May Ipsy Bag

It's time for the May Ipsy bag. This month, the theme is Fresh Picks.

At first glance, this bag wasn't very exciting. I only got one makeup product and the rest were skincare. As I looked at the products, though, I realized that either my husband or I would actually use all of the skincare products included.

April Ipsy Bag

I got my Ipsy bag for April last week. This theme is Beauty Rocks.

 I still like Ipsy after all these months. Overall, I enjoy the products that I'm getting... though I do wish I'd get less hair products. I don't really want to say I don't like the Sexy Hair products because I do but I just don't use a lot of hair products outside hair oil and the occasional hair spray. I also find myself wishing that they would release their potential products list and then let you request the ones you want... maybe you wouldn't get them all but at least you'd get a chance. I really wanted to try the Benefit Lolitint but didn't get it.

March Ipsy Bag

I got my Ipsy bag earlier in the week.

This month, the bag was designed for Ipsy by Klari Reis, an artist from San Francisco. I'm not in love with the pattern of the bag, though I don't hate it. I do like the texture of the bag.

I'm pretty happy with this month's bag. There are only 4 products this time but they are all really nice. The only thing I'd say is that I wish there was more variety. I see the same brands over and over and, while I like quite a few of them, I'd like some new brands to try.

February Ipsy Bag

With all the crazy winter weather, pretty much anything I ordered has taken forever to get here. I finally got my February Ipsy bag yesterday and here it is.

I like this bag much better than I did last month. The only thing I didn't really want is the false lashes because I don't wear them.

January 2014 Ipsy Bag

The January Ipsy bag isn't the most interesting. This month, most of the potential products were focused on skin or hair care. Only a few weren't and those were still rather basic.

One of the weird things that I read in the comments on the Ipsy page was how bad the bag itself smelled. It does have an odd smell to it and I'm not sure if it will come out. It's not my favorite bag from Ipsy anyway so I might just get rid of it. How many makeup bags do I really need anyway?

Even so, it's not a bad bag. I only got one product that I'm not too excited about- the Proactive+ wipes. I've never had acne problems or dark marks on my face so I'm not sure they'll do much good for me. The rest of the products are fine. I actually needed the hair mask and the exfoliant.

December Ipsy Bag

I got December's Ipsy bag a few days ago.

I think I need to change up my preferences again. 5 out of the 9 bags I've received have included nail polish... which I like, but how many bottles can I possibly use up really? I also got a perfume, which I don't care for. It's a good size, unlike the ones Birchbox does, but I'm so sensitive to perfume that I don't use most samples. This isn't my favorite bag, but it's not the worst. I do like the Pop Beauty eyeshadow trio.

November Ipsy Bag

I was surprised with my Ipsy bag this morning. I didn't get a tracking number for my bag this month but, I guess as long as I get the actual bag, it's fine.

Outside of the actual bag, which I had to force open because the zipper was messed up, I'm really happy with this bag. I wasn't so excited with a few things when my Glam Room went up, but the colors changed my mind. I was particularly uninterested in the Starlooks eye liner because I didn't like the last Starlooks eye liner I got, but this one was really pretty. I'm also really happy that there are no hair products this month.

Ipsy Bag for October

Even though I got my bag last week, I opened it today. I spent several days trying to get a baby squirrel out of my bathroom and didn't have a chance to get to Ipsy. But the squirrel is now outside so here it is.

Ipsy has a quiz to help personalize each person's bag to some degree. I'm pretty sure it doesn't work. I got 2 things I said I wasn't interested in. Still, it's not a bad bag and I still overall enjoy Ipsy.

September Ipsy Bag

I got my Ipsy bag several days ago and just got a chance to put it up.

I do have to say this isn't my favorite bag. Overall, I think that all the colors are fairly blah... I can't even count the number of black eye liners I have and this is just one more to add to the pile. The nude lipstick is just a bad color on me because it's a little more orange-y. There were a few other potential products that I would have preferred.

Ipsy bag for August

It's time for a new Ipsy bag.

In this bag, I got a lot of useful products, but I have to say I'm a little disappointed with what I didn't get. There were 12 potential products and I really wanted some of the things I didn't get, especially the new Urban Decay lipstick. The products I did get are still good, though, and I'm sure that I'll use them all.

July Ipsy Bag

I finally got my Ipsy bag for July. That is my one problem with Ipsy... I don't usually get it until more than halfway through the month. But, thus far, I've been pleased with most of the products I've received so I'll live with it.

June Ipsy Bag

Overall, I have to say that I like the Ipsy subscription. I didn't post last month's bag, but I liked that one and the one before that. I'm not as fond of this one, mostly because of the glitter eyeshadow thing, but I still think it's well worth the $10 a month. Sign up here* to subscribe to Ipsy.

April Ipsy bag

A while ago, I had Birchbox but was continually disappointed  in it. I like the idea of Birchbox, though, so I looked into others. After a few months of watching other people's videos about their Ipsy bags, I decided to sign up. This is my first bag and I have to say that I'm impressed.
