Much to my surprise, my December ipsy My Glam bag arrived today! I totally wasn’t expecting it so it made it even more fun when it did arrive. If you aren’t familiar, ipsy sends subscribers a beautiful Glam Bag with deluxe samples and full-sized beauty products for only $10/month.
ipsy ships via DHL Global Mail, which means it starts out with DHL and then ends up being delivered by USPS. How long it will take to arrive each month is really anyone’s guess. I think some months it’s taken a week or two whereas this month took like 4 days!
The December ipsy My Glam Bag theme is “Celebration” and includes items to make you glamorous no matter what you are celebrating! ipsy sends out bag variations, via “ipsymatch”, which based on the preferences you enter when you take the ipsy quiz. There were 13 different products this month and, I believe, each subscriber received 5 of those items. I have no idea how many different variations of the bag that would make, but this is what I received:
~Pop Beauty Bright Up Your Life Eye Shadow Trio (Naturally Bare) ($7.20): I don’t think these colors could be any more perfect for me to tell you the truth. I don’t *need* more shadows (and likely won’t for the next 20 years), but I love these colors so I am thrilled with this.
~Be A Bombshell The One Stick (Girl Crush) ($16): This is an all-in-one shadow, lip gloss and cheek tint. And I love this too. “Girl Crush” is a pearlescent light pink and it’s enough, without being too much if that makes sense!
~Nicka K New York Nail Color ($4.99): I had seen some of the colors and was like meh. But when I opened it up and saw this red I was excited! I think it’s my favorite of the colors I have seen / heard of being sent out.
~NYX Extra Creamy Round Lipstick (B52) ($4): This is the only item this month that I am like so-so about. I just don’t do lipstick. Some people love it, but I love gloss. This will be nice for my sister-in-law who gets all my lipsticks though (I don’t think she’ll ever have to buy lipstick again).
~Demeter Snow roll-On Perfume ($10): Pretty sure I couldn’t be more excited about this! I logged onto my ipsy account when I heard the December bags were posted and pretty much gasped when I saw that I had gotten the Demeter! SO EXCITED! I’m not sure it smells like snow, but I love it. Yay!!
Bonus Item (redeemed from referral points) (~$20): This month’s bonus item, which I used my points I get from referrals (I believe 4 referrals = one gift) was a BeautyBlender and sample size cleanser! I have one already and I love it, so when I saw that this was an option for the points, I jumped on it!
All totaled, NOT including the value of the referral gift, my December ipsy bag had a value of $42.19. Including the gift, it had a value of $62.19! Insanity! I LOVED this month and think it was one of my favorites in a long time! Had I not gotten the Demeter I likely would have thought otherwise!
