I wish there was a way to be subscribed to Ipsy strictly for the discount benefits on full-size products you can buy from their "store" bc I honestly don't need to keep getting a little bag of tiny products I'm never going to use each month (especially when they keep raising the cost & not the value). Unfortunately, that means I'll be canceling my subscription next month :p but I love watching your videos! I always appreciate the brutal honesty & the tidbits about the companies themselves/pricing/etc. keep up the awesome work
The Nomad Cosmetics eyeshadows are typically great! I want all of their palettes, lol. It’s so exciting that the adventurous bag actually was adventurous for once! I prefer when you try the products as you go along. 💕
I really like this format! The first video of yours that I watched was an ipsy showdown and even though I don't get ipsy bags anymore, I still love watching the worst gameshow on TH-cam 😊
I think the best part is that Ipsy is notorious for being impossible to cancel, and Alexandria is notorious for forgetting to cancel anything she wants to cancel. So WHY are we here again? We may never know.
My dog does the same thing, eating anything and everything his teeth can get on. People always tell me "if you clean your house there's nothing for him to get" but it doesn't work. He found a mini bottle of bubbles somewhere. No idea where, never had mini bubble bottles in this house and have never seen them here. But here comes the Gizmo, finder of all the things that should not be eaten.
you inspired me to try a whole bunch of subscription boxes! Unfortunately the glossybox never came and Ipsy forgot half of my items 😭 I recommend trying the Walmart beauty box as its $7 and just a wild time!
@@K1k1Cupcake oh my god that’s horrible 😭 I just checked my inbox after multiple inquiries about when I’d be getting my box and the email I got back just said that it’s out of stock??

Hi! Adult with life-long ADHD here! So, our brains tend to function at a faster rate. Not that we are smarter than others, but we make connections faster. Because of that, we often stumble our words or combine them. This is because, in layman terms, our brains are already on another topic while our mouths are catching up!
This has nothing to do with makeup, I’m just so glad that I’m not the only one who just messes up words and keeps going. I adore you for being real about it and not editing it out. Sadly, I’ve also started doing it when I’m writing too lol, I’m not sure how that even happens.
I liked the way you did this video. It's nice to see the product and then get that instant gratification of seeing what it looks like applied. You so rarely have enough make-up to try on at the end, so this probably works better anyway. (And I'm still happy to see that you don't bother swatching things you know you won't like, since you can then donate them.)
Something that I miss sometimes, but not a big deal was when you wore your glasses. As a glasses wearer, it was pretty cool to see. Love your channel! Can’t wait for Christmas!
Loved seeing your pup. I had to put my beloved golden retriever Bear Bear down today. He was 10 but came down suddenly with severe breathing problems two days ago and it was just time to let him go. Rip my dear BearBear.
You know, that Dear Beach blush/lip was absolutely too pink/white when you put it on, but as it warmed up and melted into your lips, it really turned into a lovely pink shade. I hope you have a chance to see that. 😊
I have a Boston Terrier too. He was laying on the back of the couch hanging out while I streamed this video to the tv. He went crazy when Tatter came on. He ran over to the tv and was standing up to get a closer look, then he was searching behind the tv and looking out the window for him. I haven’t seen him do that before. He wants to be friends. Lol
Your videos have become my favourites as it’s exactly how my brain works, reviewing something whilst talking about the most adorable puppy and random thoughts! Seriously love you so much! Thank you for my brain distractions c
When you exchange the letters on the beginning of two words it is called a Spoonerism. Its named after a radio broadcaster. It can be linked to a processing disorder but could be so many things, like your brain moving faster than your mouth. I have dyslexia and ADHD and I do this a lot.
Just from the intro, that green and yellow eyeshadow due reminds me of the loreal h.i.p. duos from years ago. I loved those things and I got into colored eyeshadows with those. I learned a lot about what colors go together. My favorite was actually a dark teal and bright teal duo.
Oh wow! Pink ice from Rue21! The memories that store & fragrance both bring!! Also I 💯 agree that pretty much all of those Catherine Malandrino perfumes smell like Bath and Body body sprays..
i think that ipsy did really good with this one! personally, i like when you do a full make up look with the products, but i can understand if you don’t want to waste product you won’t use otherwise and it not having enough makeup to do so!
Hot tip!! If you still have lipgloss in the tube stick to the sides you can't get to, try putting it in a cup of warm/ hot water!! It'll heat up the gloss enough to slide down to the bottom so you can use it! Learned that from Michelle Phan like 15 years ago and have been using it ever since!
This brought so much joy to my day watching you talk about happy you were about your nail and trying to make dear beach sound lovely and polite. 10/10 🥂
This was a pretty good Ipsy haul! I like the way you did it - trying stuff as you went along. I gety words all tangled too, told someone yesterday that I had Crovid
I like it how you did it this time! It's great to see you excited about the stuff and not wait to try it on, & I think that's what a lot of us do naturally anyway, so I say if you're excited about the item and wanna give it a go, do it! ^_^ Here's to more adventure and fun in our lives! ^_^
If you're in Canada, Purdy's makes Nutty Mac Whites which are almost like Turtles. They're macadamia nuts in caramel and topped with white chocolate. They're AMAZING.
I had to laugh when you were talking about Tator and taking things out of his mouth. I have a German Shepherd puppy named Hank who always has something in his mouth that he shouldn’t! Also, when you mix up words and letters it’s called a spoonerism. One of those things that I heard that stuck in my head. 🤪 It was a bit different for you to put on the makeup as you went along. Something new, why not? You are one of my favorite TH-camrs! Always look forward to your videos! ❤️
They really did do great going by your profiles this month & they were actually pretty decent bags that all seem to have really good retail values. I liked the 2nd bag the most, plus it had the best retail value at $60 (I verified the prices from the companies' respective sites, except I had to math the mascara bcuz the "mini" at Mac is 3x the size for $18...perfume $20, mascara $6, brow pencil $6, lip gloss $18 & they do sell that 1.7oz body cream as a "purse size" for $10 so that was the actual value) 💜
At the grocery store today I saw an older lady (around 65 or so just guessing!) with a tshirt that said "Beach PLEASE" and had a beach picture on it... it made me laugh so much! hahaha
Loved the video and the wide variety of products! I immediately went to look at that National Parks eyeshadow and the $39 is for an entire palette that includes 15 eyeshadows. Price makes a little more sense now.
You finally got me to get a subscription box. I chose Ipsy. In my first box when I was supposed to get five items I only got four! Very first box and they’ve already fucked up. I think they figured out you’re an influencer.
I got the green eyeliner, the perfume, the Mac mascara and the body cream. Then I received a Dr. Brandt eye cream, a wrinkle concentrate, a dual liquid eyeliner with metallic blue and black in my Ipsy Plus.
I admit I was not looking forward to the green and gold eyeshadow but I've worn it twice now and with a primer it lasted 12 hours and is more than 50% intensity at removal.
Wow, I can’t believe this. You are the perfect reviewer for me. I have a whole stack of those pink fat envelope things that I just haven’t opened and I can’t really figure out why. They did listen to me when I said please no hair care products. Kind of.
Oh and I like the try as you go style. Very nice. Your hair looks GREAT! So full! Def can tell it’s getting thicker or the products are helping it appear more fluffy.
Nice! I think I would carry the small cleanser from your skin care bag (that smelled so good)to wash my hands with when im away from home. Plus you will know after a short time how your skin reacts to the xleanser woyhput applying it to your face. If its nice you xan buty some!💕
I dented a toenail one time with a table. It didn’t fall off….immediately. It popped off MONTHS later (with a little stub left), grew back and popped off one more time. So don’t be shocked if it pops off girl.
So amazing. I'm so proud of you. You're so strong and hilarious and I always look forward to your videos. I know and completely understand the mental health pressure and still having to deal with an every day schedule. You're doing fantastic positive vibes and much love Chica ❤.
Miss Ally. Very cute starfish bag. Hi Taters. I really like the packaging on the bluegrass pkwy. The cream has beautiful artwork. Woo-Hoo for not losing the thumb nail. Speaking of grass, haven't heard from Timmy in a while. Have a good night.
Hey guys! I think this is truly the first time Ipsy listened to all of my profiles! What do you think? Let me know your thoughts! Love ya💖

