ipsy
Cost: $10/month
Ships To: United States and Canada including overseas military installations via DHL.
Another one of the monthly subscriptions that arrived when I was away was my July 2014 ipsy bag. I don’t know if it’s more fun to have a giant stack of packages to open at once or if it’s better to have a steady flow of boxes coming in daily. I think I might like them both equally ;).
If you aren’t familiar, ipsy is $10/month and sends its members a beautiful Glam Bag with 4-6 deluxe samples and full-sized beauty products. Their bags always have an incredible value (well over the $10 cost) and I am always amazed at how they do it.
ipsy ships via DHL Global Mail and took five days to arrive to me. That seems to be about the norm for them.
The July 2014 ipsy Glam Bag them was “Sensationally Sunkissed” and included the following products to keep you looking your best during summer’s brightest days and warm long nights:
~bareMinerals 5-in-1 BB Advanced Performance Cream Eyeshadow Broad Spectrum SPF 15 ($5.40): Super cool. I love how cream shadows go on and how different they are from traditional (or traditional to me anyway) pressed shadows.
~Elizabeth Mott Tints & Sass ($22.99 for .35oz): My bag was missing this ;(. I haven’t e-mailed ipsy yet, but I am sure they will take care of it. I think this was the item I was most excited for in my bag this month too!
~Pur~lisse pur~protect Essential Daily Moisturizer spf 30 ($16.18): This is another product I am seeing everywhere lately. This will be the one I use for traveling. It’s not my favorite pur~lisse product (I am a big fan of their lip balm), but it’s right up there!
~Sexy Hair Get Layered Flash Dry Thickening Hairspray ($2.91): I was really excited to get this in my ipsy, but I am not totally sure why. I have so many hair sprays I need to use up first so I totally don’t “need” this. But still, I am happy I received it.
~wHet Nail Polish in Facetious ($9): LOVE! Because nail polish is exactly what I need. LOL! If you put a nail polish in a box, chances are I am going to like it. I actually almost bought a bag this color yesterday, but I went with hot pink instead.
~The Bag: I think ipsy has been stepping it up big time with their bags lately. I have been super happy with the last few and this one is adorable as well. I like the scallop trim on the side and think it will be a great little pouch for my beach bag.
All totaled (not including the Elizabeth & Sass sample) I came up with a value of $33.49 for my July 2014 ipsy Glam Bag. I would have included the sample, it would have been a larger value, but I wasn’t totally sure what size that sample was. Even without it (but assuming it’s coming), I was really pleased with my bag this month and even more so when I saw what some of the other products in this month’s box were. Although I wouldn’t have minded that Benefit mascara or the Models Own polish! I can always trade for that though. I believe there were 21 different products that went out and everyone received 5?
