Ipsy

The May Ipsy bag was AWESOME! Seriously, mine had 3 FULL SIZE products in it!! For 10 bucks!

And Ipsy has actually switched it up this month. They typically offer everyone the same products just in a different color (different shade of lipstick, different color of nail polish, etc.), but this month, they actually have around 15 different products that you could have gotten in your bag according on how your beauty profile is filled out. I am definitely pleased with my bag this month, but I really liked the fact that before everyone got the same thing. I just think when you start mixing things up like that, people get pissed off because they don't get what they wanted even though this is a sampling service...

Anywho, so Ipsy is auto deducted from your banking account around the 1st of every month and the bags ship out around the 10th. They do ship from the West Coast, so according on where you live you might want to give it a little more travel time before tracking that little gem.


You can see the Spring Fling info card that came with the bag listing all of the possible product brands on the back and showing what discounts are available (I photoed the pretty side) and also there was an offer from NuMe for a coupon code for $150 off of some of their products. I've not really checked into the NuMe offer, but I do know from a previous bag that had something similar in it, that their products are not cheap and I think even with the $150 deducted you would still end up paying for whatever you pick out.

The cosmetic bag this month is a cool blue and orange chevron stripe that seems to be trendy right now. And also, you can see some of the pink mailer peeking out from behind.



There were 5 products in this month's bag.
Juice Beauty Reflecting Gloss-full size- The color I received was Champagne, which is kind of nudish. It definitely has a nice shine to it and there is NO stickiness whatsoever to this gloss.

Zoya Nail Polish-full size- The color is actually a light purple, but you really can't tell from the pic.

Pacifica Roll On Perfume-full size- The fragrance I received was Tahitian Gardenia-This heady, vintage-inspired blend showcases the sacred Gardenia bloom, a symbol of love, unity, grace and strength. It's sweet, smooth and slightly citrusy aroma is reminiscent of Jasmine, Sweet Orange and Tea Leaves. I think this is really neat because I've never had a roll on perfume before.

Yaby Concealer Refills-My shade was Buff, I've not tried it yet, but probably needed the Vanilla color instead because I am pale!

Macadamia Healing Oil Treatment-Macadamia Hair's light weight Healing Oil Treatment instantly absorbs into the hair to provides intense nourishment. It contains Omega 7 fatty acids, which is an essential component of skin and hair health. The Healing Oil penetrates the hair and scalp to improve strength, eliminates frizz, reduces blow drying time, and extends the life of color treatments. Instant absorption, light-weight and has a non-greasy feel. Natural UV protection. I also have not had the chance to try this out yet.

Something else new that Ipsy is doing is referrals. Their website states for every two referrals on your account that you will receive either an Urban Decay Eyeshadow or bracelet from The Bauble Bar. Here's my link if anyone is interested!
