IPSY May 2013

I received my IPSY bag in the mail today. Keep reading to see what I got!

Price: $10.00 (free shipping)

Ships out: Every month.

Extras: Each month the products featured in the bag have special subscriber discounts.

This Month's theme is 'Spring Fever'

The bag this month was shades of orange and green - almost like a Missoni print. 

Each bag has discounts on the month's products, which included a coupon code for $110.00 off hair styling tools and hair extensions, plus a free thermal pouch at NuMe. 

FULL SIZE .33oz. Pacifica 'Island Vanilla' perfume roll on. Really warm,vanilla-y scent. It's described as "Tahitian vanilla, loved for its fruity and slightly floral aroma, is anchored with rich Bourbon vanilla notes." I think this would be nice to wear in the fall. It's a great size to throw in your purse. 

Approximate Value: $12.00

 .14fl. oz. Juice Beauty lipgloss in 'Pink' Nice color in the bottle. The gloss is really thin, I applied it and it felt very watery. Color wasn't very pigmented. It left a slight hint of color, and a good amount of shine on my lips. Don't think it lasted on my lips for even an hour.

Approximate Value: $7.50

Yaby Concealer refill in 'Buff' When I first took this out of the bag, I thought it was an eyeshadow. I tried to swatch the color and noticed that the product was creamy. It wasn't until I went to the website where I found out exactly what I got. Bonus - I think this color might work for me. Don't know if everyone got the same color or if it was personalized to a color that might fit my skin tone. This product would fit nicely in the Glam RX pallet that came in the March bag. Unfortunately I was still on the waiting list when this bag shipped, so I don't know what I'm going to do with this sample. 

Approximate Value: $4.85

FULL SIZE Zoya nail polish in 'Neely' It's a nice sea foam green color. I immediately painted my nails. The color is nice and the polish dries quickly. I would purchase from this brand again. I checked out the website and it says that this color was originally created for the runway show of designer Peter Som. 

Approximate Value: $8.00

10ml. NuMe Finishing Serum I have received a sample of another NuMe product from another sample box in the past and it worked really well. Like impressively well. But this brand is soooooo expensive. I have high hopes for this sample. 

Approximate Value: $20.34

Total Approximate Value: $52.69

I'm horrible at math, so I'm not confident that I did all the calculations correctly on the approximate values of these samples. However, if I did do them correctly - that's a really high value for this bag! In all there are a few products that I am excited to try out and overall this is a great bag.
