September was the fifth month I received a Birchbox. September brought about a name change. Myglam is now ipsy…beauty by you. The word ipsy comes from ipse Latin for “sense of self”.
My bag consisted of:
- SOHO Smudge Brush
- Jane Sparkle Gloss in Sparkle Pink – full size
- Circus by Andrea’s Choice Nail Color in Tightrope – full size
- Carol’s Daughter Monoi Repairing Split End Sealer – sample
- Mirabella Eye Color in Semiformal – full size
- $20.00 off coupon for JustFab
I really enjoyed EVERYTHING about the September ipsy bag. The SOHO smudge brush worked better for me as a crease brush. The brush blends eyeshadow quite nicely. I was really surprised at how pigmented the Jane sparkle gloss was. The lip gloss also had great staying power. The nail polish is a neon purple. The nail polish worked better when using a base and topcoat. The Carol’s daughter split end sealer made my hair soft and manageable. Any product that makes it easier to comb my natural hair is a winner in my book. I really loved the way it smelled too. The Mirabella eyeshadow is a medium brown shade. Not only was I able to use the eyeshadow as a lid color, but it also made a great blending color for me. The bag also included a $20.00 coupon to JustFab. There were two items that really stood out for me. The Carol’s Daughter Monoi Repairing Split End Sealer. I will definitely be buying the full size of that. I ordered a cute pair of booties in JustFab. 😀
September Issue was the theme of the Birchbox. My box consisted of:
- Color Club Birchbox Custom Polish in Status Update – mini size
- Nexxus Pro-Mend Split End Treatment System: shampoo, conditioner, leave-in treatment – sample
- twistband Birchbox Custom Lace Hair Tie
- Vasanti Brighten Up! Enzymatic Face Rejuvenator – deluxe sample
- Youngblood Mineral Primer – deluxe sample
- Mighty Leaf Tea Company – sample
- $25.00 Gift Card to Madewell
This was a better box than the previous month. The Color Club nail polish was a deep gray. The Nexxus did a good job of cleaning and conditioning my hair. I wish there was a bigger sample of the Nexxus Pro-Mend Split End Treatment System. My youngest ended up taking the twistband from me. I did notice a difference in the way my skin looked after using the Vasanti Brighten Up! My skin looked more refreshed. The Youngblood Mineral Primer also worked. I didn’t see much a difference between other facial primers I’ve used. The Mighty Leaf Tea Company samples were delicious. I didn’t use the Madewell gift card. Even with $25.00 off the clothes were still beyond what I could afford. What stood out for me were the tea samples. The samples came in three flavors: Vanilla Bean, Green Tea Tropical, Chamomile Citrus. The Green Tea Tropical was my favorite.
