Discoveries: January Ipsy Glam Bag

A number of friends have been pushing Ipsy on me for sometime. I finally dipped into the indulgence in January! The monthly subscription includes five on-trend beauty products and small cosmetics bag for a reasonable $10. To boot, each of the products featured offer promos if you shop direct from the company websites. I'm feeling pretty good about my first bundle of offerings. The cosmetics bag is better quality than I expected. I've assigned it to keep my extra razors organized.
