Worth the Hype

There are many things that are hyped up but aren't worth it. In my opinion, these are perfect examples of things that are not worth the 'hype'.

- Sneaker wedges.

- Crocs.

- Magnetic nail polish. 

- Justin Bieber.

- Chacos.

- Guys in jorts. (Oh no.)

But do you know what is? Monthly beauty subscriptions.

I had heard about different beauty subscriptions such as Birchbox, Julep, Glossybox, etc but I didn't bite the bullet until the 'Glam Bag' was created. The Glam Bag is by Ipsy, formerly known as MyGlam. It was created by Michelle Phan aka the most famous Youtube guru...ever. I am absolutely obsessed with makeup gurus on Youtube, and have been watching Michelle Phan since I was in high school. When she announced that she was creating a monthly beauty subscription service with other Youtubers, I just had to join. I pay $10/month and get personalized beauty products ranging from makeup to hair and skincare products. On top of that, they send great offers and coupon codes that can be redeemed online. 

I've been subscribed since the very first Glam Bag, and let me tell you - I don't regret it one bit. The products are always worth so much more than $10.

This is last month's bag. I received Sexy Hair's Spray Clay, Coastal Scents BR-C-B02 eyeshadow brush, Bella Terra Mineral Shimmer, Nourish Organic Coconut & Argan Body Lotion, and a Zoya nail polish in 'Neve'. I've tried them all and they're all great products! Also note: this subscription helps me find brands I now use daily that I wouldn't know about otherwise. Of course, Ipsy's Glam Bag is only one of many different monthly beauty subscriptions. If I wasn't on a #biddiebudget, I would definitely subscribe to a ton of them! Becoming a Julep Maven is next on my list.

Earlier today, I got the e-mail notifying me that this month's Glam Bag is on its way and I can't wait.
