March 2015 ipsy Glam Bag Review + Giveaway
I love makeup! It took me a while to really start trying new products and brands, but I am loving all the amazing beauty products that are available out there! It was last year that my sisters were talking about different makeup subscriptions that got me interested. So what did I do (being the blogger I am)? That’s right – I googled makeup subscriptions. One of the companies I really liked (and thought was pretty affordable with good products) was ipsy. Hey, for $10.75 per month (that’s including sales tax for where I live in California), I would totally be willing to sign up and check out new products! March was going to be my first month and I was super excited!
The March bag was the first ipsy bag I received and I loved it! I read about a lot of subscription bags and so far, Ipsy is my favorite. Why? First, it’s inexpensive. Second, you get a makeup bag with each month’s order (sweet, right?!!!). Third, it includes products I feel like I will actually use on a regular basis.
In the March 2015 ipsy Glam Bag, I received the following items:
– Coolway Glow Oil Treatment – Perfect your style with a runway-ready Glow! Ordinary finishing oils are designed to add vibrancy back into hair but often contain Sulfates, Parabens, Alcohol and other ingredients that can make hair dull, dry, and faded. °Coolway’s Glow™ contains none of these harmful components. It combines a natural and nutrient-rich formula of Vitamin E and Porphyra Seaweed extract to maintain moisture and balance so your hair remains beautiful and shiny throughout the day.
– Pixi By Petra: Mesmerizing Mineral Duo – Give your eyes a shimmery summer glow with this Pixi by Petra Mesmerizing Mineral Eye Duo in Apricot Glow made exclusively for ipsy. These ultra-smooth shadows blend effortlessly and can be used wet or dry, depending on your desired makeup look.
– NYX Cosmetics: Butter Lipstick (in Pops) – Pamper your lips with a hydrating kiss of smooth Butter Lipstick in 22 luxurious shades. The delicate texture of satin fused with the high color saturation creates an even finish on lips that’s long-wearing and beautiful. ipsters who sample NYX Butter Lipstick will either receive: Hunk, Little Susie, or Pops.
– Chella Ivory Lace Highlighter – This fresh and pretty neutral pencil will brighten and visibly lift your eyes when lightly applied on the brow bone, dark circles, blemishes and red spots. In addition, this multi-purpose pencil can be used to brighten and “open” the eye area by applying to the water line and inner corners of the eye. Applying a thin, blended line down the center of the nose creates the illusion of a thinner nose. Perfect for highlighting a beautiful smile by eliminating dark shadows and preventing lipstick spread by applying to the Cupid ’s bow and along the lip line.
– Crown Brush: Oval Concealer Brush – The Crown Brush Oval Concealer Brush is made of 100% Flexible Japanese Torray Taklon Bristles (synthetic). The brush can be used for application and blending of all concealer formulas, emollient products and for applying cream based shadows. The tapered tip is for precision placement and great for use around the lip area to conceal when wearing bold colors.
I can’t wait for the April 2015 ipsy Glam Bag to arrive! You can sign up for ipsy too for just $10 a month!
**To share my excitement about the ipsy subscription, I came back later and added this fun giveaway!!!**
GIVEAWAY: One lucky winner will receive $20 via Paypal to purchase a new ipsy subscription!
Do you have an ipsy subscription? What did you get in your bag?
You and I are complete opposites. I don’t wear makeup. At all 🙂
This is a great glam bag! I love the eye shadow the most. It’s a great color!
I’ve been contemplating the ipsy bag for awhile now, everyone seems to love it! It looks like you got awesome items this month, looking forward to seeing what you get next time 🙂
I’m so not a make up girl. I wish I was so I could try all these cool, fancy boxes!
I don’t wear makeup enough to have a subscription like this. It would be neat to receive a few products to try out though.
I love that NYX lippie color. It’s super cute.
It looks like you got some really great stuff. I like the Apricot Glow. I don’t wear any makeup, but I will share this with my friends that do.
I dont do a lot of makeup, but this looks good. Great usable products.
I had not heard of this brand but it seems you get a lot of great products for your money. I will need to check into this.
Great products. Ipsy is a great subscription. I just wish I wore makeup more so I could of felt like my subscription was worth it. It just kept piling up and I had overstock!
You look fabulous! I love the color of the lipstick, it looks so good on your skin tone.
I have never heard of ipsy before, but the shipment you got looks like a lot of fun! The price point per month is very reasonable too!
Looks like you got some great things this time, I’m jealous!
[…] can check out my ipsy March 2015 Glam Bag goodies here on The Mommy-Files as well! Head to ipsy to sign up if you love makeup […]
Love the lip butter! It’s such a good way to pamper and moisten my lips!
I don’t find myself loving Ipsy bags as much as I used to. I will say though the Mesmerizing Mineral Duo is gorgeous and it’s probably the only thing I would actually want and wear from the bag this month.
I rarely wear makeup so I don’t have a subscription box for makeup. These all look like great products for the makeup lover.
I like the subscription model that a lot of places are trying out now. It’s a good way to get exposure to different things if you don’t have the time to do a ton of digging around yourself or live far from big cities (like we do).
$10.75 is a good deal! I wish we had these subscriptions here. I love the Glow Oil Treatment and NYX’s butter lipstick.
I’ve heard a lot of great things about Ipsy. But I don’t wear makeup enough to justify getting it.
I am bad about trying new makeup. Or wearing it for that matter. lol
Nice stuff, but my makeup draw is running over with products I just don’t use or use enough to buy more. Great if you use it up. Looks like good products.
Well that’s a nice box to get in the mail. I don’t think I’ve heard of the ipsy glam bag until now. Pretty cool!
I need a glam bag! I am not a big makeup person, but that might get me into it
This looks like a great subscription box. I have been trying to decide on a box to try. I would love to try new makeup.
Ipsy looks like a great way to be introduced and try new products. I would be open to trying this subscription since I have been wearing the same eyeshadow and blush colors for years.
I like lipstick.
I love the butter balm! I get the ipsy bag too and am so excited when it comes.
I need to sign up with Ipsy. Those colors look great on you and the products are awesome.
