Reflecting on Ipsy 2012

Thanks for the list! I subscribe to Ipsy too and seeing everything laid out really puts things in perspective on how much of a good value it is. Not only have I purchased several things I received through MyGlam/Ipsy, but it also pushed me out of my comfort zone a little by including shades I would not normally try. I was a total nude lip and mostly natural eye shadow girl and now I wear bolder lip shades and add a little color sometimes to my eye looks.

Wonderful list. I think I use most of the products I get from ipsy compared to my other subscriptions (birchbox, samplesociety, and beauty army). It's probably cause I'm more inclined to try new makeup rather than hair or skin care products. Ipsy is also a plus cause I use the makeup bags as a good giveaway. I'm planning to save all the bags I get this year to give to coworkers for Christmas and fill them with chocolate.
