Are Beauty Subscriptions Worth It?

We have all heard of various beauty subscriptions saying that we can get amazing and worthwhile beauty products every month for a certain amount of money. Now I didn't go and order from every beauty subscription but I did subscribe to one. Which one? Ipsy!

I know everyone is a bit skeptical of ordering things online and not even truly knowing what you will be receiving or what it is even worth. And I get that! Heck I've been thinking that way too. But I heard great reviews from various personal friends of mine saying that they loved it and I went ahead and signed up at Ipsy. It toke me a while to get off the wait list but when my package arrived I truly was excited. 

For my package from Ipsy I had to pay $14.95 because I live in Canada. Wasn't thrilled to hear I had to pay more but still with everything I received I can't complain. 

In total I received 5 different products:

•Briogeo: Rosarco Milk™ Reparative Leave-In Conditioning Spray-$25C for full sized products

•Urban Decay: 24/7 Glide on Lip Pencil + BONUS Revolution High-Color Lipgloss--Full sized lipgloss is $22 while the glide on pencil for full sized is $20

•BelláPierre Cosmetics: Waterproof Mineral Gel Eyeliner Pencil---$14.99

•Luxie Beauty: Tapered Blending Eye Brush 205----$12

•AMIE: Morning Dew Matte-Finish Moisturizer---$9.90 for full sized product

I do have to say with everything I received I am definitely quite happy because even though most of the products are samples I still received a full sized product and all and all the total value of the products exceed the amount of $14.95 that I paid. So, yes beauty subscriptions right off the bat does seem worth it.

I did want to try Boxy charm because they do give full sized items but it does cost a tad bit more than Ipsy but what I like about Ipsy is that I get introduced to new makeup companies. So as far as being a blogger goes it is beneficial for me and honestly at this point I'm not looking at being subscribed to multiple subscription boxes at the same time.

Is there any beauty subscriptions I should give a try to? And to any who cater to Canadians? Leave a comment.

Neutrogena: Healthy Skin Instant Tone Corrector (Review)

Image
***Not Cruelty Free 👎*** This silky, lightweight formula is meant to smooth the skin and correct complexion in seconds. This formula contains essential soy which is "proven" to correct and brighten skin tone while also reducing the look of dark spots, pores and wrinkles. It also helps make-up to be applied smoothly and last longer. The SPF in the tone corrector helps the skin looking healthy. It can be worn alone or with makeup. It contains SPF 15 and is for all skin types. This product costs around $20 but I got it for a $1! You can checkout Neutrogena's website  here.   Essentially, this is a tone corrector and it can be used as a primer after moisturizer. When I read the description on the box I was praying to God that this would work because as I've previously stated in the past few blog posts I've written; this summer my skin has been freaking out with pimples and in consequence I have dark spots all over my chin area where I previously had pimples

True Blood: Season 1 Episode 6 Cold Ground (Episode Review)

Image
((((((This review contains spoilers.)))))) Adele Stackhouse is dead and of course Sookie is in shock but damn everyone keeps on bugging her. Can everyone just let the poor girl grieve? Of course Sam and Bill have to seize each other up. My question is why does Bill think he knows Sookie so well? Dude, you've known her maybe a week tops. Or has he known her for a week as he would like everyone to believe? I don't understand how Sookie was able to clean up the kitchen after her grandmother was murdered in it. It's a shame that Adele died she was such a gentle spirit.  Jason is just slowly deteriorating beyond belief. Addicted to vampire blood, suspected of several murders and now hitting his own sister. Thank God for Tara and Lafayette because they are amazing friends. They are funny and caring I wish they were my friends.  Sookie yelling and cursing at everyone during the funeral just made me laugh so much. I would react the same way if not worse had I been abl

Ouija: Origin Of Evil (Movie Review)

Image
(((((Please be warned there are spoilers))))) Movie Summary: In 1960's California, a fake medium's daughter tries to communicate with her late father through a Ouija board, but unleashes a demon instead. This movie is the prequel of the movie Ouija which I have already reviewed. The review for the movie Ouija is here. In the movie we are introduced to the Zander family. The widowed mother Alice and her two daughters Paulina and Doris. Due to losing her husband, Alice becomes the sole provider for her family and to earn some sort of income she performs séances to help her clients get closure from their passed loved ones. She makes money off of scamming people and she uses both her daughters to do it. Personally, I think it's really fucked up to exploit someone's pain and grief to make a few quick bucks. But using her own logic, through deceit she is able to provide some sort of comfort and closure. It does not take too long for Alice to incorporate the po
