April 2025 Ipsy Bag – Spring Into Self-Care
Where did April go? I haven’t touched a single sample from this month’s “Spring Into Self-Care” bag…
My product choice this month was NIP + FAB Vitamin C Fix Hybrid Gel Cream 5%. I don’t remember what the other choices were, but I guess this was the best one? I have been super into face care lately, so it was probably more lip liners or plumpers. Nope.
My other products this month were Benefit The POREfessional Deep Retreat Pore-Clearing Clay Mask (oh yes, I am HERE for clay masks); blinc UltraVolume TUBING Mascara Mini in “Black” (but the tubes always drop off and land on my cheeks?); Kiramoon Silkie Rinse Gentle Hydrating Cleanser (popping in my bag for my flight tomorrow); and KVOSSNYC Lip Trip Lip Liner in “Soho” (giving away).
Not a horrible bag this month, but I think I need to change my profile to stop sending me so much mascara?
I subscribe to the basic ipsy bag for $14/month (recently increased from $13/month) and Icon Box (formerly Glam Bag X) for an extra $60/quarterly (recently increased from $43/quarterly). If you’d like to try Ipsy – click here. I’ll earn 250 points if you sign up through my referral link.

Sephora Play! October 2016 – The Cool Cut
This is it – the Sephora purchase that put me over the edge for Rouge status in 2017. $10 and BOOM.
October’s theme is “The Cool Cut” – innovative products that are about to hit it big.
One of my favorite Sephora sample discoveries is in this box – Belif The True Cream Aqua Bomb. It has me jumping on the Korean Beauty bandwagon. Also in this month’s box: Smashbox Always On Matte Liquid Lipstick in “Driver’s Seat” (interested in how their formula compares to Kat Von D and Jeffree); Cristophe Robin Regenerating Mask with Rare Prickly Pear Seed Oil (Winnie the Pooh approved?); Skin Inc. Pure Revival Peel (also good stuff – I bought some the last time I was in Vegas); Blinc Mascara Amplified; and Yves Saint Laurent Mon Paris (not bad – smells like rich people).
If you haven’t signed up yet – you are missing out! This is by far the best subscription box I get every month. Sephora Play is only $10/month. You can sign up at sephora.com/play.
