IPSY: JANUARY GLAM BAG REVIEW

I've been subscribed to Ipsy's Glam Bag service for three months now and I just received my January Glam Bag yesterday. If you don't know what Ipsy is, it's a beauty subscription service that sends you 5-6 deluxe sample/full size products once a month for a $10 fee. I've been pretty satisfied with the products as they really pay for the bag itself. It also gives me a great opportunity to try out high end products that I may have not purchased before due to the price. (I'm broke lol)

This month we received a Big Sexy hair spray, Nailtini nail polish, Josie Maran argon oil, Soho brush, and a Pacifica body butter.

THE BAG ITSELF: Eh. It's a flimsy navy blue color with a star pattern on the inside. I wasn't too thrilled with this bag as it just felt cheap to me. I was also kind of disappointed that we received yet another plain bag. I've seen in previous months before I was subscribed pretty patterns on the bags such as multi-colored stripes, a chevron pattern, flowers, etc. I'm hoping next month they go back to the patterns because I'm getting kind of tired of the plain! It's still a good bag to put make up in for traveling though.

BIG SEXY HAIR HAIRSPRAY: YES! Thank you for this, Ipsy. My hair is flat, dull, unfortunate. I was so happy to see this as I know this brand is kind of pricey. I actually saw this exactly sample size for $8 at my local drugstore. WOW. So basically, this product itself almost pays for the bag. I've heard amazing things about this brand but was never willing to spend the money for it. If I love this product, I will definitely be purchasing it.

NAILTINI NAIL POLISH: This was probably the product I was the least thrilled about. Last month, we got a nail polish by the same brand in a beautiful sparkly color called Millionaire. I've used that nail polish so much in the past month as it was perfect for the holidays. Unfortunately, I received a red color called bloody mary. I don't wear red nail polish and I don't see much of a use for this. I was kind of bummed I didn't get the other color that was sent out called frappe. It's whatever though. A full size nail polish? Pretty good deal.

JOSIE MARAN ARGON OIL: AMAZING. This product definitely makes the whole bag worth it. This is a very expensive product that is supposedly supposed to work wonders for your face, hair, body, nails etc. For someone who suffers from acne scarring and split ends, this is like heaven sent. I'm going to try and use the whole sample within the next month or two and do a review if it does anything amazing for me!

SOHO BRUSH: I received the crease brush and I'm cool with that. I kind of went crazy with buying brushes lately so an extra brush doesn't really hurt.

PACIFICA BODY BUTTER: I've kind of been on a body butter craze lately so I was definitely happy to receive this in the bag. This product smells AMAZING. It also makes your skin feel so soft which is a plus for me since my skin is so dry right now. (Thank you, Winter!)

Overall, I think it's a pretty good bag. Definitely not my favorite out of the three I've received but it is what is is. For $10 a month you're getting some great, high end products. The bag pays for itself so you can't really go wrong.
