IPSY November 2014

Hello! This is going to be my last IPSY post. I have decided to cancel my subscription because IPSY just isn’t wow-ing me anymore. I really just wasn’t using all of the products and I felt like it was a waste. I have subscribed to Julep Maven, and have a post about that here. I think Julep Maven will be a better box for me!

Anyway. Onto the IPSY bag!

If you don’t know, IPSY is a beauty sample subscription box where you pay $10 a month (you can cancel anytime) and they send you a grab bag full of goodies based on your profile every month. Most of the time they send full size products! The value of what is in the box is always over $10, and it’s a great way to try out new products!

This month’s theme is “Girl Meets Glitter” and came with 5 products in this glittery silver bag with hot pink trim. My 3-year old has claimed this bag and already has her crayons in it.

– Marc Anthony Oil of Morocco Argan Oil Hairspray 1.5oz Value $2.99
– Rouge Underground Makeup Sealant 0.5oz Value $3

This is a pretty good size can of hairspray, and I really like the scent of it. I have used it already and it seems to hold my curls well. It’s a winner! Now, I’m not a fan of setting sprays. I usually don’t have a problem with my makeup lasting throughout the day, so I don’t really use them. I will save this for a special occasion. It’s in a nice size bottle, perfect for travel.

– J Cat Beauty Wonder Lip Paint in Mad Splatter FULL SIZE Value $4.99
– Elizabeth Mott You’re So Fine Waterproof Liquid Liner in Glitterati FULL SIZE Value $17.99
– It Cosmetics Bye Bye Undereye in
Neutral Medium 0.11oz value $9

I really like this lip paint. It reminds me of the OCC Lip Tars, where you only need a tiny bit, and lasts all day long. It’s a really pretty berry color too. Hmm. This liner is black, but it has chunks of silver glitter in it. I don’t usually like liquid liners with glitter in them, but maybe I will give this a shot on NYE. Ok, so this IT Cosmetics sample did not make me happy. I was so excited (so excited) when I saw this in the bag. And then I saw the shade. IPSY – if you are reading this – you should know that not everyone subscribed has the same skintone. Why would you even send this out? This sample is WAY too dark for me. Thanksssss.

So, I paid $10 for this box, and I received about $38 worth of products. I do really like the hairspray and lip paint, so I’m excited to use those.

What did you get in your bag?

Thanks for reading!
