So this is pretty much late because I signed up late and got a late
bag. That's a lot of "late's" in that sentence huh? Anyway, I have to
say that I'm really excited for this months bag. I've been looking up
Ipsy's recent bags and honestly I haven't really been impressed with
their size of samples - hence why I've never subbed. But this bag is
honestly just - wow. Much more than you could expect from a bag with a
$10 price tag.
A Little History:
Ipsy is a monthly beauty subscription started by Michelle Phan several years ago. For $10, you get several sample - full sized items. Here's what's in the bag:
Mirabella Lipstick $22: This is one of the reasons I subbed. A full sized lipstick in a beauty bag? I could not say no. The color I received was a sheer pale nude color. When swatched on my skin, it looked like a glossy sheen than anything else. When on my lips, it completely washed me out. But the formula was absolutely divine. Very moisturizing, hydrating, and comfortable to wear. I was so tempted to buy more, I actually did look. But they're pretty hard to come by right now.
Pacifica Perfume in Island Vanilla:
A full sized perfume roll-on in the scent Island Vanilla. As it's name implies, it smells like vanilla. I kind of wish I got a different scent and I'm not really much of a vanilla person. I would've preferred the more floral Tahitian Gardenia but it's okay.
Zoya Nail Polish:
This was the second reason I subbed this month. This Zoya Nail polish pretty much pays for the whole thing itself. And full sized too! I received a nude pink color which is great because I don't have a nude pink nail polish yet.
Concealer in Yaby:
I tried this out the other day and while it is full coverage, it's simply too light for my skin tone.
Anastasia Brow Gel:
I've actually recently finished a tube of this so this was a nice addition to the collection. The gel is clear and provides enough hold for unruly stray brows.
Overall:
I'm very pleased with this bag. I've started using a lot of the products and the makeup bag itself is pretty cute! It's size is perfect for throwing into a medium sized purse. For $10, I received several full sized items, many of which I'll be using.

This months bag really was a great deal. Yeah, I can't wait to try on the zoya nail polish. Maybe when I get time sometime this week. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Melli! Yeah, I think the other scent was Tahitian Gardenia which I was thinking of purchasing before. But it's okay. I think I have too many perfumes anyway.
ReplyDeleteYup! I believe next month they're including one full sized NYX blush. If you're a fan of NYX, it might be worth a try. :)
ReplyDeleteOoooh good idea! I think it'll match you perfectly!!! LMK if you want it. :) I'll be glad to give it to you. Oh and if you want the Vanilla Pacifica too, lmk.
ReplyDeleteI think next months bag is featuring NYX blushes. :)
ReplyDeleteAwww shucks, thanks. :)
ReplyDeleteLol, will do! I just haven't had time right now, but sometime in the future, I'll show a swatch.
ReplyDeleteOMG YOU ARE THE BESTest
ReplyDeletethe polish is so pretty. It seems like a lot of people have gotten the wrong coloured concealer. But i do like the variety of products in this month's bag (:
ReplyDeleteI just cancelled my glam bag last month. I kind of regret it now looking at the things you received! Thanks for the post. I may re-subscribe!
ReplyDeleteGuess who has a lighter skin tone than you and who loves concealer? ME lol. Haha jk. OMG would love to find out how the vanilla Pacifica smells like.
ReplyDeleteI am def thinking about it! This month's does seem well worth it.
ReplyDeleteAhh, I wish I got one of the perfumes. Like you, I'm not a fan of vanilla scents, but I would've loved a fruity or floral scent. Great review and pics! :)

This looks like such a great bag! You have to show us how that nail polish looks.
ReplyDeleteI agree. I think it's pretty hard though, trying to match everyone up. I love this months bag though.
