October Ipsy My Glam Review

Ipsy is a fun little subscription.  It’s only $10.00 a month and you get an assortment of samples and full size beauty products.  One of my favorite things about Ipsy, is everything comes in a cute beauty bag.  This month’s theme was the Art of Beauty.   Art of Beauty First Look H2O Plus Face Oasis Hydrating Treatment $5.00 (estimate)  I love this product.  It moisturizes so deeply and leaves my skin silky smooth.  I am going to buy this in the full size ($36.00).  This is a big hit with other too.  It is rated a 4.8 out of 5 on the H2O website with 83 reviews. Ofra Sultry Lipgloss and Plumper $12.95  I was excited to see a full size product.  This adds some shine and a bit of color.  This is a great product. Zoya Nail Polish in Mason $8.00  This is my first Zoya nail polish.  I have been wanting to try them for awhile.  This is a big flashy for my finger nails, so I am going to use it for a pedicure.
