GlamBag

Hello there!

For my first post, to try things out, I decided to write about ipsy's GlamBag. I just got mine in the mail, so this is some pretty exciting stuff we got here.

First, a little about ipsy and GlamBag. Ipsy was created by Michelle Phan and some of her beauty friends. It is a website for women, by women. It is a place where you can make videos, tutorials and blog like posts about anything fashion. GlamBag is a bag full of make-up goodies that you can get through ipsy.

GlamBag is a variation of the mystery boxes you can get from other sources. Those boxes can vary from mystery food items to make-up. Since I am bad about trying new make-up, mostly due to price, I figured that a mystery bag would be perfect for me to try out. I did my research, and ipsy's GlamBag is by far the cheapest one out there and is one of the few that comes with full sized products. You must either be a monthly subscriber or get the year plan. They have a limited number of spots, so becoming a subscribed user may take time. It took me about 2 months before some spots opened up.

Each month there is a theme and each month the ipsy staff release sneak peaks of the items. You get between 3-5 full sized items for 10$ a month. The products you get total to much more than 10$. So it's really getting a bang for your buck. So...let's see what I got this month!

 Ta da! Each month the bag design changes. It also comes with some coupons that GlamBag subscribers can use.

 These are the products I got with their actual price:

Zoya: Blue nail polish 8$
Juice Beauty: Reflecting Lip Gloss 15$
Pacifica: Island Vanilla Perfume Roll-On 12$
Macadamia: Healing oil Treatment 13.50$
Yaby: Concealer Refills 5.06$

Total GlamBag price: 10.80$
Total Items Price: 53.56
Total Saved: 42.76$

Not too bad! Got some new items to try and saved a lot of money.

Now for the items review!

 I've always wanted a Pacifica perfume and when I found out it was in this month's bag I was super excited. I got Island Vanilla. I haven't decided if I am fan of this scent or not. It's very strong and I am not a huge fan of strong scents.

 This little guy is...TINY! Maybe the size of a penny, but it is a refill item so it makes sense.  I was worried I would get a funky color, but before you subscribe the website makes you take a test where you do tell them your skin tone. Seems like the ipsy team really does use your replies when they mail you the bags, because I got a color that actually works with my skin tone. The concealer goes on very smoothly and doesn't flake when it dries.

 I am not a huge lip gloss fan...but, I LOVE THIS! It goes on very smooth and the scent is amazing. This appears to be a product made from all natural ingredients. It smells like oranges. Plus, it is not too shimmery. Again, love it!

 I haven't tried this hair oil yet, but I read very good reviews about it. We'll see how that goes. I have good hopes for this item.

The color is a pastel blue. This seems like a pretty good polish. You can get away with just putting on one coat and you still get a solid color. Dries pretty quickly too.


Well, that's it. Hope you enjoyed this little post and if you want any of these items or wish to subscribe to the monthly baggy, scroll up for the links.