Im glad you liked it! Aww thank you!!
TRY ON IN ORDER OF OPENING CHALLENGE?!
@@brookehildebrant9868 why are you screaming, and posting this on my comment? It probably won’t be seen by anyone but me
I agree, I enjoyed the try as you go approach.
I enjoyed it this way too ❣️
My favorite thing was that Alexandria said, "We're totally cancelling these subscription boxes," but here we are 😂

It dosent happen often but its exciting when it does!!
These are actually distinctly different bags
That's impressive that you could go yes this is this bag
Well done Ipsy
I like this try as you go format. It's nice to see IPSY actually match the products to the different subscription types.
Im glad you like it! It really is a nice change!
I watch your videos when I’m getting ready for my overnight shift as a nurse. Your happy bouncy energy help me get pumped up for my shift
Your work as a nurse is very appreciated! I hope you have a good shift tonight ✨🌈
Whatever you are using is definitely giving you that dewy, glowy look you were saying you wanted! You look beautiful 😍
Aww you're too sweet thank you!
Don't worry, Alexandra! It's not dire until your swimming through the ipsy bags like Scrooge McDuck.
Thanks auto-correct! I meant Alexandria. 🤣
you inspired me to try a whole bunch of subscription boxes! Unfortunately the glossybox never came and Ipsy forgot half of my items 😭 I recommend trying the Walmart beauty box as its $7 and just a wild time!

Seriously, that is the best bag match ever.
Hot tip!! If you still have lipgloss in the tube stick to the sides you can't get to, try putting it in a cup of warm/ hot water!! It'll heat up the gloss enough to slide down to the bottom so you can use it! Learned that from Michelle Phan like 15 years ago and have been using it ever since!

The combo of that pink lip cream and gloss looks super pretty on you. Great video!
Your hair looks so much fuller and so beautiful in a darker color. In the future maybe some highlights for depth but I like it
I love the new mascara. I bought it after seeing a few beauty gurus try it and it builds and makes my lashes so pretty!!
I really liked how you did the little try-ons throughout today. It really flowed well and gave a good impression of the products. Well done!

Trying the products as you go is far more enjoyable for me. Tater is such a cutie
I love your whole vibe in this video! Idk what it is, you’re so happy and glowy 🥰 I love the try ons as you open the bags! It flows very well
The adventures bag nomad shadow is expensive because it’s for an entire eyeshadow palette. The formula and palette is beautiful and amazing quality
Your regular bag was the same as mine. That gloss is cute but getting that applicator out and bank in is a pain. Love that your bandaid worked. 😄

Pyewnkong yool (best way I can put it) its Korean skincare. Really good and can be expansive depending on what you buy.
