Ipsy Review - May

What time is it? Ipsy time!

I love getting this bag in the mail! As I’ve always said, this is the best bag out there, especially for such a low price. If you are looking to start a beauty subscription, I would definitely try Ipsy first. As you know this box is $10 a month….how can you not go for it?
The theme of this month’s bag is “Fresh Picks.” It came in a cute little canvas type bag with little leaves on it. Very “green.” Oddly enough, it smells really good, unlike last month. I wonder if they got a lot of comments on last months and decided to make sure this month was different? It smells like a soft vanilla, but nothing in my bag smells like that!

So here it is….the May Ipsy bag!
1) Hang Ten Classic Sport Sunscreen SPF 50 - 1 oz. Sunscreen? I mean, they are all pretty much the same. I will welcome the small size of it though, perfect to throw in my purse! The packaging is cute though, definitely screams summer! Full Size: $12.99 for 6 oz. My Value: $2.17
2) Eva NYC Therapy Session Hair Mask – 2.03 oz. (FULL SIZE) I am really excited to try this. The last time I got my hair trimmed she mentioned it was really dry….this will be perfect! I love the packaging on this too. Very bright and fun. It smells really good too. I do find it odd that this is considered “full size” though. I mean, how many uses can you really get out of this?? Full Size: $12.00 My Value: $12.00
3) Precision Beauty Eyelash Curler – (FULL SIZE) Well this isn’t anything new to me, but it’s been years since I got a new one so I’m not gonna complain! I like the color too. Full Size: $5.00 My Value: $5.00
4) Boo-Boo Cover- up Body Concealer – .34 oz. This is a body concealer for bruises and cuts, which I think is pretty cool. There have definitely been times that I put makeup on my leg to cover a bruise! I may need to get a bit of a tan for it to not look ridiculous though haha. Full Size: $19.99 My Value: $19.99
5) Pacifica Eyeshadow Duo in “Natural Beauty” – .07 oz. (FULL SIZE) Man, Ipsy really loves Pacifica. There isn’t anything incredibly exciting about this either. It’s a shadow and the colors are pretty, but I doubt I’ll get much use out of it! Full Size: $3.00 My Value: $3.00
Final Cost: $10.00 Final Value: $42.16
Well in numbers, the value looks pretty good, but for me personally I just don’t feel it. The whole bag just seems kind of blah. I don’t hate it, but I don’t love it either.
