I guess the bloom is off the rose for me when it comes to being excited about my Ipsy Plus bags. I switched to every other month because I have way too many cosmetics. I forgot to review my last bag that I got in May, and the July bag has been sitting in my …
I am always excited about receiving my December Ipsy bag. Usually they pull out all the stops at the end of the year with a bag either made from or full of bling. This year, not so much. I Bought This, Affiliate Links Maybe because we all will benefit from staying home to celebrate the …
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. …
One of the benefits of maintaining my Ipsy subscription is the discounts on products that participate in Ipsy’s subbie bags. I got an email from Ipsy letting me know about a good deal from Hanalei, a cruelty-free brand of skincare and lip products from Hawaii. Last year I received a travel size tube of the …
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 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 …
I think that Ipsy definitely continues to have the edge in the competition of inexpensive makeup subscriptions. I got another winner on Saturday from Ipsy: all makeup! Yay! The theme is Summer Friday. When I worked in advertising in New York, we had summer Fridays. At one agency, we got out on Friday at 1pm, at …
I really mean it. This could be my best ipsy bag yet! I love everything I got. The theme is Side Show, and I’m not quite sure what that concept has to do with anything. The Side Show used to be associated with something “less than” the main event, and often associated with freaks. Kinda …
Happy St. Patrick’s Day for those who celebrate it! I usually do a green eyeshadow look or a green mani, but truth be told, I forgot about it. Shame on me. So I’m going to go with my regular post. Have fun today. Don’t drink the green beer, yuck. I’ve been trying to decide for …
Well, I can’t say that I’m a big fan of the makeup bag itself from Ipsy this month. It’s February, and they named the bag “Much Love”, so I definitely wasn’t expecting faux denim even with the red plastic piping around the edges. Oh well, I guess I’m not going to love the bag every …
I’ve fallen behind in my subbie bag reviews. Just too many at once. My Birchbox subscription ended in December, and I’m relieved. I’d actually like to get rid of one more, but I can’t decide if I should keep ipsy or keep Sephora Play. I still love the makeup bags from ipsy and the fact …
Another absolutely adorable makeup bag from ipsy! The theme is Rebel Rebel, and the design on the makeup bag is brightly colored graffiti. Last week I took the train into Boston from the suburbs, and the back side of a building near the railroad station in Beverly is completely covered in really skilled, artistic graffiti. …
Going away last month threw me off. I have 5 unreviewed subscription boxes. Oy! I’ll try to get caught up if I can. I’ll start with ipsy because they stood out more to me. Ipsy Dreamers: April 2016 I like the summery looking colors and pattern of the makeup bag. And the goodies inside were …
