Ipsy is a monthly beauty and makeup subscription box. Each month you get full-size or deluxe-sized products, plus a cute makeup bag.
This is one of Liz’s top recommendations if you are looking for a subscription box – the value and sample sizes are amazing. (Check out our list of the best beauty boxes for 2019 and our reviews of Cheap Subscription Boxes for more recommendations!)
(FYI – Just like Birchbox, Ipsy sends out many different variations of their bag each month – so my review is just one of the bag variations you might receive!)
My Subscription Addiction pays for this subscription. (Check out the review process post to learn more about how we review boxes).

My Ipsy Glam Bag June 2019 Review
My bag this month features skincare, makeup, and nail polish. I received several of the same items as Megan this month. You can check out her bag here. Now, let’s see what I got!
A card with information about the month's theme, your included items, and other Ipsy info is included.
Each month, Ipsy subscribers get a makeup bag in addition to their items. This month contained the long-awaited Tetris themed bags!
Delectable by Cake Beauty Triple Citrus Blend Butter Wash Body Polish, 30 ml - Estimated Value $1.53 (Buy 236 ml full-size for $12.00)
This deliciously-scented scrub is really hydrating and creamy when slathered on. It's not very scrubby but has just enough grit to be a good everyday dry area buffer. It rinses away easily and I love the citrusy summer scent it leaves in my bathroom.
Hey Honey Wild Berry & Honey Yogurt Recovery Mask, 15 ml - Estimated Value $10.29 (Buy a full-size 70 ml for $48.00)
I love a good moisturizing cream mask, so I was pleased to see this in my bag! The berry yogurt scent and little popping beads made application of this lotiony-textured mask pleasant. After about 20 minutes it was dry (but not tight and crunchy) and I removed it with a warm washcloth. As soon as I started applying my other products, I noticed pilling, as if not all of the mask came off. While I like how this mask made my skin feel (nice and hydrated) I have others that are better and rinse away without leaving a film.
Fluide 7-Free Polish in ‘Secret Project Robot’, 10 ml - FULL SIZE! Retail Value $15.00
I'm beginning to think I need to edit my nail polish collection. None of my other polishes apply as smoothly and evenly as this one does. The intense royal blue shade is opaque with two thin coats and dries down to a shiny finish. The formula is 7-free and vegan.
Tetris x ipsy Lip Gloss in Tetrimino, 4g - FULL SIZE!
This gloss is exclusive to Ipsy and part of the Tetris x ipsy Collection. Fun! The gloss is thick, moisturizing, and not too sticky. The gold champagne shimmer looks fresh and pretty on bare lips, or, you can pop a layer over any lip color for a more dimensional look. And, it smells like cupcakes!
Soroci Lycomato Super Restorative Sleeping Mask, 15g - Estimated Value $7.50 (Buy a 60g full size for $30)
I've tried this mask two different ways and I'm just not a fan. As a sleeping mask, it's too lightweight for my very dry skin. I like a sleeping mask to basically be an occlusive to seal all of my skincare products into my skin. As a moisturizer, the light gel-lotion texture feels nice but never quite sinks in and leaves my face feeling kinda slimy. If you like a lightweight sleeping mask, this might work for you.
Verdict: This Ipsy Glam Bag is a little difficult to estimate the total value of since I don’t have a retail cost of that Tetris lip gloss. Without including the gloss, I received a total value of $34.32. Since I am (and have always been) a Tetris fan, I think the bag and lip gloss are so cool. And the lip gloss is a really nice formula! I'm also impressed with the formula of the nail polish. Both masks ending up being a bust for me, which is a bummer. I still think it's great to be able to try all of these products for just $10 a month and I almost always find something I love.
