ipsy is a
monthly subscription box company created by Michelle Phan and is $10 a month.
You get a mix of makeup, skincare and hair care items, usually 4-5 full- or
deluxe sample size products in a makeup bag. When you sign up for ipsy, you
take a quiz in order for bags to be customized to your skin type/tone, and your
general preferences. You can retake the quiz as many times as you like. You can
also review each product in your bag to help ipsy further customize your future
bags and earn points to purchase products. You also receive points when people sign up for ipsy through your referral link.
Below are
the items I received:
Bag: I like
the bag. It is a mid-tone sky blue on one side and has a graphic floral pattern
on the other. It’s vinyl like all the other bags I’ve gotten. It goes with
ipsy’s “Floral Fantasy” theme for this month.
Product #1: NYX Butter Lipstick in
BLS12 Little Susie (Full-Size)
I’ve wanted to pick up a NYX butter
lipstick to compare it to the Revlon and Almay butter lipsticks. I, of course,
finally picked some up at Ulta just to get this in the mail the following day!
This is a great bright magenta shade; it will be perfect for Spring/Summer. The
formula is smooth and it applies easily. The color payoff is good, but
reapplication will be needed throughout the day.
Value: $6
Product #2: Crown Brush AC012
Shadow/Crease Duet Brush (Full-Size)
I’ve heard mixed reviews about Crown
Brush brushes, but I do enjoy getting brushes in subscription boxes. The bigger
end is stiff and didn’t blend really well. I think I would only use this to put
shadow all over my lid. The smaller end is too stiff to be able to blend into
the crease; I would only use this to exaggerate the outer corner of my eye. I’m
not impressed with this brush. The bristles aren’t soft either.
Value: $7
Product #3: pur~lisse Pur-Delicate
Gentle Soy Milk Cleanser and Makeup Remover (1 oz.)
pur~lisse is a high end brand so I
am excited to finally get to try it. This face cleanser claims to be good for
all skin types and to remove all makeup without stripping skin. It has White
Tea to calm skin and Blue Lotus to leave skin soft. It left my skin still
moisturized and removed makeup well. It has a watery consistency.
Value: $6.50
Product #4: LeeAnni Eco 3 in 1
Revolution Light Toner Serum and Moisturizer in One (0.5 oz.)
I’ve never heard of this brand, but
they claim this product is natural, gluten free, vegan and never tested on
animals which is always a plus for me. This 3 in 1 product is for normal to
oily skin so I’ll have to see how my dry to normal skin reacts. It has a very
slight scent that is pleasant and I think comes from the rose flower in the
product
Value: $3.75
Product #5: Pixi by Petra
Mesmerizing Mineral Duo in Apricot Glow
I don’t see these duos for sale
online, but Pixi does have a mesmerizing mineral palette that includes six
shades for $12, so I’m guessing on the value here. I’m not sure if this means
that the duos are no longer sold or if this is a sampler pack based on the palettes.
I’ve been wanting to try Pixi products (available at Target) but it’s pricey
and never has coupon/sales so I’m excited to get this eyeshadow duo in ipsy. I
love both of the colors. The lighter one is a peach champagne and the darker is
a coppery peach. They both had good staying power, there was only minimal
fading by the end of the day (I always use eyeshadow primer).
Value: $4
Overall Value: $27.25
I really like this bag (literally
too, since I also liked the bag it came in) and it is definitely worth the $10
price tag. I love both the lipstick and eyeshadow duo. The face wash and the
moisturizer will be used, and I needed a new face wash since the boscia one I’m
trying is not working out. The brush is a miss for me, but I’ll take 4/5 any
day.
If you
subscribe to ipsy, what did you get in your bag? I’m curious to see if we
received the same items or not!
