Ugh, I have been getting Ipsy for almost 2 years now, and its always a hit or miss for me. I got to see my bag the other day (its still out for delivery) and I wasn’t happy with it. Everytime I see a sneak peek from them, the site shows me a bunch of different things that will be in the current month’s glambag. I always see stuff that I really want to try out and get super excited, but when I receive my bag I never get the samples that I want, or I will get something that I really like but the shade is no good. If my October bag is anything like my September bag then I think that Im gonna cancel my membership.

Same old ugly lippie and yer another mascara. Im cancelling this bag. Ill keep my sephora play and birchbox. Way better quality of stuff

Vanessa

The bag design I feel isn’t that bad and usually the bag ends up looking better in person imo. Love the items in my bag this month and soooo glad I’m not getting another eyeliner lol. In my September bag I’ll be getting:

IT Cosmetics Superhero Mascara
ToGoSpa Eye Gels
Trust Fund Beauty nail polish
Onomie Priming Serum
Living Proof Perfect Hair Day

Do u think i could still get a glam bag for this month or am I late because I am a new customer just signed up today.

cady

This is my first month that i will be receiving an Ipsy bag, and I already am so underwhelmed.
Before today, I was excited! But I got the email showing me what I will be receiving, and it’s making me re-consider my subscription. I’m getting nail polish in fuschia which I am so not into, a BB cream which is really not exciting, an angle brush which I have a thousand of (I would have been ok with receiving the eyeshadow one) , a conditioning mask for my hair (that’s ok i GUESS), and the tarte mascara – probably the only slightly thrilling thing I will receive.
*sigh*
Also subscribed to Sephora Play, if I’m not happy with their box this month (also my first one), I’m cancelling both and switching to Boxycharm which I probably should have just subscribed to in the first place.

Cady,

Since this is just your first bag, don’t get discouraged. As you review your products, it should get better. As another subscriber suggested, if you like something but don’t want to receive that type of product again, rate it low. And you can always swap items you don’t want for items you do.

cady

You’re right, I’m just being dramatic because I was so excited originally to receive a bag. I think I’ll give it til December 🙂

Victoria

Previously, I wrote that I was disappointed with this Ipsy bag but then I found out what I was getting in my bag and now I’m very excited.

Eau Thermale Avene: Hydrating Optimale Hydrating Serum (Didn’t really want.)
Crown Brush: Ombre Angle Brush(I wanted this!!!)
Befine Exfoliating Cleanser(I wasn’t hoping for it, but willing to try)
Trust Fund Beauty Nail Polish in Champagne Socialite(The number 1 thing that I wanted!!!)
Tarte Cosmetics: Tartiest Lash Paint Mascara (Also something I wanted)

I previously commented that I was kind of disappointed in this months line up, and nothing really excited me. However, I checked on my bag this morning. I am getting:

Eye Do Liquid Eyeliner in Black

IT Cosmetics
Superhero™ Mascara in Super Black

Crown Brush
Ombre Angle Brush

Rodial
Dragon’s Blood Hyaluronic Tonic (Super excited, since I have been wanting to try a makeup setting spray for a while)

Briogeo
Don’t Despair, Repair! Deep Conditioning Mask

I guess I was too quick to judge. I can’t wait to get my bag!!

Bag twin! I’m really happy too. Would have preferred something other than mascara but it will get used eventually! 🙂

Katie

Forgot to add. I just ordered a contour kit, and the brush will be perfect for it! I may have to return my expensive brush that I ordered from Ulta to go with it, if this one works good!

Katie

Me too. But I love the small mascaras to keep in my purse makeup bag for a quick touch up!! I would have rather had the TOOFaced Lip Injection, but, you can’t win them all, and I am excited already 🙂

I’m hoping the bag looks better in person than it does in the photo. I use the bags to organize stuff in my purse. With the current month being my wallet. I’ve gotten many compliments on Aug bag! If it’s not appealing to the eye I think I will keep using Aug and demote the Sept bag to hold my blood glucose testing stuff…… or pens and a notebook. I’m particular about my pens and always keep several in my bag with a notebook, I’m really picky about the paper I write on, mead just doesn’t cut it.so I don’t forget I keep a notebook to make notes to myself, shopping lists for various stores, etc.

ED

Hi Kristie – I love your ideas for Ipsy bags. I keep my iPod, charging cord and earbuds in one of the bags!

Alyce

Kristie,
Those are some great uses for your bags! I have several in my purse also. One is for gum, breath mints and dental floss. ? Another has a few little trinkets, Cheerios and bracelets for my granddaughters. If they start getting fussy when we are out I hand them their bag.

Thanks for sharing your ideas!

