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 …
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 …
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 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 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 …
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 …
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 …
