Opening a new beauty product is like getting a new toy. Every month I get a whole bag of toys delivered to my mailbox, which means I don’t have to stand in the Target beauty isle lamenting over their lack of inventory (what is UP with that, Target?!) and I get to skip stressing over which choice is going to suit me.

Instead, I get to open a bright pink package with an Ipsy bag inside that is full of products catered to my taste and preferences. Um. YES, please and thank you.

At the end of 2015 I shared my favorite beauty purchases from the year. On that list? Ipsy Glam Bags. Best $10 I spend all month.

I’ve done my research, people, this is the best of all the $10 beauty box subscriptions – delivering relevant, usable products to your mailbox every month, in cute little bags you can really get some use out of.

I haven’t purchased mascara, lipstick, bronzer or a face mask in…well, it’s been longer than I can track. And just two of those products would add up to the cost of the Ipsy bag for the whole year. With the box subscription I get to test out brands I would have never come across, get my beauty needs delivered straight to my door (priceless when you have a baby) and have a cute bag inventory to keep me organized in the chicest way possible.

Unlike other subscription services, Ipsy is sure to cater to your preferences as long as you review the products and let them know what you’d like to see more of. I didn’t want a bag full of perfume samples, so they don’t send them to me.

Right now for a very very limited time (like, there are only hours left) you can skip the waiting list and sign up for your own subscription right away.

I had to wait months till I was able to get on the list for a bag, so take advantage of this deal! You can cancel at any time so if after the first month you don’t think it’s worth $10, so be it.

I have to say, that getting a package of surprises every month is worth the $10. And you spend that much on lunch these days, so skip one lunch and get a bag of luxurious makeup products instead!

Listen, if you want to better your makeup routine and try some things that will freshen up your look, this is the best (and cheapest) way to go.
