Ipsy - Cailyn Tinted Lip Balm is NOT Full Size

I keep seeing this and I do not understand how it hasn't come up before.

The Cailyn Tinted Lip Balm you receive is not full size. I mean first off, look at it. It is only filled half way. And that's with it pulling away from the sides. If you ever paid $19 and received something half full you wouldn't be happy would you?

Second - It states that it is .14oz or 4g.
BUT
Look at the Mica Beauty Tinted Lip Balm (which is the exact same product, that's another story). The same we received was 2.5g. The Cailyn should be almost double the size. But when you compare the two, they are either the same size or the Cailyn one is smaller. It is not BIGGER than the Mica product. The full size Mica Beauty one is 4g (same size as Cailyn) and in the same package as the Cailyn.

Finally, there is the YouTube video by Nix92585 for the Cailyn Acid Pink tinted lip balm, and right in it she states the one she received in her Ipsy has half the amount. Here

[Edit] Dani from CoffeeBreakWithDani has also figured this out. Check out towards the end of her Ipsy unboxing for this month. Here

So please, understand you are not getting a full size, you're only getting half at the very most. It is not worth $19, it is worth $8.50 at the very most.

Also, these points are in regards to the April 2014 bag. I do not know what the ones in the September 2013 bags looked like.

Blush Mystery Beauty Box - February 2014

I don't know what urged me to sign up for a $26.51 mystery box...but I did. I knew what I would be getting this month since I had been looking at videos and blogs and that was part of what made me sign up. I also like to make sure that I am getting what I am paying for. I think the other thing was that I also used to get Birchbox for $10 and Beauty Army for $12. So I had at one point been spending pretty much the same amount, but on 2 different subscriptions services. I contemplated Glossybox, but I saw it was hit or miss on the value. This one seemed worth it every month so far.

I have high standards now.

But I already cannot wait for next month.

Ipsy - January 2014

"19 Reasons" Theme

I think I missed the reasoning behind this theme. I believe it has something to do with the typical "New Year, New You". This is what I received:

#JollyVoxBox from Influenster

I literally just received my #JollyVoxBox in the mail. I had enough time to open it and see what products were sent to me to review. And let me just tell you that I am SO EXCITED to have gotten some of these things. There are a few items that I have been dying to try and some that I know I already love but am excited to have more.

Here are the brands I received:

-DuckTape
-Skinny Cow
-Rimmel London
-NYC Cosmetics
-Puffs

Huge thank you to Influenster and the companies!

P.S. I have somehow misplaced the card, so I am unsure of the prices on these items. I will try and figure them out though.

Ipsy November 2013 - First Impressions

I'm not even sure if I finished or even blogged about last months bag...Sorry about that.

I don't currently have my phone on me to take pictures so I will be using them directly from the Ipsy website.

I am excited and pleased about this month's bag!

Glam It Up was this month's theme, and the products do fit into that theme.
