Of course I was anxious to open it up to see what I have received for this month!
The theme for this month is "Classic Beauty." On the back of this card, it lists all the brands for the month and the discounts you can receive on them if you purchase the full sized items!
The next item in the mailer was a sample of Michelle Phan's (the founder of Ipsy) new line EM. When you open up the card, it give you a picture of The Life Palette in its actual size and then at the bottom is a sample of one of the looks. I got the sample of look 3, "Out to Lunch." I thought that this was a fun sample to put in there and I hope that we get to sample more from the EM line in the future.
One thing that I really love about Ipsy is that for only $10 you get the 4-5 premium beauty samples but you also get a fun and cute make-up bag with it once a month! This is September's. It is such a pretty blue color with a fun black floral design. It is gorgeous!
Now, onto the fun part... the samples!!!!
The first two samples that I pulled out of my bag were the John Frieda Full Repair Full Body Shampoo and the John Frieda Full Repair Full Body Conditioner. I would not say that I am completely disappointed that I got these, but I had my hopes up for more cosmetic items that I have seen other people receiving. However, with that said, I love trying new shampoos and conditioners and will gladly test these ones out, too!
Price Point:
Full size - $6.59 each
Sample value - $1.17 each
The next item that I pulled from the make-up bag was an item all Ipsy subscribers knew that we were getting and that was a NYX Single Eye Shadow. I was hoping for a more matte color for myself, but I received that color Earthy Shimmer. I am not a huge fan of glitter, but the lighter color is nice and will work for a highlighter or base. I also really like the texture of the shadow.
Price Point:
Full size - $4.50
Sample value - $4.50 (We got a FULL SIZE sample!)
I always love trying out new mascara. I was excited to pull this It's So Big Volumizing Mascara by Elizabeth Mott from my Glambag this month! The brush has a fun shape to it and I cannot wait to test this out!
Price Point:
Full size - $19.99
Sample value - $7.99
The final item I pulled from my Glambag was the one I was most excited about! I love a good, creamy eyeliner and had high hopes for this Starlooks Obsidian Kohl Eye Pencil. I tested a line out on my had and it went on straight and smooth! I cannot wait to use this on my eyes!
Price Point:
Full size - $12.00
Sample value - $12.00 (ANOTHER full sized item!)
I have to say that I am SO impressed with Ipsy so far and I cannot wait for next month! This was definitely worth the $10 just at the beginning with the bag and discount card! Then, you add in all the samples and it exceeds my expectations!
Final Price Point:
Amount Paid for Bag - $10.00
Total Bag Value - $26.83
WIN! If the bag alone does not sell you than the value of the contents has got to get you going on over to subscribe today!

Have you played with the Em sample yet?
ReplyDeleteI have! I love it! And, I love the idea of the whole palette! I will probably end up buying it!
DeleteI'm getting my first bag this month (hopefully tomorrow!) I can't wait together my items- I like the preview in the glam room to get you amped for your bag.
ReplyDeleteI love this time of the month, the time when we receive our Birchboxes and our Ipsy Glambags! It makes each month a little brighter for us all! Thanks for visiting my blog!
