Ipsy Glam Bag – April 2015
I was undecided whether to stay with Ipsy after my first bag but since I was too on unsubscribing I received the April glam bag. This month’s theme was Beautifully Bohemian. The products came in a cute straw-like bag.
Like last time, I’ve never heard of most of these brands. I am excited to try the Hikari blush which I received a full size of and retails around $15 according to their website. That alone was worth the Ipsy bag.
I received a Jorel Parker fragrance. I was really disappointed to receive this since I am sensitive to fragrances and occasionally allergic to them. There’s actually nowhere on the Ipsy profile page where you can specify your distaste for fragrances. Birchbox at least has an option to limit the amount of fragrances you receive.
I am excited to try this sample of Starlooks lipgloss which is supposed to be non-sticky and long lasting.
I also received this Hey Honey Good Morning honey silk facial serum. It’s like a light cream that goes under makeup.
Lastly was this Nude Dude eyeshadow from The Balm Cosmetics. I thought the packaging was rather hilarious!
Besides the fragrance, I was happy with the rest of my Ipsy items this month. I also subscribed to Birchbox for April but haven’t received it yet. I’m excited to compare the two in the same month.

My First Ipsy Glam Bag
I finally received my first ipsy glam bag. It’s like the competitor of Birchbox that is affiliated with make up guru Michelle Phan. The service is only $10 a month (but since I’m in Canada it is around $20). Unlike Birchbox, many of the items are full size or bigger samples.
It arrived in a hot pink envelope that certainly good not be missed.
Each month the products also come with a mini make up bag. The March theme was Floral Fantasy so the floral printed bag was fitting.
The first item was this Pixi by Petra mineral eyeshadow duo.
Next was this Glow Oil Treatment to get shiny and hydrated hair.
This NYX butter lipstick in POPS EXPLOSIF came in full size ($7.99).
I forgot to take a photo of it but I also got a full-sized Chella Ivory Lace Highlighter ($18).
Lastly, there was an Oval concealer brush from Crown Brush ($6).
People like to compare ipsy and Birchbox but I find that they are two very different services. Ipsy provides bigger sizes and great value, but I find that Birchbox delivers higher end products that you can try before you spend money on the full sized costly products. It’s really up to you to decide which service you like better.
