Ipsy Bag Review - December

Best time of the month is here….Ipsy time!

This is seriously the best bag out there, especially for such a low price.  If you are looking to start a beauty subscription, I would definitely try Ipsy first.

As you know this box is $10 a month….how can you not go for it?

 Without further ado….the December Ipsy bag! This bag had a theme of "Celebration!"

1. NYX Lipstick in Iris  - .14 oz. (FULL SIZE)

I am a little bummed about the color of this lipstick.  It’s so close to one I just received….but with a hint of sparkle. I love lip products, but I just don’t see myself using this one much. Hopefully one of my Pretty Little Beauty Swap matches will like it!

            Full Size: $4.00 My Value: $4.00

2. Pop Beauty Eye Shadow Trio in Smokin’ Hot - .15 oz. (FULL SIZE)

Ahhh! I love this! The colors are perfect! Great smoky eye colors!  Can’t say much more about this except I am so happy I got it!

Full Size: $24.00 (for a palette of 10 shades) My Value: $7.20

3. Nicka K Nailpolish in Ripe Apple - .5 oz. (FULL SIZE)

Oh hey look, it’s a red nail polish.  It’s not like I have gotten several of these in the past few months. Geez.  This bums me out.  I wish I used nail polish more….I’d probably love getting these in my beauty box! Maybe I will give this one a shot, just for the holidays.

Full Size: $4.99  My Value: $4.99

    4.   Be a Bombshell The One Stick in Flustered – .26 oz. (FULL SIZE)

Ugh. Yet another red color.  I am soooo bummed about this!  Why is every beauty box sending out multiple red products this winter.  I know it’s the trend, but its way too many!  I think I would have really liked this product if it were in a different color.  This red is just too orangey for my complexion. I looked like a clown when I tried it as a lip product.  I still have to try it as a blush…hopefully that will look ok.

Full Size: $16.00  My Value: $16.00

    5.  English Laundry Signature Perfume in Pour Homme & Pour Femme –.17 oz. each

Um these smell amazing and this month’s bag is worth it for these alone!  I took me forever to figure out that they sent one for men and one for women.  So….C wins on this one too!  I would seriously consider buying the women’s fragrance if I didn’t have so many perfumes already, it smells amazing.

Full Size: $72.00 1.7 oz. My Value:$7.20 per vial, $14.40 total

Final Cost: $10.00

Final Value: $46.59

Well I think the items in this bag were hit or miss with me.  I really loved the eye shadow trio and the perfume, but I was bummed about the colors of the lip products and I just plain don’t like nail polish.

That doesn’t mean I’m still not madly in love with Ipsy though! I still think it’s the best thing out there as far as beauty boxes!  I tried to do more reviews on their site this time, hopefully they will stop sending me colors I just don’t care for.

Also, I was thinking, maybe some of you guys would like the colors that I don’t?  Would you be interested in giveaways for products I don’t think I’ll use?

(Also, I swear I’m not a review blog….I just like sharing these things in hopes that other people will get to have the same fun that I do!  I am not compensated in any way.)
