Ipsy May glam bag 2014

Sorry for the delay in this post. I have been really busy with very little "free" time. This month's theme was called Fresh Picks, this bag was more pampering rather make-up which was disappointing. But here is my review......

 The first item I received was this bottle of Eau thermale Avene spring water. You are suppose to spray your face with it to freshen up, wake up, set make-up or whatever. I did give this a try but I was not impressed with the results. Or I should say that I didn't notice any changes after using it. You can pretty much put water in a spray bottle and squirt your face for the same effect. Maybe I'm not using it right or something but this is not something that really wowed me and I wouldn't purchase this product in the future.

Ipsy April glam bag 2014

April showers bring May flowers except here in lovely Michigan. We enjoyed a beautiful weekend and I even wore capris to work but then the following day it snowed and left a nice little blanket on the ground. Very disappointing needless to say. But.............. then I got my awesome Ipsy glam bag!!!! I was really looking forward to this one because I excited to get to try some of the products that I was to receive this month.

The theme for this months bag was BEAUTY ROCKS. The glam bag was absolutely stunning....

 I really like that this glam bag is more square unlike the usual rectangle shape the other glam bags have been.

Ipsy March Glam Bag 2014

I realize I am really behind on my posting whoops but here is my March Ipsy Glam Bag for 2014. If you are unsure what Ipsy is "Each month, subscribers will receive a beautiful Glam Bag with deluxe samples and full-sized beauty products. Members can watch and play along with the stylists with the same products that they are using.All for only $10 a month. "   

             This months theme was "Destination Beauty" although I would have loved a St. Patricks Day themed bag but this one was pretty neat. 

Birchbox January and February 2014

So I decided to break down and give Birch Box a try mainly because I liked the idea of collecting points to buy more expensive products that I can't afford to just shell out at once. I have only had it for two months and I must say that after reading the many complaints about people always getting tea I was disappointed that I haven't received any yet. I know it sounds crazy but I like tea and I like trying a wide range of tea. But anyways on to my BB's.

 This is what I received in my January box. I wasn't all too thrilled with it, I felt like it was poorly put together and I highly dislike getting shampoo and conditioner as two separate products rather them being combined to equal one product.

Ipsy February glam bag 2014

So I just received my February glam bag the other day and I was really super excited to get it because this months bag really hit the spot on all my favorite beauty products. With most of my bags there are at least 2-3 products that I do not look forward too but I finally got the perfect bag where I will actually use everything in it!!

This months theme is called "The look of love" well it is February so go figure they would use that as this months theme. ;)

Starbox January 2014

If you haven't noticed, I LOVE MAKE-UP! No seriously I have some sort of addiction that just keeps growing and growing. I think my addiction really started taking off when I subscribed to Ipsy and discovered all sorts of awesome make-up brands that I just had to invest in. Some of my favorites are Coastal Scents, Benefit, BH Cosmetics and Starlooks. Unfortunately Starlooks happens to be the only one to have a monthly subscription service that I just had to try out. This happens to be my first month with Starlooks Starbox, it's $15 + SH a month and you get 3-4 full size products right to your door but better yet they send out birthday boxes and referral boxes as well as a box for their new loyalty program. Every 3 months that you continuously subscribe they will send you ANOTHER BOX! That's an awful lot of potential monthly boxes.

Alright enough of my rambling, lets move on to the goodies.

Unlike Ipsy, Starlooks comes in a white mailer so not as exciting but the actual starlooks box is cute and the products are wrapped in tissue paper.
