Ipsy Glam Bag September 2014 Review

I got my September 2014 Ipsy Glam Bag today, and this month's theme is Street Style. Take a look...

What it Is: A monthly beauty subscription service.

What it Does: Offers 5 samples/full sized products in a cute little makeup bag.

What it Costs: $10 a month

Where to Get It: Online at Ipsy.com

Similar To: Birchbox, Beauty Box 5, Sample Society.

Quick Rating: Love (mostly)!



First off, I have to talk about how cute the bag is this month! It's soft, buttery and floppy, almost like real leather would be, plus I love the gray color with the studs. Thankfully, this one doesn't have a plastic smell or feel as stiff as cardboard like the last few bags I received!

Hikari Lipstick in Cabernet (Full Size, Worth $13). This lipstick has great reviews and people say that it's moisturizing and long lasting, but the color- aargh! Another red lipstick...I swear, I have only gotten a nude shade once in all the boxes I've gotten in the span of two years. Red lipstick makes me look like a clown. So please Ipsy, Birchbox, Beauty Box 5, and Julep...send some neutral lipsticks or my-lips-but-better shades that look good on everyone!

Leeanni 3-in-1 Revolution Light (.5 oz, Worth $3.75).  This is a toner, serum and lotion in one step, which is a great time-saving idea. It feels nice on my skin, but we're heading into Winter and this is supposed to be for oily skin...I have super dry skin so I have a feeling this won't be enough. I'm not sure why Ipsy matched me with this product, since it's for the polar opposite skin type of mine. I could see if it was for normal skin even, but oily? Hmmm...

 Crown Infinity Deluxe Shadow/Crease Duet Brush (Full Size, Reg. $17.50 on sale for $7). I was so excited to get a quality makeup brush and I love that this one is double ended! The fibers are so soft and the crease brush is small and perfect for getting right into the crease. I love it!

Briogeo Don't Dispair, Repair Deep Conditioning Mask (1oz., worth $5- Full Size is 5.25oz for $26).  I've been checking this brand out on Sephora.com recently while browsing for hair products.  I noticed it because in addition to being a new brand at Sephora, most of their products have 5-star ratings.  I was actually about to order one to see what all the fuss is about, but I didn't have to because Ipsy sent me one of the products I was eyeing up! This has avocado, silk, keratin, sweet almond oil, argan oil and aloe to bring parched strands like mine back to life.  I can't wait to try it out!

Pacifica Natural Waterproof Eyeliner in Fringe (brown)- Full Size $11- This is about half a pencil I'm guessing, so worth about $6.50? 
I love eyeliners, use them every day and actually needed a new brown one. I'm excited to try this out since it's supposed to be waterproof and I always have issues with liners migrating on me. I've always had good experiences with Pacifica products, so I'm happy to have this!

This month's Ipsy Glam Bag had over $35 worth of products in it for $10!  This bag is always one of the best in terms of value... I don't know how they do it. The three products I loved (the brush, conditioner and eyeliner) make up for the red lipstick I'm not going to use and the moisturizer that's not moisturizing enough for me (I'm sure I'll find some use for it anyway).  Overall, it was a good solid bag.
