In spite of a few glitches, I am really enjoying my upgraded Ipsy Glam Bag Plus subscription with 5 or more full size products for $25. I haven’t posted my January box yet, because one of the makeup items arrived smashed and they are sending me a replacement. Nevertheless, I’ve been very happy with the skincare and makeup products I’ve received. I didn’t think I wanted to get 5 full size products every month because it’s so hard to use them up, but I think I’ve gotten over that. It’s actually fun, and I’ve discovered a lot of great new products!
In my December Ipsy Glam Bag Plus, I received a full size bottle of Hey Honey Good Morning Honey Silk Facial Serum.
I have about a million and a half facial serums so at first I wasn’t sure I needed another one, but I really love this one. Plus it’s a daytime serum rather than a nighttime serum (I mostly have those), so all the better. Plus it’s another multitasking skincare product, and you know I love those.
Hey Honey Good Morning Honey Silk Facial Serum is a hydrating serum for all skin types, and it’s especially good for my dry skin. The key moisturizers and nutrients in this formula include sodium hyaluronate, sea buckthorn oil, honey, silk amino acids, and vitamin E. Even though it is highly moisturizing, it feels very lightweight.
The multitasking bit is that it’s also a primer. It can be used on its own, under moisturizer and under foundation. All of these applications work. The serum does contain dimethicone, the ingredient that provides the flawless finish for your foundation. My skin loves dimethicone and it does not clog my pores, but I know not everyone’s skin reacts like mine so I thought I should mention it upfront.
I really, really like this serum, so I decided to see what others think. On Ulta, it was rated 4.7 out of 5 with the vast majority of reviews being raves. I was surprised at how many women reported that they bought a full size bottle after trying a sample or how they repurchased it after finishing up their first bottle. The only negatives were from just a few women with oily skin who found it too rich for them in spite of the packaging saying it’s for all skin types, and a few women who must have discovered that the product contains dimethicone after they purchased it. Most love how nourishing the serum is and how smooth it makes their skin, and I agree.
Hey Honey Good Morning Honey Silk Facial Serum comes in a convenient plastic pump bottle that pumps out just the right amount for my full face. The pale yellow gel-cream is non-greasy and fast-absorbing. It has a very light pleasant melon scent that disappears on contact for me.
Hey Honey Good Morning Honey Silk Facial Serum is cruelty-free, SLS and parabens-free. It’s sold at Ulta, QVC, Walgreens.com, Dermstore.com, and on the Hey Honey website. It’s priced from $45-48 for 1 oz. depending on where you buy it. Since I paid $25 for my entire Ipsy Glam Bag Plus, I couldn’t be more thrilled to get this $45+ facial serum/primer as part of my bag!

This sounds like a wonderful multitasking serum, and I love that it doubles as a primer! The ingredients are so hydrating, and therefore perfect for this winter weather! I have never heard of this brand before, but I definitely want to check it out. It’s so great that the Ipsy bag actually featured products worthy of individual reviews, and repurchasing!
I have been quite happy with my Ipsy Plus subscription. So many of the products I got have become part of my regular rotation, yay!
I’m always looking for a great serum!
I love that Hey Honey Good Morning Face Serum is also a primer!
I admire your skin being able to try out different brands. I like that it can also be used for primer
I’m really lucky, Kathryne, that my skin has always been cooperative, and I have had few problems over the years. The only things I can’t use are skincare products that are drying or anything with peppermint 😉
I’m so glad you reviewed this. It was in my Ipsy bag and I didn’t know if it would be too fragranced for me. I’m glad to read it’s not. I have too many serums opened but as soon as I’m ready to move on I’ll be trying this.
For me, the light melon scent is pleasant, and I made a point of paying attention to whether it lingered. On me, the fragrance disappeared about 30 seconds after application. I know what you mean about having too many serums empty! I am almost finished with the Dr. Perricone eye serum that did nothing for me, so I will try the Good Molecules Eye Serum next.
I know many ipsy subscribers love this brand and always asking to buy or trade for the products. I have never tried anything from this brand but the ingredient list of this serum looks good.
I think I may have tried a travel size of something or other from Hey Honey when I had the regular Ipsy subscription. But this Good Morning Face Serum really impressed me!
Whoa, $25 for 5 full sized products?! How did I miss that deal? I had a product from Hey Honey somewhere in my room and now I’m going to go find it because I’m looking for some new face stuff. Awesome!
That’s an awesome addition to that bag, for the value!
The Ipsy Plus bags have really been great values. I love this $45-48 serum, and I got a $118 vitamin C serum last month. Crazy!
I’d definitely be willing to try this, especially if I can get it at Ulta!
If your skin is dry, it is amazing as a hydrator and a primer in one!
This sounds really nice and highly recommended!
I love serums and this one sounds really nice! That is a crazy good deal getting in your Ipsy bag!
