Ipsy - September 2013 - First Impressions & Review

I'm back!!

I decided to rejoin Ipsy after seeing what they had been doing since I was last getting their monthly subscription bag. When I last received one they were still going by MyGlam. They have since switched to the name "Ipsy". They're still $10 a month. But they've also started utilizing their "quiz" or survey to help customize each person's bag each month. I don't know how well that is going just yet...but I'll explain that when it comes to one of the products.






This is what the bag looked like this month. I find it super cute. The inside isn't lined but that's okay. I've been using it inside my purse as a little bag to keep my money and important things in. I've also kept the eyeliner and mascara in it just incase I need one of them during the day.

#MomVoxBox2013 from Influenster

I am posting this on here because I did receive a beauty product within this box. Us Momma's need to look beautiful too! Haha. I received this box at the beginning of the month I believe. Included in the box were:


-Ponds Luminous Finish BB+ Cream
-Annie's Homegrown Microwavable Macaroni and Cheese Cup in
-BelVita Soft Baked Breakfast Biscuits in Oats & Chocolate
-Dr. Scholl's Inserts for Her

Fortune Cookie Soap - Black Friday Sale

I have not received my order yet. They even said it could take 14 days for them to get the order shipped out. No biggie (totally worth the wait).

They were having sales of:
50% off the fortune cookie soaps (the ones actually shaped like fortune cookies)
Buy (2) of the same type of product, get (1) free of anything else on the site for equal or lesser value

They also had a free shipping code for the first (30) customers, but I wasn't going to attempt to get that. They said last year these codes were used up in seconds.

My order:

Product
Snow Bunny Solid Shampoo Bar 3 oz - No packaging
White Elephant Solid Shampoo Bar 3 oz - No packaging
Mistletoe Mistress Sparkle Me!
Stuff My Stocking Hydrating Botanical Mist
White Elephant Bath Gift - No Packaging
Tangle In The Tinsel Bath Gift - No Packaging
Cherry Limeade Bath Gift - No Packaging
Plus: Since I ordered (2) of the solid shampoo bars and (2) of the Sparkle Me/Hydrate Me I was able to get (2) free products, so I got the matching conditioner bars to the shampoo bars. When you go on their site and click under bath products, the Hydrate Me, the Sparkle Me also shows up, so I was going on that they are the same type of product (man, I hope I am correct. I might email them just to double check....) I was able to get most of the items in the their Winter scents (not the grinch themed), although I have no idea what they actually smell like and there were little to no reviews on these scents. I am going to smell like a walking holiday party!!! Actual review to come!

Testing

September 2012 Birchbox..

*subtitle* one month away from unsubscribing and switching back to MyGlam (yupp, MyGlam).

Since I just got this like ...5 minutes ago. I am going on my complete first impressions. Hey, maybe they will change once I try some of the products, but even trying them may not change my feelings about unsubscribing. Next month will have to be something special...if it's mediocre it will not cut it.

Pictures will come tonight once my phone turns on.

Teal tissue paper is gorgeous though lol.

my new favorite outfit :) totally fall

Yay for Fall!

I LOVE fall. October is my favorite month. Halloween one if my favorite holidays.

New York fashion week is this week and i'm attempting to keep up with it. But I don't understand the fashion seasons. Fashionishing ? Is saying fall 2013.  Or is the fashion week for spring 2013? I don't get it. or fall 2012?  Im going to post up some trends etc. I think after a few days I'll figure it out, and may not post anything
until a few days of shows have gone by.

Tootles!
