Get That Glow - IPSY Glam Bag Plus - May 2020

*purchased by me*

My Ipsy Glam Bag Plus is here. And boy I was let when the choice item was up and I missed my chance on Sunday Riley Good Genes.... But all good coz I was able to purchase it during add on session for $18, which was an amazing deal! I mean IPSY is killing it with Sunday Riley skin care inside their boxes! and if you don't get it they offer it in adds on for fraction of the retail. I like that a lot!

As for my bag, ugh was not really impressed. I like the actual bag tho! so summery and it looks like a ocean water and sun :) SUMMER baby!

• Coloured Raine Vineyard Soiree Palette - this was my choice item and tbh I was hesitant between this palette, Mimosa Moment palette by the same brand and NoMad Kiss of the Sun Palette. I was looking on the website to see swatches or anything on it but could not find anything so I went ahead and chose Vineyard Soiree palette. Its pretty and its cool toned purple. I like Coloured Raine shadows I have few singles and I heard that Queen of Hearts is beyond amazing :) This palette is Limited Edition made for Glam Bag Plus. Retail $22

• Mudmasky After Mask Vitamin Serum - this serum you should apply after masking. I guess this could work if i use clay mask as these tend to dry my skin really bad. I dunno how I feel about it to be honest. The retail value is $53.75 and I am  not sure if its worth it. Also no idea if I will be keeping it or passing along... Time will tell

• Sugar Rush Velvet Liquid Lipstick in the shade Cupcake -if you don't know Sugar Rush is sister or a baby brand to Tarte Cosmetics. all I will tell you that it smells like cake but the shade is not me. Its too nudy too brown... There was more berry option and I would prefer that one more. Retail $15

• Girlactik Skin Glow Duo in Sunset - this was part of the choice and i thought I wont get this and here it is. I just gonna say no to the product and the brand... I don't have a good experience with them at all.... Retail $26

• Beauty For Real - Hi Def Mascara - yay another mascara .... if its not mascara its a liner... I will try it later coz right now no makeup days are in :) Retail $19

• Sunday Riley Good Genes- and yes my add on item :) I am so happy to have it and I do have a high hopes for it :) I not sure if you remember I bought small mini size duo at Ulta but I haven't open yet so that duo will travel to my mom while I will keep this baby! Please work good for me :) Retail $85 

And above is bag that was sent this month and guys I love it! I only wish it was a bit bigger :) I already purchased bag from the glam bag ultimate and now I need regular glam bag bag :) I dunno I love IPSY bags and some designs I want them all :) 

What do you think of this bag? It's $25 a month just like Boxy Charm, but to be honest it didn't wow-ed me. I like the palette and the rest will go somewhere else. I love that was able to get Good Genes in adds on :) and of course the bag is so pretty :) 

IPSY Full Bloom - my first Glam Bag Plus unboxing + adds on- April 2020

*purchased by me*

After months of consideration I decided to give an IPSY a shot. My sister in law is subscribed to it and she likes it. She gets two boxes Glam Bag Plus  ($25) and Glam Bag Ultimate ($50). 

I decided to start with the Plus for now and see how I like it and maybe I can add Ultimate as well, but tbh $50 a month is quite a lot... 

View of the makeup bag included this month. Cute but I have seen better :) Next month bag is so pretty! Yes I saw the spoilers :)

My first bag was decent. Not mind blowing. 

There was also option for adds on and I grab three products that I will show in this post as well.
Glam Bag Plus just as Boxy Charm contains 5 full size products and retails at $25 

Here is the overview of my Glam Bag Plus:

• Shaina B Miami Mini Miami Eyeshadow Palette - Shaina B is not a new brand for me. I got their brushes in the past via Octoly campaign. This palette, by looking at the pictures I was not sure I will like it. But once I got it and in real life is really pretty! The top row is all shimmers and bottom all matte and the colors goes well with one another. Have not yet tried it on the eyes but I do have high hopes. Retail $20

• Cela Creme Rose The Very Best Cream Rose - ok I thought this will be a bum but omg it smells so good! and when i was taking pictures and applied on my arm it felt really nice and hydrating. Did I say it smells good? Retail $39

• Tarte Tarteist double take eyeliner - meh... I dunno why these boxes don't care to check beauty quizzes. I don;t use liquid eyeliners at all, I don;t know how and I just don't want them... I will be passing this along .. Retail $24

• Context Skin Nail Polish Duo in Rocket Queen and Don't Cry - nail polishes I don't mind at all :) I have not yet to try this brand so I am happy to get it. Plus the shades look really promising. Retail $30

• StarSkin VIP Crem De La Creme Intently Recovering Cream Coating Face & The Diamond Mask - That's a mouth full! StarSkin is the brand I know and I tried few masks from the in the past. I am happy that these were included. Retail $30 

Total Value of my Glam Bag Plus is $143, I paid $25 plus tax for this subscription. 

Now the adds on. 

I really was hoping to get Sunday Riley in my bag, that was the reason I signed up. 

But I guess it worked out as I was able to purchase the Martian Mattyfing Melting Gel Water Toner for $12!

what a steal! I had this toner in the past along with UFO serum and I really liked it. It amazing if you have acne/ prone skin :) Mine went bad over a year ago and I never repurchased coz this little sucker cost over $60. So when IPSY offer it on adds on I was there and I got it!

Two other products were:

• Youth To The People Superberry Hydrate and Glow Dream Mask - I been fan of this brand for quite some time now. I have the toner and I been enjoying it. So when IPSY offered sample size (15ml) for $3 how can I say no? 

• Kaleido Cosmetics - Skin Blush in the shade Primadonna - beautiful rosy glowy blush. I have one in the shade Prom Queen and I love the finish of it. It melts nicely with the skin and gives beautiful glowy flush. I got this one for $3 and its a full size. 

What do you guys think? How does it compare to BOXY Charm that I been showing you for past year? Would like to hear your opinion :)
