IPSY BAG - MAY 2013

So thanks to one of the lovely YtubeTTCers, I subscribed to IPSY.com :)  When you subscribe you receive a cool make up bag filled with goodies!!!  I watched her videos on the unboxing of the bag so i thought id give it a try.

I ordered on May 16, 2013 and received my first bag on May 25, 2013.  Now apparently subscriptions are mailed out on the 15th of each month so mine likely didn't get shipped till a few days after i signed up!  The cost of the bag is $10/month and shipping is free in the USA.  Since I'm in Canada i paid a small shipping fee no more then $4.  So my total was approx $14. 

Here is what i got in the mail: a hot pink package :D very pretty!

 At first look in the bag i see all of the May goodies - As a side note u get 5-6 items per bag, some are sample size some are full size.  You do a quiz when you sign up with IPSY and they determine which items best suite you!  


________________________________________________________________________________
FIRST ITEM: Zoya Nail Polish -In GIE GIE pink # ZP651
This Item retails for $8 on their website and comes in a zillion colours!  I got pink in my bag and ill definitely use this colour.  Its a nice feminine pink that would look nice on finger or toes nails!  Comes in a pretty box as well :)  I received a full size product!

ITEM 2: St.Tropez Instant glow body lotion (washable tanner).

This item retails for $15 on their website and they have other options to chose from as well as other types of tanners.  When you open it up the lotion looks a very dark brown.   Don't be scared by this cause it actually goes on very sheer.  We all know I like to be brown so ill definitely use this!!  They have larger sizes available so i assume this is a sample size however it seems like you get a fair bit in the sample.

ITEM 3: Macadamia Healing oil Treatment for hair
This item retails for $13.50 and is one of many sizes the website offers (therefore can be seen as full size product).  They range from $6 to $75 for the largest bottle. It smells great however I've never used this kind of oil before.  It says it can be used as a finisher however if i dont use it, it may be in a giveaway in the future :)

ITEM 4: JUICE Beauty Lipgloss in  Champagne #1J3
This items retails for $15!!!  This is by far my favourite item!  Its dead on, the kind of product i buy and even in a colour id typically get.  It looks amazing over a super light pink! AHHH i love this <3 <3  This is a full size product!


____________________________________________________________________________
ITEM 5: YABY Concealer in buff #cc008
This item retails for $4.95 and can be bought as a full size refill.  I'm very lucky cause this is pretty damn close to my colour so ill actually be able to use it! YAY!




So there you have it, MAY 2013 IPSY bag :)  I paid $14 and got a bag worth more then $56.35 (and that's not including the cost of the bag itself!  This was definitely worth the cost i paid and if you like make-up then its totally worth it!  Might I add that most of these products were natural/organic :)

Totally psyched for the June BAG.  If  you want to subscribe please use my link so i can get some IPSY points!!

TTC, cycle 18, metformin = fail

ughh well here we go into cycle 18

Can you all believe that for 18 cycles i haven't had ANY pregnancies?  This infertility stuff isn't so exciting.   If anything, its as horrible as it looks in movies.  I'm starting to wonder if ill even be able to get pregnant.... maybe ill have to do IUI/IVF.... grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr its so frustrating!

My metformin isnt going so well either.  I feel sick all the time if i don't eat.   I'm wondering if the pills are even working.  it should work something like this:

higher then normal glucose > high insulin levels > take pill > lower insulin > good ovulation

but to me it looks something like this:

higher then normal glucose > high insulin levels > take pill > eat! > sugar increases even more> ????


I'm so ready to try something new.  I have my next appointment with the doctor on June 20.   It feels so damn far away!!!!!!  :(


In other new my two best friends both had their babies.  Spring had her little boy last Saturday, she names him Liam.  My BFF had her little girls on Sunday and names her Kaniya!   I was there with her from Friday -Sunday.  Spend a million hours at the hospital sitting around.  She had 2 rounds of the gel to ripen her cervix with 2 fails :(  She finally got going into labour on Sunday!   And she used her superhuman powers to push that baby out with 3 rounds of pushes.  It was AMAZING to see.  That little girls is just so sweet i wanna steal her <3 <3  

Its so strange that i was TTCing way before them, they both have went through pregnancies and births in that time.  So NOT fair :(   I'm glad they have her bebes but i just cant wait for my turn :( I guess I'm just being a sore loser :( wahhh
