Is IPSY Really Worth it? – October ’23 Edition

This month I got two boxes – the GlamBag and BoxyCharm by Ipsy.

Glam Bag

The Glam Bag retails for $13 a month and ships out every month with 5 sample size products plus a makeup bag. This month, the makeup bag is perfect for spooky season! I’m not a huge fan of sample sizes, but let me go through what I got.

  • Bodyography Eye Pencil – I’m not a huge fan of eyeliner so I’ll pass this on to someone who can use it.
  • Pinklipps Lip Gloss – This color isn’t quite my shade so I’ll pass it on as well.
  • Anastasia Beverly Hills Volumizing Mascara – I love this brand and I’ll definitely be trying this mascara!
  • Lavido Alert Eye Cream – This sample size is perfect for travel so I’ll keep it!
  • The Beauty Crop Gripping Primer – My skin reacts weird to primers so I’ll pass this one on as well.

For me, this one wasn’t the best. I’m not a huge fan of sample sizes but I got a few things to add to my collection. I love when they are brands and products I know of!

BoxyCharm by Ipsy

BoxyCharm by Ipsy retails for $28 and renews monthly with 5 full size products, 3 of which you have the option to personalize.

  • Dermelect XL Lash Volumizer – I used to love this product so I’ll definitely be keeping!
  • Earth Harbor Calypso Vitamin C Moisture Elixir – I have so much skincare so I’ll be passing this along.
  • Tula So Pumpkin Exfoliating Sugar Scrub – I haven’t tried many products from Tula so I’ll definitely be throwing this in my shower!!
  • Formula Shadow Stick Duo – This isn’t really my thing so I’ll pass this along to someone who can use it.
  • Ofra Miami Mini Mix Face Palette – These colors are gorgeous so I’ll definitely be keeping this!

This one was pretty good! Again, I love getting the high end brands that I recognize. I got some great things this month!
