Review: Ipsy Glam Bag (May)

Ipsy Glam Bag is a monthly subscription service created by Michelle Phan. For $10 (!!) a month, you will receive a makeup bag, as well as a mix of 5 deluxe samples and full size beauty products. When you join, you take a "beauty quiz" about the types of product you like, your skin tone, type of skin/hair, and so on, so ipsy can send you personalized products.

First off, the package comes in this amazing metallic pink envelope!

All of the products are placed in the monthly cosmetics bag (which is the same for everyone each month). You will also get some information on the brands that were involved with that month's bag with other offers from those brands and possibly a promo code for something extra!

These were the products that I received in my Ipsy Glam Bag for May!

First is a Mirabella (full size) lipstick in the shade Posy. It's a nice cool reddish shade (seen below) that is a bit sheer. It's not a drying lipstick and has pretty good staying power. There is a slight vanilla scent as well, but it's definitely not overpowering and you don't really notice it once it's on your lips.

Next is a nice sized (full size) Pacifica perfume in Tahitian Gardenia in a roller ball container. I normally don't wear much perfume; growing up, I was always a Bath & Body Works body spray gal. I had one or two that I really liked as a teenager, but haven't used any since. The scent Tahitian Gardenia is really nice when it's in the container, though I found it to be a little intense when I wore it. The site describes it as "reminiscent of Jasmine, Sweet Orange, and Tea Leaves." It's nice, but it's not for me.

I was so excited when I saw the Anastasia Beverly Hills (deluxe sample size) clear brow gel. I had high hopes for it and it definitely did not disappoint. It's a nice thin brow gel that helps to keep my brows in place and sets my brow powder so it can last all day.

I also got a Yaby concealer refill pan (full size) in buff. I really like how the color works with my skin tone and the product was very nice. Since I work out in the sun, I've been getting tanner than normal, so my usual concealers are a bit too light for me now. My one problem with this is that I don't have a palette to put it in right now, so I have to store it in the plastic container it came in.

Lastly, I received a Zoya nail lacquer (full size) in Gie Gie. It's a beautiful baby pink with some silver shimmer. I haven't tried it yet (I know, shame on me!) and I've actually never had a Zoya polish. I recently haven't been putting anything on my nails because of how rough my job is on my nails, but I promise I will wear this soon. It's a great color!

All in all, I love my Ipsy Glam Bag from May and would for sure recommend this subscription service. On top of it feeling like getting a present every month, it's a great deal for $10.

Mirabella Lipstick: $22.00

Pacifica Roller Ball Perfume: $12.00

Anastasia Clear Brow Gel (Travel Size estimate): $14.00

Yaby Concealer Refill: $4.85

Zoya Nail Lacquer: $8.00
