Ok, just posted the preview for October on my blog so here's the values of the products sent. I'm not going to bother posting it under a spoiler tag since it's not a secret.

1. Be A Bombshell eyeliner - full size. Retail: $14
2. theBalm What's Your Type mascara - full size. Retail: $19
3. Mirenesse lip bomb - full size. Retail: $35.10 (their club price is $28.08)
4. Coastal Scents - four eye shadows. Retail: $1.99 each ($7.96 total)
5. Couture Colour Hair Treatment. Retail: $12.00 0.5 oz (if the size we're getting is the 0.5 oz then it's $12)
6. Chevron pattern Ipsy Bag. Similar bags retail between $3.50 to $9.95 depending on the store. Not sure if it's a set we're getting or just one.

Total product value: $88.06 approximate not factoring in cost for Ipsy bag.

NOTE: IF the Courture Colour product is the 4 oz as pictured then the product retails for $32 which brings the total product value at $108.06.

Wait..did we confirm that the eyeshadow was coastal scents?  I think they were talking about Yapy eyeshadow on Facebook.  Or do you think that the shadows could be from another brand? 

I know that there are other companies that have dime-size pans like Lancome. (FYI, I'm NOT implying that it's Lancome or even suggesting that they are.  I'm just saying that there are other companies (high end and drug store) that have smaller pans.)

ipsy sent out an email to non-subscribers who made an account showing all of the contents of the bag (kind of as a way to entice people to join i guess? it worked for me).

Thanks for the clarification! 

I missed that in the spoiler alert.

Ok, got an update on the mascara. It is not full size it will be deluxe size. I'll have to rework the numbers now.

This bag... looks... amazing.. oh god I really hope I get my mail this time.. I will be so upset if I don't and I don't feel right sending them ANOTHER email to send me a new one. I checked over my address this time and it should be fine so we will see!

even still I would definitely say its probably worth almost 80 and considering we are paying 10?.. my god this is AMAZING. 

 

[zadidoll]

Yup. It's a fantastic bag this month.

 

[Sept Mbabe]

Agree, this bag looks amazing!!!!  I love lip glosses, especially pinks, so I've been quite happy with Ipsy/MyGlam so far.  And I like getting sample size mascaras; I feel no guilt in tossing after the 3 month period.  I'm crazy about shadows & liners, never can have too much.  And the bag design....Gorgeous...omg!  Need bag now lol

 

[Dalylah]

Woot! So excited for this month's bag!

Looks like I may need to pick up another of those good ol' $1 Elf Quad holders that worked so well for the shadow pan last month!  =)

Based on the picture it's full size. I'm not sure if theBalm would make a travel size (aka sample size) mascara because it typically costs more than it would full size due to the set up for printing and the like. If it's NOT full size and a travel size then it's probably valued at around $9 give or take.

The two full size items are the Eyeliner and the Lip gloss.  The mascara will be the sample size.

I am SO not a lip gloss person, but the nudes on their website are quite beautiful. I may actually try instead of trade if I get a great shade.

I am beyond thrilled with the box this month! Wow I can't wait to get it!

 Don't buy it yet. I think those coastal scent eyeshadows might be the size of a dime instead of the standard Mac / Mirabella / UD / Elf shadows.

All I can say is WOW!! And thanks zadidoll for the lineup /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

They are really small. The size of the shadows in the 88 palettes.

Oh!  Good to know - thanks!  Are they the open pans, or is there a little container, do you know?  (I don't mind small.  It's so rare that I use something up anyway!)

I think the sneak peak included a glimpse of the shadows being placed into a clear plastic container so I would just keep it in the packaging.  But I plan on trying to fit one or two of them into my unii palette.  Actually, you can make a eyeshadow palette like the z-palette or the unii palette by taking an old cd casing  and gluing a sheet of magnet to the bottom.  Then you can stick your eyeshadows into it. Alternatively, you can simply glue the eyeshadows directly to the cd case too.

The girl has a tutorial for how she puts her eyeshadows into a clear CD case. It's after her tutorial with depotting old clinique eye shadows.

Also keep in mind you can pop the inner plastic out of the ELF quad and glue a magnetic sheet to the bottom of that. I have experimented with the CD case and found that the ELF quad works loads better; it's more secure, is a smaller size, and has the built in mirror.
