Get the Inside Scoop on Beauty for Women over 40
My ipsy bag was a little later than usual this month, which made me one of the last to get it. Grrrrr! It was so late that I mistakenly thought it was the September bag and I originally mislabeled the post and the photo below! But it eventually came, and with it was the bonus …
My July ipsy bag arrived last Saturday. The theme this month is “Sensationally Sunkissed”. The makeup bag is hot pink, and it has pinked edges. Another blogger described it as looking like a “ravioli”. That really made me laugh, but I like it anyway. I think it’s cute and fun for summer. My pink clear plastic …
Boy, this year is going by so fast! It’s summer now, and I realize I’ve been a subscriber to ipsy for an entire year. (Strange, you think, she measures the passage of time in ipsy bags!). I received my twelfth ipsy bag a couple of days ago.The June theme is “Pretty in Paradise”, and the Rebecca …
First things first. Congratulations to Laura R. who won first prize in the NeoCell Collagen & Beauty Bursts giveaway. And woo hoo to Kim A. who was second prize winner, the Collagen Beauty Builder. I have sent emails to both winners. If I don’t hear back from them within 48 hours, new winners will be selected. …
This month, I received my Beauty Rocks Glam Bag from ipsy right on my birthday. It was like getting another present, especially since I didn’t get very many presents this year. (That’s OK, I got lots of gorgeous flowers instead!). I made an “unboxing” video in case you want to see what I got that …
I’m not doing a little video of my Ipsy bag this month. There were only 4 items inside, and they weren’t even mostly full size. So I think a photo will suffice. One of the things I liked the most in the March, Destination Beauty bag, was the makeup bag it came in. I love …
I’ve been traveling on business for the past two weeks. I was so lucky to get to leave the snowy, gloomy weather in New England behind for sunny and warm Phoenix and San Francisco. I hated to come home yesterday, especially knowing I was facing an unshoveled driveway, 70 foot unshoveled walkway and front steps …
I always seem to receive my monthly subscription beauty bag from ipsy later than other bloggers. So this month, I purposely didn’t look at any of the posts and reviews by others because, as usual, I wanted to be surprised. It arrived in the mail on Saturday while I was at Jeff’s for the weekend. …
Mid-December has arrived and so has my December “Celebration” ipsy bag! I was away when it arrived and the temperature outside that day in MA was 3 degrees! I was afraid the makeup was going to freeze and break. My friend Kim was kind enough to go out in the snowstorm and take it out …
You’re sick of listening to me complain about delivery problems with my ipsy bag. Well, not this month! My November “Glam It Up” ipsy bag arrived within four days of the notification email on November 11. So that means it arrived in my mailbox in the middle of the month rather than at the end …
This month, it took only two days for my ipsy bag to get from the central post office in MA to my local post office and delivery. Yay! So I got my bag only a few days behind most of the others. Things are looking up! The October ipsy bag theme is The Art …
This is the third month that I’ve been a subscriber to ipsy, a monthly service that provides a “customized” bag of beauty goodies for $10. The items are chosen for each subscriber from a list of about 10 items based on her responses to an online questionnaire.The bag has a different theme each month, but …
Last week, I posted a quick Instagram video that showed what I got in the July 2013 Beach Beauty Bag. Here’s a little more info on ipsy and the items in the bag. Again, ipsy is a monthly subscription service for beauty products. The price is $10/month with free shipping in the U.S. You can …
In this short post, I’d like to highlight two new things for me: Instagram video and the beauty sample box service, ipsy. Instagram makes it possible to upload 15 second videos, and I think I’ve figured out how to get them into my blog (at least it works with Safari and Firefox). Unfortunately, 15 seconds …
