piece of art ;). So while at first I was a tad annoyed, I am now super excited about this and can’t wait to do the project!
~Ivory Lace Highlighter Pencil by Chella ($18): This is fun. It’s like a the eraser tool on Photoshop. It “visibly lift your eyes when lightly applied on the brow bone, dark circles, blemishes and redspots.” I tested it out and I really like it! Would I have bought it onmy own? No. But that’s what subscriptions are for!
~J.Cat Eyelashes + Eyelash Glue ($3.99): False eyelashes aren’t for me (I’m still unclear on how to apply them), so I will be passing these along to a friend. Or a friend’s daughter. I’d love to know what I put in the my ipsy profile that made them think I would enjoy false eyelashes more than dry shampoo (that was what others got instead). Because I need to change that stat. I love dry shampoo!
~the Bag ($3): This bag totally reminds me of Snooki. Not that that’s bad or anything, but I do love (and totally miss) Jersey Shore, but can’t you just picture Snooki wearing a dress like this? Lime detail and all??
Bonus Item: O-Ring Stud Wrap by BaubleBar: I’m not going to lie, this is my favorite part of the June ipsy bag. I got it for referring two friends last month and I totally love it. Love. It’s something I would for sure buy on my own and will totally wear.
All totaled, the June ipsy MyGlam bag has a value $48.48. A total value for sure since ipsy is only $10/month. Still I wasn’t overly wowed by the bag. I don’t know what it is about ipsy? Is it because they release spoilers in advance so I’m not totally surprised about it? I don’t know. I do want to keep my subscription though, just for those amazing months – like May.
