I'm reviewing the products I got in my Ipsy Glam bag!
Ipsy is a beauty subscription bag that arrives monthly at your door! Or in a mail box/post box that you have a key for :P Either way every month you can get 4-5 deluxe samples, to full size products mailed right to you, there is a quiz to help further determine your likes, and every month you can review products which will again, further help the ipsy crew determine what you like. By reviewing products you will also collect ipsy points, getting point will allow an ipsy subscriber to get an extra additional item in their monthly bag! Pretty neat stuff!!! I get pretty excited for beauty subscriptions... haha. So for the States the bag is $10.00 with shipping, for us AWESOME Canadian subscribers they have us pay for the shipping, fine, what ever, so it works out to be $17.00 a month. Every bag is well over the worth for the $10.00, sometimes the items are just sample sizes, or deluxe, so they would technically be free from that company or brand with a purchase, this way with out committing to the product to get a sample, try them out and fall in love! Or pass it on to a friend you know will like it! As I have done with some products I got in my first months, after reviewing products I seem to be getting things I like a lot more.
I will link my referral code here : 'Hug a kitten!'
And let's get into it!
Firstly, your bag will arrive like this! Pink, Bubble wrap!
Inside your pink bubble wrap, there will be a card, which talks about the theme, and ways to enter contests on the website( where you review products, to get points and so on) You always will receive the products in a re-usable make up bag, different every month, some cute, and some meh maybe not so cute to your personal taste. This August bag's theme is "Beauty Schooled" So this bag is more plastic like material that's more like a pencil case type look goin on. I actually like this one this month. I have been subscribed since February 2014, in case any one is pondering. And on the inside!
Top picture's item is a 'Jersey Shore Sun Mongongo Lip Conditioner' It claims to be a anti-aging lip conditioner. It retails on the website for $5.50. I do like the way this product makes my lips feel, yet, the smell...I don't agree with this smell, so after putting it on and walking around with that smell right under my nose, I just wiped it off, maybe if i put a yummy smelling lip gloss over top, such as Nyx's butter gloss, it could mask it? And I can then get my anti-aging lip effects!!! :P
Next! Bottom left hand corner, 'Free Your Mane, Reviving Spray' Full size of this product retails for $15.00 for 6.08oz. The deluxe sample size is .02oz. I'm sorry for the oz. reference, it's what the site gives me most! This product I'm iffy on, I didn't notice any difference to my mane, and not that this takes away from the product but mine was leaking all over my bag :( and other products inside the bag, which I easily wiped off of course.
Bottom right hand corner we have a 'Manna Kadar Sheer Glo' This can be used mixed in with foundation for a illuminating glow for a dewy finish, or just used as a highlight. The deluxe sample size is 0.27oz. Full size on the website is $29.00 and I can not seem to find the size. I like this product just fine, I usually tend to use powder highlights, but i can switch it up some days for sure.
To the left, to the left....uhm....hehe, we have a quad shadow set from 'Coastal Scents' I got the shades Peach Puff, Cherry Chocolate, Nude, and White Silver. Super gorgeous colors and great pigmentation. Love Coastal Scents shadows, I do have a review for their 'Revealed Palette' and their 'Revealed 2 Palette' that I will be having up shortly I hope! So yep, love that little sample, they are full sized shadows, but four of them, where Coastal Scents is known to have palettes with 188 colors and so on. Palettes range in prices depending on sizes, or sale, can be $4.95-$20.95 or other prices too I'm sure!
Last one, I was super excited to try, and tryed it this morning, and LOVED it. Is 'Urban Decays Perversion Mascara' The sample size is .01oz. and the full size is .04oz and retails for $22.00 on their website, but at 'Sephora' it is $26.00, and currently their is a deal that you get their primer and the mascara for those prices. Still I love this Mascara, I am pretty in love with the 'Too Faced Better Than Sex Mascara' as I said with the 'Tarte mascara's' review, so I pair the Urban Decay one with the Too Faced one and I think I have found my perfect mascara duo! It's a standard mascara wand brush, but I just love it, and that's all that matters to me! I find it lengthening, and volumizing, and the formula is like a flexible texture, doesn't get hard like a few mascara's we all know I am sure, it didn't flake through out the day either, so I'm just finding bonus's.
Tell me your favorite mascara! Or beauty subscription box! I will be doing a 'Memebox' review in the near future too! I have way too many reviews I want to do and am excited for!
Good Night Kittens!!!
