Subscription Box Reviews

Archive for the ‘Glam Bag’ Category

This is my second month of IPSY (formerly My Glam).  This subscription is $10 a month with free shipping. Members receive a beautiful Glam Bag with 4-5 deluxe samples and full-sized beauty products. It’s delivered in a cute pink puffy mailer. This month’s theme is “Super Stars”.

The bag this month is a Navy plain little make up bag. Nothing to exciting actually. On the bag is my fabulous London Soho Eyeliner Brush. I am going to LOVE this brush! Brush is $8-10

Here is the rest of my goodies.

Big Sexy Hairspray ~ Spray and Play hairspray. $6

Josie Maran Argan Oil ~ I have so much of these argan oils, from different companies, but I shouldn’t whine. It’s expensive. I’m yet to try any of them though. Sample $4.65

Nailtini ~ Nail Polish. “Frappe” a nude shade. I’m not into nudes, but I tried this one anyway cuz I was bored. I’m not much for the shade, but I’m impressed at how fast and smooth it dried! I’m definably going to look into different shades from this company. Full Size $13

Pacifica Body Butter ~ Tuscan Blood Orange. This is what made the entire bag for me. I love love love the scent. It’s not too overly citrusy.  The texture is amazing and it soaks in nicely. $7

I put the links directly to the company, (for information purposes) but if you buy via the IPSY website, you can get some nice discounts!

I paid for this bag and formed my own opinions on it’s contents.

Ta-Dah! Another new subscription for me! This one is from IPSY (formerly My Glam) This subscription is $10 a month with free shipping. Members receive a beautiful Glam Bag with 4-5 deluxe samples and full-sized beauty products. It’s delivered in a cute pink puffy mailer. Here is what I got.

The bag this month is a silver flat bottomed make up bag.  The theme this month is Haute Holiday. It contained the following…

Mirabella Prime – Silky, smooth, clear formula primer slides on the skin creating the perfect base for any Mirabella foundation. Plus it’s paraben-free!
Mai Couture Highlighter Papier – Add radiance and glow to desired areas of face and body.  This shimmer highlighter paper will add luminosity to any dull skin.
be a bombshell Lip Gloss in Hot Mess – The Bombshell Lipgloss formula is long-lasting and will send whistles your way all day long.
NYX Cosmetics Loose Pearl Shadow – Ultra-shimmering loose shadow powders that can be used on eyes, cheeks, even lips. These finely-milled mineral eye shadows are high-impact, long-lasting—and a little addictive.
Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencil – Creamy, forever-lasting, award-winning and waterproof.

I’m in love with everything, including the bag, except the lip gloss. The texture is great and it feels like it will last, but the color makes me look like a clown. 🙁

Anyway.. Per other websites the value of this bag is around $73.

When are you going to sign up?

Ipsy is similar to Birchbox in that it is a subscription service that specializes in cosmetic products. Like Birchbox, for $10 per month you get four to five products in a cute little cosmetic bag. Items may range from full-sized beauty products to deluxe-sized samples. Unlike most boxes there are no special perks for members such as points or referral bonuses.

I recently signed up for this subscription and as soon as I get my first box I’ll share with you all. 🙂
