Ipsy January 2014

A look at my January 2014 Ipsy beauty bag subscription. Two favorites of the month that I am looking forward to trying are Nourish Organics Face Lotion and Briogeo Deep Conditioning Mask. Receiving hair products are pretty low priority in my beauty subscription, but this deep conditioning hair mask is free of parabens, silicones and pthalates. It is made up of rosehip, avocado and argan oils, so I'm interested this time, and let's be honest here, my hair needs some deep conditioning!

Nourish Organics Face Lotion 

Briogeo Don't Despair Deep Conditioning Mask 

MICA Beauty Cosmetics Tinted Lip Balm (in  #5 Natural)  


Elizabeth Mott Smooth Shadow Creamy Eye Pencil (in Penny)

Ipsy December 2013



Wow! I can't believe I have finally caught up on the beauty bags. I first started with Birchbox and Glam Bags (now Ipsy) and then at some point, I eventually ended my subscription to Birchbox. I know there are so many different kinds of beauty, health and pet (!) subscriptions to try out and I would hopefully like to research a little more to branch out and try these other monthly subscriptions. 

In the meantime, here is this month's Ipsy beauty bag for December. The theme for the month is "Celebration", and my bag contained items to sparkle and shine in dramatic fashion to carry you through Christmas and the New  Year.

Ipsy November 2013


The Ipsy beauty bag for November was themed "Glam It Up". On appearance alone, the first sight of the metallic gold textured bag indicated that the contents would be shimmery, metallic and bold (lip crayon). 

Here are the six beauty items I received to help glam it up for the holidays.
