Ipsy introduced a full size subscription bag last month. Although I got some nice goodies, I had problems with some of them.

Did I tell you that I decided to take the plunge and subscribe to the new Ipsy Glam Bag Plus? I think I read about it a few weeks ago on Facebook, and then I got an email asking me if I wanted to join the waitlist to subscribe. I thought about it, and since …
The September 2018 Ipsy theme is “Who Is Going To Stop Me?”. I guess it means that one can follow her own path. OK. The bag is black cottony fabric with two closed eyes with long lashes and a gold vegan leather bottom. It’s cute, but not one of my faves. Here’s what was inside …
The summer is sadly flying by, and I just received my August Ipsy bag. The theme is “Selfie with No Filter”. Not sure I can connect the theme to the goodies inside, but I got some things I love. I would say that Ipsy has been doing a better job this past year or so …
This is the first time since I’ve been a subscriber that my Ipsy bag doesn’t have a specific theme. It came with a card with just the date. On the back of the card was a list of three products on which you can get 30% cash back if you purchase them through Ipsy. …
I was surprised to get an Influenster box out of the clear blue sky, but thank you, Influenster, I’ll take it! The theme of the box is Vacay Box. Isn’t the pink and white cardboard shipping box with drawings of cosmetics on the sides so cute? Often, the Influenster boxes I have received have been …
My June 2018 Ipsy bag arrived on Friday. The theme is Flying Colors, and the heavy plastic makeup bag in three stripes of pink, salmon and coral is right up my alley – my favorite shades! So what did I get? The first thing that I noticed was a travel size jar of my current …
I know I just shared my April and May Ipsy bags yesterday, but hey I’m on a roll. So let’s do Sephora Play for April and May. April I tossed the materials that came with this bag, so I don’t exactly know what the theme is. But the white cotton bag with the green grosgrain …
I lost track of time during the busy months of April and May, and never got a chance to show you my Ipsy bags. Ipsy April 2018 The bag is plastic with rose gold accents at the corners and pull tab. It’s adorned with butterflies. You probably will think I’m crazy, but I don’t like …
The March 2018 Sephora Play bag is themed “Festival of Beauty” in concert (pardon the pun) with Coachella and other spring festivals. This month’s goodies came in a blue cottony bag with “Beauty Is My Spirit Animal” on it. Let’s see what I got. Murad Invisiblur Perfecting Shield Broad Spectrum SPF 30: I wrote about this …
Ipsy decided to change things up this month. The theme of the bag is “Create”. To go along with the create theme, they included two spring-y markers along with the bag, a hot pink and a bright green. Then, I noticed that the bag itself was different: it’s bigger! In fact, it fits my iPhone …
Usually, makeup subscriptions have the best stuff in December and February. Though I can’t really remember what the Christmas bags were like, I have not been disappointed by the February bags for both Ipsy and Sephora Play. Here’s what came in my “Feel the Love” bag from Sephora Play. The Play bag has lots of …
I was all set to pull the plug, and Ipsy sent me two things in particular that have made me reconsider for now. (I know, I’m like the boy who cried wolf when it comes to pulling the plug on my $10 subbie boxes!) The theme for February is Ipsy Unzipped, and the concept of …
In keeping with January new beginnings, Sephora Play called their subscription bag “Happy You Year” and it’s on the white cotton bag. Cute. Before I get into it, I got the 6 items as usual, but thankfully, there was no perfume sample. And I didn’t miss it one bit. Instead, I got another sample. Good! …
