My favorite part of September was receiving my Ipsy Glam Bag. If you have never heard of Ipsy, then you will now! Ipsy was created by the famous makeup artist Michelle Phan and is a subscription that sends you five beauty products each month. They personalize your bag so that you’re not getting products that don’t match your skin tone or that you don’t like. The products are either a deluxe sample size or full size. Best part of it all is that it’s only $10 a month and you can cancel at any time. I was really sceptical before I signed up but honestly it has been great. I have never been disappointed with anything that I have gotten in my Glam Bag. I’m not even trying to sell anything, so you have to believe me! Well, you don’t, but honestly the bags are great. To prove it to you I’m posting my September “Glamazon” Bag (did I mention it’s themed every month?) to show you some of the amazing products that you should give a try!
The Glamazon Bag
Each month you get a cute bag that all your products come in. This month’s theme was “Glamazon” so it has a tribal feel to the makeup bag. These are great for travel, and they are so cute so that is always a bonus! They would even be great as stocking stuffers once you received enough of them!
1. Bellá Pierre Cosmetics Mineral Blush in Autumn Glow
Retail Cost: $20
I’ve never heard of this brand before, but this blush is amazing! The color I got is perfect for the fall. I checked out their website and they have several colors that look great and a few other products I cannot wait to try.
2. Crown Brush, Ombre Angle Brush
Retail: $7.99
I’ve also never heard of Crown Brushes until this month’s bag. It was nice to get a full-sized brush, but I’m already obsessed with my Kat Von D contour brush. I did give this one a chance and it’s not a bad brush at all, especially when you look at the price. It gets the job done, and if you want something inexpensive, then this brush would be great for you!
3. Whish Renewing Mud Mask
Retail: $44
I could not believe this product sells for $44 and that I got it in my Glam Bag! This was one of the best masks I have used, and the first mud mask I have put on my skin. I absolutely loved it but I don’t think I will ever purchase it on my own because of the price. I will, however, look for an inexpensive mud mask because it made my skin feel great!
4. Naked Cosmetics Advanced Aloe Cream
Retail: approx $29.99
This product was great to try, but I won’t be purchasing it anytime soon. I already have a great skin cream that is half the price, and I was unimpressed by this formula. I reviewed it on Ipsy so they now know to not put any product like this in my future bags!
5. Tarte Cosmetics, tartiest Lash Paint Mascara
Retail: $23
This was by far my favorite product in September’s Glam Bag. I’ve used Tarte’s foundation and it is AMAZING, but this mascara is the best thing I have ever used. My lashes looked so great, and I bought it the day after trying it. I know that it is a little pricer than drugstore mascara but it is worth every penny.
