Ipsy: May 2013 [Spring Fling]

This month's Ipsy theme was "Spring Fling". If you're unfamiliar with Ipsy, it's a monthly beauty subscription for $10/month. 4-5 deluxe size samples come in a custom Ipsy makeup bag! It can be cancelled at any time.

This is a quick glimpse of everything that came in my bag this month!

I received what some call a full size juice Beauty Reflecting gloss. I believe it's actually half the size of the one on their website (.28 fl oz). Regardless, it's totally awesome, and I plan on buying more! It's not sticky (which is why I normally don't do "gloss"). Full size is $15.

I received a Yaby concealer in Buff. Meh. I assigned it a value of $1, but I've since found it's worth around $5.

Next up, Zoya nail polish. I heart Zoya. This color is in Piaf from the Spring 2013 collection. Retail $8.

The next two items are from Pacifica. I actually like Pacifica products so the lotion will definitely get used. It sells for $7 on their company website.

The rollerball I received (retail $12) is in the Island Vanilla scent. I'm not a huge fan of vanilla, so this will probably be given to someone else. I hear a ton of people talking about loving it, it's just not for me.

All in all, this months bag was worth between $35-$40, and I only paid $10 for the bag! (Sidebar: a discussion was had today on the subjectivity of the word "value". A product may retail for $50, but if I won't use it, it really has no value to me.) I calculate the dollar value of my boxes just to make sure I'm at least breaking even.

If you're interested in signing up for Ipsy, it's a $10 monthly beauty subscription offering 4-5 full or deluxe size samples (plus a makeup bag!) and can be cancelled anytime!
