Ipsy is a company where you can pay $10 a month and recieve 4-5 beauty products. Usually it's a really good deal, and it definitely is worth more than the $10 a month.
And it comes in a pretty pink bag:
And here's the line-up for this month:
This month's theme was "Pretty in Pink" which I think would have gone better with Valentine's day than the "Red Carpet Ready" of February. But hey, I'm not the people running the company.
This card just tells you about the convention that they're having in Los Angeles. Something that I'm not particularly interested in, but if you haven't figured out that I have very little patience for info cards then you must be reading another blog.
These are the products included in the glam bag for this month. Another good thing about ipsy is that they give you a percentage off of the brands included in the bag during the month.
This month you have Be A Bombshell Cosmeteics (30% off + Free Eye Shadow), Mica Beauty Cosmetics (30% off), Miss Professional Nail (20% off), Sexy Hair (Save $5), Two Cosmetics (25% off + Free Lip Gloss). I didn't recieve anything from Mica in my bag, but I think that they sent some people Mica and some Two.
First off we have:
Two Cosmetics' Duo Eye Shadow in "Heartache" which is valued at $6.99 regularly (but currently $5.75) at their website over here. I used it the other day and it was nice and neutral. The only problem I have is that one color is so light that it's still barely visible over top of my pearl primer and the other isn't much better. Once I heaped on enough for it to be visible, it looked nice.

Miss' Sation Nail Lacquer from their Miss Antoinette collection in "Of Corset I'll Call You"
Usually, Miss' Nail Lacquer is $5 and so I was a little nervous that it wouldn't be the greatest polish, since the bottle was so large (.5 oz), Julep charges twice that for half the product. Despite the fact that it went on super thin for the first coat, it was nice-- it dried pretty quick and it's a pretty color.

Overall, this bag is valued at $29.99 without the cosmetic bag and $37.99. Either way, your money is at least tripled. If you want one, I suggest you mosey on over there and get in line (as there has been a waitlist lately, although when I joined there wasn't).
