Ipsy September
This month, I think the bag is super cute!! It's the first bag this year, that I'm actually excite to get. I wish they had more cute bags (like last year). I know they are starting a Glam Bag Plus, but I'm not interested in that at all..
My five items this month:
HEMPZ Triple Moisture Herbal Whipped Body Cream: 2.25 oz ($7.50)
I'm actually really excited to try the hempz lotion. But I may try it after birth, I'm not sure what chemicals to avoid during pregnancy..
MPRINCESS Loose Eyeshadow in Pretty Petal: 1.2 g ($15)
Not a fan of this eyeshadow color.. looks like mud? But hopefully when it comes it, it'll be a nice compliment on my skin..
ELIZABETH MOTT Face Primer Thank me Later: 5 g ($2.50)
I hate face primers.. so not going to use this at all.
HOURGLASS COSMETICS Caution Extreme Lash Mascara: 3.5 g ($14)
I love mascaras and I've heard nothing but good things about this one, so I'm happy to try it!!
LUXIE BEAUTY Wonder Woman Detail Tapered Blender 140: full size ($?? atleast $5?)
This is a cute brush, but I really don't know what I'll use it for, I have plenty of brushes now..
I do have 2 bonus items coming:
DR.LIPP Original Nipple Balm I think this will help when my nips get chapped from breastfeeding?
BOBBI BROWN COSMETICS Eye Opening Mascara I suppose I can never have too many mascaras!
I wish I had gotten a face mask or nail polish though, I love them so much!!
Overall the total value is: $44
My overall rating: 3.5/5 stars
I'm excited for 2 products, and the brush is cute (1/2 star) and I like the bag!
I will def. be cancelling Ipsy next year when my yearly subscription runs out.
**Side note**:
I've been getting the Pura Vida Bracelet monthly subscription the last few month and I'm in love. You get 3 random exclusive monthly bracelets for $14.95. At $5 a piece, you really can't go wrong!
Plus whatever ones I'm not a huge fan of, I can sell them on ebay for the price I paid.
Like in July, it was their 2 year birthday, so they sent everyone 1 extra bracelet and I didn't like the braided one, so I sold the one on ebay for $15 + $3.50 shipping. So I got July's pack for free! :)
Then in August, my CC expired, so I was afraid I wouldn't get the August pack, so I placed another order under my mom's email to make sure I got one. Then I updated my CC and so I ended up with two August packs. So I sold the second set separately,
parrot was sold for $8.50 + $3.50 shipping
pineapple was sold for $11.50 + $3.50 shipping
pink & ivory heishi was sold for $15.00 + 3.50 shipping
So I sold the one set for $35, not too shabby! Made $5 and gold to keep a set :)
