I’ve been toying with the idea of starting a blog for a
while now and finally decided to actually get to it! I’m not certain about what all I’m going to
cover but I’m pretty sure it will include some of my favorite things: clothes,
jewelry, travel, makeup, and most likely some trash reality tv recaps!
One of my favorite things right now is a monthly
subscription service called Ipsy! For
$10 a month I get a personalized makeup bag filled with 4-5 beauty
products. The products range from things
you can pick up at the drug store to higher end brands you can find at Ulta or
Sephora. A lot of the products I’ve
gotten are full sized but they do occasionally throw in deluxe sized samples of
the more expensive items. This is a great
way to try new products and it’s always a great value for what you pay! Plus, how exciting is it to get a mystery bag
of beauty products once a month!?! When
I first heard about this I signed up almost immediately!
I just got my April bag and this month’s theme is “Beauty
Rocks”
In addition the square purple Beauty Rocks makeup bag,
which I have to admit I’m not crazy about, I got the following items;
Urban Decay 24/7
Velvet Glide-On Eye Pencil in Black; Full size $20, Deluxe Sample Size featured
in the bag $15 – I’ve never tried anything by Urban Decay (way out of my
dirt cheap price range) so I was really excited to get an eyeliner! I’ve used it a few times and it goes on
nicely for the most part. I haven’t used
a pencil liner in several years so I’m trying to adjust back to that!
Elizabeth Mott
Pop! Goes the Shadow in the color Champagne; Full Size $12.99 – I
absolutely love this color! I’ve been
using it under my eyebrow and in the inner corner of my eye as a highlight! http://www.elizabethmott.com/shop/pop-goes-the-shadow/
Coastal Scents
Medium Shadow Brush; $2.49 – I just recently bought some new eyeshadow
brushes so I wasn’t overly excited about this, but I know I’ll definitely use
it!
Dr. Brandt
Microdermabrasion; Full Size $78, Deluxe
Sample Size $9.75 – I wasn’t sure about this at first, but when I realized
how expensive the full size is I was excited to get to try it! It smells like lemons which is amazing and
left my skin so smooth! I don’t think I’ll
ever buy the full size because it’s so expensive but I’ll enjoy it while it
lasts!
Starlooks Longwear
Lip Pencil; Full Size $14 – I honestly never wear lip liner so this was a
bit of a dud for me, BUT I’ll definitely keep it because it is a great neutral
color and who knows, maybe this will inspire me to start wearing it!
As I mentioned before I’m pretty cheap, so I’ve found that
this is a great way to try new products that I would never have purchased
otherwise at a discounted cost! Not to
mention the excitement each month when it finally comes! The total value of the products I received
was $54.23 not including the makeup bag they came in or the shipping! For $10 a month, I really like the sound of
that!
