I'm back!!! Sorry for the lack in posts but it was a very busy month and I didn't have time to take pictures of anything. So today, I was finally able to get caught up and take pics of stuff! So, after my last month's Glossy Box and talking to some other people I decided to go ahead and sign up for Ipsy. Ipsy is a monthly subscription service that is $10 a month. Ipsy used to be called My Glam which I used to get but after many horrible bags with them I canceled. Well, since they have become Ipsy they have certainly picked it up. I've been debating for the last couple of months on if I should do it again and finally gave in. I did get this bag in the middle of the month but still wanted to share what I got. I was very impressed with this bag!!
Here is what is inside:
The first item I got was:
Big Sexy Hair Weather Proof Humidity Resistant Spray
I haven't tried this yet and it hasn't been humid here so there really hasn't been a need. It does have a fine mist stray to it. I'll have to give it a whirl next time the weather gets crazy!
Value: $3 - Total Value: $3.00
Pop Beauty Pouty Pop Crayon in Coral Crush
Swatch:
I haven't used this until today because I forgot about it. But the color is nice, but it's called Coral Crush and I think it's more of a pinky coral than a true coral. It looks more pink on me than coral. It smells minty and goes on really smooth. It is a twist up crayon which is great. This is very similar to the Revlon balm stains and the Cover Girl Gloss balms. It does feel hydrating on the lips, which is nice. But I haven't worn it long enough to tell you about the wear of them.
Value: $4.17 - Total Value: $7.16
BH Cosmetics California Collection Eye Shadow sample
Colors - Hollywood (Purple), San Francisco (Bronze), Malibu (Gold)
These eye shadows are samples that were pulled from 3 different palettes that BH Cosmetics sells. Hollywood is a matte purple, San Francisco is a light bronze, and Malibu is a yellow gold. These eye shadows are decent quality. They took a little bit to build up to a good pigmentation. I haven't tested the wear of these shadows yet, but I've heard good things about this brand.
Swatches:
Value: $1.50 (Not sure how to calculate this, value of a whole palette right now is $8.95) - Total Value: $8.67
Nailtini Nail Lacquer in Mai Tai
I've never heard of this brand before, but the name is very creative. The Mai Tai color is said to be a vibrant sunrise coral. It is a very orangy coral. When I did a swatch on a nail wheel it was opaque in 1 coat. I really like the packaging on this product. The brush on the polish is a wider brush, which I like. It made it really easy to put a coat on in only 2 swipes. I haven't worn this color on my nails yet because again this bag was put away and I forgot about it. I will have to rock this polish soon though. Be sure to follow me on Instagram to see pics of it on my nails when I do.
Value: $13 - Total Value: $21.67
The last item I got was:
Coola Mineral Sunscreen SPF 20 for Face
I again haven't used this, but that's because really has been no need for me to wear it. I would love for the sun to be out in full force here in the WI, so I can use it!! I've heard good things about this sunscreen especially since it's organic and all natural.
Value: $5.04 (This is some pricey sunscreen) - Total Value: $26.71
Overall, I am very impressed with my first Ipsy bag! There are some products in the bag that I've been wanting to try. The value is there in the bag since I paid $10 and I approximated the value to be $26.71. My brother's girlfriend also is subscribed to this service and she got the exact same thing as me. I think we were both excited about this bag. I'm going to continue my service for now and we will see how it goes. You can sign up or read more about Ipsy here.
Let me know if you have any questions!
THANK YOU so much for reading!!!
