What is an ipsy bag? If you subscribe, you get a makeup bag filled with deluxe samples/full-sized beauty products for $10/month. They also offer tutorials with stylists using the same products that you receive. After receiving my Pretty in Pink Ipsy Bag last month, I cancelled my Birchbox because I was much more satisfied! On to my review!

$100 off Hair Styling Tools & Hair Extensions + Free Thermal Pouch from NuME with code ip1wn78cltbhm
yaby Concealer Refill buff {5 colors available} + 20% off coupon $5.06 value
Pros: 1. Creamy & easy to apply. 2. Better match for my skin tone than what I thought {I still probably could have used the vanilla shade they offered). 3. Tear proof (from website). 4. Vegan friendly & no animal by products. 5. You can reuse the empty container for mixing once done. 6. Affordable.
Cons: 1. I don’t have anything to put this in, so I have to make sure the plastic packaging it came in holds up.**Apparently they sent out palettes in a bag before I was a subscriber** 2. Could have used a lighter, less yellow color.
Verdict: I would have to try the lighter shade before purchasing, but at roughly $5 I could gamble.
Zoya Nail Polish in Gie Gie {6 colors available}+ Buy 2 bottles get 1 free+free remover & $5 shipping offer. $8 value
My at home pedi with accent nail decals.
Pros: 1. Gie Gie is a light pink with shimmer/pearlescent polish, like a princess in a bottle! 2. A little goes a long way. 3. Vegan. 4. Formulation contains no formaldehyde, formaldehyde resin, toluene, dibutyl phthalate or camphor.
Cons: 1. Price tag (I’m getting used to paying an average of $8 a bottle for good nail polish).
Verdict: I would consider trying their other colors but would want to see in person.
Juice Beauty Reflecting Gloss in fig {3 colors available} +20% off $30 or more offer. $15 value
Without Flash
Pros: 1. Nice shimmery neutral shade that you can wear alone or on top of lipstick for more effect. 2. Made with certified organic ingredients. 3. Has a nice citrus scent & taste. 4. Not sticky or goopy. 5. Made with combination of antioxidant-rich acai and goji berries, natural minerals and sweet agave nectar.
Cons: 1. Price tag (although worth it for a clean product in my opinion). 2. In a glass container…if I drop it or my 2 year old gets a hold of it, it is a goner.
Verdict: I normally would not have purchased because of the price, but I’m glad I received a full size product for a fraction of the price!
Macadamia Hair Healing Oil Treatment {some received NuMe Finishing Serum}
+ 30% off a 4.2 oz. Healing Oil Treatment offer. $13.50 value
Cons: 1. I have way too many oils right now, so my sister will be getting this.
Verdict: I would have tried if I didn’t already have oils in my hair product stash (including what was in my ipsy bag last month).
St. Tropez One Night Only Instant Glow Body Lotion {some received Pacifica Bronzing Body Butter}
+20% off entire purchase offer. $18 for full size.
Pros: 1. It didn’t make me look orange & was a subtle but noticeable color change. 2. Washes off in the shower without crazy scrubbing. 3. Transfer resistant.
Cons: 1. It’s kind of runny, so if you put too much in certain spots like I did, it will streak. 2. Says it is best applied with their applicator mitt, which I do not have. {I used a rubber glove}
Verdict: My sister with the olive skin {guess who’s egg had all of the melanin in it?!} will be getting this because I’m just too messy to have a nice, even result from it.
This is me being an excited IPSTER about receiving $50+ worth of products for $10!
