I Bought This, Affiliate Links One of the disadvantages of switching my Ipsy Plus subscription to every other month is that it gets sent out later in the month. So it’s almost October, and I just got my bag a few days ago. But it’s not the end of the world. Like in July, I …
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 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 …
Did I mention that I finally switched my Ipsy Plus subscription to every other month? I didn’t want to cancel because I still enjoy getting Ipsy bags and I love the add-ons. But I am drowning in beauty products, and I need to cut down a bit. So, I missed the June bag, but I …
Although I still prefer traditional makeup bags to the drawstring, this month’s pink floral bag was a pretty one. And I admit that the drawstring bag is a better fit for all the full size products. The bag color and design definitely fits with the May theme, Flower Power. I Bought This, Affiliate Links …
I had a meltdown because something was screwed up with the customizing of my Ipsy Plus bag for April. Usually I get an email reminding me to pick my products for my next bag. Somehow I didn’t get that reminder email in late March or early April. So I went to the Ipsy website myself …
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 Bought This, Affiliate Links Although the drawstring powder blue ombre “Dream It” bag is cute, I must admit I am underwhelmed by my Ipsy Plus bag for January. The choices I was given for this bag were so lackluster that I had a hard time choosing. But here we are. Billion Dollar Brows …
I just received my Ipsy Plus box for February, so I better get on the stick and tell you about my January box. Called Clean Slate, it emphasizes new beginnings. To that end, the Clean Slate box has 3 skincare products out of the 5 full size products. That makes sense to me. And since …
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’m still trying to decide which bag to keep: Ipsy or Sephora Play. Sephora Play continues to make this a difficult decision. This month’s Beauty Set Go bag included a number of intriguing deluxe samples for me to try. The drawstring bag itself is a parachute-type fabric on the front and open mesh on the back. …
