August 2014 Ipsy Subscription Review

Ipsy is a makeup monthly subscription bag for $10. Every month Ipsy sends its subscribers a small makeup bag along with four to five full and sample products that match your preferences. These preferences are different for every person, since you have to complete a survey at the beginning of the process to personalize your Ipsy bags. For example you can choose to mark as favorites eye shadows and facial masks, while leaving off lipsticks and mascaras. Of course this does not mean that you will never get these products, but instead  Ipsy will try to provide you with the product you prefer and sometimes introduce you to products that you thought you would never like, but end up liking (like me).

Also after sending their monthly bags, Ipsy provides their subscribers with special discount coupons for the products of the month!

So in the following images, I will show you each product I have, along with its retail price, and calculated price (if the product I received was sample sized).

Beautiful eye shadow, I loved it!

So overall, the bag I received for the month of August was pretty good. It has the value of around 30 dlls, compared to the $10 I had to pay. I say it was totally worth the try, and I think that you should definitely give it a try. Besides, if you don't like it, you can cancel your subscription, or 'pause' it so that you don't have to get it each month.

How To Be Unique

Millions of people are doing the same things you always do. They are breathing, listening to the music you like, shopping at the same stores, chatting with friends, etc. So how could you ever feel any different from all of those people?

Well first of all you have to realize that it is nearly impossible to be the only one in the world to be doing something. But just because this is impossible, doesn't mean that you are like everybody else. There are many things that make you very unique such as your likes and dislikes, your friends, your way of talking and thinking, and especially your genes (lol). But if you feel as if you were falling into the doom of a cliche lifestyle, just read a little more and you will know how to become a little bit more unique than yesterday.

The easiest way to become a little bit more different than everybody else is to break out of your comfort zone and try new things! Here are some examples that I came up with:

1. Start a new hobby

-photography

-collect stuff

-cook

-sing and dance

2. Dress up like you want to dress up.

    Don't be shy, everyone has their inner weird fashion waiting to come out.

3. Make your own clothes

    For me, making my own clothes has been very fun and rewarding; I have created pieces that I love and have worn many times. This obviously takes time an practice to perfect, but it's totally worth it.

4. Play with different colors and shades of makeup

    Try: Limecrime.com, EyeCandyCosmetics.com, UrbanOutfitters.com, MacCosmetics.com

5. Dye Your Hair

    Red Hair: hereeee

    Purple Hair Inspo: click here!

    Blue Hair Inspo: click heree

    Ombre: click here for inspiration

6. Learn a new language

7. Lick Your Elbow

   C'mon try it...

Okay so I ran out of ideas, but you get me, just try new things and don't be afraid to do so. Just be yourself and don't be scared to do what you want to do because you may end up regretting it. Just free yourself from... well yourself because sometimes we tend to be the only ones holding ourselves back from doing things. 

Hope you found this helpful and inspirational, please comment down below what you have done or plan to do to become more unique! Thank you for reading. Also if you have any blog post ideas that you would like me to write about, feel free to comment down below. Thank you!
