I’ve been with ipsy since April of 2016. Most of the time, I was getting great things that were relevant to my profile. Obviously, you always get off items. Then about 3 months ago, I started getting items I don’t use so, I updated my profile, got rid of somethings I said I liked previously and was sent a 3rd black eyeliner. I complained and she said she would remove eyeliner from my account. They took away my monthly brushes too, which was a fave. This month’s bag is the worst by far. I saw what my mom and daughter are getting and I was so disappointed. I claimed my points for next month, it’ll be my last.

Nicole Crawford

Ugg Ipsy is going to try and charge us for being able to pick a product. Ummm NO. Everyone should be emailing Ipsy fight now telling them that is a horrible idea!

sharontroaugh

I am totally digging this bag! I also cannot wait for the samples! Great Job Ipsy!!!

Dianne

I’m disappointed in the plain jane bag… I thought for Halloween it would be a little more spooky. I signed up in August and so far the bags are just “meh” to me. I’m also disappointed that I was told that I can no longer request certain samples each month. 🙁 Overall, not sure how much longer I will stay with Ipsy.

Jai

Ugh I was just told that I can no longer pick one product either!” So done with ipsy!

Anita

I wasn’t with Ipsy last October but I’ve seen the bag & would love to have one. After looking at this October bag, I’m ok with it. The bat 🦇 tab is cute & actually, I usually end up giving away most of the bags anyway except for the few I use.
I switch out the one I carry in my purse every couple of months & I keep 1 in the car glove compartment with Kleenex, wipes & a few bandaids.
I would never throw any of them away it’s just wasteful. There’s always someone who would appreciate it.

I checked my Ipsy and I have no spoilers listed. I’m not a fan of this set at all and here is why:

Smashbox Photo Finish Lid Primer — I have a primer I use religiously already. I suppose I can try this, but don’t need nor want it

IT Cosmetics Bye Bye Pores Pressed — Ulta just sent me a sample with an order yesterday so don’t need more, not a fan

tarte Lights, Camera, Lashes Mascara — got this in my last bag, I like it as a lower lash mascara only (not good for top) and don’t really need another

Rimmel Lasting Finish by Kate Moss Nude Collection Lipstick — nude lipsticks don’t look good on me, I’m too pale for them

Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencil in Perversion — Since UD got bought out the eye liners have gotten very runny and I can’t use them anymore, sad b/c I used to love them. Already have a half pencil I keep for dire emergencies.

Becky

I emailed last month and they said what i picked would be in my box along with a nail polish I got neither but i did get a bunch of crap i didn’t want I think I am done with ipsy.

Anita

Well, at least I got to ask for something specific for September & October. I wonder what “new” thing they’ve come up with to give more personalized bags. I don’t think my reviews matter much so I’ve stopped writing anything more than a sentence or 2. For the past several months I’ve flipped my profile around & I love my August, September bags.
All in all, I usually get 3 sometimes 4 things I like& for $10 I get to try out brands I normally can’t afford.

Nicole Crawford

Trying to get people to pay! There polling people to see if they would be willing to pay 5 extra dollars on top of the cost of the bag to be able to pick a product.

KenziecfHanback

I just now requested an item for the October Ipsy Glam Bag. I picked the Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencil in Perversion, but the response was that there would no longer be item requests in the future.
The email response said:

Thanks for your message! We’re phasing out our product selection program, but I’d be happy to honor your request this time. Your pick will be included in your October Glam Bag!

Starting in October, you’ll no longer be able to write to us and request specific products for future Glam Bags, but be on the lookout for another fun product personalization opportunity coming soon!

Just wanted to give a heads up.

Anna

How much product of the bye bye pores do you think will we get? like a tiny sample or deluxe??

Rasheeda

Yeah. I want to know as well because if it’s a decent size then it’s something that I want to email about…

Rasheeda

Does anybody know if there will be any full sized items in this bag? I am tired of the Itty bitty samples…

Jenai

In my bag this month I’m getting a full size lip crayon (rv $18) and full size eye cream (rv $35.)

Thea

That is one of the reasons every month I say it’s going to be my last month! I have enough tiny samples all over the house lol

sharontroaugh

It’s 10 bucks so you only get sample sizes. Boxycharm is $21 and you get 5-6 full size products each month!

T.Marie

I love Boxycharm

Lisa

I don’t just get sample size though. I get 2-3 full size for $10. Every month for past 6 months. That colourpop lippie was full size for example .

