Ipsy June 2013 Review – Monthly Makeup Subscription Service

I’m with you on May still being my favorite bag. I just really hated this bag this month. I felt like they needed to put a warning in the bag about the body glitter because when I see palettes like that, I instantly think they’re eye shadow. That’s definitely the most childish thing I’ve ever received from them. Everything else is kinda eh. I LOVE the bag though!

Ugh. I cancelled my subscription less than an hour after receiving my bag. Everything was essentially the opposite of what my profile says I prefer. Body glitter? My profile says my style is Simple and Natural. Peach blush? Not unless I like the jaundice look. Taupe lip liner? I’ll save it for the next time I dress up as a zombie.

Sure, it was $10, but there’s nothing more of a letdown than getting off the waitlist, receiving the package 2 weeks after it shipped, and discovering that nothing is usable. I emailed them to ask to send it back for a refund, since they clearly don’t tell the truth that they “personalize” the selections, but the response had NOTHING to do with my email, which proves they don’t read anything. I also noted that on their June bag message board, they wrote the same three comments on every post to which they respond.

Sort of one-size-fits all, like the bags.

I got almost the EXACT same bag as you for the SECOND month in a row, lol. We must have given similar quiz answers. I did however get a powder blush in Desert Rose, which is WAY too pink for me! I love my bag otherwise 🙂

I just need to say it in all caps: I’M SO JEALOUS OF THE PEOPLE WHO GOT CAILYN EYELINER! I tried the Chocolate Espresso when I got it in my Blush box and then promptly ordered it in a plum color. But dang, it’s expensive (for me). It’s cool to see it’s 30% off on Ipsy right now though.

Instead of eyeliner, I got, drumroll please, a travel-sized sample of DRY SHAMPOO! Seriously? That DOES NOT EVEN COMPARE! I now have enough dry shampoo to go around and spray-wash everybody’s hair! Not that I’m complaining (well, I guess I am a little), but enough with the dry shampoo already.

I was so excited when I looked down in my bag and saw what looked like an eyeshadow palette, only to be like, “Happy Halloween?” when I took it out. Mine are bronze and gold tones. I do think I’m going to have fun with them, though.

I also got the mosaic NYX blush. Love.

TBH, despite all my b*tching, I really loved this bag this month. Everything in it was an awesome size. I will continue to be passionately in love with Ipsy. I just wish they didn’t “customize” the bags now. What is it about my profile that makes them think I have greasy, unwashed hair?? LOL I might email them and ask them.

Thanks for letting me vent! 😀

The blush I received was the mosaic blush – everything else was the same as your items. I’m a little surprised with the glitter “eyeshadow” – I may need to experiment with it under some regular eyeshadow or something. This is my second Ipsy bag and overall, I’m VERY happy with them!! I also received my Target Beauty Box and Kona Kase today!! 😉

Just wanted to let everyone know that the glitter is *not* eyeshadow – Ipsy posted something about it on their fb page. I guess it’s “body glitter”? Seems like something I’d shove in the back of my makeup drawer and pull out for Halloween!

Even though it is only $10 which is super reasonable…glitter eye shadow and false eyelashes?? for a ‘mature’ woman?? Ipsy needs to read the profiles they ask for from each of us!!

Kind of a mixed bag for me. I know the theme is “wild side” but that glitter eye shadow is hideous. I can’t imagine anyone over the age of 16 wearing it – so it’s going to my nieces who are 13 and 15 🙂 My eyeliner is a very pretty purple, which will work for me. I got the powder blush in a nice shade of pink. I never wear lip liner, but this one is a very nice color so I’m going to give it a try. Not sure what to do with the highlighter pencil, but I’ll give it a try too. Really for $10 it’s still worth it. I still can’t get over the eyeshadow though – that’s so screams “teenager” I can’t believe they approved it.

I love that you get your boxes before me so I know what to expect!!! Liked this bag but loved loved loved the actual bag itself!!!

I love Ipsy, I also got my conscious box today, my pop sugar box and my Stitch Fix box. I have to say I’m loving everything and the Stitch Fix was more then I could hope for. Very pleased with them

This bag looks amazing! I’m bummed because I’m still on the ipsy wait list.

I got the exact same bag except I got a mosaic blush instead of cream. Ipsy really hit it out of the park for me this month! The Birchbox I received today on the other hand….UGH!

I’m so jealous of your bag! I wish I got the eyeliner instead of the stupid lip pencil!

I Just got mine today and was so Happy! But instead of the eyeliner I got the Dry Shampoo.. Since you already have 3 can we trade.. hehe 🙂

I wish I got the highlighter pencil. I haven’t received my bag yet, but on my glam room it shows the fake eyelashes. Between the body glitter and fake eyelashes, I’m rolling my eyes. My profile says Natural and Professional, so I don’t think they’re even looking at it.

You got the bag I wanted! I received the hot pink cream blush, wishing I had received a bronzed or mosaic. I received the Tipsy pencil that is too coral for my olive skin. Pale or Bare would have been perfect. I received the Plum liner having preferred the Iron color. I was really wishing to get the highlighter pencil instead the dry shampoo. I love highlighter pencils. I wanted that so bad. Somehow I feel my bio was ignored. I feel $10 is still a bargain nonetheless. I like Ipsy just these colors are so off for me. I will swap anyone who would have preferred my colors.

even if the cream blush doesnt work for you, it would make a beautiful eyeshadow base!
