With infinite beauty product combinations in the marketplace, choosing the best items for your needs can be a challenge! That was why Michelle created ipsy. Michelle and her team of stylists have selected products they love, for you to try.
Each month, subscribers will receive a beautiful Glam Bag with deluxe samples and full-sized beauty products. Members can watch and play along with the stylists with the same products that they are using. All for only $10 a month.
I have really started to enjoy getting this subscription and look forward to every month. I got this a few weeks ago, but have been slacking on writing reviews.
December “Celebration” Glam Bag
This is what my package looked like when I opened my mailbox. It came in a pretty pink bubble wrap package.
Outer Package
When I opened the package it was a black make-up bag. It came with this postcard titling this month as “Celebration.” The postcard contained the companies who contributed to this month and discounts available.

Nicka K Nail Polish-NY112 Classic Taupe ($4.99)-I was excited to see nail polish in my bag, but when I saw the color it left a lot to be desired for. The best way to describe the color is mud. It could be a brown, gray, or purple depending on how it hits the light.

J.Cats Beauty The Big Lip Pencil-Crayon Rouge ($3.99)-I really like using lip crayons. It is a great cross between lip stick, lip liner and lip gloss. This color is a little bright for me but I like it. I never would have discovered lip crayons without subscription boxes.

Be a Bombshell The One Stick-Girl Crush ($16)-The One Stick can be used for lipstick, blush, and eyeshadow. I don’t really go for the One Stick. There is no way I could put blush on with a stick. I think I would have to use a brush to apply it. I think it would feel week to use the stick also for eyeshadow, so again I would have to use a brush. The color is described as a pearlescent light pink which is way to pink for me. I need more of a peachy tone for my skin.

Pop Beauty Bright Up Your Life-Naturally Bare ($7.20)-This comes with three different shades of eyeshadow. It has brown tones to it and is for a natural look. I saw that some got the gray tones and was really hoping that I would be getting those colors. Unfortunately, I got the brown tones so I will be giving this to one of my sisters.

Signature by English Laundry (Samples)-When I opened the pretty pink package I could smell that I had gotten perfume. Unfortunately if you look at the little bottles you can see that both of them leaked in the bag. Either way I did not care for the scents and since both bottles were leaking I had to throw them out.

Make-up bag ($3)-I liked this bag this month. It is black on the outside and has a nice deep red lining on the inside. It really smelled like the perfume but after airing out for a few weeks the smell has gone away and I plan on using this for something.
All in all the total of this ipsy bag of cosmetics comes to $32.18 (not including the make-up bag). With this bag of makeup only costing $10, I would say it is totally worth it, I did not get many things I want to keep for myself, however my sisters will definitely enjoy them. The lip pencil pays for the bag for itself. I am going to continue to get ipsy and see what next month brings.
