October 2026 Ipsy Bag – Decadence After Dark
Did I manage to miss product choice for October, too? I’m honestly not surprised…my head has been in the clouds lately.
First off, the bag is creepy, kooky and a little bit spooky – I love it.
Two very similar eyeshadow palettes in this month’s bag – Toyfactory Niashadow Eyeshadow Palette and Wingme Cosmetics Mini Muse Eyeshadow Palette. I’ve only used the Wingme one so far, but it was nice. I like that they are both tiny, perfect for travel.
I’ll never turn down a good moisturizer or a good face wash, so I was happy to get both in this month’s bag. First Aid Beauty Ultra Repair Cream Intense Hydration will be great for winter. I’m not familiar with Mi-el Skincare Purifying Cleanser, but I’ve gotten the brand before.
I’ll be giving away the Shades by Shan Brow Gel – I don’t have enough to gel.
I subscribe to the original ipsy bag for $14/month (recently increased from $13/month) and ipsy Ultimate (formerly Icon Box, and before that – Glam Bag X) for an extra $60/quarterly (recently increased from $43/quarterly).

February 2021 Ipsy Bag – Send Love
I’d received the February bag weeks ago, but I had to thaw out a bit before I was able to try products – Texas was frozen solid!
February’s ipsy bag was full of brands that were new to me. I love getting to try out new brands.
My product choice this month was Innisfree Pore Clearing Clay Mask with Volcanic Clusters. It was a nice clay mask, but it did have an odd, vinegar-y smell. I did not find the volcanic clusters though.
Also in this month’s bag: Banila Co Clean It Zero Pore Clarifying Cleansing Balm (a slight menthol odor had me freaked out that I accidentally rubbed Vick’s all over my face and eyes, but it emulsified without blinding me; it reminds me of the Pharmacy Cleansing Balm); Shades by Shan Eyeshadow Duo in “Whip & Shortcake Honey”; a Shaina B Miami Blush Brush; and Soroci Morning Waterdrop Cream (a nice, light moisturizer).
I subscribe to the basic ipsy bag for $12/month. If you’d like to try Ipsy – click here. I’ll earn 250 points if you sign up through my referral link.
