Yup, an Ipsy mystery bag subscriber here. Also, I refuse to call it Ipsy Original, it was fine being called Glam Bag and Glam Bag it will forever remain for me.
This is my first post about my Ipsy bags here, but I've been a subscriber since May 2025 and only skipped the June 2025 bag. At first I thought to make a post when the bag arrives, but I guess I got impatient lol. I had bags that were both hits and misses, and unfortunately, this one is more of the latter.
My favourite part of the bag is definitely the bag itself. It's so cute and satin and crystal-like, looks very sophisticated, save for the blue zipper lol, but I'm not too mad at the zipper!
Second fave is Tatcha serum, which I chose for the bag myself (for Glam Bag, Ipsy lets you choose 1 product and you will be guaranteed to receive it). Huge point of contention I see online is the bottle being only 5 ml of product, but let's get real, Tatcha is that girl when it comes to skincare, and prices reflect that. Full-size product is $80+tax for 30 ml, and this whole bag is $15+tax (so around $17 here in Cali) so this is a win!
I'm not familiar with glazing milks (I know they're a big thing in Rhode, but I never cared for it), but I'm a dedicated skincare user and am always down to try new skincare, which puts Earth Harbor Naturals at the 3rd fave in this bag.
The makeup now... I guess the thing I mind the least in this bag is the blush. I like blush of all different colours, and corals actually look better than pinks on my warm-undertoned skin, so that blush will get some use for sure.
Then the brow juice, and a tubing one on top of that, lol. At least it's transparent (from the look of it), but as a gyaru, last thing I need is pronounced eyebrows, and I have some pretty dark and pronounced ones naturally! I guess I can try it... just as something different, sometimes.
Finally, the lip plumping pen. A clear one, too! Idk what I'm gonna do with it... I only use clear lip balm around the house, and other than that, all my lippies have some colour to them. This is such a miss it's actually sad. I'm down to go into it with an open mind and try it, but I defo don't expect it to become the lippie I reach for with enthusiasm.
And that's my Ipsy January 2026 Glam Bag report no one asked for, lol. I may put together another post, with previous bags and what I got in those.
