IPSY Glam Bag Subscription Serivce

I have been subscribed to IPSY for around 6 months now. I can honestly say, for the most I've been very pleased with what I've received every month thus far. I discovered a lot of different and great brands that I otherwise have never heard of. Two of my current favorite makeup brushes actually came out of IPSY. One from a brand Luxie Beauty & 1 from Crown brushes.

What I like about IPSY that sets it apart from other subscription services is that they keep it makeup related which is always what I hope to receive in a beauty subscription box. I also like that it includes full size products.. 

Ipsy is $10 per month, but each box usually adds up to more than that, so I definitely feel I am getting my money's worth. As an added bonus it comes in a cute makeup bag every month.

There are different variations of products for each person based off a survey you fill out of your likes & dislikes.

Cargo Magic Brush



I am a brush junkie. I have tried almost every brand from the most expensive to the cheapest. I finally found my holy grail foundation brush. This Cargo magic brush is phenomenal. It blends my current favorite, foundation, Diorskin nude air, like a dream. Not only does it work great for liquid foundation but it's great for powder as well. In fact the bristles act like a magnet so powder doesn't get everywhere. Leaves the skin looking airbrushed and flawless. I like using a circular buffing motion for best results.

This is the brush I reach for daily. In fact I plan on buying a backup soon just so I'm never without. Very easy to clean too which is always a bonus when it comes to brushes.

This brush also works great for contouring and highlighting.

Brush costs $35. The only drawback is it does have  a small handle for those that prefer a larger one. Can be found at Ulta & Nordstrom.

Clinique Smart Custom-Repair Serum

Described as a powerful serum that understands your skin’s needs, targeting uneven skin tone, lines, and wrinkles for firmer, more radiant skin.
I've been using this religiously for around 2 months now & I can honestly say this is one of the best serums I have ever used. I have noticed that I get less breakouts and my pores have been visibly reduced. I use at morning and at night. I do have oily skin & find this doesn't do much to combat that problem but for the rest of the skin care benefits this provides, it is worth it.

I purchased the 1 oz bottle for $59.50. They do have a 1.7 oz & 3.4 oz which I will be purchasing next. I don't want to ever be without it.