Cassie

I need these in my life lol
-TOOFaced Lip injection
-ToGoSpa Eyes by ToGoSpa in Green Tea Eyes
-Whish Renewing Mud Mask
-Dirty Little Secret Cosmetics Eyeshadow in Teaser
-MAKE Beauty Skin Illuminator in Llós

I really like the September bag, the best one in six months, in my opinion. I like the sophistication of it. I followed some of the others advise and changed my age also, hopefully I’ll get my colors than cream, but I would really love one of the brushes. Can’t complain too much for $10/month. It’s a good deal and I’ve gotten some great items over the months.

Susan

I do not like that the bag spells “IPSY.” I prefer bags without obvious marketing on them.

Reply ButtonReply

Dorina Phyle

Lol I had to go take a look. Can’t be too obvious, I didn’t even notice. Seriously though, if you owned a company wouldn’t you want the name on your product? Its a business no brainer!

Elena

But how the age affects the products they send to you? Actually I would better prefer getting more serums and creams instead of fuchsia lipgloss or one more useless bronzer)) what should I do for that in my profile?

Reply ButtonReply

Alyce

Hi ladies,
I have my age of 60 marked! I receive the monthly mascara and bronzers, but no lipsticks/ gloss. I always receive two skincare products, one usually a serum – love that fact. Hope this tidbit can help someone. ?

Jeanne

I really loved the Mongongo lip balm in The August bag, best lup balm ever. I really hope to get the lip injection in the September bag. I am older and my lips could use some plumping, lol.

Maria

I really want that medium shadow brush. I need a new one badly. The bag is okay, not special. I think hitting fall so quick is what is sad to me. I miss summer everything. These sub boxes don’t realize none of us buy mascara because we get a few every month. I have my faves but I am just not that picky about mascara. One word of advice, I bumped my age down over 10 years and I finally like what I get. I was getting too much “age related” creams and repair “stuff”. Now I get fun makeup like, um, normal people.

Reply ButtonReply

Mars

What is the new age range you changed it to? I wonder if this can also be a problem for me, don’t want to end up with face creams and age related creams all the time.

Reply ButtonReply

Courtney

I did the same thing. I was receiving more skincare at 32. I changed my age to 24 or 22 don’t remember exactly, but I like my bag better now.

Katy

I was seriously considering taking this month off from my subs but after seeing all of the awesome products this month, I don’t think I can. Plus I really like this bag. I think its very mature and stylish which is a nice change up from the more playful summer designs.

I really, really, really, really (really) want the Clarks Botanicals. I got the Marine cream back in the May bag and it turned out to be utterly fantastic. I wish I could afford to purchase all of their products ever made!! The only things I really don’t want are the Pixi lipstick, the ELF eyeshadow, the Living Proof or nail polish, unless it’s the Trust Fund. That color looks gorgeous and I’m a big fan of their formula. Everything else looks pretty great to me so Im feeling it will be another fantastic month.

Sk

I agree I LOVE the trust fund champagne color!
I’m hoping to get these in my next bag:
-trust fund champagne nail polish
-too faced lip injection
– make illuminator
-the green tea eye mask
– the belif moisturizer
-or any of the brushes!

Okay well I liked actually loved the bag last month, and it was the first time I actually got nail polish and to boot it was the first time from Julep I didn’t get nail polish and wanted one so I got nail polish regardless. I am okay with the bag, I love that it spells ipsy out with the girls arms, yes it does remind me of YMCA and cheerleading also but not in a horrible way. I would love love to try the Ecko Liquid Eyeliner, any of the nail polishes, no more mascara belonging to a few subscriptions I got my fill thank you very much. I would love the e.l.f. eyeshadow also I have only gotten a few and mostly all broken so here is hoping on that. I just started my sub in May of this year so I am okay with doing the reviews I actually prefer it with ipsy verses say Birchbox. I hate that I can’t just answer a few questions. Now for hair products I’m kinda overwhelmed lately with them so anything but hair stuff this month would be a blessing. Looking forward to my surprises that come to my door. Wishing everyone else all the luck with their wishes and wants, and cya later this month to talk about another sub I have and didn’t get what I want, which hasn’t happened too much!!

If you are referring to the eyeshadow being broken up, it’s very easy to fix and/or they will replace them if they are broken/crushed up, (they have replaced a couple for me). You can scrape all of the eyeshadow powder out of the container and mix it with a lil alcohol, I use rubbing alcohol, but i’ve heard you can even use *Vodka* for example (or any type of drinking alcohol) and just mix it up and put it back in the container and use a makeup brush to make sure it’s level and let it dry and it will be just like new. I’ve tried this and it turned out perfect, just be careful how much you use. I pour a small amount in the lid and use a little at a time. I’m not sure if you have tried this or already know about it, but I thought I would share. Good luck!!! 🙂

Ooooooh la la, my perfect bag here would be the angled brush, the hask hair product, the guava butter, the superhero mascara, and the lip injection!!!!! Fingers crossed! :O

Kris0129

So I know whatever I want, need or hope for I NEVER receive with Ipsy…I almost always get the exact opposite lol but maybe if I wish real hard and write it down on here I may get lucky just this once haha and I take the time to do the reviews on each product every month still never works out for me…does anyone even read them and try to match your profile up haha doesn’t seem like it to me just saying.
*Living Proof Perfect Hair Day
*Too Faced Lip Injection
*Trust Fund Beauty Nail Polish
*Eva NYC forget me knot dry conditioner OR Hask 5 in 1 Hair rescue
*Crown brush ombre angle
This would make me very happy for once with Ipsy 😉

Do your reviews ladies and you will get more of the products you want and less of the ones you don’t. If you don’t like the bag then give it away! You get 12 a year, there are bound to be some you love and some you don’t!

