As you may have seen in my birthday haul, I got a 6 month subscription to Ipsy! If you haven't heard of Ipsy before it's a monthly subscription website where you get 4 or 5 products (frequently full sized) each month in a cute cosmetics bag for $10. See more on www.ipsy.com Since this is my first bag, I thought I'd share about the shipping & package. My bag was shipped May 8th and arrived on May 15th, a day before it was expected to arrive. It actually got to the post office on May 11th and just wasn't delivered. These bags come in the mail and I'm not sure if they are every month, but this month the bag came in a cute pink envelope instead of a boring old yellow one. This month's theme was Spring Fling and came in a teal & orange chevron/zig zag bag. It's not a super high quality bag but it's adorable and just an extra add in that other subscription programs don't have. Zoya Nail Polish (FULL SIZED)Price: $8 * http://www.artofbeauty.com/content/38/item/Zoya/Zoya-Nail-Polish-GeiGei-ZP651.html Continuing with my trend of firsts, this is my first Zoya polish. I was excited when I learned that this month's bag included a polish from the Zoya Lovely Spring collection because I really wanted 3 from the collection. I wanted Blu, Jacqueline & Neely. Sadly, I didn't get any of those, instead I go the color Gei Gei / Gie Gie (The website says Gei Gei, but my polish says Gie Gie) This color is a light cool-toned pink with shimmer. It's an okay color, but, it's nothing special and is too pale for my pale skin. However, the formula is great. It's applies evenly and isn't too thick or thin. Swatches will come soon in the Nails section. Anastasia Clear Brow GelFull Size Price: $22 http://www.anastasia.net/clear-brow-gel.html I was very excited about this one, because I've wanted to try out the Anastasia brow gel for a while. I was going to get a tinted one earlier and got a brow powder kit from Sephora instead. Pacifica Rollerball (FULL SIZED)Price: $12 * http://www.pacificaperfume.com/roll-perfume/tahitian-gardenia-perfume-roll Yep, you get a full sized rollerball in this Ipsy bag! I really like this because I've found that other subscription boxes have mini fragrance samples, while Ipsy gives you the real thing. I'm not really a floral scent fan, so I'm not crazy about this one, but I think I can warm up to it. I do think people who like floral perfumes will like this though. Yaby Concealer RefillPrice: $5.06 * http://camerareadycosmetics.com/products/yaby-concealer-flawless-refill.html I'm not sure if this is a full size because the website doesn't say how big the full sized concealer is. I'm going to assume that it isn't though because it is quite tiny. Ipsy selected the shade Vanilla for me, which is the palest shade they offered. I think it is a tiny bit too light, but not enough to notice. It's actually good because I have been wanting a lighter concealer for under the eyes. Review, swatches & photos will be coming soon. Mirabella Colour Sheer LipstickPrice: $22 * http://www.mirabellabeauty.com/lips/colour-sheers.html Right here you get your money back for the bag plus $12. In this bag, I received a full sized Mirabella Colour Sheers Lipstick in the color Daydream. Daydream is a mauve pink with a tiny bit of frosty shimmer. I'm not a huge fan of mauve, so I wish I received a different color, but it's very comfortable on the lips and is smooth and easy to apply. Swatches, more photos & a review will be coming soon for this lipstick. DealsAnother awesome thing about Ipsy, is that they give you a ton of deals and coupon codes so you can buy the full size or more of the products you got! Here's the deals for May 2013:
There are more deals, but, these are the ones for the products I received in my Ipsy bag. Final OpinionsI am really happy about my bag, however I found that most of the products weren't the right choice for me. Like the lipstick, while I like the formula, isn't a color I'm a fan of. Also, the concealer is a tad light. The rollerball is a floral scent, which I haven't ever liked. Lastly, I would have preferred a different Zoya shade. But, I do like the actual product of everything. I'm really excited to get my next bag and will probably subscribe after my 6 months end!
