Has anyone tried Ipsy? According to their site (ipsy.com), you can sign up for $10 a month and each month they send you a few recommended products to try. I don't remember if you get trial sizes or full sizes but it comes in a really cute little makeup bag and from what I understand, the items are tailored to you based on a short quiz you take when signing up (asking, like, your skin tone, or what products you love, or what brands you like, etc..etc..)

So yeah, I was just wondering if any of you have tried it.

In a way, it kind of takes a little bit of stress out if you're not full-time yet, either, because the makeup comes to you instead of you having to go to the store to buy it (I know what it felt like to do that in boy-mode and how stressful it could be).

Also...yay makeup! :D

I hope it's fun and neato. I guess I'll find out next month...

Hey Lizzie! When I first came out to my daughter that was one of her suggestions to me ( after the initial adjustment). So your mention of it takes me back to that moment when I realized she does still love me! I am interested in trying it, so I will be reading the replies. My daughter said " it's really nice to get some fun things each month, like a present to yourself"!

Safe travels!

Jamie

Well, my January bag is sitting at home waiting for me, and I think by the time I do get home, February's bag will be waiting at home, too. Through the ipsy website I've been able to see what is in my bag, I just can't wait to get home to actually try some of these products out.

(then from what I understand, to better customize your monthly bag they ask you to rate/review what you've received in each bag so I have that to do either when I'm home or shortly after I leave back out on the road again)

Here's a pic of what my January bag contained:

That bag looks very lady trucker to me! Fun!

And the bags change every month, too! I really wanted December's bag because it looked super cute, but oh well.

Now that looks like fun!!!

Do they give you tips too?

Goodness knows I could use a whole lot of tips :wacko:

Not really. They do have a few girls who post how-to videos for certain looks and stuff. The way some of these ladies do eyeshadow is incredible!

I am an Ipsy subscriber and I love getting the little samples and a new bag to try each month.

What's really nifty is that a couple items each month are full-size products and if you search online you find out...they're not exactly cheap!

Plus...cute little versatile bags that can be used for stuff other than makeup! :D

February's Ipsy bag!

ca240a6a-c436-4137-8a16-e7d4bf30a002_zps

This month was a much cuter bag! Inside...um..well,

There's an eyelash curler that I most likely won't use because I already have one I don't use.

Next is a Volumizing Spray I won't use because my hair has no problem with volume naturally.

After that is some kind of radiance oil that can be used alone or under moisturizer. I'm not quite sure what it does. I've tried it a few times and haven't really noticed anything different?

Next to that is a lip gloss two of my friends cannot stand, so I'm probably not going to touch that one.

Lastly is a blush that is identical to the NARS blush I already have, but it doesn't have the shimmer that NARS has, it's more of a matte blush. It's okay but I prefer a little shimmer on my cheeks in the blush department.

..but the bag is cute! :)

      OK Governor Signs School Bathroom Bill Into Law

      By KatieSC · Posted

      So, I am curious. Is the Governor going to mandate vaginal or penile recognition photos before one enters the restroom? Considering the Governor has no balls to do the right thing, will he have to pee against a tree outside? Inquiring minds would like to know. I love it when the job recruiters contact me about the wonderful jobs available in Oklahoma. It is so much fun telling them there is no way I will ever go to Oklahoma. When there are no workers, then they can shutter the place.

      If you could talk for 1 hour about any topic without preparation, what would it be?

      By Jet McCartney · Posted

      Ngl, probably Sonic the Hedgehog, the Beatles, or the Monkees. Those are the three subjects I know the most about so I could drop hours of info on them.

      It's nice to care about others but you need to live your life as you please. No one be your only source of happiness. Love yourself and don't look back. I lost over 40 family members it hurts but apparently, they didn't truly love me. True love will always be there through the thick and thin. I can honestly say that HRT has made me think in ways that I never thought I would. I get myself some shoes or clothes every month because retail therapy not only helps but it is a reward to myself to show love. I have over 100 dresses. I have a whole walk-in-closet full of clothes and 67 pairs of shoes. I love who I am. I was born in 84 so not all people in the 80's think that way. As far as the name just take your time and be happy with it. I knew I loved the name Ashley. Take care and welcome!

      WOW @Ashley0616 it’s good that you have skills to treat traumatic injuries, as well as the ability to remain calm while managing others needs to get yourself and the boys ready to go to the hospital. Proud mama bear skills. I’m glad that he’s doing well.    Meanwhile back at the ranch, we slept in and I’m just now finishing my 3rd cup of coffee.    Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend.   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      Well yesterday was not fun. I was getting ready to make dinner and I hear screaming and crying. I look over and my son put his foot through glass. He gashed near his Achilles tendon. Thankfully that is intact. I didn't freeze for a second. All of my military training came into play. I doctored him up and got Jett ready and myself and we headed to the ER. He is doing ok today. He says he is in pain but doesn't need Tylenol. He is a tough cookie!

      Hi,   It's seems today is my trans birthday.  I'm beyond excited. Just picked up my testogel from the pharmacy. Although I naturally have doubts as I'm sure do we all, they are rapidly disappearing. Yesterday I was so nervous I kept claiming I'm not trans, despite grinning like a fool knowing I can pick up my prescription the next day. I'm shaking and on the verge of happy tears. I will put on my first sachet this eve. Thanks so much to this forum and kind words from people. This is the first forum I found when I began seriously questioning.

      Project 2025

      By awkward-yet-sweet · Posted

      While the Soviet Union did not end up being the source of all evil, I believe that history has shown that Joe McCarthy generally was right. There ARE all kinds of Marxists slithering around. And if that had been dealt with firmly 75 years ago (or more) the nation wouldn't be in the shape that it's in now.    And while I generally oppose the idea of intervening in foreign affairs, the world probably would have been better off if we had taken care of issues in Russia and defeated the Bolshevik Menace back in 1919. God bless the memory of Admiral Kolchak.   Getting back to project 2025, my belief is that Republican efforts are inappropriately focused on trans folks. A minority of a minority does not wreck a nation. But it is easier to focus on trans folks because they can look like they're doing something. They don't have to address the real problems, and really they don't want to address them because they would have to address themselves.  They would also need to admit that the 50 State version of the USA cannot be saved.
