Hey girlies,
With many other monthly beauty "bags" that various sites have, some people's question is: Is Ipsy worth the $10 a month. If you don't know what Ipsy is, it's a site created by Michelle Phan where ladies (of all ages) sign up to receive a glam bag every month. The bag costs $10 and you get 4-5 products, some being full sized and others are trials. Each month is a different theme and coordinates with what products are in it. There are also products from many different makeup brands. Ones I'm not too familiar with and others that are very popular. Over the time since Dec 2011, I just wanted to show you guys the products I've collected from Ipsy. View Ipsy's page here.
Minus March 2013's bag and a few products I've used up, these are majority of the Ipsy products I've received since Dec 2011. A lot of them are/were full sized, while others are trial/sample sizes. (To be honest, Ipsy products I've received do make up majority of my make up collection) Being that I'm just started to build my collection and become a beauty blogger, Ipsy gives me the opportunity to try out and review new products that I may have purchased again. Each month, the companies that participated, give a little discount or offer for the month. They usually last until the 1st or 2nd week of the next month. Also, in previous bags we did get super discounted coupon offers from NuMe and other companies.
Your glam bag is based off your glam profile. Where you answer questions like your make up style, eye color, hair color, etc. Then the products and colors (I believe) are chosen to your profile and given to you each month. That's why if there's a big variety of products for the month, you may get something another lady wouldn't. They also have a link I'm the forum I believe, where you can discuss with other ladies if you wish to switch around some products.
I haven't tried any other sites like this, but leave a comment down below so I can check it out. Maybe some time I. The future, I'll sign up to it and let you ladies know how I enjoy it. I just really love Ipsy, not only because Michelle Phan created it, but because it brings a lot of opinionated ladies together. We can create our own "look" with a collection of different YouTube videos pertaining to that particular look. You can create your own profile and get other ipsysters to like your page and love your looks. It's a great site to bring ladies together, and although not everyone may love it, there's a good amount of us who stays as loyal customers to Ipsy.
There's rewards every now and then too. If Ipsy sees you as someone whose been with them for a while and are just a great ipsyster, they may send you an extra product every now and then that others may not get. It's a little reward for being a valued customer. You can also earn an extra reward for getting 2 people to sign up using your own personal Ipsy link. You can connect it to your Twitter or Facebook.
So do I think Ipsy is worth the $10 a month? Yes! Of course. Each month your bag can be valued at $40+ that you're only paying $10 for. How amazing is that?
