I Bought This, Affiliate Links Right off the bat, I loved the bag for the Ipsy Plus Stronger Together March subscription. It perfectly illustrates the theme Stronger Together, and it is so very cute! I’d say that it’s the best bag since they switched to the drawstring. Here’s what I got: Belle en Argent Panchromatic …
IMHO, the Christmas and Valentine’s subscription bags and boxes are supposed to be the best. But I was disappointed by Ipsy Plus’ holiday bag this year. It was a yawn. So I was hoping for much better with the Valentine’s Day bag. I Bought This, Affiliate Links Although when I chose my items online at …
I still can’t make up my mind about the customization of my Ipsy Plus bag. When I have to choose my items, I have been less than excited. But when the bag arrives, I usually like what I got more than I thought I would. Weird. Regardless, I still strongly believe that the value from …
Well, I guess it’s official. Ipsy Plus has switched from cute, original makeup bags to inexpensive, drawstring bags. I can use a few drawstring bags for storing socks, underwear, or odds and ends, but that’s about it. In fact, the cheap, boring drawstring bags from the Sephora Play subscription was one of the reasons I …
Starting with the August Plus bag that I received a few days ago, Ipsy has made some changes to how the bag is put together. First thing, they got rid of the cardboard box that it arrived in and substituted a large padded envelope. Because I was able to recycle the cardboard box, I preferred …
This month, Ipsy Plus is all about the vacation with an emphasis on staycation. Makes sense. I haven’t even gone to the beach once yet this summer 🙁 I noticed that this month there was no product card in the box. You know, the card or flyer that describes each product and what it’s worth. …
The weeks are passing too quickly. Next week is the longest day of the year, and it’s all downhill after that, lol. I love summer so I wish things would slow down a bit. A couple of days ago, I received my June Ipsy Bag Plus. The theme is a summery “Make Waves” And the …
Ipsy is sending out the monthly Plus glam bag a little earlier in the month these days. I got my May “Get That Glow” bag a few days ago. The makeup bag is really cute this month. It looks like the glow of the sun as it rises or sets in the sky. And the …
April’s almost over already. With staying at home, lots of folks are saying that April feels like it has lasted for years! It’s been rainy and cold for the past few weeks here north of Boston, so my garden that was ahead of the game in March is now pretty much behind the curve in …
Ipsy is just about to send out my April box, so I better get on the stick. The March “Celebrate You” box came a couple of weeks ago, and I have been using a few of the products since it arrived. The makeup bag is cute. It’s an envelope style bag that’s perfect for carrying …
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 …
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 …