Jess Bennett

They have full size items each month. It’s just the matter of if u get them most the time. I have gotten quite a few full size

Rasheeda

The only full sized item that I have ever gotten was a brush…

marie

Just FYI…I just emailed my sample selection, and they are phasing out this feature in October. Support did say they will honor my request, but this is the last time.

Viri

Yes I got the same from them😬Hey it works lol

Thanks for your message! We’re phasing out our product selection program, but I’d be happy to honor your request this time. Your pick will be included in your October Glam Bag!

Kara

Really? I emailed them and they didn’t say anything. That’s a bummer. I wonder if this means we can make requests on the website soon?

Nyesha

you mean we can’t make anymore request? So they shouldn’t release spoilers then because it wasn’t like requesting a selection was common knowledge to others besides what we find out here. I hate seeing spoilers I HOPE to get ugh.

Lisa

I get full size items in every bag usually 2 or 3. So to answer your question yes.

Tarrian

Same..

Delyla gonzalez

When are we getting round #2

Cynm

This October bag is sooo much better than last years!!! I threw last years away! Then again I am a mature woman and do not like the cutesy childish bags at all. I tossed that egg thing bag away too.

cait

They are your bags and you are entitled to do with them as you wish. Ignore the negative comments from all of these so called “do gooders.”

Meenleen

Please, donate them to a shelter, I don’t expect you to go through the effort of making hygiene bags, which are desperately needed, but, the bags with makeup you don’t use, could help a homeless woman feel better about herself & nail a job interview. I’ve been on both sides of this & something so small could be all one person needs to get off the street.

jenn

I sold both of those bags (just bag) for $8 each since they were collabs. what a shame

miss snow

I literally paid $15 for just the gudetama bag on ebay, because my best friend and I loved it and I wanted to get her one that matched mine, and before I even signed up for ipsy in January of 2017 I bought the valfre bag from Halloween last year for $10 on ebay for myself. and found another oct 2016 bag at the thrift store for $3 for my friend. you could of donated them or sold them instead of being wasteful….

Dawn

HOLY TROLLS!!! WTH?!!!! Hey Cynm, it’s your money, your Glambag and you can do whatever you want with it including throwing it away! I could not agree with you more on some of the bags. I don’t give a crap who designed it or how popular something is, if I don’t like it, it’s gone. Everyone has there own way of doing it. Not everyone has the room and/or time to store stuff up and donate it. Mostly, I can give the ones I don’t want to teenage nieces but there have been a couple I couldn’t even pawn off on them. Just ignore the perfect people.

Sjski

Please don’t toss the bags – if you don’t like them, please give them away. I often take a lot of the IPSY bags, as I package them together with makeup I collect over the year and make a bag for each lady at a women’s shelter for Christmas. If I’m lucky, I have enough to give 2 bags to each lady, as they often need little bags for various items. They love them and are grateful.

I loved the Gudetama bag and I’m glad I had 2, as my 9 yr old son swiped one for a pencil case for school…lol.

Selina

Me too, after having read about the donation to the women’s shelter, I have been collecting all my ipsy bags this year along with makeup items from both ipsy and boxycharm, colourpop
etc, So I can give out bags at Christmas, great idea! But I will keep the lazy egg and bat bag for myself, love these cute bags!

Lauren

I’m also a mature woman and thought last year’s bag was so adorable, I bought a second on eBay to have around.

Laura

yikes

I mean, seems very No Fun.

Even if you don’t personally like the bags because they’re “too childish” there’s no reason they wouldn’t make cute gift bags for someone else. Or as folks said, a good donation to a women’s shelter.

I’m pretty disappointed with the look of last month’s bag, and this month only has me smiling a bit because of the bat. If you can’t be a little silly and childish during Halloween, when can you goof? I can get a bland “mature” make-up bag just about anywhere.

Laura

Also, I just got my September bag last night, and I have to say, not only do I hate the look of it, but I also hate the way it feels. It’s a very unpleasant-feeling bag to me. Just…bumpy. Why.

amyr

I am over 60 and I think Gudetama is cute! Last October bag is adorable and I love this one too!

Lizzie

That’s kind of wasteful…if you don’t like them, donate them to a women’s shelter or even Goodwill. They’re perfectly good bags, and even if they aren’t your style, someone else could find a better use then them rotting in the dump.

Jodi J.

