Activities

Events that occur on a daily basis. Interactions that would be considered the norm and how they are able to shape our perception of the world and people. People come not only in all shapes and sizes but they are all unique in their own way. The impression we may have of a person also may determines how we may view race, religion and even ourselves. I will talk about something that has effected me and that has left a lasting effect on me.

August Ipsy Bag

 So July was a very bad month for me with Ipsy. I was so upset they sent me a body oil and claimed it was sunscreen which also included sending me a bronzer which I would never use. Now why would I be upset?Its a makeup box that is suppose to help introduce you to new makeup. At the same time they also make you go through a quiz that lets them know what kind makeup style you lean towards and your preference towards makeup products. So guess how I felt when I received items that I had opted out of instead of something remotely close to the preference in my quiz.
    This month the items I received were way better and I was actually happy because I was planning use this month to determine whether or not I would cancel my subscription.
    The bag itself was designed based on the the idea of going back to school. I truly believe that given that the shape was that of a pencil case it should have been able to fit a pencil. Alas to my dismay it didn't so therein I don't consider it "the" bag for school as they claim. Haha.......


These are the following items I received:

1. Dr Brandt Pores No More Pore refiner:

So this is a foundation primer  and a real expensive one at that. I received a sample size in the Ipsy bag and it was worth $11.25. The full size product goes for $45 and is 1 fl oz. I haven't tried it yet but it better be give me the wow factor when I eventually do because given the price of the full sized product it would be hard to commit otherwise.

2. Perversion Mascara by Urban Decay

This is a sample size and I really love Urban Decay. I haven't used it yet but I really look forward to using this. I believe this is a value of $11.

3. J. Cat  Flying Solo Eye Shadow:


This is a full size product and the value is $2.99.  The color is half beige and I haven't used it yet. At the same time most of the eye colors that I have received from Ipsy are in the same similar gold shade. At the same time it also makes me wonder if  they are helping me with a new hobby that of which includes hoarding golden eye shadows since I'll never finish all of them.

4. Jersey Shore Sun Mongogo Lip Conditioner:


Okay when I got this product I got thrown off by the name. I thought the show Jersey Show was doing a transition into makeup. Alas I was glad to know that wasn't the case not being a fan of the show to begin with. Its a full size product that is also 100 percent organic. The product retails for $5.50.

5.  Klorane Dry Shampoo:


Now this is the product that made the bag for me this month. I have just ventured into the world of Dry Shampoo and this one is French at that. I received a travel size in 1.06 ml which is valued at $8. At the same time it better work fabulously because the price is pricey! For me to spend the money to repurchase it better work wonders.

All in all the value of the bag was $38.74 wherein I paid $10 for it. So it was close to four times the value of the bag which was fabulous. If your interested in signing up you may do so through this
