In case you don’t already know how Ipsy works – it is a monthly makeup subscription service in which you receive 5 makeup products, usually sample size, and from a wide price range – but it only costs you $10 a month! You also receive amazing discounts on the brands and have the opportunity to earn free products as well.
For this month’s Ipsy bag I was once again surprised by the contents. I love when I forget to get the preview online. It’s more exciting!
If you don’t know how Ipsy works yet – it is a makeup subscription service for $10 a month. You receive 5 (usually sample size) beauty products corresponding with your personal profile.
I am so excited to review this month’s Ipsy bag! I was almost afraid something happened to my bag because I got it so late this month. But I think with all the hurricane commotion here in Florida, it might have been pushed back a little. I don’t know, but I’m happy I finally got it!
If you don’t know what Ipsy is you are seriously missing out! It’s a $10 monthly subscription service where you receive 5 makeup products in a cute makeup bag. The products range from drugstore brands to high-end brands. They are also a decent mix of sample size and full-size products. It’s such a good deal and a great way to try out different products.
So let’s jump into the reviews!
August’s Ipsy review is here!
Ipsy is a monthly subscription service that costs only $10 a month and you get at least 4 sample sized products and 1 full size. The subscription also comes with discount codes for all the products if you want to buy them full size. And if you sign up using my affiliate link, I get points and free stuff – then you can get points and free stuff for doing the same.

I’m so excited about this bag because I did something with it I haven’t done since I first signed up: I didn’t check the preview. So when I opened this month’s bag I had no idea what to expect.
So let’s get into the review of how everything holds up!
July’s Ipsy bag is so adorable, the design is perfect for this hot summer we’ve been having. It’s exactly how I feel.
If you’re interested in trying Ipsy – it’s only $10 a month and you get to try 4 sample size products and full size. It’s perfect for trying new things and testing out expensive brands. You can sign up with my affiliate link here. I get points for every person that signs up and then get free stuff with those points! And you can too if you sign up!
Ipsy also offers amazing discounts on the products if you decide to buy them. Ipsy is definitely one of the best makeup subscriptions out there and it’s only $10!
I just got back from a week-long vacation (if you follow our social media, you may have noticed) and I received my Ipsy bag the day before I left. So I haven’t had much of a chance this past week to try anything out.
I used to like waiting a few weeks before reviewing the products so I could have a chance to try them all. But by that time I find that everyone has moved onto their excitement for the next month’s bag. So I want to share my first impressions of my June Ipsy Bag.
The glam bag itself is super cute! It’s light canvas with white polka dots and a big ol’ pair of lips on the front. It’s small and lightweight, perfect for summer!
This month I wanted to do something a little different for my May Ipsy Review.
Every month I usually wait about 2 weeks until I review each product. I like to have time to actually use the product so I can give a fair review. That being said, I think by the time I post it everyone has moved on to their hopes and dreams for the next month’s bag.
So I want to review while it’s still fresh in everyone’s minds. I got my May Ipsy bag on May 11th, a little sooner than I usually do so I’ve had it for a few days already. And I can tell you that I’ve already used everything in my bag.
I recently bought quite possibly the cutest purse I have ever seen. It’s called a MulticSac – a backpack purse that converts to a cross-body and a handbag. It has about 75 pockets (okay at least 11). It’s a beautiful gray color with a texture that looks like leather but is all manmade materials so I didn’t feel guilty buying it.
The thing I love most about Ipsy, besides getting to try so many great products for a low cost, is how customizable the bags are. I love that I can set up my account profile and Ipsy always stays close to my settings. Ipsy also takes cues from my product reviews on their website. They’re always fine tuning and making sure I get the most out of my monthly bag.
This month was no different. The bag itself is possibly the cutest thing ever and everything inside the bag… well, let’s get started.
If you read my post about February’s Ipsy bag, you know I was not happy with it. Well, let’s just say that March’s bag MORE than makes up for it. I absolutely LOVE everything in my Ipsy bag, including the bag itself!
This month’s Ipsy bag was interesting, to say the least. I don’t want to give away too much before I review the products so let’s dive right in.
If I had to rate my January Ipsy bag, it would be a 9 out of 10! While I wasn’t expecting to love every product, I was pleasantly surprised that I did, for the most part.
Here’s what I thought of this month’s Ipsy bag:
For the last couple of Ipsy Reviews, I’ve contemplated canceling my subscription in hopes of trying something new. Well, after some research I realized that Ipsy is one of the best make-up boxes out there. It’s cheap, only $10 a month and no extra shipping cost; you get five personalized items, one of which is full size. You also receive cute bags every month. So, I don’t think I’ll be canceling anytime soon.
That being said, December’s Ipsy Bag was super cute. They were going for a bag that can also be a clutch, with a wristlet strap – perfect for the holiday season. The products themselves weren’t particularly exciting but there were two definite winners.
