Ipsy May Bag 2 Review

For those who do not know, +ipsy is a monthly beauty subscription service. You get 4-5 samples of different beauty products based on a quiz that you fill out at sign up. This quiz can be changed at any time. Also these samples are the small little samples, they are more of the deluxe sample sizes that you get at +Sephora for like the 100 points and 250 points. Every month they have different things like nail polish, eye shadows, skincare stuff. There are a lot of different things that you can try and then if you would like to purchase, you can purchase the regular size with a discount since +ipsy also gives you promo codes. The monthly subscription is $10 if you go month to month or $110 or the year. I get 2 +ipsy bags a month just because. I really haven't found another monthly subscription bag that I really liked so I just get this one twice. If you are interested in getting a monthly subscription to +ipsy you can use this link. This ships around the world, I know because I also gifted my Mom a year subscription to this and she loves it already. Every month is a different theme that basically shape what you are going to get inside it. For May the theme is Beauty's Fresh Picks. The bag that you get this month is canvas which I love. Its a really nice bag this month. It has green leaves on it and kind of hemp looking/feeling. Its not as stiff as the other bags that we've gotten in the past. This month we got 5 products. 


The first product I received was Eva NYC Therapy Session Hair Mask. Umm hello! This is great! This deep conditions, repairs your hair. It has argan oil and this doesn't really need explanation, this stuff is amazing. It also has Karavis protein in it and this helps strengthen your hair by adding elasticity to it. It smells really good and just after one use, your hair feels really soft but not too soft to where you can't really do anything with it. Its nice and doesn't really leave my hair too oily.


The second product I received was Hang Ten Classic Sport SPF 50 sunscreen. This is basically just a sunblock for when you are at the beach or somewhere else that you are active. This stuff is waterproof, sweatproof and has a 80 minute water resistance so you don't have to feel that you need to reapply or get out of the water to reapply when you are in there for an hour. It has a nice matte finish. This is great to use at the beach not prior to makeup application. 


The third product I got was Pacifica Mineral Eyeshadow Duo in Duo 1. This is a light brown shimmer more like a bronze color and then a opal light almost white pink. This eyeshadow is infused with coconut and they are apply really smooth. These are fairly pigmented, not OMG pigmented but enough to where you get good color pay off. I think the colors that I got are more wearable. This is something I can definitely use for work. I like using like nude colors when I have a bold lip. 




The fourth product I got is Boo Boo Cover Up in Medium. This is basically a concealer for when you get a cut. Its good to use instead of a bandage or ointment, you can put this on your wound and this not only covers it up but it will give you coverage just in case its in one of those areas where you don't want showing up. This concealer has aloe, chamomile, green tea, tea tree oil and Vitamin E. All these things are good for healing the wound like the aloe and then the chamomile is to make sure the redness goes away. The rest of the ingredients are there so that you won't be left with scars.




The fifth and final product is the Swissco Electroplated Eyelash Curler. It is just your regular run f the mill curler. I don't think anything special about this curler other than the fact that its purple. I noticed that you could have either gotten the purple or the blue one so I am happy I got the purple one. 



This month's bag was decent. I like when we get a lot of skincare products. I am all for skincare! I would love to see more peels and masks in every bag but hey for $10 these aren't too bad. I think they are definitely worth the $10 since you get a lot of good samples and some are even full size.
