Beware opening jar. Sloshed all over the place. Messy!!!
I had to Google to see if the Earth BoundAzure cream was supposed to be like water. I thot weird in jar no pump.
Current batch issue. Still a great box this month. Hair skin and make up! ❤️
I did not see this one posted yet!
Products:
Guru Nanda Sensitive Whitening Strips (7 sets of 2 strips, FS) Personally I don't use this type of product. I got these in my last box, just not this type. I will be passing them along.
Rael Beauty Miracle Patch day + Night Duo (38 patches, FS) I cannot use these. I found out the very unfun way that I am allergic. I used a hydrocolloid bandage and my skin was very red and blistered afterwards. :( So these will be passed along.
Memoire See You at the Candy Bowl Hair & Body Mist (10 ml, Sample) I could smell this as soon as I opened my box. Perfectly sweet for Halloween. Excited to give this a try! Notes are: Juicy tangerine, lollipop sugar, marshmallow fluff.
Impress Press on Falsies (mini sized) I don't wear false lashes. I am too farsighted so I can't get them on! These will be passed along!
Eva NYC Therapy Session Deep Conditioning Hair Mask (60ml, sample) This looks nice. I don't typically use this type of product, but I have a family member that I think is gonna love this!
CeraVe Anti Dandruff Hydrating Shampoo (1 fl oz, sample) I have ketoconazole shampoo for my dandruff so I don't really use these kinds of shampoos but my roommate does so I will pass it along to him!
Neutrogena Evenly Clear Acne Cleaner (14ml, sample) Bit too strong for my face! I get hormonal acne randomly so... But my roommate gets regular acne and wants to give it a try!
I like the wide array of products included! I appreciate that most of these are actually new to me. Even though I only am keeping one product for myself and I happy to gift the rest to friends and family!
I picked the Reina Rebelde On Your Face Setting Powder in my IPSY selection specifically based on the product description, which calls it a “lightweight, talc-free loose powder.”
Well, I happened to look at the ingredient list afterward.
The very first ingredient is TALC.
Not buried halfway down the list. Not “may contain.” Literally ingredient #1.
I’m pretty pissed because I made my selection based on IPSY’s description. Whether they uploaded an old ingredient list, used an outdated product description, or just posted incorrect information, consumers shouldn’t have to cross-check the marketing copy against the ingredient list to find out that a product advertised as talc-free actually contains talc.
I’m emailing IPSY about it, but wanted to post this here too in case anyone else chose this product specifically because it was advertised as talc-free.
DO BETTER, IPSY!
I was checking out the Dermstore advent calendar and perusing the other Dermstore exclusive offerings, and if you have an account they currently have the Best of Dermstore Anniversary Edit 40% off ($90 down from $150)! It’s an awesome deal for these products if they appeal to you.
They have some of the other “Best of Dermstore” kits discounted too, either 20% or 40% off.
I’m generally not a huge fan of Dermstore because I know their customer service practices have been shady, but they really get me with these deals. Details in comments.

I got my box today (Saturday). Thinking of keeping most of it, and putting the rest out for my coworkers (who love when I bring things in). Tried out the lip product, that's why it's not in the packaging and likes it!
Hi there, I want to gift one to my wife? Which one can you recommend? I'm oblivious to this kind of stuff. Any recommendations?
GuruNanda Neem & Hydroxyapatite Whitening Toothpaste full size
Dove Clinical Care Antiperspirant Stick Cool Essentials trial/travel size
Olly Renew Body Wash Jasmine Bergamot travel size
Kiss Impress Press-On Falsies Eyelash Cluster Kit-Natural
Eucerin Radiant Tone Eye Cream trial size
L’Oréal Big Lift Volumizing Mousse with Collagen Peptides full size
CeraVe Hydrating Anti-Dandruff Shampoo travel size
All of these from Allure beauty box except eye mask.
Grace and Stella eye mask-it’s ok, trying to make myself use these more often to get through them.
Rodial Vit C papaya enzyme scrub. Was a bit drying for my face, started to use it as a body scrub to use it up within 6 months, because of the shelf life for Vit C products in general. WNR
BE face oil. For how oily it was, it didn’t break me out. Used at night. Lasted about 5 months. Might repurchase.
Grown Alchemist daily moisturizer. Was ok, nothing special. Used only in the morning and tube lasted about 6.5-7 months. Had a fragrance which some may not like or react to. WNR
Blake Brown hair mask-Santal scent. This was full size, fairly strong fragrance which luckily went away as I got thru the container and also didn’t last too long once shower was over. This took forever to use up, used it about 2x/week, and lasted me about 6 months. WNR
One full sized item- the whitening strips. Everything else trial sized.
I keep getting ads for this month's fragrance on Instagram, & I'm very tempted. I like putting fragrance in my hair, though, so I tend to not reach for rollerballs.
Charged on 9/23. No tracking number or shipping email sent. Showed up with no notice this afternoon.
Guru Nanda Whitening Strips
Impress false eyelashes
Odele air dry styler
Bubble slam dunk moisturizer
Dove Clinical Deodorant
Cerave anti-dandruff shampoo
Nature well tinted lip butter
Not bad overall. Wish the Bubble was a little bigger.
