For my September Boxycharm box, I remembered to sign on to Ipsy to choose 3 of the 5 products. Which products I chose, I can’t remember! Here’s what I got: KOA Life Body Butter Hydra-Boost for the Skin: I don’t remember if I chose this or not, but I’m glad I got it. It is …
Again, I forgot that my every other month Boxycharm box was coming. Nevertheless, no complaints from me about the Boxycharm July ’25 products that they selected for me. Here’s what I got in my “Hot Glow Summer”: Origins Checks & Balances Frothy Face Wash: This was the product that I am on the fence about. …
I completely forgot that I was getting a Boxycharm box for March. A few years ago, I switched to an every other month plan, and I often lose track. So, I didn’t sign in on March 1 or 2 and pick my products. Instead, Ipsy picked for me. So, my box was a surprise. The …

In my last Ipsy bag, I got a tube of Il Makiage Lip Service Hi-Shine Kuo Glaze in shade PDA. I don’t remember if I chose this or if Ipsy/Boxycharm chose it for me, but regardless, it was a good pick. The Il Makiage lipgloss comes in a very thick, sturdy and rather heavy plastic …
OK, so I never pulled the plug on Ipsy. I am still an every other month subscriber. I couldn’t give up those pricey skincare items that still come my way either in my semi-monthly box or as a deeply discounted “add-on”. I haven’t reviewed any of my boxes in the longest time. Not sure why. …

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 Bought This, Affiliate Links My March Ipsy Plus Bag arrived this past week. The theme is Power Moves, a name that’s supposed to imply self-care and being in charge. The bag itself was imprinted with a cute 3D box print in bright and pastel hues. I like it. In March, I got to choose …
I Bought This, Affiliate Links After being surprised at how much I liked my January Ipsy Plus Bag for which Ipsy chose my items, I decided to take a look at the add-ons. Not surprisingly, I found a few that I decided to buy: two sample size duos for $5 and two full size products …
I Bought This, Affiliate Links Because I now subscribe to Ipsy Plus every other month, I occasionally forget to sign into my account on the second day of the month I’m getting a bag to choose the items that I want to receive. I remembered on New Year’s Day, but that was a day too …
Every time I get annoyed with Ipsy, I remember that I have discovered some really terrific beauty products through it.

BTW, I just looked through the Ipsy shopping pages, …
I Bought This, Affiliate Links When I ordered my Ipsy Plus September 2021 bag, I wasn’t overly excited about it. But when it and the add-ons I chose arrived last week, I liked it a lot more than I expected. The black, white and yellow houndstooth bag is cute, fall-ish, and fits well with the …
