For the average 20 - 30 something year old woman, the beauty products that we want are usually way too expensive or cannot be found in Canada - I find the latter a lot more common, now that I've gotten into doing my nails more. We see these pins on Pinterests, posts on Instagram, and read blogs all over the internet raving about this great new foundation or mascara, or the latest nail polish colour, but wait ! for us Canadian's, it's sometimes almost impossible to get these products.
Along comes ipsy.com - a beauty site, that offers products geared towards who YOU are. Free to sign up, you simply fill out your profile, answer some questions, and their beauty experts match products based on your answer. Now here's the best part - with a simple payment of $10 a month (for us Canadian's I believe the total comes to about $16, including shipping), you will get a Glam Bag sent to your house with beauty products that have been selected for you !
Now, before you stop reading here and think that the products are just castoffs from overstock or are products that no other store wanted, they are not. Some products, you will get a 'trial size' version, probably because the product would cost a lot more than your monthly subscriptions of $10 to send.
Each Glam bag comes with four or five beauty products or tools, and a different makeup bag each month. So, aside from being overwhelmed by makeup bags, it's all in all a great monthly deal.

| December's Glam Bag included POP party eyeshadow, Julie G textured nail polish, Lip Liner, Bombshell Blush Stick, and a makeup brush |
 |
| January's Glam Bag included: Dry Conditioner, Facial Wipes, Face Brightener Serum, Lip Chap and a creamy eyeshadow pen. |
Again, coming to the point, that every month it is something new and different. Another great aspect of Ipsy, is that once you have registered, you are given your own personal link to your account. Through this link, you are able to see your past Glam Bags, what may be offered for the next months, as well as tracking points you receive. Every time you rate your Glam bag, share it on social media, or someone signs up with Ipsy through your link, you gain points. These points then allow you to purchase additional beauty products not included in your Glam Bags.
All in all, Ipsy is a great way for young women to try products they normally wouldn't use. The best part is that when you get your girlfriends involved, there is a chance they will receive a Glam Bag different from your own. If you aren't a fan of something in your bag and vice versa, swapping opportunities are always available !
