Ipsy is a monthly beauty and makeup subscription box. For $14 per month, you get five full-sized or deluxe-sized products, plus a cute makeup bag.
This is one of our top recommendations if you are looking for a subscription box — the value and sample sizes are amazing. Just like Birchbox, Ipsy sends out many different variations of their bag each month — so this review is for just one of the bag variations you might receive!
My Subscription Addiction pays for this subscription. (Check out our editorial guidelines to learn more about how we review boxes).
First Impressions
One of my favorite features of the Ipsy Glam Bag is the excitement of the bag design. I have been a subscriber for years, and the fun designs (and, of course, the awesome products) keep me coming back for more. To celebrate the onset of spring, we received the cutest strawberry-colored bag! Featuring a fun fabric texture, a hint of green, and a strawberry zipper pull, this bag is my favorite to date! Yay!
Also included is a product card that features the "Main Character Energy" theme, information about the contents of this month's bag, and a peek at a few of the upcoming 2025 Edit by Nars.
Now, on to the items!
ATHR BEAUTY Crystal-Infused Lip Gloss - Estimated Value $14.00
ATHR Beauty’s Crystal Infused Lip Gloss is a gorgeous addition to my makeup routine! The beautiful pastel pink color creates a shimmery glow on my lips, adding the perfect touch of radiance. It glides on effortlessly and feels smooth and hydrating, making application a breeze. While it does have an interesting earthy scent that I’m not a huge fan of, the stunning finish and comfortable wear make it well worth it!
The finish of this lip gloss is absolutely gorgeous! Creating a shimmery, light pink color, it is perfect for spring and looks amazing on!
ELEMIS Pro-Collagen Marine Cream - Deluxe Mini - Estimated Value $17.30
ELEMIS Pro-Collagen Marine Cream is a high-quality skincare product that feels like a little luxury. It smells amazing, making it a pleasure to use every day. The cream absorbs quickly and feels light on the skin, never heavy or greasy. With powerful ingredients like padina pavonica, chlorella, and ginkgo biloba, it keeps skin hydrated and helps smooth out fine lines. It is a bit pricey, but the way it makes my skin look soft, smooth, and glowing makes it worth it!
FIRST AID BEAUTY Bump Eraser - Deluxe Sample - Estimated Value $6.00
This scrub is a total game-changer for smooth skin! It combines both chemical and physical exfoliants—like glycolic acid, lactic acid, and pumice beads—to help reduce rough, bumpy skin. It gently removes dead skin and clears out pores, leaving my skin feeling super soft. Plus, the scent is absolutely beautiful, making each use feel like a little treat. I use it a couple of times a week, and my skin has improved so much! I am definitely thinking about buying the full size version of this to incorporate regularly.
KARMA BEAUTY Multi Peptide Hair Serum - Deluxe Sample - Estimated Value $20.00
The KARMA BEAUTY Multi Peptide Hair Serum is a fantastic addition to my hair care routine! It gives my hair a beautiful, bouncy look without making it greasy or heavy. I have fine hair that usually gets weighed down easily, but this serum feels lightweight and nourishing. Plus, it smells amazing and works well with all hair types, making it a great choice for anyone looking to boost their hair’s health and shine!
WHATS UP BEAUTY Mascara - Deluxe Sample - Estimated Value $8.00
The last item I got was a deluxe mini mascara, and I was excited to try it out! It has a fluffy wand that coats my lashes in bold black color for a nice, voluminous look. It lasted all day—even through my volleyball game—without smudging, which was a big plus. While it wasn’t as dramatic as I usually go for, it still worked well, and I was happy to test out a new brand!
Makeup, skincare, and haircare are all things that make me happy, and I love trying out new products! This month’s items helped me create fun looks while also taking care of my hair and skin. I can’t wait to see the long-term results from the moisturizer and scrub, because the initial ones are great!
Verdict
I love Ipsy Glam Bag and am always excited to try out new beauty products. While I have brands that I adore, I am always up for the option to try something new! This month I received five fun items that worked really well for me. My favorites being the mascara, moisturizer, and lip gloss. For $14, I was able to try some new skincare and makeup brands, and have been treated to an ultimate skin makeover! What do you think will be in store for the April curation? I can't wait to see!
