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 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 …
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! …
Thanks again for sticking with me while I go through my website backend woes. I am hoping the consultant I found will be able to help me soon. I really appreciate those of you who can get onto my website to try to leave even a short comment. That seems to be another intermittent problem …
Yesterday we looked at my Ipsy Snow Globe bag for December, and today let’s look at Sephora Play’s Glam Straight bag. For the holiday and to fit with the Glam Straight concept, the drawstring bag is a pale peach satin with art deco style font and design. What’s inside you ask? Here are the travel …
I had great expectations for the December Ipsy bag. With the exception of maybe the last month, I had a good year of Ipsy bags and goodies. I thought December would be la pièce de la résistance of Ipsy bags for 2017. I do love the festive bling-y silver faux leather makeup bag (the silver …
The Ipsy and Sephora Play bags have similarly self-focused themes for November. Interesting coincidence. As I wrote last week, Sephora Play was kind of a disappointment for me this month. The Marc Jacobs Velvet Noir Mascara didn’t suit me: I didn’t like the fluffy brush for my downturned eyes and the formula kind of made …
I think I hit the jackpot this month from both of my $10 subscription bags: Ipsy and Sephora Play. Although I didn’t get any makeup brushes this month, the travel size and full size products I received were top notch IMO. Surprisingly, I got the same product in both bags lol. Let’s take a look. …
This month sure went by fast. Both Ipsy and Sephora Play for September arrived in my mailbox on Friday. Both contained things I like as well as, sadly, one near miss. Let’s take a look. Ipsy Like. A. Boss. This month’s Like. A. Boss. themed bag from Ipsy comes in an embossed black plastic makeup …
Ipsy is changing things up. This month, instead of the raspberry pink metallic mailing envelope that I’ve been getting for three years, I received a gold metallic mailing envelope. Pretty and eye-catching. Inside the mailer, I found this month’s heavy plastic that almost feels like fabric makeup bag: ombre shades of lavender through raspberry pink …
