❧❦ Ipsy - October 2013 - My Favorite Ipsy Ever! ❦❧

Ipsy October 2013

This month Ipsy sent me what turned out to be my favorite Ipsy bag - EVER!  I simply love each product, and I think that this is incredible value for money at only $10.  Ipsy claims that this months bag is worth $45.

Buxom Lips Dolly

Be Delectable from Cake Beauty - Strawberry & Cream Hand Cream

bigsexyhair - Blow Dry Volumizing Gel

Zoya Nail Polish - Mason

H2O Hydrating Treatment

For me, this months bag was the perfect mix of hair, skin, cosmetic and nail products!  Just as every sample bag should be.  

The stunning color Mason from Zoya, and the Be Delectable strawberry and cream hand cream from Cake Beauty are two items I would have purchased already, had I been aware of them.

If you are interested in subscribing to Ipsy, it's $10 a month and you can subscribe here.

Take care,

The Sassi Wench!

The September 2012 MyGlam Ipsy Bag

MyGlam has changed its name - probably because of all of the negative publicity and horror stories about lost boxes and refund issues in the past 9 or so months.  What a pity that MyGlam lasted less than a year.  It was certainly entertaining to watch the whole debacle.  But no matter what it tries to do it can never undo all the damage and make all those anti-MyGlam videos go away on YouTube.  So its latest incarnation is now called "Ipsy beauty by you" which is simply an appalling name.  It almost sounds like "oopsy" which has negative connotations... Not to mention that everyone is just going to call them MyGlam Ipsy from now on.  You can't help but get the feeling that the founders of MyGlam would just love to erase the past 9 months.  Anyway, MyGlam Ipsy now comes complete with a revamped website (see below).  Good luck with that by the way... and what I mean is good luck trying to navigate around the new site.  Confusing as all hell.

And the name Ipsy is already in the Urban Dictionary - read about it here.  It's hysterically funny!  Thanks, @CarolynP1

MyGlam Ipsy is still sending out some products that can mostly be found in any Walmart (check out the brush).  At least some things never change.

Needless to say this months MyGlam offerings top Birchbox once again - although that wasn't a difficult accomplishment.   

I did like this bag except for the Circus by Andrea's Choice nail polish - which is possibly one of the worst nail polishes I have ever tried.  It streaks and it chips easily.  Terrible formula.

The new Ipsy bag - formerly known as MyGlam Bag for September 2012 includes:
London SOHO New York Smudge Brush
Jane Sparkle Lip Gloss - Sparkle Pink
Circus Andrea's Choice Nail Polish - Tightrope
Carols Daughter Monoi Repairing Split End Sealer
Mirabella Eye Color - Semiformal
