Ipsy October 2013

HELLO! Guess who is super excited about this month's Ipsy Glambag??? This girl! I have been impatiently waiting for it to come in the mail for the last week! Columbus day was on Monday and that definitely delayed this shipping. I woke up, went to the mailbox and found a bright pink mailer with my name on it!

Let's find out what we got going on this month!

The theme is "The Art of Beauty."

The theme this month is "The Art of Beauty." The bag is so cute! It is hot pink and white and says "Love of beauty is taste. The creation of beauty is art." It is definitely a cute one this month. I am a holiday junkie, so I was actually expecting/ wanting a Halloween or fall color theme bag, but this one is cute too. It has the pink which reminds me that October is Breast Cancer Awareness month.

Let's check out the samples I received this month!

The first sample I pull out of my bag is the Big Sexy Hair Blow Dry Volumizing Gel. I am definitely a fan of the Big Sexy Hair line and am very excited about this sample. Upon further research, this is actually the brands travel size and you can purchase it from their website in this size or a full size, which I thought was fun!

Price Point:
Full (travel) size - $5.00
Sample value - $5.00

Next up is the Nourish Organic Coconut & Argan Body Lotion. This brand is exclusive to target and can only be purchased in the store or through their website. I tested this out, of course, when I saw it. If you like coconut scented lotions, this one is for you. The back says that it is non-greasy and quick absorbing and I would have to agree, it definitely absorbs quickly and did not leave my hands feeling greasy.

Price Point:
Full size - $9.99
Sample value - $1.25

I got a Starlooks eyeliner last month and I was very happy with it. I saw that I had received another Starlooks pencil product and was a teeeeeeeeny bit disappointed, especially since I do not use lip liners. The color is also a little too summery for me as well. But, I am an experimenter, so I'm sure I will find some use for this Starlooks Lip Pencil in Tipsy. The website says it could be used to line the lips or for all-over color, so we will just have to see.

Price Point:
Full size - $12.00
Sample value - $12.00 (FULL SIZED PRODUCT ALERT!)

This Ole Henriksen Truth Serum Collagen Booster was one of the products I was most excited to try out! My face could always use a serum that helps brighten and minimize fine lines! Although the brand is a bit expensive, I'm still very excited about this sample, which is 1/4 the size of the full sized product.

Price Point:
Full size - $48.00
Sample value - $12.00 (holy cow expensive!)

The final item in my bag is a Zoya Professional Lacquer in the color Neve. I am a HUGE HUGE HUGE fan of purple polishes and was super excited to get the purple. All Ipsy subscribers received one of three colors of the Zoya polish.

Price Point:
Full size - $8.00
Sample value - $8.00 (FULL SIZE for the WIN!)

I was so incredibly impressed with Ipsy this month, for sure. My one tiny disappointment would be the lip pencil, but other than that, you gotta love the rest!

Final Price Point: 
Amount Paid for Bag - $10.00
Total Bag Value - $38.25

YES YES YES YES! This bad definitely was worth it this month! I cannot believe the value in the October 2013 Ipsy Glambag!
