My first ipsy!!!! I am in love!!

Let's start with a quick subscription box update.... I cancelled sample society. I had to. I ended up getting a Murad cleanser with my final box, and I was excited. I took it to use in the shower and when squeezed it out, it was barely coming our/smelled funny/looked yellow. I used it, because I know that many cleansers have an odor due to the ingredients. When I put it on my face, my face started burning. After rinsing it off, I tried to squeeze more out to look at it and it was still barely coming out. Once I unscrewed the lid, I discovered that there was a faulty seal on the product. This seal had a rust colored growth on it. I was disgusted. I know that I just got a bad product, but it icked me out sooo much that I cancelled. I would still recommend the subscription bc the value is there.

After that bad time, I decided to give ipsy try. Well, that was a home run. When I first began to look for a subscription box a little over a year ago- ipsy was under a different name, and all of the reviews were negative. Even though I was still nervous about the bag quality when I signed up last month, I did it. The unboxings on youtube def swayed that decision. I am glad I through caution to the went and subscribed.

For you that dont know, to subscribe you take part in a pyramid scheme like program. You sign up, hop in queue....to progress on that queue and receive a bag subscription, you need to get another friend to sign up. Once they have, they get in the queue and have to get another person to sign up. After typing that out, it seems more like the plot to the ring....

Anywas, I lucked out and two people used my code ( CLICK HERE FOR IPSY! ) within an hour of me signing up...Which meant---- I GOT THIS FUCKING AMAZEBALLS BAG O' MINIS SWAG

This is the bag I received, and it was the only downer in the whole subscription... it stunk. Like cheap, nonrated plastic and rubber. :(

ANNNNDDDD this is what I received inside.... A Cailyn lip balm, Benefit's Loli Tint, Kiss Lashes, City Color White Gold Shadow & Highlight Mousse, and Urban Decay's 24/7 Velvet eyeliner.


I love it all.

Loli Tint.... it reminds me of the color of the year- radiant orchid
Cailyn... this is ok, though I wish it wasnt hot pink. I do like the color and it will be great for hombre lips, but it stains your skin and lips quickly, which means hot pink around your mouth.
Kiss Lashes.... I am not sure about these. Comfy and soft with great shape- but too sparse.
City Color Shadow & Highlight Mousse... I AM IN LOVE WITH THIS. It will be a great base and a great highlighter. Long lasting, and a wonderfully nonobnoxious metallic sheen.
Urban Decay Liner- I have one of the regular 24/7s- and they last forever! My zero pencil is almost gone, so I am excited to not need to buy a replacement.
