December Ipsy Glam Bag


It seems like the months just go by so quickly!  Here we are in December with another great Ipsy Glam Bag! If you're not familiar with Ipsy, it's a monthly subscription in which you receive a cute zipper pouch along with five beauty samples. It costs just $10 a month. 


The bag this month was a super cute black satin-like bag with a heart ipsy key chain. It was very spacious and would make a nice pencil case. I feel like having zipper pouches like this is always great for storing the boys' stuff.




Retails for $4.00.
Shade: Marshmallow

I really liked the texture of the balm; it went on very smooth. The color was a little too neutral for me, though I don't like bold lip color, either.  It was more brownish/tan, and I'm not a fan of that for my lips. I'd be interested in trying out a different shade, though, and I'll keep this one around for occasional use.



Retails for $18.95 for a full size (I got a sample).

I really don't ever blow dry my hair, so I haven't tried this. I know that's may be strange, but I usually wash it at night and let it air dry.  Then, I style it in the morning. I will give this a whirl sometime, though.

Full size retails for $11.95 (I got a sample). 
 
I tried this out and really like it. It has a very clean, natural scent and made my face feel good. Its size will be perfect for travel! It seems like a great company, too. Their site states, "Paraben Free, pH Balanced. 100% Vegan-Vegetarian, never tested on animals. Cruelty-free since 1963."


Shade: Orchid
Retails for $15.

This product is wonderful. I really like the shade, and the top comes off to be a little applicator for the powder. This will become a daily use item for me.

Retails for $20 for a full size (I got a sample).

I really like this mascara. It think it lives up to its description that it is a lengthening, curling,  and volumizing mascara.  I don't know if I'd splurge $20 on it, but I'll enjoy it while I have it.



Overall, this month was a great bag. The value of the items in this bag were well-worth the $10! Everything is a keeper as opposed to some months, there's been an item or two that will just head to the trash.
If you're an Ipsy subscriber, how did you like your bag this month?  If you aren't a subscriber, give it a whirl!
