Ipsy Spoiler 4: January 2014

Ipsy has released Ipsy Spoiler 4 for the January Bag.  There are 10 products in this picture.  Every bag will have at lease two of the products pictured.  It looks like this bag will be focused more on skin/body care than actual makeup. Here are some of the products I could recognize: 1.  Willa on the go lavender facial wipes 2.  Proactive product What other brands do you see?

December Ipsy Review

Ipsy is a great subscription for people who love trying new beauty and makeup items.  It is only $10.00 a month and you get about 5 items in a great beauty bag.  You fill out a survey about your makeup preferences and then Ipsy sends a bag geared to your preferences.  Once you get your bag, you can review your items online, and tell Ipsy what you think. I love the beauty bags and how well they can be used for so many things.  I have some in my purse and I use some for travel.  I have found some great new make up items from getting Ipsy.  If you are interested in trying Ipsy, you can click here to sign up. The envelope  I love Ipsy’s envelopes.  They are very study and can be reused to ship other things. First Look  I love the black bag this month.  It could be used as a tiny purse or just a glam make up bag in your purse.  I used some points to buy a beauty blender. Celebration This month’s Ipsy theme was Celebration NYX Extra Creamy Round Lipstick $4.00  I will wear this will a brighter shade of lipstick to add a little shimmer.  It applies very smoothly. Be A Bombshell The One Stick Flustered $16.00  This is my favorite product in the bag.  It can be used as eye shadow, blush or lipstick!  This is a great color POP Beauty Bright Up Your Life Eye Shadow Trio Naturally Bare $7.20 I would prefer the grey trio but this is a nice neutral palette that will look great on Mirabella Eye Blender Brush $27.00  This is a great eye shadow blending brush.  It doesn’t loose it’s bristles when you use it and blends shadow very well.  I can’t believe Ipsy included a $27.00 brush in the bagContinue Reading

November Ipsy Review

Ipsy is one of my fun subscriptions.  Ipsy sends out a Glam Bag full of full size and sample beauty products, for $10.00 a month.  You fill out a survey about your makeup preferences and then Ipsy sends a bag geared to your preferences.  Once you get your bag, you can review your items online, and tell Ipsy what you thing.  I love the reusable bags, because they are always so cute and functional. The Bag I say this every time, but I love the Ipsy envelopes. This month’s theme is “Glam is Up” You can take a picture of your bag this month and share it on Instagram or Facebook, to try to win a 1 year Glam Bag subscription Em Flyer Em is giving 30% percent off to Ipsy subscribers on the emconsmetics.com/ipsy by using the code ipsy30 Pixi Beauty Bronzer Subtly Suntouched $18.00 I am not sure if I am going to try this.  I am VERY pale and this looks pretty dark.  I may try to trade this for something else. Starlooks Eye Pencil in Topaz $14.00 I always wear black eyeliner, but I will wear this.  This is fun silver color.  I am not brave enough to rock some wild eyeliners, so the silver is perfect. Em Michelle Phan Lash Gallery Mascara $20.00 This is part of the new line Em, by Michelle Phan.  This mascara has a scoop brush that lifts and curls lashes, as it lengthens.  This is smudge proof and smear proof, that lengthens without clumping.  Honestly, I was a bit disappointing that I received mascara.  I would rather have eye shadow, lip gloss or blush.  It is nice mascara, just not exciting. Be a Bombshell Lip Crayon in Hot Dam* $14.00 This is an exciting red color.  This is reserved for date night, butContinue Reading
