September 2023 Ipsy Bag – Find Your Groove
I LOVE a fancy zipper pull and this month’s ipsy bag has a wild tasseled zipper pull. Groovy.
This month’s theme is “Find Your Groove”, so consider it found. My product choice was First Aid Beauty Ultra Repair Cream – winter is coming, and so is my dry skin. I’m still trying to use up the Kate Somerville Cream from May’s box, so I haven’t busted it open yet.
Also in this month’s groovy bag: Hey Honey Show Your Glow – Colloidal Gold & Honey Beauty Mask (a nice soothing mask that doesn’t dry or peel – you just rinse); Lavido Thera Intensive Oil Control Clarifying Gel Wash (going in my travel bag for this weekend); Pacifica Stellar Gaze Length & Strength Mineral Mascara in “Supernova” (a nice mascara – very basic); and Shaina B Miami Lip Gloss in “Heat Wave” (haven’t tested it yet).
A nice bag with products I’ll actually use!

April 2023 Ipsy Bag – Anything is Possible
Seriously…what am I going to do with ANOTHER beauty blender type sponge??? Maybe I can give that V Kosmetik Beauty Sponge to the squirrels out back, to make a cute little house?
This month’s product choice was Pur~lisse Dragonfruit + Niacinamide Moisturizer. I feel like this product is triggering me, because my child just let two somewhat expensive dragonfruit go rotten on my kitchen counter this week. The moisturizer is nice though…I love Pur~lisse.
Also in this month’s canvas bag: Beauty for Certain Deluxe Lipstick in “#17” (ew, regular lipstick…do people still use regular lipstick?); Benefit Cosmetics The POREfessional Good Cleanup Mini Foam Cleanser (I like the cleanser, although I DO NOT like the metal dispenser it is in); and Shaina B Miami B.Free Eyeshadow Duo (not very wearable, but I’ll give them a spin).
A so-so bag this month…I am looking forward to next month’s Icon Box, which replaces the Glam Bag X box.

March 2022 Ipsy Bag – Power Moves
“Power Moves”. Hmmm…that makes me think of a character’s special combo in Soul Caliber or Mortal Kombat. Makes me want to blind someone with razor sharp mascara…
Anyway…My product choice this month was Eleman Beauty Matte Liquid Lipstick in “Madrid”. I cannot sugarcoat it – the color looks like baby poop. Not newborn baby poop (greenish black) or breastfeed baby poop (stone ground mustard)…no, this is a baby already starting soft foods. Yeah, one of those NASTY poops. I really liked it and it had great staying power!
Also in this month’s bag: Araceli Beauty Tequila Highlighter in “Reposado” (are highlighters over yet? I’m SICK of them); First Aid Beauty Hydrating Eye Cream with Hyaluronic Acid (I haven’t tried it yet, but soon); Shaina B Miami B. Sultry Pressed Pigment Duo in “Vino & Bae Harbor” (this is my favorite item in the bag – not just because of the flamingos embossed in the pigment…the shimmery “Bae Harbor” is a perfect taupe gold shimmer); and Firma Beauty 202 Angled Blender Brush (I admit, I took this out of the package and used it with the pigment right away).
This month’s makeup bag is a little lame. It will probably end up full of Barbie shoes or something.

February 2021 Ipsy Bag – Send Love
I’d received the February bag weeks ago, but I had to thaw out a bit before I was able to try products – Texas was frozen solid!
February’s ipsy bag was full of brands that were new to me. I love getting to try out new brands.
My product choice this month was Innisfree Pore Clearing Clay Mask with Volcanic Clusters. It was a nice clay mask, but it did have an odd, vinegar-y smell. I did not find the volcanic clusters though.
Also in this month’s bag: Banila Co Clean It Zero Pore Clarifying Cleansing Balm (a slight menthol odor had me freaked out that I accidentally rubbed Vick’s all over my face and eyes, but it emulsified without blinding me; it reminds me of the Pharmacy Cleansing Balm); Shades by Shan Eyeshadow Duo in “Whip & Shortcake Honey”; a Shaina B Miami Blush Brush; and Soroci Morning Waterdrop Cream (a nice, light moisturizer).
