Ipsy ~ January 2014
The January Ipsy theme is “19 Reasons” and features “19 Reasons That 2014 Will Be Amazing” and lists a bunch of brands which I am assuming are their January brand partners? They don’t include a true information card with your products listed on it. That information can all be found in your account. Ipsy sends out bag variations, via “ipsymatch”, which based on the preferences you enter when you take the Ipsy quiz. There were 20 different products this month and, I believe, each subscriber received 5 of those items.
This months bag was kind of MEH. I guess I still have the festive holidays on my mind and seem to be going through bright and shiny withdrawals. On to the loot!
Elizabeth Mott Smooth Shadow (Pearl)
Proactiv+Mark Fading Pads I’m not sure if 4 wipes will make me notice a difference, but I love the idea of a wipe that will ” fade away post acne dark marks, reduce the appearance of fine lines and enlarged pores.” So I’ll give it ago.
MicaBeauty ~ Tinted Lip Balm in Fiesta
Briogeo ~ Don’t Despair, Repair!™ Deep Conditioning Mask
Nourish Organic ~ Lightweight Moisturizing Face Lotion. Argan and Rosewater
I paid for my own page and all opinions are my own. There are affiliate links in this post.
Lip Factory ~ January 2014
Lip Factory sends a mixture of cosmetic products, but every four months they do their “All About the Lips” box. The last one was in November, so the next one should be in March.
Price: $22/month + Free Shipping.
So far I’ve been super happy with my boxes. Let’s see what this month brings!
29 Cosmetics Preserves Skin Care Collection ~ Grape Seed Protection Sample ($4)
TEEEZ Trendy Cosmetics ~ Mysterious Crystal Eyeliner in Onyx ($16) I love love love the packaging and designs on this! Too cute!
Bodyography ~ Electric Lip Slides in Passion Sorbet ($19) Not a fan of the color.
Be A Bombshell ~ The One Stick in Plum Crazy ($16) Oh I love this color, but I’ll probably be too chicken to try it out! BTW my pictures suck and aren’t doing the colors justice.
TEEEZ ~ Island Palette Eyeshadow in Kaleidoscope (deep purple). Again with this brand! I want more!
Needless to say I’m super happy with this month’s goodies.

Luna For You ~ January 2014
Luna For You is a new (only a few months old) subscription service that delivers 5-6 beauty products. They are based out of New Jersey.
The Price: $9.99 + Free shipping
This is my first box.
Hard Candy ~ Eye Tattoo animal eyeshadow appliques. Contains 3 sets
Wet & Wild ~ Bronzer Brush – no lid 🙁
LOL ~ Bronzing Powder. I’ve never heard of this company.
Mary Kate & Ashley ~ Illumination Mascara.
elf ~ Conditioning Balm in Strawberry Cream. Smells nice but looks too waxy.
I’m not too impressed with this box. Something screams DOLLAR STORE. The paper that listed the items it contained had several spelling errors. Come to think about it, so did their website.
I’ll give it one more month.

Purr-Packs ~ January 2014
Purr-Packs is a new cat treat/toy subscription box. There are a range and variety of packages. This is from their site:
Is Purr-Packs a subscription-only service?No, we have options for everyone. Although our 3-month and 6-month scheduled deliveries are the best value, you cna simply order a single Purr-Pack as well.How many items are included in each Purr-Pack?Each Purr-Pack container is chock-a-block full of fun toys, grooming supplies, fashion items and delicious treats. The actual number varies based on the unique value and size of each item inside. On average, a budget Teaser Pack includes 4-6 items, while our larger packs can contain anywhere from 7-15 items.
I got the teaser pack. $29.99 + free shipping
Here Lucien is showing you what all my furkids got in their box.
Quick-Bags from Litterpal
Pack of mice and balls.
Greenies!!! Seafood flavor
A black cat color
(hidden behind Lucien’s paw) a pet brush, double sided.
Hidden under all these goodies was a HUGE cat scratch pad. My kitties LOVE LOVE LOVE these.
All 5 of my cats seemed to enjoy all the loot. I think I’ll give it another try.
BTW Purr-Packs also supports animals in need, donating 10-15% of their annual proceeds to rescue and animal welfare organizations across the country.
