5 awesome products valued at over $60 for only $10!!! My August Ipsy Bag



This month's super cute Ipsy Glam bag came in this cute bag that was designed by Ipsy creator Michelle Phan.  If you aren't familiar with Ipsy it's a $10 a month subscription where you get 5 makeup or skin care samples all in a cute bag.  As you'll see from this post, I always get way more than $10 of products.


The first product I received was the Velvet Touch Blush in Shade 02 from JAPONESQUE.  The shade is a pinkish-peach with a hit of shimmer.  It is a very smooth power that goes on very subtly.  You can build it up or leave it as a nice flush of color.   The sample value that I received is $5.11.


The next product is Mongongo Lip Conditioner in Vanilla Coconut Cream from Jersey Shore Cosmetics.  Mongongo oil is the going to be my new obsession because it hydrates, regenerates and is rich in calcium and antioxidants.  I also like this lip conditioner because it's organic and made with non-GMO ingredients.  It has a vanilla and coconut smell.  You can get 50% off your purchase from Jersey Shore Cosmetics with code IPSY50.  This product was full sized and it's value is $10.  So far, my total bag value is $15.11.

Third in the bag is the Peter Lamas Supreme Radiance Complexion Booster.  It is a lightly tinted, sheer brightening cream for an everyday look.  It also includes light reflecting minerals to give you a radiant look.  It contains retinol and salicylic acid to reduce fine lines and wrinkles. In addition, coenzyme Q-10 and vitamin E oil will hydrate, smooth and protect your skin.  You can get 20% off with code IPSYAUG16.  The sample value of this product is $14.97 which brings a bag total to $30.08.  (Already three times as much as I paid for the bag).

The No-Tug Waterproof Gel Eyeliner from IT Cosmetics was also in this month's bag.  This eyeliner is very smooth to go on easily without damaging your eyelids.  In addition to going on smoothly it is also waterproof.  It is free of skin irritants such as parabens, frangrances and sulfates and contains ingredients such as hydrolyzed collagena nd silk proteints that are good fro your skin.   This sample is valued at $15.71 and gives me a bag total of $45.79.

Last in my bag is the Neapolitan Palette from Jelly Pong Pong Cosmetics.  This trio includes shimmery fall shades that coordinate great together.  They last up to eight hours on the lid due to the secret ingredient of gardenia flower extract. It also is free from those bad ingredients like phthalates, fragrance and parabens.   Use code IPSY30 for 30% anything from Jelly Pong Pong.  This sample was full sized and valued at $17.95.  This leaves me with a total bag value of $63.74!  Can you believe that I paid $10 and got all of this stuff.
