September Ipsy

This months Ipsy theme was Street Style. On the Facebook group most of the items were spoiled before the bags came out, also you could share a link on your Facebook to get early access to your glam room. Ipsy is a monthly subscription service that costs $10.00 a month, but being in Canada I have to pay for shipping which is another 4.95 USD so you'll pay the difference of exchange rate. If you want to subscribe you can do so here: http://www.ipsy.com/r/3kg1
This is what came in this months bag. I'm mostly happy with this bag.
The first item I got is called Caviar CC Cream 10-in-1 Complete Correction by Alterna Haircare. I'm pretty excited for this item, it is a leave in "hair perfector" that you use after washing your hair. It says that it perfects your hair in 10 ways: moisture, shine, smoothness, softness, UV protection, manageability, strength, anti-breakage, heat protection and light hold. This product sold at Sephora for $31.00 for 2.5 oz and this is 0.85 oz making the sample worth $10.54. 


The next item I got is a nail polish by Pacifica in the colour Red Red Wine. These nail polishes are 7 Free meaning they are made without many of the chemicals that are typically used in cosmetics and have a vegan brush. This is a full sized item worth $9.00 on the Pacifica website. 

The next item I got is a moisturizing cream face cleanser by Nourish Organic. This is fragrance free, alcohol free, gluten free and vegan. It is made with aloe vera, cucumber and watercress which I'm excited for since I have pretty sensitive skin so I should be using more products like this. You can buy this item in Canada from Well.ca for $15.99 for a 177 mL bottle making the 30 mL sample worth $2.71.

The next item is Art Touch Tinted Lip Gloss from Cailyn. The one I got is in the colour Love Affair which is a darker red, I wish I got the other colour which is more of a pink but it's still nice. This item is a full sized item of 4 mL which is sold on the Cailyn website for $19.00.

The last item I got was a double sided Infinity Shadow/Crease Brush from Crown Brush. This brush is number C476 which is $17.50 online. I have recently been loving new brushes so I'm excited for this one.

The bag this month was nice, it's a little bigger than they normally are and looks nice.
I really liked this months bag. It had a hair product, nail polish, face cleanser, lip gloss and a brush which is a wide variety is items. Also the overall value is $58.75 which is great for the $15.00 I paid for it, and three of the five items were full size.
