I just received my Ipsy Plus box for February, so I better get on the stick and tell you about my January box. Called Clean Slate, it emphasizes new beginnings. To that end, the Clean Slate box has 3 skincare products out of the 5 full size products. That makes sense to me. And since …
I’m having a hard time getting back into the swing of things. What day is it? Yesterday was Thursday, not Monday? Well, eventually I’ll get with the program. Hope you had a marvelous holiday season with memorable moments and occasions with friends and loved ones! And I hope your 2020 is filled only with good …
Tonight is Christmas Eve and the 3rd night of Hanukkah. I hope you have a joyous evening! Fashion Flash Just a couple of things. If you have a moment to take a look, if not today, then later in the week when things calm down, this week’s edition of Fashion Flash is hosted by JoJami …
This month’s Ipsy Plus box was a mixed bag for me. The November 2019 theme is Wild Side, so it makes sense that the makeup bag is a leopard print that’s so on trend this fall. I adore the makeup bag with the faux suede tassel. It goes so well with my purse. And I’m …
Ipsy made a couple of changes to their Plus box. First, they allow you to choose one of your products now. To be honest, I don’t think I’ll bother next month. I don’t like to know what the products are in advance. Plus I’m not 100% sure, but I think the products that I was …
My September Ipsy Plus box arrived last week. The theme is Find Your Light to accompany a month associated with new paths and new beginnings. Nice. Here’s what I got: Apto Skincare Pomegranate Maque: I wasn’t familiar with this clean beauty brand. Apto’s Pomegranate Masque is recommended for use after summer or after a lot …
As usual, I am delighted with my “Bare Yourself” Ipsy Plus box for August. I just think they really get me, and I am seldom disappointed with my monthly full size cosmetics subscription. The “Bare Yourself” theme does seem to fit with August. But the products don’t necessarily fit with the theme, though I can’t …
My Ipsy Plus Box for July 2019 called “Dive In” arrived today. Instead of ‘Dive In”, I would call it “Get Your Glow On” based on a number of items in this month’s box. Just as a reminder, Ipsy Plus is a monthly subscription box that includes 5 full size beauty products for $25 including …
Time for another Ipsy Plus subscription box. This month, the theme is Block Party. I thought Ipsy Plus had dispensed with themes since they are seemingly unnecessary. But Block Party goes well with summer, and what’s in this month’s Block Party box does fit the theme. So let’s see what I got! PūR Big Look …
I’m still delighted with my subscription to Ipsy Glam Bag Plus, the monthly subscription that sends me at least 5 full size cosmetics worth well over $100 every month for $25. I have used just about every item that I’ve received. Even the very few that didn’t suit me I enjoyed trying anyway. Plus there’s …
Hope you had a nice holiday weekend! It is beginning to look like spring around here. So exciting! My Ipsy Plus box for April came about a week ago or so, and I am just getting around to writing about it. Let’s see what I got this month. Benefit High Brow Eyebrow Highlighter: I can’t …
I really look forward every month to my Ipsy Glam Plus box with 5 full size products. I have made some great discoveries from my boxes since I signed up last fall. Importantly, the value is definitely there with each of the boxes being worth well over $100. This past month, Ipsy sent an email …
I received my January Ipsy Glam Bag Plus about three weeks ago, but one of the items that wasn’t wrapped in bubble wrap arrived smashed. Fortunately, Ipsy said they would replace it, and I just received the replacement the other day. It came in a padded raspberry pink metallic envelope that we all associate with …
Last year was the first year that I bought a Beautylish Lucky Bag. I bought the more affordable version, and I was generally happy with what I got. A year later, the most memorable items/the ones I used the most were the Wayne Goss brush and Clean Apothecary Brush Cleaner. Nevertheless, I decided to try …
A couple of weeks ago, I received my December Glam Bag Plus from Ipsy, but I had so many other posts to get up that I didn’t get around to this one. But I’m happy to get to write about it now. The Glam Bag Plus doesn’t have a theme, and after this month, it’s …
