For the last two years I have received an Ipsy Glam Bag in the mail. Every month I always look forward to it. Not only is it a great “surprise” every month (who doesn’t like getting mail?!) but it’s also awesome to be able to try out products!!
For those unfamiliar with Ipsy I’ll give you a little summary. It’s a monthly subscription of 5 makeup/beauty items that come to your door for $10/month. It’s a great way to try a new mascara, lipstick or face mask. You can tailor the bag not only to your personal preferences (say you want more skin care than make up) but also to what would look best with your skin tone and eye color.
I thought it would be fun to review my May Ipsy bag for you. I had some amazing products in it. You can find more information about the products by clicking on their picture.

BADgal BANG! Volumizing Mascara in Black
You guys know I LOVE trying new mascaras! This is a good one and I was really impressed! It it quite “Wet” and a little goes a long way but I was happy that it didn’t flake throughout the day. It was a littler harder to get off but still not as bad as some I’ve tried.
LABORATOIRES FILORGA Time-Filler Absolute Correction Wrinkle Cream
Well unfortunately I’m not getting any younger and wrinkles are appearing…rapidly..lol..I’ve been using this as a line filler for my forehead before putting on my primer and I do see a difference. It reduces the viability of my lines. The good thing about this is a little bit goes a LONG way so even the sample size they gave me should last awhile.
IBY BEAUTY
Radiant Glow Highlighter in 24k Magic
I can honestly say I’ve never met a highlighter I didn’t like and I still can’t say it. Highly pigmented this highlighter will have you glowing in seconds!
THE BEAUTY CROP
Bronzer in Tanneries
I run Hot & Cold with bronzers…I tend to use my bronzer more in the Summer which I’m pretty sure is backwards because I need the color more in the Winter. I will say I didn’t LOVE this one…it might just be because I’m currently using one that I really love which is the MORPHE bronzer. I just didn’t feel that this one blended as nice.
HOLA NEON
Matte Liquid Lipstick in FOMO
Wow-that pretty much sums up this one. Super long lasting without fading. No need for lip liner as it doesn’t bleed. This color was a little dark for me for summer but will be amazing come Fall.
This bag was well worth the $10 charge and almost all of the items are much more to purchase. They do usually send you a “travel” size but I will say it’s very generous and that highlighter will last a good 6 months.
Let me know if you have any questiosn! I’d be happy to help!
