Ipsy, is one of the many subscription style monthly beauty clubs, similar to the very popular (and my fave) BirchBox. While I do get a BirchBox every month, a beauty addict like myself needs more to stave off the desire to spend all my time in Sephora, online shopping and in Whole Food Beauty, really I do, and of course I love getting mail.

So Ipsy was an easy choice to add to my monthly crew of deliveries. In addition to receiving 5-7 deluxe sample size products you get an awesome make-up bag to house your monthly haul. I love mini bags, I carry about 5 in my purse to keep things organized so this was an beauty subscription was an easy easy choice.

This month in addition to a cute mini make-up bag, I received the following products:

Nailtini Nail Lacquer in Millionaire

Benefit They’re Real Mascara in Black

Starlet Eyeliner in ‘All I want is peace, love and Chocolate’

The Balm’s Meet Matt(e) eyeshadow in Matt Batali a smokey-grey-purple shade

AND

The standout, Bare Minerals Marvelous Moxie Lip Gloss in Dare Devil a sparkling blackberry lip gloss. And Holy potatoes, this color and formula are amazing. Its a very deep but still sheer blackberry, with a hint of sparkle, which I think gives it its depth and makes my lips looks a bit bigger. The formula tingles a bit, which adds to the mild plumping action, but what stands out is the color, its super super nice. I love a good berry lip color and this one is no exception. It’s dark enough so it defines without being overly harsh and ‘done up,’ but provides a nice color to add some pop. I like it because I can apply it without a mirror and still have some high impact color going on. Its pretty perfect.
