My November ipsy was also one of the many packages that appeared at my door yesterday. If you aren’t familiar, ipsy sends subscribers a beautiful Glam Bag with deluxe samples and full-sized beauty products for only $10/month. I don’t always love everything in my ipsy, but for $10/month, I do think it’s well worth it.
I love the pink ipsy bubble mailers! A few subscription box companies send these and I always make sure to save and reuse them. If you have ever received a prize or a trade from me, you know I reuse boxes. I just cannot bring myself to pay for a box when I have a ton sitting around here.
The November ipsy theme was “Glam It Up” and was filled with some go-to products to help you get glam for all those upcoming holiday events and parties. ipsy sends out bag variations, via “ipsymatch”, which based on the preferences you enter when you take the ipsy quiz. There were 14 different products this month and, I believe, each subscriber received 6 of those items. I have no idea how many different variations of the bag that would make, but this is what I received:
~The Make-Up Bag: I actually really like the bag this month and actually plan to use this one in my bag. It’s kind of “delicate”, but I hope that it holds up better than I think it will.
~em michelle phan lip gallery creamy color lipstick (cabana beige) ($16.50): Michelle Phan is the founder of ipsy and this is the first time I have ever received one of her products in my bag. I have a box full of lipsticks for my SIL and this is going in it as well. I just can’t pull off lipstick like she can.
~Be A Bombshell Lip Crayon (Shameless) ($14): My picture isn’t that great, but this is actually a shimmery burgundy color and it’s perfect. I don’t love lipstick, but I do love lip crayons. I think because it reminds me of coloring? Not sure.
~Nailtini Straight Up Color Nail Lacquer (Caviar Cocktail) ($13): I already have a few silver (this is actually described as a “gunmetal grey spiked with shimmer”) polishes, but I will never turn down a more polishes!
~Pixi Beauty Bronzer (Subtly Suntouched) (~$15): I love getting bronzers in subscription boxes (probably because it doesn’t happen a ton), so I was excited when I saw this in my ipsy Glam Room. It’s a great color and it went in very nicely.
~Starlooks Gem Eye Pencil (Amethyst) ($14): Aww, eyeliner. Eyeliner and tea are probably the things I least like from subscription boxes. Luckily, my cousin (and B) love tea and I have lots of teenage cousins and friend’s daughters who happily take the eyeliner off my hands. And thats where this is going!
~HSI Argan Oil Leave-In Hair Treatment ($2.50): This is another great match for me. I love trying different brands of argan oils and hair oils in general. It doesn’t smell like much, but it made my hair shiny.
All totaled, my November ipsy bag had a value of $61, which is complete insanity since it’s only $10/month. Like I said, ipsy isn’t my favorite subscription ever, but if I end up loving half of the items and trade or give away the other half, that is fine with me. I still get my money’s worth and everything gets used!
