Hey everyone! You know what time it is…
It’s my favorite time of the month! And I can’t wait to tell you all about this bag because I swear the theme was made for me!
If you don’t know…
Ipsy is a $10/month subscription bag that generally includes 4-5 deluxe sample or full size products. When joining their website you fill out a beauty quiz and that is how they personalize the products to you. Now, some months are hit and miss — there maybe a product or two that I am not crazy about. If I’ll never use it, I give it away. But, sometimes it’s a great product to try and a wonderful way jump out of my comfort zone. You never know. It is also important to be as honest as possible during the quiz to help ensure bags you would like.
Seriously, it’s $10 a month. Can’t beat that. The only downfall is the wait list. But this month they have a “skip the waitlist” link and I always post it so sign up here and skip here.
Okay so let’s dive in to my favorite pink bubble mailer!
Every month has a theme…
I swear I am adopting that as a life motto, thanks Ipsy. It’s safe to say I love the theme for this month.
On to the bag…
The bag is a sleek plastic material made entirely of silver glitter with a pink zipper on top. Ipsy is super girly, but this bag takes the cake. It feels decently made and it combines glitter, sparkle, and pink! Yupp, I’m all about that. This bag had a little something on the inside as well.
Ipsy partnered with Forever 21 to come up with this bag. This doesn’t surprise me much. They always have super cute accessories and beauty items there so this is fitting.
Okay, okay, enough about the bag. On to the good stuff, right?!
I haven’t tried this yet. But it does smell good and the scrub is very very fine (micro-derm). It almost seems like a lotion.
IT Cosmetics – Bye Bye Under Eye – shade: neutral medium
This tube is so cute and mini. The packaging is very sleek and convenient. I was very worried about this product because they sent it in the shade neutral medium. I have never been a “medium” skin toned girl. I am usually light. After trying it out I actually like the shade. With some blending it works well into my skin and feels awesome. A little bit goes a long way so I imagine this mini tube will last me a while.
Be A Bombshell Cosmetics – Eye Base – Color: submissive
• Bombshell Application: Apply lightly with fingertip to create a natural finish. Layer for added color.

I have not tried this hairspray yet but it smells nice and I love everything it claims to do. I received the beach spray from this brand before in an Ipsy bag and it was okay. I wouldn’t buy it again but I am still using it. So I am curious to see how this hairspray hold up. For the most part I don’t like a super heavy hold. We will see. I was slightly surprised to see this as a travel size when it is such an affordable drugstore item, but more about that later.
Starlooks – Lip Gloss – color: Guilty Pleasure
Ipsy hit the nail on the head with this gloss. Of course they are going to be on trend with the fall colors and even the mauvey/brown lips that are so popular right now. This gloss is the perfect color for me. I love this new trend but lean more towards pinker mauves than brown mauves. This color is a beautiful light pink neutral mauve with awesome color pay off. It smells amazing, but I do find that the formula is a bit tacky, even though they claim “non-sticky”. I also want to note that it is sold out on Starlooks website.
Remember : Life is short. Wear glitter.
