January REVEAL - Ipsy

SPOILERS, SNEAK PEEKS & MORE!
    


Oh my goodness ::GASP:: what's THIS?! Why....is this IPSY Sneak Peeks?! Yes ma'am, it most certainly is! I am back with the Ipsy Sneak Peeks! Haha, definitely by far one of my most popular posts, I'm excited that I can share it with all of ya'll again!

Let's waste no time, shall we? We'll start with the image that has been up on Ipsy's website for a few days now for the January Glam Bag page...

  

How intriguing is this? I seriously stared at this for sooooo long trying, TRYING to figure out what the theme could possibly be....I do believe I've somewhat figured it out, but allow me to show you how I came to my conclusion....

We have two Ipsy product Sneak Peeks at this time...and here they are!...


JANUARY 2014 GLAM BAG SNEAK PEEK #1


"Fabulous lips, Fabulous life! One of these lip products will give you a reason to have some adventure this new year!" - from Ipsy's Facebook

Based off of the wording, it seems like every subscriber will be receiving one of the products shown above. Well right away the larger product was super easy to identify! It's -

MALIN + GOETZ
MOJITO LIP BALM




EDIT 1/10 - CONFIRMED! These are MicaBeauty's Tinted Lip Balm in the shades I guessed!

As for the other two products, mysterious little jars, I'm convinced they're lip balms, but from what brand....I DO not know. It's practically impossible to know as there are just so many brands that have lip balms in jars such as those. If I do get any inside info, though, I'll share it as soon as possible!

  
A mystery.....

One current guess is that it may be Mica Beauty's Tinted Lip Balm. If so, they do look very similar to the shades Natural and Fiesta possibly....

 Natural



   
Fiesta








JANUARY 2014 GLAM BAG SNEAK PEEK #2


 "So many beautiful horizons ahead! Make your 2014 your mostly beautiful year ever with one of these great products." - from Ipsy's Facebook

We have two different products here, the tube in the middle and the two sticks. Again, based off of the wording, it seems like every subscriber is going to receive one of the above products. Here is the photo edited a bit...

 You can see that the tube in the middle says: yaby

Here is what I believe the Yaby product is!....


YABY
LIQUID FOUNDATION


It is shown above in Ivory, but it is unknown as to what shades are going out in the Ipsy Glam Bags. 

Edit 1/10 - Confirmed by Zadidoll from Zadidoll.com as to what shade is going out! I just looked up the product on Ipsy's website and here is their photo in the shade of Buff -







    
As for the stick products, I believe that they are....

ELIZABETH MOTT
SMOOTH SHADOW CREAMY EYE PENCIL


Elizabeth Mott's It's So Big Volumizing Mascara did, in fact, go out in a previous Glam Bag, and since Ipsy does repeat brands for a few bags, I'm almost positive that this is the product shown above in the Sneak Peek. The wording is even exactly the same on the side. It comes in three colors - Pearl, Penny and Raven, and given the Sneak Peek photo and lack of a jet black lid on the pencils (definite a different contrast to the black pencil stick itself), I'm guessing that those two are Pearl and Penny. 


So have you guessed what the theme might be based off of these photos and hints? I'm guessing that it may possibly be:

HORIZONS!


What do you think?

     Well that's all for now folks! There WILL be more sneak peeks popping up soon, so stay tuned as I'll update this posts again soon!







UPDATE 1/9

Sneak Peek #3? YES! Sneak Peek #3 

JANUARY 2014 GLAM BAG SNEAK PEEK #3
   
 (Click for larger view)

"Gorgeous for 2014, 24/7! From desk to dinner, your lovely look will last with one of these awesome products." - from Ipsy' Facebook

So as you might be able to tell from the picture above, there are five items in this sneak peek. Based off of the wording, it seems that each subscriber will be receiving ONE of following items....

Mystery Item #1 

This brand I definitely recognize! It's....

HEALTHY SEXY HAIR

Based off of the spray cap and design I'm going to guess that it is their Soy Tri-Wheat Leave In Conditioner.






