Ipsy...I'm on the Fence...

So, I had cancelled my membership to Birch box because it had turned out to be a colossal disappointment for me. I heard about this other one called Ipsy through some other Bloggers on Twitter, so I signed up. It seemed really cool because you get high end cosmetics in a make-up bag monthly. The cost is only $10, and looking at their website at past bags it seemed pretty cool. Their website is here: Ipsy .

I received my bag yesterday and I am on the fence about it. It came in this pretty pink padded envelope, which the girl in me LOVED.


When I opened it up, this is what I found.

Now I will admit I did get a little excited about the make-up brush. I am always looking for new brushes and this one is different from anyone I have ever seen. It had notches in the top part of the handle for your fingers to rest in to make it easier to manipulate. I LOVE IT! I forgot to add it is a concealer brush, a medium sized one, and I have a Mount Rushmore on my chin right now so it will get used this weekend.
 Here is another photo.


You can see here how my thumb and forefinger rest in the grooves? It is just great.


Here's the rest of the bag.

Sorry I repeated the brush again,but I got a bottle of this tomato red nail polish,Josie Maran Argan oil, Big Sexy Hairspray,and Pacifica  Body butter mini.

I don't like the color of the polish. It's weird, like a tomato. LOL. I don't see myself using it,honestly.



The Josie Maran item I was happy about. Her items are high quality, and work very well. The great thing about it is it its versatility. You can use it on your skin, and your hair, or put some in your bathwater!  I will definitely use this, and appreciate having this included in the box. 

The Big Sexy Hair hairspray is just a big blah for me. I mean,it's always nice to have a bottle of hairspray laying around, but to me, this is just nothing special.



Pacifica Body butter mini in Tuscan Blood Orange. This stuff smells divine. I mean it smells GOOD. I just wished I used lotion more often. Also there was no seal on my lotion,and I just have this issue with there being no seal on my beauty products.WHAT IS UP WITH THAT??

All in all, it wasn't a bad bag, I'm definitely looking forward to next months, to see what they have in store for me. LET'S DO THIS IPSY!

  1. Awesome collection of things. Not a fan of the nail color either but I would find some use for it around the house. The Blood Orange lotion sounds amazing. I confess I'm a lotion hoarder of scary proportions and I've never bought a lotion that was sealed in any way. Big fan of Argan Oil. All in all a great haul for $10! Can't wait to hear what is in the next one.

  2. Me neither! I did kinda expect the lotion to have the little foil seal though.I'm a little anal. LOL... The argan oil is really great,I used it on my hair and it really brought out my curls.
