Ipsy September Glam Bag Plus Unboxing

 

A couple months ago, Ipsy started to change how their "Glam Bag Plus" bags were done.

(Incase you're not familiar with Ipsy, they have 3 subscription types.

Glam Bag = 5 Deluxe Samples for $12/month

Glam Bag plus = 5 Full Size products for $25/month

Glam Bag Ultimate = 8 Full size products and 4 sample size for $50/month)

So, originally, you were able to pick one item for your bag and the rest would be chosen for you based off of your preferences. NOW, on the 2-3rd of the month, you're able to choose 3 of your items from a selection of products and then the last 2, they choose for you.

Part of me enjoys the control I get over my products but a part of me also enjoyed the surprises each month. 

Another thing they changed were the bags for GBP. All GBP  will be come with a drawstring bag instead of the little coin bags they originally came with. I think they changed this so that you can actually put the products in the bag instead of just shipping the products with a bag that they won't fit in, haha.

This month's bags were all a gold and burgundy themed corduroy theme which I was all about (Gryffindorrrrrrr)

buttttt, let's check out what came in this months bag!

Boxyluxe September 2020 Unboxing

 

I'll be the first to admit that I have a problem. And my problem...is subscription boxes. 

I used to have three (Birchbox, Boxycharm and Ipsy) but I quickly realized that I enjoyed receiving full size products more then samples so once my birchbox came up for renewal, I canceled it.

I've always been generally happy with my Boxycharm and Ipsy glam bag plus though!

I have (of course) the normal Boxycharm Subscription that gets sent every month with 5 full sized products ranging from skincare and makeup to life style items for aprox $25 a month (not including tax).

With the base box, I also upgrade every 3 months (quarterly) to their BoxyLuxe Box. This include 8+ products, in which you get to choose 2 of them, for $49.99 (not including tax).

I was SUPER happy with this box in particular because I received items that I had been eyeing (because I keep up with spoilers and stuff) and am excited to share with you all what I got!

Kaja Beauty Bento Glowing Guava Review

 

Hello again!

I told you all that I would definitely be posting more and I plan to follow through!

One of this things that did NOT take a hit throughout this world pandemic is my makeup shopping.

Well, that's not exactly true. I did slow down on my makeup intake but mainly because I haven't been wearing makeup at all or taking part in any photoshoots recently.

I did a decent amount DURING the mandatory stay-at-home stuff but after that, nada.

One of the things that kept me entertained and not dying form boredom where my subscription boxes! I'm hoping to start reviewing those but with shipping being so finicky, it's been a toss up of wether I've been receiving them in a timely manner. Anywhoooo~

Onto the actual post!
