Hey everyone!
Look what came in the mail today!!!
I’ve been subscribed to Ipsy since this past May. So far, I’ve been really impressed. For $10 a month I get all sorts of new hair and beauty products to use that I wouldn’t go splurge on by myself. My problem with make-up, as much as I love it, is the high prices. I just can’t get myself to spend a large sum of money unless I know I love the product. So rather than buying a ton of make-up to try out every month, I limit myself to this $10 Ipsy subscription. If I find something I really like, I’ll splurge. Once I am more confident in knowing what I like, I will most likely cancel my subscription, but for right now I’m loving it!
This month’s Ipsy theme was Prep School. The bag was so cute! Take a look:
Mind you I opened this at my little sister’s soccer practice so don’t mind the grass background. This bag came with 3 full-sized products and 2 sample/travel sizes. Let’s get into it!
Item #1 – Marc Anthony Nourishing Argan Oil of Morocco
This is an oil treatment for your hair. I’ve been loving using argan oil when I get out of the shower so I’m really excited to try the Marc Anthony brand. It has a pretty strong smell but I love it so it doesn’t bother me. It’s a brand new product and will be found at your local Ulta/drugstore.
Item #2 – Ultra Mild Fash Wash by Lather
I’m not going to lie, skin care products are something I hate spending money on. I know I shouldn’t because good, healthy skin is the best foundation, but I do. So when I get skincare products in my Glam bag I get super excited. The full size of this product retails for about $26. I can’t wait to try this! Do any of you use Lather products?!
Item #3 – Doucce Cosmetics Ultra Precision Eyeliner in Black
You can never, I repeat, NEVER, have too many black eyeliners. I feel like I go through black eyeliner so fast it’s crazy. This eyeliner retails for $20. It feels super smooth going on. It’s also waterproof so it’s not going anywhere. I love it!
Item #4 – Trust Fund Beauty nail polish in Elegantly Wasted
Love. Love. Love!!!! Purple is my favorite color (besides black of course) so when I saw this I fell in love. This is such a beautiful shade of purple. Even the packaging is adorable. One of these polishes retails for $12. I’ve never used this brand but I will definitely give this a try!
Item #5 – HIKARI Lip Gloss in Merlot
Last but not least I received this beautiful shade of lip gloss by HIKARI Cosmetics. The shade is Merlot and I love it! The gloss is a bit sticky but doesn’t really bother me. This retails for $13. I swatched the color below. It looks more red on my lips, but like any color it will look different on everyone!
Overall I loved this month’s Glam bag from Ipsy. I find it really helps me discover what I like/don’t like without wasting all of my money. I could only find prices for 3 items, which totaled to $45. That right there tells me it was worth it! Are you guys subscribed to Ipsy? If so, share what you got this month in the comments!
