It’s IPSY time! This month’s theme is Beauty Candy.  I’m so-so on this month’s bag. The color is more springish then fall, but then again it does make you think of candy. ;-P

PRICE $10/month

Figs & Rouge ~ ($6) Shea Butter Enriched Limited Edition Hand Creams are deliciously fragrant & indulgent. I got Mango Mandarin.

Épicé International ~ ($9) Purifying Exfoliant. A unique exfoliant which removes excess dirt and dead skin cells all while activating collagen production and hydrating your skin.

Nicole by OPI ~ ($5.99) Nail Laquer in Feeling Very Cherry. LOVE IT!

ModelCo ~ ($20) VOLUMEYES Extreme Black Mascara. The intensely black, volumizing mascara separates, coats and curls each lash to voluptuous perfection. One coat and lashes are defined. Two coats and lashes are even more luscious, curled and dramatic.

Starlooks ~ Lip Gloss in Guilty Pleasure ($??)

I actually liked everything in this bag. Sizes and all. 🙂

I paid for this bag and all opinions are mine. ~D

It’s IPSY time! This month’s theme is Street Style.  I must say I love the bag. It’s so soft!

Pacifica ~ Natural Water-Proof Eye Pencil ($11)

Hikari ~ Lipstick  Cabernet ($13)

Not a bad bag, just not anything I’d use.

I paid for this bag and all opinions are mine. ~D

This month’s IPSY theme is Street Style. I must say I LOVE the bag. It’s so soft. The contents on the other hand….

Crown Brush ~ Infinity Shadow/Crease Duet Brush. I’m one of the weirdos that don’t use brushess

Hikari ~ Lipstick. The shade is Cabernet. Not my style. :-/

Pacifica  ~ Natural Water-Proof Eye Pencil I LOVE Pacificia. I just wish the pencil was a bit bigger. I love the shade too!

LeeAnni Eco ~ 3-in-1 Revolution Light. I might like this. I feels real smooth and is supposed to highlight.

Mitchell and Peach  ~ Luxury Hand Cream. I’m not sure I like the smell. Kind of soapy.

Expert for the the bag this was another MEH bag. Because I’m a sucker for the holidays I MIGHT KEEP IT UNTIL January, then I’m done.

What did you think of this bag, that used to come the first week of the month.

I paid for this bad and all opinions are mine. ~D

It’s IPSY time! This month’s theme is Beauty Schooled.  Not impressed.

I knew it was going to be bad when I opened my pink envelope and the bag was smooched small. At first I thought it was empty!!

Manna Kadar Cosmetics ~ Sheer Glo ($7.83) I got this in another bag recently and it did not blend well on me. So bummed.

Lord & Berry  ~ Silk Kajal Kohl Eye Pencil. This is soo tiny. Not even going to attempt to use. Seriously?

Jersey Shore Sun ~ Mongongo Lip Conditioner ($5.50)

Urban Decay ~ Perversion Mascara ($5.50) meh

GLAMGLOW ~ YOUTHMUD® TINGLEXFOLIATE Treatment  ($10.87) 15 g. The only thing I like in this bag. I love this actually. I think I’m the last person on earth who hasn’t tried GlamGlow.

The value is high, but I still feel I got hosed. 🙁

I sadly paid for this bag and all opinions are mine. There are referral links in this post. ~D

It’s IPSY time! This month’s theme is Sensationally Sunkissed. “Here comes the sun and a Glam Bag full of beauty products so good that even the sun would worship it. There isn’t a gray cloud in sight this summer as we give you an amazing selection of brands and products fit to help keep you looking your best during summer’s brightest days and warm long nights.”

At only $10.00 a month, you get a glam bag full of 4-5 beauty items.  This is just an amazing deal!  The bags are always super cute too!

You fill out a survey about your makeup preferences and then IPSY sends a bag geared to your preferences.  Once you get your bag, you can review your items online, and tell IPSY what you think.  When you complete reviews, you earn points, which can be redeemed for special items.

Here is this months bag: A super cute leather pink bag

bareMinerals READY 2.0 Eyeshadow The lighter colour is “Muse” and the darker one is “Passion”. LOVE THEM!

