Welcome to a new monthly feature- Subscription Box Review! I plan on posting reviews of all the subscription package services I have started trying out (thanks to my hubs for ordering me a bunch to try for our Wedding Anniversary present!).
(So far I am continuing this subscription)
When I got my first Ipsy package, I already was
super excited to get it- I had been following along online/facebook/instagram
with their style gals, as well as chatting about it with a friend of mine who
has been an avid subscriber of theirs. I was excited to open my hot pink padded
envelope to discover some awesome products.
The one thing I adore about Ipsy as opposed to some other
makeup subscription companies, is you get a cute little bag with it. September’s glam bag was shiny silver with silver
studs- love it! It is perfect to change up the bags of makeup on the go or
when traveling.
Now onto the other products in the package:
-
Avon Big & Daring Mascara (original price $9, on sale currently for $7): I just adore this mascara. I’ve always been a MaryKay
girl (if I had to chose between MK and Avon) but this was a lovely mascara. It
certain does what it says- makes your eyelashes BIG and daring. Lol. I used it a few times already, such as when I needed to do promo shots for the upcoming show I'm in.

-
7 Free Pacifica Nail polish in Red Wine (original price $9)- I like the color. Haven’t used it yet, though I plan to dress
up my toenails for fall with this dark cranberry color. It's very dark, but perfect for fall!
Be a…Bombshell Smooth Criminal powder (original price $12)- Honestly, I had no clue how to uses this when I got it,
let alone what it was used for. I did find this great makeup tutorial on
youtube by xxx where she uses it (among other products), so I might have to go out of my comfort zone
and try it out next time I put makeup on with foundation (I'm not really a big foundation/makeup person. I love the more natural/on the go routine).
-
Cailyn Art Touch tinted Lip gloss in Basic Instinct (original price $19)- Nice simple lip gloss- the shade was a little light for
my skin tone, but overall a good gloss over my usual Dusty Rose MaryKay lipstick.
-
Mitchell and Peach Luxury Hand cream (original price $17 euro, Roughly $21.50 US dollars for 60 ml bottle)- Loved the scent. I’m not a huge hand cream fan, but
this smelled lovely. This is a travel version, so I'm not sure if the price is correct for that size, FYI. It is perfect to stick in your purse when you need a little love for your hands. ;)
Overall, it was a great first bag from Ipsy. Now I know others got a slightly different bag (2 of my castmates and my mom all got slightly different bags), so I find it interesting what the company personalizes, according to the quiz they have you take. ;)
I’m looking
forward to seeing what I get in my next bag from them!
Have a great day!