Reply ButtonReply

Taylor

I disagree. I have downrated every nail polish I have ever received because I can’t wear it at work and it doesn’t stop them from sending it to me every other month.

Reply ButtonReply

Deionna

Oh no! Clearly it is not working for you, I’m sorry to hear that. My experience has been completely different and my daughters also. Reviewing seems to be working for her too, unless we are just getting lucky!

Carrie N

I would but the reviewing system drives me bonkers. They ask like 6 questions for every product. About halfway through the second product i can’t continue. I wish they could simplify it a bit.

Reply ButtonReply

Deionna

I agree Carrie, it can be a bit tedious at times but it’s worth it to me and I love using my points. Of course, last time I used them to buy a face wash and then literally got face wash in all 3 of my beauty subs AND a full sized one in my Fab,Fit,Fun box! lol

monah

Well, first, ignore the long reply to you from me. I don’t know how I managed to do that! I have found doing reviews on my phone way too much trouble, but on my laptop it’s easier. But their review process is still very cumbersome

monah

When I cancelled I then received an email from them that I had to respond to in order to complete the cancellation. My bank account wasn’t charged, but it may be because I did it so quickly they didn’t have time to process me. I keep my account cancelled with them. I figure if I really like the bag I might resubscribe then cancel once my order processed. Maybe you missed the email that you had to respond to? I never like the mascaras cuz they are always black and are too harsh on me. But for a cute bag I wouldn’t mind since I do have friends who wear black mascara and love my hand-me-downs! For some reason I thought I was going to like the bag but when I saw it, well it made me think of bad cheerleading and the YMCA song all rolled into one! The wait for a nice bag continues

diana

I would LOVE to have the TOO FACED LIP INJECTION, I was just about to buy a tube, but surely it will not be in my bag, regardless of my settings… that’s the downfall to all this…

Reply ButtonReply

monah

I resubscribed at 2:37 a.m. this morning and cancelled at 9:34 a.m. after I saw the bag. I would have been happy with any of the products, but the bags just get worse and worse. I cancelled my subscription originally in May. The only bags I had liked since Nov were Mar and Apr so I thought I would stop for awhile. I haven’t liked a bag since. I ended up donating 3 bags to the local ministry thrift shop. I liked the Aug bag, but ironically, not the makeup that was all over the bag. So I’m holding out til Nov since the Oct preview of the bag was just meh. Even though it’s only $10 I really want to like the bag, too. As a previous subscriber I can sign back up anytime. And, doing it this way really helps cut down on repeats.

i am not sure what everyone is hating ..this is a fun subscription its 10 bucks …if you want a personalized bag go out a buy a bag and 5 to 6 items and see if you can spend less than 10 dollars. Its hit or miss with IPSY …i always recycle and give away what i do not use …my friends are always grateful to receive.

agreed

Courtney

Ditto. I gave my mom some duplicates and things I wasn’t personally interested in yesterday, made her day. Ipsy is the best $10 sub.

Cassandra

sighhhhh. Lots of stuff I wouldn’t be excited for. I’m really close to the end with Ipsy, I think. They’ve messed up my points lately, sent me stuff I haven’t even looked at since I opened my bag for months. I just need some good points item to come up this month to use all my points and then I can unsub for a while. I don’t feel like I’ll regret it.

Marla

Now I’m glad I cancelled in June they have gone downhill most of the samples are small that did it for me when I got five of the tiniest samples and my friend received 3 full size products. I was done that pushed me over the edge and that bag is ugly. I hope you guys get the items you really want.

Alyce

Maria,
Full Sized? Wow. I’ve been subbing with them for 6 months and never received full size. Is her secret in the personal survey?

I don’t like posting complaints though. I’m blessed that $10 is doable with me, Ipsy is a monthly grab bag, and my products are happily received by my daughters and a local women’s shelter.

Sun

Often things nail polish, eyeliner, shadow, brushes/tools, and sometimes blush, come in full size. It’s usually the skin care that only comes in tiny samples for me.

Lesley

Thanks so much for posting the spoilers, I love it! Truthfully kinda on the fence about this months products, seems like an awful lot of skin care for a “Glamazon” theme, hmm.
Ideally I’d like to try the lip injection, Dr.G bb cream, Trust Fund polish, eye cream (am running low lol), green tea eye patches, Rodial hyaluronic tonic or a makeup brush would suit me fine. We shall see!
