I Bought This, Affiliate Links One of the disadvantages of switching my Ipsy Plus subscription to every other month is that it gets sent out later in the month. So it’s almost October, and I just got my bag a few days ago. But it’s not the end of the world. Like in July, I… Continue reading September Ipsy Plus Bag “You Got This”

July Ipsy Plus Bag: Soak It All In
I guess the bloom is off the rose for me when it comes to being excited about my Ipsy Plus bags. I switched to every other month because I have way too many cosmetics. I forgot to review my last bag that I got in May, and the July bag has been sitting in my… Continue reading July Ipsy Plus Bag: Soak It All In
March Ipsy Plus Bag: Power Moves
I Bought This, Affiliate Links My March Ipsy Plus Bag arrived this past week. The theme is Power Moves, a name that’s supposed to imply self-care and being in charge. The bag itself was imprinted with a cute 3D box print in bright and pastel hues. I like it. In March, I got to choose… Continue reading March Ipsy Plus Bag: Power Moves
Ipsy Plus September 2021 Back to Work, School Life Bag
I Bought This, Affiliate Links When I ordered my Ipsy Plus September 2021 bag, I wasn’t overly excited about it. But when it and the add-ons I chose arrived last week, I liked it a lot more than I expected. The black, white and yellow houndstooth bag is cute, fall-ish, and fits well with the… Continue reading Ipsy Plus September 2021 Back to Work, School Life Bag
Palette Giveaway from Stay Golden, Ipsy Plus July 2021
Did I mention that I finally switched my Ipsy Plus subscription to every other month? I didn’t want to cancel because I still enjoy getting Ipsy bags and I love the add-ons. But I am drowning in beauty products, and I need to cut down a bit. So, I missed the June bag, but I… Continue reading Palette Giveaway from Stay Golden, Ipsy Plus July 2021
Ipsy Glam Bag Plus May 2021 Flower Power
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 … Continue reading Ipsy Glam Bag Plus May 2021 Flower Power
Ipsy Plus April 21 “Force of Nature”
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… Continue reading Ipsy Plus April 21 “Force of Nature”
February 2021 Ipsy Plus: Send Love
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… Continue reading February 2021 Ipsy Plus: Send Love
Ipsy Plus Dream It Bag for January 2021
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… Continue reading Ipsy Plus Dream It Bag for January 2021
Ipsy Plus “Clean Slate” for January 2020
I just received my Ipsy Plus box for February, so I better get on the stick and tell you about my January box. Called Clean Slate, it emphasizes new beginnings. To that end, the Clean Slate box has 3 skincare products out of the 5 full size products. That makes sense to me. And since… Continue reading Ipsy Plus “Clean Slate” for January 2020
Ipsy May 2017 Summer Friday
I think that Ipsy definitely continues to have the edge in the competition of inexpensive makeup subscriptions. I got another winner on Saturday from Ipsy: all makeup! Yay! The theme is Summer Friday. When I worked in advertising in New York, we had summer Fridays. At one agency, we got out on Friday at 1pm, at… Continue reading Ipsy May 2017 Summer Friday
Ipsy Side Show April 2017: Maybe My Best Bag Yet
I really mean it. This could be my best ipsy bag yet! I love everything I got. The theme is Side Show, and I’m not quite sure what that concept has to do with anything. The Side Show used to be associated with something “less than” the main event, and often associated with freaks. Kinda… Continue reading Ipsy Side Show April 2017: Maybe My Best Bag Yet
March 2017 Sephora Play “The Gleam Team” and Ipsy “Pretty Is As Pretty Does” Bags
Happy St. Patrick’s Day for those who celebrate it! I usually do a green eyeshadow look or a green mani, but truth be told, I forgot about it. Shame on me. So I’m going to go with my regular post. Have fun today. Don’t drink the green beer, yuck. I’ve been trying to decide for… Continue reading March 2017 Sephora Play “The Gleam Team” and Ipsy “Pretty Is As Pretty Does” Bags
Ipsy “Much Love” Glam Bag February 2017
Well, I can’t say that I’m a big fan of the makeup bag itself from Ipsy this month. It’s February, and they named the bag “Much Love”, so I definitely wasn’t expecting faux denim even with the red plastic piping around the edges. Oh well, I guess I’m not going to love the bag every… Continue reading Ipsy “Much Love” Glam Bag February 2017
Sephora Play! Beauty Set Go Bag January 2017
I’m still trying to decide which bag to keep: Ipsy or Sephora Play. Sephora Play continues to make this a difficult decision. This month’s Beauty Set Go bag included a number of intriguing deluxe samples for me to try. The drawstring bag itself is a parachute-type fabric on the front and open mesh on the back.… Continue reading Sephora Play! Beauty Set Go Bag January 2017
Two Months of Ipsy: December 2016/January 2017
I’ve fallen behind in my subbie bag reviews. Just too many at once. My Birchbox subscription ended in December, and I’m relieved. I’d actually like to get rid of one more, but I can’t decide if I should keep ipsy or keep Sephora Play. I still love the makeup bags from ipsy and the fact… Continue reading Two Months of Ipsy: December 2016/January 2017
More September 2016 Subscriptions: Birchbox and Sephora Play!
All my subscriptions came on time or early this month. I already wrote about my terrific September ipsy bag. And to follow up on my missing product with points, ipsy said they couldn’t replace it but they were sending me something else. It hasn’t arrived yet, and my fingers are crossed that it isn’t a… Continue reading More September 2016 Subscriptions: Birchbox and Sephora Play!
July 2016 Sephora Play! Beauty Bag
You know, I’m not sure if the monthly Sephora Play! bag has a theme or not. Frankly, I don’t think it matters. The cosmetics in the bags seem pretty random to me. But for July, Sephora Play adorned the muslin bag, that is now in its third month, with a pink ice cream treat with… Continue reading July 2016 Sephora Play! Beauty Bag
ipsy June 2016: Rebel Rebel Glam Bag
Another absolutely adorable makeup bag from ipsy! The theme is Rebel Rebel, and the design on the makeup bag is brightly colored graffiti. Last week I took the train into Boston from the suburbs, and the back side of a building near the railroad station in Beverly is completely covered in really skilled, artistic graffiti.… Continue reading ipsy June 2016: Rebel Rebel Glam Bag
