Has anyone tried Ipsy?

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!

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! :)

      Them's fighting words, but I intend to discuss this respectfully, calmly and so forth, in accordance with the forum rules.   Considering the one issue below in isolation:   There is a political calculus that trans folk may be better off under Trump than under Biden.  The argument goes that Biden has created such a backlash by moving so far to the left that red states, in particular, are reacting with a swarm of laws that negatively impact trans folk.  Some of his actions strike many people as clumsily forcing unwanted regulation on people, and some of his appointments, such as the luggage stealing bigender individual, have not helped advance trans folk but rather the reverse.  In a second term Biden would make things worse for trans folk because of the backlash and resentment his policies would create.    Trump likely would have negative impacts to trans folk, as he did in his first term with respect to the military, so it is a set of tradeoffs as to which is worse.   Thoughts?

      Can you dress androgynously?

      There are trans folk who pass better than some cis people.  People usually aren't on the lookout for those who are cross dressed.  As long as there are no multiple screaming signals and you don't draw attention to yourself you can probably pass better than you think. For example, if you walk into a bank in heels, however, and you DON'T know how to walk in heels, you will attract the attention of a security guard, especially if you are acting nervous. If you wear flats and just go to the bank and do your business like anyone else, it is likely no one will notice, except that there was a customer who was taller than most women are, but then there are tall women, and tall, broad shouldered woman.  I made the mistake years ago of thinking I had outed such, and knew she was a he.  Later I learned she had five kids, and her husband was bigger than she was.  Ooops.

      I don't know much about CNAs.  They report to an RN, right?  Can you somehow bring this up to the RN in a way that does not get your CNA mad at you? I'm not saying you should, but maybe that is a good course of action.
    • Abigail Genevieve
      This is the thing.  A month ago tomorrow is when I stopped wearing m clothing.  Today I feel great.  I do not have dysphoria when I am dressed as and I move as a woman.  I was just thinking about that because I was wondering if I would or will get hit with a wave of "you don't have dysphoria so you might as well dress like a guy. Less hassle with your wife."  Not that she is aware, to my knowledge, that these androgynous clothes are women's.  No desire to "flip", no feeling of need to, just happy identifying as female.  Speaking, in my deep guy voice, with female voice patterns, doing the feminine gestures that come naturally and without exaggeration and at peace.

      Yes, my brother was born lactating due to absorbing hormones from my mum.    Of course she isn't a nurse, she is a CNA. She should however still have general medical knowledge.

      I agree.  But sometimes unethical conduct must still be legal, because the cure would be worse than the disease.  One problem we have today with the internet is the trolls can gang up on someone and destroy them - we see the with school bullying as well.   He was in the Southern Baptist Convention, and maybe he should have moved his church over to say the American Baptists, who might have been able to help him. A Southern Baptist pastor is king in his church, peerless, which means he could not have gone for help in his church.  And he could not have gone for help from any other pastor in the SBC because they likely affirm the SBC statements on these matters.  I think he was stuck.    I read this when it came out in the news.  Very sad situation.

      One organization that I know of that is dedicated to assisting LGBT seniors is SAGE.  They advocate for, and have services for, all LGBT folks, not just trans folk.  You can find their website Here.  I am not sure what, if anything, they have in terms of financial assistance.  I'll let you know if I find anything else.   Carolyn Marie

      This was an angle that I was very suspicious of as well, and may be the hook on which the settlement was hung.      Not at all strange especially if they had former patients who moved there that still owed money on their bills or they were buying hospital supplies from a Texas corporation. They may have business licenses in other states as well.  Small loss, but saxeT shot itself in the foot there since the license was a source of income to the state.

      Nah it's fine, I'm past the point of really blaming them most of the time. I've gotten used to it, and they could be a whole lot worse.   I'm glad you have a good place, though <3

      I wonder about the professional knowledge level here.  Men have milk ducts.  She, as a nurse, should know this.  This is interesting  https://www.livescience.com/45732-can-men-lactate.html  Yes, men can lactate and have lactated, trans or cis.  The idea that Birdie does not have milk ducts or tissue is just plain wrong.  Her statement indicates that she has not looked at the medical record, which she should be familiar with to treat the patient.

      Trans women can lactate under the right conditions. But that's not even the case in your situation.  It's so stupid how they simply refuse to accept your reality.
