I am not affiliated with or compensated by Ipsy. This monthly review is purely my own.

So I'm a little late to the game I guess, I had never heard of Ipsy until about a month ago. It's a beauty monthly subscription service/box thingy and it is awwwwesome. 
There are lots of box subscription services out there, (and if you know of a good one, let me know!) but this one caught my attention because it's beauty products (usually department store brands) for only $10 a month!!!
I watched a ton of YouTube reviews for previous months, and this box doesn't seem to disappoint very often! Although I will say I thought this month's loot looked a little skimp compared to what you usually get. I heard some similar opinions from other Ipsy subscribers, but I still loved what I got this month!
Everyone gets different stuff based on their style, which is determined by a questionaire you fill out when you sign up. There were 25 total products for this month, and you get 5 of those based on what they think you'd like.
This is Figs & Rouge Rose Berry Shea Butter Hand Cream, and it retails for $6.56. I received the full size product, which isn't very big but it's perfect for fitting in your purse. I liked the smell of the Rose Berry okay, it smells sweet, and I heard the mango version smells amazing. I didn't like how it felt kind of watery and thin, but it didn't leave my hands feeling greasy; it absorbs really fast. 
This is the Indie Lee Brightening Cleanser and the full product size retails for $32. I haven't tried this yet but I'm excited to. This is the description from their website:
"Our bestselling cleanser naturally washes away impurities to leave skin soft, refreshed, and luminous. A blend of natural ingredients (like strawberry fruit extract and hydrolyzed wheat protein) make it ideal for cleansing, hydrating, tightening, firming, and complexion control."

  Yes, please!
Okay, this stuff is AMAZING. I actually involuntarily moaned out "OH MY GOD!" when I put it on in the shower. It makes your face feel warm and it smells like pumpkin pie. I felt like I was taking a warm pumpkin pie and just rubbing it all onto my face! That's one thing I love about the Ipsy bag; they send you season appropriate products, which makes it even more fun!
This is the Warm Love Pumpkin Exfoliating Mask and the full size product retails for $23. The product description online says to use 1-2 times a week for improved skin texture. It says there's pumpkin, papaya and pineapple enzymes, jojoba oil, and vitamin E. 
This is Starlooks Lip Gloss in Guilty Pleasure and the full size product retails for $12. I really like this lip gloss and the color. It's not sticky and the color is perfect for me because I don't usually stray too far from my natural lip color, (not usually brave enough).
This is the Skone Cosmetics TATTOOED Waterproof Eyeliner and the full product size (which I received) retails for $15. https://dubaiescortstars.com
I actually wear eyeliner almost every single day, and I loooove this eyeliner. I made the perfect line and wing!

Ugh, couldn't decide between 3 or 4 stars. I don't even know why I'm not giving it 4 stars. Maybe because I'm not totally in love with the hand cream. Or maybe because I saw what other people got in their bags and I was jealous because what they had looked better. I'm an ungrateful wench because I actually really like and will use all of these products.
