Ipsy September 2015

September this year was really warm. I felt like it is still summer, and the bag Ipsy sent us was a beautiful example of the glam golden days at the end of the summer.

What did I get? Quite a nice stash.Here is the picture.

Prep yourself up, buttercup.

In anticipation of the comeback of scholarly duties , August Ipsy bag was in a great houndstooth  print. I really like this bag and it's content, so without further ado let's take a look at my goodies.

In which I'm wondering where did the time go

Wow, it seems like just yesterday I said to myself:"I'll post it tomorrow." In fact it has been almost a year since my last post. 

That's just lazy. 

I was posting pictures of my bags on Instagram but it seems like I will have to do a short review of the things I got in them, and the things I kept. 

I must confess that there was a moment when I felt a little overwhelmed with all the samples I was getting- I mean how many lipsticks can I use ( hint I'm a lipgloss kind of gal) but I really started working on my spending habit and on using the things I got.  I started to reward myself with posting a monthly picture of all the things I used in a given month and I am feeling a little better about buying Ipsy. 

Despite all the ravings about points, I am not inclined to go back to Birchbox because two sample boxes were too much for me and Birchbox samples were just disappointing ( especially when I would see other boxes that had better products or had more products to review). 

There is one more box I would like to try, but with all the expenses I can't justify it to myself yet. It's petit vour  which is a monthly cruelty free vegan box that Liz from www.mysubscriptionaddiction.com  really recommended. It is $15 for four products. I promised myself that I will sign up for it if I get bored with Ipsy. well that's enough of my ramblings, I better start writing a post on September Ipsy and then work backwards through the other boxes.
