Last summer, as part of adding some fun into my days I subscribed to two monthly boxes.
One of them was a collection of snacks which was fun for a while but ended up not being as tasty for me so we stopped it a few months ago.
The other one was @ipsy which is a makeup sampler set. You get 5 items each month for $12. You can take a survey first so it’s more catered to your skin/hair etc.
I don’t wear makeup often and know nothing about skin care or how to put make up on to be honest. But I’ve still loved getting this little surprise in the mail each month. Because of what I prioritized I have received a lot of moisturizers and great brushes which I had none of. And now I’m slowly building a small stash of lipstick, blush and other things. Looking at this makes me happy which is a lot to say cause I usually hate waste and things that I don’t use but this doesn’t look like waste to me it just looks like possibility which is super fun.
I’ve also just started following them and I love everything this company is about so that’s just a complete added bonus that I hadn’t anticipated.
now I just have to start watching some videos and learn how to use all these products. I love the fact that it’s all small samples so I can use them and then decide if I like them and go all in. This is not an ad. I just put all my stash together today and realized how happy this little thing is still making me.
So here’s to small happinesses today. Finding ways to add a little bit of color and joy to these bleakish days.
Yes to adventures and fun with make up and skin care!
