October 2014 Ipsy Review + Amazon Giveaway!

I have tried many subscription boxes/bags over the last several years, and Ipsy is by far my favorite. I have happily subscribed to Ipsy since October 2012 and have never received a bag I was not happy with. I have received a few eyeliners over the years which are one of the few makeup items I don't use, but I think every subscription has items that are a miss every now and then. Ipsy has added a profile quiz (which they did not have when I was first subscribed, but later added) that helps determine what products to send you. Some items everyone might get, and others depend on your profile.

You can subscribe to Ipsy for only $10 a month here. (The link does contain an affiliate link.)

Here is a look of the bag I got based on my beauty profile:


Here are some closeups of the items I received:



The items I received in order of left to right are:

I have linked up the items with the Websites to purchase them if you would like to (does not contain affiliate links.)

My favorite item in the bag is a tie between the Figs & Rouge Rose Berry Shea Butter Hand Cream and the ModelCo VOLUMEYES Extreme Black Mascara. Mascara is one of my favorite beauty products so it's no surprise it is one of my favorite items in the bag. I regularly use hand cream or body lotion, but I feel that this one is extra special. I have been wanting to try a hand cream in this type of packaging for some time, but haven't been able to justify buying more lotion when I have an abundance of it already. I was thrilled that it was included in my bag! The scent makes it so much more special with a mix of rose and berry scents. Using it definitely feels like a luxurious experience.

My least favorite item in the bag is the Starlooks Lip Gloss. It is not a bad lip gloss, but the texture is a little different than what I am used to in a lip gloss. I will still be using it though!

Overall I am thrilled with this month's bag! I will happily be continuing my subscription to Ipsy.


I would love to give a reader a chance to win a $10 Amazon e-gift code to buy a makeup piece or any other item of their choice. Feel free to enter using as few or many options at the link below as you would like.

  7. I have never tried Ipsy but it sounds like I've been missing the boat.

  8. Base on the review, IPSY is well worth the $10 subscription. Even though it contains samples, they're nice size samples. I would definitely consider subscribing in the near future. Thanks for the chance to win.
