June Ipsy Review
Time to get back into the swing of things with some reviews! I thought I'd jump back in with one of my fav subs and fav sub categories! The makeup/beauty box Ipsy! May's bag was amazing so I knew it'd be hard to compete but I was still excited to see what I would get!
Ipsy:
Type: Beauty Box
Cost: $10/month includes shipping
What is it?: Created by some of the top beauty bloggers/youtubers around, Ipsy subscribers receive a Glam Bag (a cute makeup bag) monthly with deluxe samples and full-size make-up products (usually 4-5 products). Ipsy sends out the same bag to everyone every month with some small differences usually based off of the Beauty Quiz you take when you sign up. Ipsy gives you a forum to load videos and pictures featuring looks made with your Glam Bag. Ipsy now has a referral points for extra goodies so if you sign up please use my link!! Know that Ipsy has a waitlist right now.
In some major click slippage- I deleted my pink envelope pics so you'll have to settle for this peek shot.
My goodies! The bag, my extra, and the card. No info usually with Ipsy just discounts!
The bag and first peek! People loved this neon/print combo bag. Not my style but I'll use it. They are ALL used! I have like 6 with me on this trip. Price: $2
The goods.
J.cat Beauty- Sparkling Cream Palette: I got palette SCP106 Volta which I think all Ipsy subscribers got. Now at first look you think wow, 5 eyeshadows which are great for some striking night eyes in a $10 sub... well, no. These are NOT eyeshadows and we were told not to use them on your eyes unless you are super cautious cause you can get glitter in your eyes. This is to add glitter on your face and body. Uh, ok. Probably not gonna get used at all. Gonna save for Halloween or something costume-y but otherwise bleh. Price: $4.49
NYX Rouge Cream Blush in Natural: This is an awesome color! I don't usually use cream blushes... in fact, this is my only one right now. It looks great and goes on really easily. My problem with cream blushes has been their staying power so I'll see how this does. Excited to add this to my giant blush collection though! I was a little jealous of Ipsy subscribers who got the mosaic blushes but I can't complain about my full-size blush. Price: $6
Chella- Ivory Lace Highlighter: I was SOO excited about this! I've been playing with highlighters a lot more recently but I didn't have a highlighter pencil! I'm used to powders and I think this will be perfect for my eye area. Score. I obviously wanted it for around my brow but it's great to help diminish dark circles and redness too. Price: $18
Starlooks- Lip Pencil in Bare: I just bought two new nude-ish lip pencils from Bare Escentuals but I'm all about trying new ones and this one is a bit of a new color for me. Lip Pencils are great and if you don't know how to use them properly, look it up, ask for help, etc since they are magical for lips. I've wanted to try Starlooks' subscription box for awhile so this is like a sneak peek to see if I like the brand or not. Price: $12
Cailyn- Line Fix Gel Eyeliner in Purple: Ipsy is actually who turned me on to gel pot eyeliners and my favorite brand in still Mica which I got from Ipsy. This is my second Cailyn Gel pot 3-in-1 (the other is black) and it's a product I admit I like. Purple is actually a great eyeliner for those with blue eyes (I used to exclusively wear a dark purple since it brought out my blue and still looked like black liner) so this will get used at times. Some people got fake eyelashes or dry shampoo instead and I love what I got of the three choices. I rarely wear fake eyelashes and I already have amazing dry shampoo! Price: $21
EXTRA!
BaubleBar bracelet: I got this beauty because of you all!!! Two people used my referral link so I got a bracelet from BaubleBar in my June bar! Score! I admit, I really wanted the white one I saw some people got but I like the bracelet, it fits, and I have an outfit or two that this will look great with. PLUS I got a 15% off code to BaubleBar... tempting. Granted, if you go to Baublebar.com you can sign up to get a 15% off code if you give them your e-mail. Still though, free beautiful bracelet! Price: ~$12
Verdict: Sans my free bracelet, this month's Ipsy Glam Bag was valued at $63.49! Huge number! I think Ipsy gives you the biggest bang for your buck right now when it comes to makeup subscriptions and it is still one of my all-time favs. That being said, this month was pretty meh to me. The palette is a bit worthless and the pencils and liner are things I'll use but not super often. The blush is probably the best thing for me and my makeup hoard but it's definitely not a color I would wear daily. I do like the color but it's too dull to wear daily with my super fair skin (aka it wouldn't show up- I need more pink in a everyday blush). An ok bag, but not my fav...
I'll post spoilers if I ever have time since I'm so behind in reviews but Ipsy's July bag is already looking amazing! Everyone will be getting benetint from Benefit which I finally got recently and it is amazing as everyone claims. It also looks like a lip tint will be in the bag which looks like it is from Pop Beauty and my lip stain from them is phenomenal!
That's all for now! What'd you all think of your Glam Bags?