Mystery Item #2


Again, another VERY recognizable item! Its....

 BENEFIT'S POREFESSIONAL



Edit 1/11 - Not that it really needed to be, haha, but it is confirmed as I found it on Ipsy's website -
   


(from ipsy.com)


Mystery Item #3


  
I did some searching based off of the wording on the jar and here's what I found! -


BRIOGEO
DON'T DESPAIR, REPAIR
DEEP CONDITIONING MASK





   


Mystery Item #4



I believe I have this brush in my brush stash! Haha, it appears to be a match for:

COASTAL SCENTS
CLASSIC FOUNDATION SMALL SYNTHETIC BRUSH



Edit 1/10 - this has been confirmed! It has been found on Ipsy's website by the ladies from Makeuptalk.com!





Mystery Item #5



This is THE mystery item of the bunch. I spent HOURS pouring over possible matches but this little bottle of oil or serum seems quite elusive! Hard to say exactly what it may be....it appears to be a possibly hair oil, or face serum. Or maybe even a fragrance spritz. Hmmmmm, what do you think?


Edit 1/10 - The Makeuptalk ladies came through for us! They found this match on Ipsy's website!

PURE MARULA FACIAL OIL

(from ipsy.com)











UPDATE 1/10

Did you want another Sneak Peek today? Haha, well I have one for you, two in fact!


JANUARY 2014 GLAM BAG SNEAK PEEK #4


"The 2014 adventure begins now! Start it off right with two of these picks in your January Glam Bag!" - from Ipsy's Facebook

Woooweeee! There are, let's see...1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11! I think I see 11 products!

Whew....ok...without further ado....let's jump into this! ::DEEP BREATH::


Mystery Item #1



Haha, so let me start with a hard one that took me forever to find and even now I'm not 100% sure this is what it is, however, it looks more like it than anything else I've seen....

CREDENTIALS
SENSITIVE SYSTEM
BISABOLOL NUTRIENT MASQUE


I feel like there's so much more writing on the front of the Sneak Peek picture tube. So I'll keep looking around and seeing if I can find a better match if this is, in fact, not it.





Mystery Item #2


This one was super easy to identify! - 

WILLA
GENTLE CLEANSING LAVENDER TOWELETTES






Mystery Item #3


Just found this product on Ipsy's website! It is...

BALM ME UP
ORGANIC SWEET COCOA & TANGY BODY BALM

(from ipsy.com)





Mystery Item #4



This one took a bit of searching, as you can see it has a pink or peachy front outlined square and the bolded capitol letters in the middle seem to say "FACE" and something ending with an "M"...here's what I found:

NOURISH ORGANICS
FACE/SKIN CARE LINE


Edit 1/10 - the fantastic ladies at Makeuptalk.com confirmed after finding it on Ipsy's website that is is:

NOURISH ORGANICS
LIGHTWEIGHT MOISTURIZING FACE LOTION

 (from ipsy.com)





Mystery Item #5 



It looks like Zadidoll from zadidoll.com figured this one out! It appears to be:

FAITH AROMATHERAPY
TAHITIAN MONOI ANTI-AGING SUGAR SCRUB

(from ipsy.com)

The product is found on Ipsy's website and it does link to the actual brand's website for purchase so that's pretty much confirmation that this will be in a Glam Bag!





Mystery Item #6

 
This item was super easy to identify from the color, name and bottle design!

ALTERNA
CAVIAR ANTI-AGING
DRY SHAMPOO


It is shown above in a deluxe sized bottle, which is also what is shown in the Sneak Peek!





Mystery Item #7


Based off of the spray bottle design and the symbol on the front, I believe this to be one of the following:

APOTHEDERM
BRIGHT SKIN SERUM



or FIRMING SERUM (just confirmed NO)


EDIT 1/10 - Just received an anonymous (thank you whoever you are!) tip in the comments below along with a link to Ipsy's website confirming that it is INDEED the Bright Skin Serum! Here is the photo from Ipsy's website! -





Mystery Item #8



Seriously, these Sneak Peek products have been SUPER hard! The closest thing I could possibly come up with for this was:

ABSOLUTION
SKIN CARE

IMAGE REMOVED, CONFIRMED IT IS NOT ABSOLUTION



 (Image from beingcontent.com)

Once again, this is NOT confirmed, but it appears that the lettering on the sneak peek item ends with "-tion"...the font looks similar, so this is my best guess. Once I know more, I'll update!


