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 …
The September Play! by Sephora Bag was a good one, and October 2017 even better. Sephora had broken a string of meh monthly bags. November 2017, IMHO, brings me back to another meh bag. Though there are a couple of things I like and I’m glad I got to try, they’re nothing to shout from …
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 …
I got my Sephora Play bag this month, August, on the early side (whereas Ipsy is decidedly late). But when I took it out of the box, I was a little surprised that the name on the bag for this month is Makeup Geek, even though the theme is The Innovators. Since there’s a well …
Just after receiving my Ipsy bag for June, Sephora Play arrived. The Sephora theme is ‘Summer Starters”, and their white cotton bag has cute beachgoers frolicking in the water. Here’s what I got this month: Ouai Rose Hair & Body Oil: I know that Ouai is a prestige brand that I probably would buy for myself, …
I definitely view the passage of time by Ipsy bags. Yesterday, I received my “Volume Up” glam bag for June 2017. Fitting with the theme, the contents of my bag are primarily makeup! How could I disagree with that? The bag is cute. It’s a waxed cottony fabric in beige with lighter beige polka dots …
I keep thinking that two inexpensive beauty subscription bags seems excessive, but both Ipsy and Sephora Play are making it tough for me to cancel one of them. I received the Sephora Play “The Rising Stars” bag for May 2017 about a week ago. I had been getting tired of the white cotton drawstring bags …
I’m still feeling good about ipsy. I got my July bag yesterday. The theme is Hot Summer Nights, appropriate for July. The bag itself is cute, a metallic silver plastic makeup bag adorned with beach umbrellas. I’m happy with 4 out of the 5 items that I received: theBalm Meet Matte Trimony Eyeshadow, an eyeshadow …
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 …
My March Birchbox celebrating International Women’s Day and Women’s History Month arrived on Saturday. The box itself is in my favorite colors especially for spring and summer: aqua, spring green with accents of gold and beige. I love the look! And I was not disappointed this month like I was in February, thank goodness! I …
