May 2013 Ipsy Bag was paid for by me. I get nothing from them, I’m just a fan!
The May 2013 Ipsy bag was another good one. The theme was Spring Bloom, yet had a chevron bag. I thought that was strange, but I am kind of in love with the bag, so we’ll let it slide. I know what you’re saying, too:
“May’s Ipsy bag? But, ummm…isn’t it JUNE?”
Yes. Yes it is. I had a bit of a shipping issue with my May bag, and it was hung up at the post office a couple towns over for about 10 days. Anyway…
What was in the May 2013 Ipsy bag though?
A full sized Zoya nail lacquer. Squee, right? I received a great white/off-white shade called Jacqueline from the Lovely collection. White nail polish usually reminds me of white out, but the Zoya one was fabulous. Arv $8
Next up was a mini concealer from Yaby. I was not familiar with the brand. It’s just the pan, but you could place it in a magnetic compact and be good to go. The color was pretty good, and it covered well. I guess that’s what you want in a concealer, right? ARV $4.85
There was a full sized Reflecting Lip Gloss from Juice Beauty included. The color is called Fig, and it’s a great coppery neutral shade. It also smells like tangerines! Not a fake, overpowering smell, just a sweet, natural scent. MSRP $15
For the hair, there was a NuMe finishing serum in a 10ml size. While this sounds small, it will last for a really long time. This helps fight frizz, combat flyaways, and adds a glossy shine without being greasy. A 2 oz bottle retails for $29, so this breaks down to about $4.92
Finally, there was a travel size of St Tropez Instant Glow body lotion. I’m a little obsessed with self tanners this year, and I’m not really sure why. So this is perfect for me! It doesn’t smell bad, or artificial. As a plus, it washes off with soap & water. A 5 oz tube is $18, so the 1.69 oz tube clocks in around $6.
All in all, there were 2 full sized products from great brands, two travel sizes from good brands, and a concealer that I’m not sure if it’s full sized or a mini. PLUS the bag! Not including the bag, my value came to $38.85, for just $10 a month! I mean, you just can’t beat that. Not even with a stick. Wanna join Ipsy? Sign up here!
Looks like a great deal and I love the Chevron print of the bag! Very cute!
I love that bag, all the goodies inside are just extra litte bonuses! 🙂
I know, right? I’d pay close to $10 for the bag alone.
I’ve never heard of Ipsy before, but I really like it! The nail polish looks fantastic when you want a nude-type style.
Ipsy’s a pretty fantastic subscription service. There has been a waiting period in the past, but lately the wait time has been shorter and shorter.
I’d love to try out that hair serum!

Great bag this month. The lip gloss and nail polish look awesome. I’m a sucker for samples but I need more makeup bags like I need a hole in the head! I kinda like the boxes better.
I think that all the nice items that you received in the Ipsy Bag is so worth the money! I like that you got all of this stuff for $10 dollars! The bag is so cute!
