Hey, everyone! I got my Ipsy bag the other day, so I thought I'd post some pics. I've been getting these bags since May and, for the most part, have really loved them. This month wasn't my favorite though.
If you don't know what Ipsy is, it's a cosmetics subscription service. It's $10 a month and you get 5-6 deluxe samples or full size products. When you sign up, you fill out a brief survey that allows Ipsy to personalize your bag. You will get a lot of the same things that other people get, but you'll get different colors or fragrances, etc. It's a really great service and not nearly as expensive as some of the other ones out there.

So, these are the products I received this month with a break down of their prices. Usually, just one product will balance out the cost of the subscription. Then, it's like you got all the other products for free! Not to mention that you get a really cute makeup bag every month that is ALWAYS different!
This is from a company called Pop Beauty and the color is in Coral Crush. It's a little more coral in person than in this picture. The Pouty Pop Crayon is only sold in sets of 6 for $25. So, if you break it down, this one came out to $4.16.
This is a sample from bh Cosmetics California Collection. There's one color from each collection. The collections are priced at $7, but individual shadows are $ .98. So, I priced the sample based on the individual shadow price and came up with $2.94. I have to say that I'm disappointed in this one. As pretty as the colors are, the pigmentation just isn't there and they were chalky. I had to rub really hard just to get enough to make the colors show up in the photo.
This is from Healthy Sexy Hair. It's their Soy Renewal Beach Spray. It's supposed to give you texture whether you use it wet or dry. This one is $5.49
This is a perfume oil by Demeter in Salt Air. It's a roll on, which I like. I'm not sure how I feel about the scent yet. I'm going to have to wear it for a bit. This one alone was $10, so there's the price of the subscription right there.
Lastly, there was a sample of the Coola Organic Suncare Classic Sunscreen spf 30 in Cucumber. I really love the scent of this and wish that the sample had been a bit bigger. I haven't used this yet, so I'm not sure how my skin will react to it. It's supposed to be organic, so hopefully it won't bother my sensitive skin. I couldn't find a price for the sample, but the full sized bottle is $32 for 1.7 oz. So, I guess if you do the math it would come out to $7.36 for a .23 oz tube. I could be wrong, math is NOT a strong point of mine!
All together, this bag has a value of $22.59. With the sunscreen, the value would be $29.95
I found the prices at the individual products websites. Each month, Ipsy will provide discounts for the products that you want to purchase full sizes of. I did a video for my unboxing on youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zUzryqDbnSg
