My New Obsession: IPSY!

What is Ipsy? Ipsy is a monthly subscription bag that costs $10 a month! Yes, only $10 a month - tax and shipping included!

Each month Ipsy sends you a "Glam Bag" with 4-5 highend beauty products to try! How fun is that?! You take a beauty quiz to determine what products you like most and your bag is tailored to fit YOU! Each month after you have received your items you can go online and rate the products you got, which will then further help mold your next bag more to your liking. Make sense? I have only been an Ipsy subscriber for two months, but I have loved my bags both months and I think it's well worth the $10! Let me show you what I have gotten in each bag so far  . . .

March:

I only got four products in my March bag and here is what I got . . .

1. Nicole by OPI textured nail polish by the color "On What Grounds" I really love this color and the texture. It lasts a long time- OPI is by far my favorite nail polish brand! (Retails for $8)
2. Deluxe sample of Moxie Bare Minerals lip stick in the shade "Get Ready" - SO smooths and this last hours! (The retail price of the fullsize lipstick is $18)
3. Be a Bombshell eyeshadow quad in the shade Bora Bora - great pigment, great colors for blue or brown eyes. (Retails for $16)
4. Pixi Flawless Beauty Primer - I gave this primer to Katie, as it is too hydrating for my already well hydrated skin, so I can't say how good it is, but it's sure pricey!  (Travel size retails for $9 at Target)

Total Bag Retail Value . . . $33 (without the lipstick, as I have no idea on how much that would be in a sample size) I would say it's close to $40 in value for only $10! :o)

April:  

There were five items in my Ipsy bag in this month! They were:

1. Urban Decay 24/7 deluxe sample size in the shade Velvet - This is an amazing eyeliner, great for smugging! The retail for the fullsize is $20.
2. St. Tropez (sample size) face tanner - I haven't used this yet, as I am always hesitant to put new products on my face, as I have a tendency to break out. I plan to try this out closer to summer! The retail for the fullsize is $18
3. Cailyn Tinted Lip Balm with brush- fullsize! This lip balm has fantastic pigment! It lasts hours without reapplying! This is fullsize and the retail price is $19!!!
4. City Color White Gold Eye shadow and Highlighting Mousse - This is interesting. I haven't used a "mousse" product on my eyes before. When I use it, I always use my Urban Decay Eye Primer first and it seems to last. I need to take more time to play with it some more, it's pretty neat. The retail on this is $3.99!
5. Such a Tease Lashes- I love, LOVE falsies, butttttt this aren't real hair. I am pretty spoiled with real or even synthetic hair lashes and these feel like plastic. :( I haven't used them yet, but I really don't think I will like them! We'll see! The retail on these is $3.99!

Total Bag Retail Value . . . $27 without the eyeliner or tanner, they are sample sizes, but I bet these are worth at least $5 each, so let's call it a grand total of $37 for this bag all for only $10! :o)
