Ipsy Review + Giveaway | December

Lately, I haven’t had the time to go out and shop for makeup.. so when I was introduced to the world of subscription boxes I was awestruck. Over the last 4 months I’ve been subscribed to Ipsy and Birchbox both are only $10 a month.. I posted all about my first (August) Birchbox package here.

If your thinking of trying out a subby box for yourself, I would suggest either; they are both a great choice! The only real difference I found between the two is that Ipsy had a brief survey to help me personalize my makeup style.

After 4 packages; I now can say I am the proud owner of a fully stocked makeup drawer and the best part is; the new and different things I’ve received are things that I would never pick out myself but here I am, falling in love with most of the products.

One of my favorite things about Ipsy is that you get a new and adorable makeup bag with each subscription and no two bags are ever the same. Awesome, I know. So now that I’ve given you the lowdown, Check out this month’s subby box and let me know what you think.

[Urban Decay- 24-7 Glide-On Eye Pencil]

[Mai Couture- Highlighter Paper]

[Be A Bombshell- Hot Mess Lip Gloss]

[NYX- Loose Pearl Eye Shadow]

[Mirabella- Prime for Face & Eyes]

True happiness is giving it away. <3
