Ipsy October 2013 Unboxing

I really really REALLY liked my October Ipsy bag!  :)  Ipsy is a great sub box!  Each month you pay $10.00 and you get 5 custom beauty products for you based on the profile you fill in.  Plus every month you get a cute make up bag!  It really is a great value!  :)

The awesome box!  :)  I LOVE the pink packing that it comes in each month!  :)

Each month they incude a card with product info and discounts.

Green Grab Bag- August 2013

This is the last Green Grab Bag that I subscribed to.  I really like the idea, but I wasn't so impressed by the sample sizes. 
:(  So Green Grab Bag is $15.00 a month and they send you sample of green products.  :)

They do send a nice variety!  But the sample sizes are a little small for my taste.

Green Tea Facial Serum VirgaBotanicals ($2.00)
AllNaturalCosmetics.com Tinted Lip Balm ($0.25)

EVOLVh UltraShine Moisture Conditioner ($5.90

Paid $15.00
Value $27.35

Over all, I like the box.  :)  The nail polish is my fave!  :)

My Big Day Box-- Inagural box August 2013

This was the inagural box for My Big Day Box!  :)  They have 2 options: A Bride option and a Everyday option.  I opted for the Bride option so I could see what kind of stuff they would send for my sister!  (She is getting married in November! :)  When I signed up, it was $18.00 a month and now it is $24.95 a month.  But I was blessed to lock in with the $18.00 because I signed up before they changed the price!  Woot!  :)

On to the good stuff!  :)

 

 

 

So cute!  I LOVE IT!  Plus I love that they listened on their FB page when I said I would love the pink one!  ;)

 



The bag is CUTE!  Perfect for a night out!  (To bad this mama doesn't spend many nights out!  lol)

Paid $18.00

I really really loved this My Big Day box!  :)  I am very impressed with their first box and can't wait to see what they come out with next month!  :)

Ipsy Glam Bag June 2013

I received my Ipsy Glam Bag for June...  This is a cool sub for women!  Who wouldn't love to get that hot pink mailer in your mail box???  So cute!  Plus for $10, you can't go wrong!  :)  If you even remotely LIKE make up, you should check Ipsy out!

Unfortunately for me, I am NOT a true make up girl at heart... So most of these products headed to my sister in law's house!  :)  She was excited!  lol.

 

 



First, I LOVED the actual bag!  So cute!  It is leopard print with a lime green zipper and inside lining!  I love it!

 

 

Starlooks Lip Pencil in Swade: $12.00  (SIL loved this!)

Chella Highlighter Pencil in Ivory Lace: $18.00 (I kept this one...  I want to try it out!)

Sparkling Cream Palette in Volta: $4.49 (Again SIL loved this for date nights!)

NYX Blush in Tickled: $6.00 (Ended up keeping this...  Not sure I will use it though!)

 

Over all, it wasn't a bad bag...  It just wasn't a good bag for me!  I am going to try out next month and see what happens... 

 

Paid: $10.00

Value: $61.49

GlossyBox-- May Unboxing

So for my birthday I gifted myself (with the help of my father in law!) a 3 month subscription to GlossyBox.  I am excited for the next couple of months to try out this subscription!  :)  The box cost $21.00 per month or $60 for a 3 month sub.  Sometimes there are coupons though!  So you should check it out!  :)  Each box has about 5 sample size products of quality!  :)  And the boxes are SUPER cute!

 

 

This was the 1 year anniversary box.  :)

 

 



Collagen & Aloe Vera Hydro Mask  $3.95

 

Slow IT Body Wash and Lotion samples  $0.50 (?)

 

Epionce Intense Defense Anti-Aging + Repair Serum 4ml. $18.13

 

I am excited about the mask!  And I am always loving body wash!  As for the serum...  YIKES that's a lot of money!  There is also a coupon for a free wax from European Wax Center.  I won't use it and won't count it towards the value of the box.

 

 

Nicka K New York Absolute! Perfume Stick  $14.99

 

I love solid perfumes...  :)

 

 

XTREME LASHES GlideLiner Long Lasting Eye Pencil in Black Pearl  $29.00

 

I don't use eye liner... So this isn't really for me.  :/

 

Sebastian Professional Volupt Spray  $6.00

Over all this box was pretty good.  :) 

I paid $16.00 for this box because I had a coupon code and the value was $73.07!  Totally worth it!  :)

I am really looking forward to next month's box!  It's called American Beauty!  :)  Woot Woot!

Ipsy GlamBag (May 2013)

This was my first Ipsy GlamBag and I AM AMAZED!  It was an AWESOME bag! 

 

First of all the packaging is FANTASTIC! 
What girl wouldn't want to see this cute pink bubble wrap in her mail box?!

Each month you get a cute make-up bag, this month's was blue, orange and white chevron print.

 

 

This is the Zoya nailpolish in Julie. 

When I saw the spoiler for this I REALLY wanted the purple or the yellow

and am SO HAPPY I got this color! 

I already painted my nails!  lol

($8.00)

 

 

This is Mirabella in Day Dream.  This is a really light glossy color.  Like it!

($22.00)

 

 

These are Juice Beauty lipgloss in Champaign.  Very glossy and light in color.

($15.00)

and the Yaby concealer in Honey.  I am excited about this one because I am still new to make-up and this isn't intimidating at all!  :)

($4.85)

 

 

And finally my FAVORITE thing in the bag!  Pacifica Gardenia Roller-Ball Perfume.

I thought that the nailpolish would be my favorite, but this is totally!

The scent is wonderful and I put it on right away and it wears beautifuly!

I am really happy I got this one and not the vanilla one!  lol

($12.00)

 

 

I paid $10.00 for this bag.

The total worth of this bag was $61.85!  I will think that is a great return on my purchase!  :)

 

I am super happy with my Ipsy GlamBag and I am really looking forward to next month!  :)