 EDIT 1/11 - Allison from Mischief Managed Makeup found it! It is the....

LEEANNI ECO
3 IN 1 REVOLUTION
TONER, SERUM & MOISTURIZING IN ONE!

 (image from ipsy.com)

This is CONFIRMED as it was found on the Ipsy website!







Mystery Item #9



Do you see it hiding back there? Haha! Thank goodness, something I could identify!

SKIIN
SOOTHING AND SMOOTHING EYE CREAM











Mystery Item #10



DEFINITELY a brand I am very familiar with as I used it alot when I was a teenager!

PROACTIV
   

Shown here are the Mark Fading Pads, which appear to be a match for the Sneak Peek item, however, it is possible that it may be cleansing wipes, since those are included in the sneak peek grouping. 

 EDIT 1/11 - I've found the product on Ipsy's website, so it is confirmed!

(from ipsy.com)





Mystery Item #11


SPEAKIIIIING of cleansing wipes, haha, I recognized that bright lime green packaging right away as I've actually reviewed this item from a previous Glossybox!

NICKA K
ABSOLUTE!
MAKEUP CLEANSING TISSUES

(shown here in Vitamin C)

Edit 1/11 - It has been confirmed as to what type of Cleansing Tissues they'll send out...they are:

Cucumber
(from ipsy.com)


or Pomegranate

(from ipsy.com)



and now! I have the FINAL Sneak Peek photo for you!.....

JANUARY 2014 GLAM BAG SNEAK PEEK #5


"2014 is full of reasons to get gorgeous and tote your all-day essentials in your January Glam Bag!" - from Ipsy's Facebook

There it is, ladies and gents! The January Glam Bag itself! 

    
It appears to be a top zipper blue bag with turquoise-green or mint outlined beauty jars, lipsticks, tubes, bottles, etc. along the bottom. I think it's downright ADORABLE. Absolutely perfect for storing samples, foils, etc. You'd definitely know what you're keeping inside of it! Haha!


Another interesting post on Ipsy's Facebook today was this:


"YAY! Your January "19 Reasons" Glam Bags are just starting to leave our warehouse in batches, and we are going to start emailing your tracking codes NEXT WEEK (so no need to worry if you are still waiting). Please stay tuned for your Glam Room coming up very very soon. It will tell you which products you will be getting this month, and will also be filled with awesome deals from all of January's brand partners. Stay tuned and get excited!" - from Ipsy's Facebook

What's intriguing about it is that they said "19 Reasons"! Hmmmm.....well there are actually 20 products shown in the Sneak Peeks, so possibly there are 19 beauty product tube, bottles, jars, etc. on the actual Glam Bag itself??? What do you think?



Well that's all the Sneak Peeks there are for this month! As I've mentioned throughout the post, if I get any updates on products or confirmations I'll be sure to post them here right away!

  2. Does lip balms count as lipsticks or lip glosses?
    What about lip pencils/jumbo lip pencils?
    I never know what to put in my preferences on the ipsy quiz since I don't like either lipgloss or lipstick, but I'm not sure if when I don't mark either I'm opting out of lip balms and lip pencils. Thoughts?

    1. To me a lip balm is separate from both lipsticks and glosses only because balms main purpose is to medicate to an extent. Also, balms could be both pigmented and not, so they really have a category of their own. If I HAD to put them into either a lipstick or gloss category I'd probably go with lipstick, but that's only if I HAD to pick one. Lip Pencils I'd feel comfortable with saying they'd go in the lipstick category since some can be used in place of lipsticks. :-) I hope this helps! Haha, unfortunately I'm not entirely sure how Ipsy separates their products into categories!
