I have gotten so many different subscription boxes, and have yet to blog about them until now so fresh start should start with a new (to me) box, right?!
Okay so in case you aren't familiar with subscription box services (albeit this one is more of a subscription bag service) you pay a certain amount of money to get (generally) a mystery box/bag full of stuff based on whatever service you signed up for monthly (sometimes weekly/bimonthly etc).
Ipsy is a subscription service just for ladies. They give you trail and full samples of beauty products based off your glam profile online (your preferences determined by taking a short quiz when you sign up). What I think is awesome about this, is not only do you get 4-6 beauty products, but you also get a 'glam' bag each month which is a little make up bag. This is all only 10$
I've heard people raving about Ipsy, so I figured I'd give it a shot for 10$ this is what I got-
My Ipsy package arrived
in the mail box in a fabulous shiny pink bubble wrap. My 1 year old walked with me to the mailbox, and is generally kind of ticked off when we walk away because he is OBSESSED with the mail box. The first thing I thought when I saw this package was 'SCORE AWESOME DISTRACTION!' to which it was. We didn't even have to creepily stand at all the mailboxes, I just picked him up and he was absolutely content playing with the shinny bubble wrap (aren't we all?).
Anything with plant/floral patterns I fall in love with, it's like they were trying to lure me into more subscriptions with green plant print (spoiler alter- it worked).
Inside was all this beauty 'swag' (heh). Plus a 'fresh picks' note. At first glance I was super happy, these looked like trail sized mostly but I was happy regardless 5 (6 with the bag) products for only 10$.
The first thing was Hang Ten SPF 50 Sunscreen. Now I have A LOT of sunscreen, so this was probably my least favorite item, but I WAS happy that it was a nice travel size. this is SPF 50, works for 80 minutes under the water. This trial size is 1 oz, the full sizes are usually 6, so I'll price this at $2.50
The next item I was excited about. It's call 'Hey Honey take it off" peeling mask. I love facial masks! This is a exfoliating honey mask. Meant to moisturize and pull of dirt and grime. I'm super excited to try it. The full size is 1.7 oz, while the trial size was 10 ml. The full size is $35 (ouch, at least I get to try it out) so I'll price the trial as $5.
This is the next product, which I had no idea WHAT it was. 'Therapy Session Hair Mask' Hair mask? Sounds kinda weird. When I looked it up I found it's a cream that Deeply conditions, repairs, and strengthens dry and damaged hair. Absolutely something I will be trying. The trial size I got is 2.3 oz while the full size is approx. 17 oz. priced at full at $15, I priced this trial size at about $2.
This. This I was confused about. 'Eau Thermale Thermal Spring Water' Do I drink it and gain full perfect breasts and flawless skin? Do I get powers? No? Okay, well I had to look it up. I found it's a facial spray (I'm not sure how I feel about spraying something on my face) that soothing and softens your skin. I'm not sure how I feel about this, but hey it's worth a shot. This trial size was approx. 2 ounces. The full size is about 5 ounces, priced at $12, making this worth about $4.
The last was make up! I was really excited about this. I love eye shadow and it happened to come in my fvaorite color (violet purple) and a color I where pretty often (white). They are both a bit shimmery which I like. I couldn't find a price so I'll guess it to be about $3.
The total of my bag was 16.50, with the bag which I would price at $5 a little over 20$. Absolutely worth the $10 value.
Overall I'm really pleased with this even if there were no full sized products. This is to promote products and the site provides coupons if you do chose to buy full sized products. Ipsy is fun and I will absolutely be using it again.
