IPSY Glam Bag Plus Review – January 2021

“This palette at least also arrived with a pretty pink-peach blush and soft bronzer that I could use to contour my cheeks (though I won’t).”

I’m sorry, I don’t understand this comment. It sounded as though you liked this palette, even saying that you love the two highlighters, but saying you won’t use the other two squares (without offering a reason as to why) seemed to express to me that you did NOT like this item. I love your reviews and I think I’ve read most of them, and I’m not trying to be mean here, I just truly don’t understand this particular comment. It’s a pretty palette at a good price and I’d consider buying it but I’d like to get a clear understanding of what you think of it (and why you won’t use half of it) before I do. Thank you!

Really disappointed with the Kate Sommerville Goat Milk Cream. It is very very thin and not what I would call a cream at all. It is so thin as to be a problem – you have to be so careful with the jar or else it will spill, especially since it is filled up to the very top of the jar. It would have been better to have been packaged in a pump bottle. Thank you for a great review, especially about those ingredients. I will use this cream on my hands or body and not on my face.

I think I might just be done with Ipsy. I seem to only like what I choose from them. I’ll spend the money on FFF or Boxy add-ons instead.

Oh black history month moment buttah is actually a black owned brand and the cleanser is formulated primarily for melanated skin.

I got both cleansers too. I always need them and am hoping to find one I love a lot one day.

I missed the choose your own period so Ipsy so chose for me. I received the Mills peel mask, BBB kit, Source D’Adage fragrance, Purlisse Blue Lotus moisturizer, & Wander Beauty Lip Oil.

Mills mask – doesn’t come with the spatula which is $10 on its own on the site. I used a tiny silicone spatula from my kitchen. This mask did absolutely nothing for me so I’ll be pawing it off on a friend.

BBB Kit – not terrible. I probably won’t ever use the scissors or double ended brush tool (already have one I like), but the tweezers did a good job removing a splinter lol.

Source D’Adage fragrance – a lot of people hated this on the app. I was excited to get a fragrance, but it’s very piney, strong smelling, and masculine. I gave this to my husband would said he’d wear it sparingly.

Purlisse Blue Lotus moisturizer – I like that is has no fragrance and has a nice texture and emolient quality. However, I have incredibly sensitive skin and dermatitis so this actually (and surprisingly) irritated my face. For neck use in the AM only.

Wander Lip Oil – this stuff in general is pretty nice feeling, but the ingredients were unfavorable – mineral oil, phthalates, and parabens. The last two chemicals particularly being things you probably don’t want in or on your body.

My overall review of the bag is so-so but I also didn’t get to make my own choices. I avoid cleansers, face moisturizers, serums, and oils because I already have a regimen that works for my persnickety skin.

I’m so drawn to Pixi products for some reason, and now I want this palette too. The other highlighter palette looks good too. I’m pretty sure I have every possible shade of highlighter, but oh well.

Thank you for all the reviews but especially of the goat milk moisturizer ingredients. I had used it for a few days/a week and noticed that I was getting more blackheads on my nose. I didn’t make the connection until I read your review! I will be on the lookout for those ingredients in other products as well, but as some of the other ladies commented, I will be using it as a body lotion or hand lotion. I count on you to have our backs and you have not disappointed.

My bag arrived with THREE items (the Pixi palette, Purlisse moisturizer, and perfume) completely destroyed! Luckily, they sent me replacements, but they were out of the Pixi palette so I got a very boring Ofra highlighter. *sigh* I did get the goat milk moisturizer and I actually like it as a daytime product. I also got the High Eye Q eye gel and I like that as well.

I have received the goat milk moisturizer in several bags. Since I’m not really crazy about putting it on my face even with my super dry skin, I have come to use it on the backs of my hands. I tried to unload it on a couple of the selling sites, but it really doesn’t come in any price. But it really does a good job on the backs of my hands.
I got the vita see cleanser as an add-on in my last regular Ipsy bag.Happy with that one. I tend to rotate cleansers quite a bit.

I tried to get into highlighters but after a few hours on, it seems to separate from my face and look “textured.” I’m starting to realize more and more as I get older that less really is more.

I also chose that Buttah cleanser before I realized it’s meant for people with melanin rich skin. I was going to pass it on before even trying it. Have you been happy with it?
