Hi all! I recently received my second Ipsy Glam Bag Plus ($25 USD), the November box. I received my first box in October. You can see what I received for that box here. It is a box that will always include 5 full-sized items.
I had looked in my Ipsy account and saw what I was getting again this month. I wasn’t happy. I had seen three spoilers — an IT Cosmetics eye shadow palette, an Ofra highlighter and a First Aid Beauty cleanser (all great spoilers). I didn’t get any of them.
Here is what I received:’
tarte Make Every Moment Count Cheek Palette ($32 USD) SOL DE JANEIRO Brazilian Bum Bum Cream ($20 USD for 2.5 oz) SLMISSGLAM Eyeshadow Brush Trio – ($45 USD) Makeup Geek Foiled Lip Gloss in Set List– ($12 USD) dr. brandt needles no more NO MORE BAGGAGE eye de-puffing gel – Retail Value $42
This is a pretty blush palette from tarte. I’m good in blush right now, but this will make a nice gift. I like that there are three shades. I was hoping to get the IT Cosmetics palette, because I have been wanting to try it.
This is the one item I’ll use from the box. I received a smaller container of this cream in a BoxyCharm this summer. I really love it. It’s so hydrating without being greasy and the scent is a delicious pistachio caramel.
These brushes are great quality. I’m a little overloaded in brushes, so I will probably give these away. It’s a good brand, thought
I received this in BoxyCharm this year and didn’t like it at all. It’s so thick and dry and irritates under my eyes. I don’t know what I am going to do with it.
This is a pretty fall color, but I don’t wear metallic lip products. I will probably give it away.
So, this month was a bust for me. It was $25 and the only thing I’ll use is the $20 cream. I will give the rest of this away.
I have cancelled this box, but maybe I’ll try it again sometime next year. I’m afraid if they continue with the variations, I won’t get the items I want, which is what can happen in these kind of subscriptions.
Do you get Glam Bag Plus? What did you get this month?
This is the other item I was really excited about. I’ve used them once and like them okay, they are a little larger than the blending and shadow brushes I usually use. I need to play with them more. They are beautiful! I love the colors and the little gems. The brushes are P15, eyes shadow brush (pink) and the L34 Blend Beauty (purple). The handles also say BoxyCharm, so they must be a collaboration.
I’m not sure about this. I do have larger pores, but I think its due to aging. And my pores are always larger during allergy season, so I don’t know if I want to mess with them. We’ll see. I might sell this on eBay.
This brand gets really good reviews. But I can’t use this. My brows are so dark their almost black. I will pass it on to my daughter who is blond. She will love it!
