I bought it. Referral links. Affiliate links.

Back to school type subscription boxes/bags usually aren’t my favorite but I am very happy with this Ipsy bag! Although I’m long out of school I wouldn’t mind this type of theme as long as they aren’t too ridiculously youthful. Am I younger? I’d like to think so…but that doesn’t mean I want a bag of teenie bopper products. Ipsy must have read my mind, keep reading to find out why this is one of my favorites!

The bag this month was school themed & royal purple. Not exactly a hit with me but I WILL say it is made really well this month! It has multiple layers & feels like it would have actually held up in my book bag back in the day. As usual the Ipsy card displays all the brands you or others may have received this month along with some discounts which you can access on their website.

The item I was most excited about is one of the brand new Revolution lipsticks from Urban Decay! Yes, this is a mini but I have been contemplating these from afar. The shade I received is in 69 which is a beautiful pink toned red. Raunchy name, gorgeous color! I am really pleased & this size is absolutely perfect for a little clutch or to keep in my purse for a day to night transition shade. (Swatch at the end of the post!)

Smashbox Photo Finish Foundation Primer also graced my bag. I love these samples, I still haven’t had to buy a full size as I just keep rotating them along with my other primers. I know it makes a lot of people break out which is a shame & I do prefer their light version but I appreciate it all the same.

Pixi seems to work with Ipsy a lot & this month I received their Lash Booster Mascara in a deluxe sample tube. I haven’t tried this yet but I might save it for when I work my way through a few opened tubes or on vacation. This is in the shade Blackest Black.

Michael Todd products are all the rage currently & I believe this is my first time trying them. Youtube was pretty flooded with girls who received freebies & I’ve honestly kind of avoided the reviews after watching a few because there were just SO many. This is the Michael Todd Pumpkin Nutrient- Rich Facial Mask which “moisturizes & nourishes all skin types except sensitive”. Interesting that this isn’t mean for sensitive skin! I personally adore pumpkin products for the enzymes & this likely would have been the one product I’d select on my own from the brand.

My last product is a full size Mica Beauty Shimmer Powder in 17 Bronze. I really love this shade but I do have a lot like it, I tend to gravitate to either the outrageous shades or neutrals. Very pretty & very metallic.

Swatches of the Urban Decay Revolution Lipstick in 69 & Mica Shimmer Powder in 17 Bronze.

This month Ipsy delivered a pretty nice variety in my bag & I am excited to show it to you! Some months are just kind of okay even if it is worth the $10 a month but others really blow me away. This was an overall nice bag, on trend brands with products I’d actually use which is honestly so important. If I don’t use them…what’s the point right? If you’re interested in subscribing to Ipsy it is only $10 a month, please use my referral link so I’ll get credit for you signing up!