Elizabeth Mott Tints & Sass  0.35 oz I’m not a stain girl so this will be swapped. It just doesn’t work for my skin tone.

Hang Ten ~ Dark Tanning Oil SPF 08 I don’t tan. :-/

wHet ~ Nail Polish in Facetious, I love the color! I love deep shades

POP Beauty ~ Sunkissed Bronzer I don’t use bronzer.

So basically this month was a bust for me. Oh well. There is always next month.

I paid for this bag and all opinions are my own. ~D

It’s IPSY time! This month’s theme is “Pretty In Paradise” and once again I love the bag! It was designed by Rebecca Minkoff. I learned that there were 16 product variations and each subscriber got five products this month.

Marc Anthony ~ Dream Waves Beach Spray. I think I’m one of the few girls in the world that could care less about beach waves. This is going in my trade pile.

NYX ~ Butter Gloss, Creme Brulee’. I got this in another sub last month and surprisingly like it. I’m glad I got a different shade to play with.

OFRA ~ Universal Eyebrow pencil.

Realtree ~ eau de parfum for her. This reminds me of something and I can’t think of what it is. It’s driving me crazy. I like it though. 🙂 Per the website “it opens up with the sweet taste of pomegranate, a hint of persimmon and an exotic scent of orchids.” I want the full size!

Be A Bombshell ~ Lash out Mascara in Black  OMG it smells sooooooooooo bad. I had to toss it. It made my eyes water. NOT. EVEN. JOKING! I was really excited about this too. I’m burnt out on lip crayons and wanted to try other products from Be A Bombshell.

The Realtree was the winner this month and made up for the stinky mascara. YES it’s that good!

IPSY for May was another FAB box for me. The theme: “Fresh Picks.”

I must say I do like the bag. It’s a sturdy cute canvas bag. No plastic/vinyl crap!

SWISSCO ~ Electroplated Eyelash Curler. IT’S PURPLE! YaY! 🙂

Pacifica  ~ Coconut infused Mineral Eyeshadow Duo #1 (Celestial & Opal). I so love these colors!  I love Pacifica products and I am always happy to get them.

Boo-Boo Cover Up ~ For your BODY. Fabulous ingredients! Contains aloe, chamomile, green tea, tea tree oil and vitamin E. Medium shade matches most skin tones.

Hang Ten ~ Classic Sport SPF50 Sunscreen. It will fit nicely in my go bag.

Eva NYC ~ Therapy Session Hair Mask. Uhhh I like the smell?

I don’t think I’ve mentioned this before, but IPSY always offers discounts on all products in your page. I mean, if you buy the full size item.

IPSY for April renews my love for this bag. First of all the bag is super cute and one I’ll totally use! Oh and the theme: “Beauty Rocks”. INDEED

Sexy Hair ~ Root Pump Volumizing Spray Mousse

Cailyn ~ Tinted Lip Balm in “Apple Pink”. It’s not totally pink and I actually like it. This will be the FIRST Cailyn product I’ll keep and actually try! YaY It’s about time!

Urban Decay ~ 24/7 Velvet Glide-On Eye Pencil. Travel size. Not a bad size really. It will last quite a while for me.

City Color~ White Gold Shadow & Highlight Mousse. It’s more of a white shimmer, not gold.  WOW This is new new for me and I’m totally excited to try it! It’s cruelty free too! THANK YOU!

dr. brandt®~ microdermabrasion ~ Skin exfoliant.

YaY IPSY! You are awesome this month and I will use everything INCLUDING my bag!

I paid for this bag myself and all opinions are mine. There are referral links in this post.~ D

IPSY  for March is here.  The theme is  Destination Beauty.  I love love love the bag this month!

Be a Bombshell ~ Bora Bora Eyeshadow Quad. Exciting colors! I can’t wait to try them.

Vita Liberata ~ pHenomenal 2-3 Week Tan Lotion. I don’t tan.

Chella ~ Indigo Blue Eyeliner. I love Chella, but this color is not for me.

bareMinerals ~Marvelous Moxie™ Lipstick in Get Ready. The shade is not for me.

So aside from the bag and the eyeshadow, this month was a bust. 🙁 I guess I didn’t love it so much after all. *sigh*