I give the bags I don’t like to my 6 nieces, including the egg one. They love them.

Agreed. I get a few sub boxes. Last year my “stash” of products/colors I won’t use as well as all those ipsy bags was taking up too much room. So I divided the products up & placed them in the bags & donated them to a domestic violence shelter. Many women escape with little to nothing. The shelter rep said the women were all very appreciative & started using items immediately. Throwing those items away is beyond wasteful.

Julia

I agree, especially since that bag was collab and better quality. I mean come on, it was Valfre right?! I’m sure there are many people who would have loved to have that bag or even pay money for it.

Julia

Oh no! the bag is very ugly. That’s disappointing considering last October’s was one of my favorites. I hope I get that peach hand creme though!

Jenai Rothnie

I didn’t request anything for my first bag this month, but ended up really liking what they picked and ended up with both products I was hoping for (Tarte mascara and smashbox primer.)

For October, though, I just requested the CONTEXT SKIN Vitamin C All Day Eye Cream. I’m giving birth in a few weeks, and with my first pregnancy my face and eye area got so dry for a while! I was tempted to request the hand cream because the peachy shape is so cute, but the eye cream seems like it would be much more useful. 🙂

Jenai Rothnie

And the lacy illusion on the October bag looks so nice! I was worried October would be too over the top Halloween (since I don’t actually celebrate Halloween), but it is actually very pretty. I think the little bat zipper is kind of cute, too.

naomiest

I love it too! It’s not that last years October bag wasn’t cute… but it was just that… “cute.” I think this one, from a Retired Goth Girl point of view, is perfect for October!

amyr

I love it too! The lace illusion and the little bat charm are enough for me! I am not a Halloween person either and don’t celebrate it for a holiday ever.

Mya

Me and my mom are both requesting the It cosmetics pressed powder hope we like it but we still haven’t got our september bags yet 🙁

libran

Aw, I don’t like any of these options enough to request them 🙁 . Hope I get the lipstick.

sheilamcolon

I didn’t know you can actually email them and request a specific sample! Do they really send you the product requested?

Bobbi M Rhea

I have requested for the past 3 months and have gotten the item I requested!

Brianna Farley

Yes

Summer

Yes they do! I just got my bag today and I had requested the eyeliner for September and I got it! Just make sure to message them before the end of the month, they’ll actually reply to you to confirm and everything!

Anita

Emailed CS several days ago, heard back within 2 hrs I chose the Context eye cream. I’m really wanting the eye lid primer but I need skin care especially eye cream/serum etc more & I just bought the travel size Urban Decay eye lid primer from Ulta’s sale.
I appreciate the spoilers this will be my 2nd month requesting something.
Thanks to all who share their tips on here. I’m really starting to love my Ipsy more. The 1st month was blah then got a little better then after 2 months in a row of just ok was ready to cancel. August, September much better, looking forward to October.

Lisa

If you haven’t already, you should check out the Allure beauty box. It’s a lot of nice skin care, with a bit of makeup. September’s box is really great, and the spoilers through the end of the year look fantastic!

Mary Tullila

Are the items shown with the bag , what is coming in Oct for everybody or just certain ones ? I’d like what’s displayed lol …I’m thinking two things from Sept bag will not be favs this time. The black bag will make up for it tho.

Shu

No. They’re just potential items. With Ipsy, the items vary from person to person. You might get multiple that have been shown, or just one, or potentially none depending on your bag combo.

Lisa

Yay! I signed up for October, and I’m excited. I already put in my request for an item and I received a confirmation email back in less than 15 minutes, so I’m already impressed by CS. Is Ipsy good about following through and giving you requested items?

Also, I’ve seen that you can opt out of certain categories, but can anyone give me examples of what those categories are? I’m still building up my makeup collection, so I have no problem with receiving eye makeup (I love liner, mascara and eyeshadow), but I’d like to know what other people have opted out before I send an email about that.

Julie

I’ve always received the item I requested! I opted out of eyeliner and brushes and I haven’t received any since I did. To get an idea about categories look at your beauty profile – I think they use those categories for opt outs as well as preferences.

Lila

I didnt know that so accidentally i opted out of alot of makeup and picked cleansing and skin care more then i picked makeup stuff like blush and eye liner i am super pissed because they really ended up just sending me cleansers and nail polish and skin care stuff i am more into makeup im upset

Lisa

I opted out of brushes and I tried to opt out of skin care. They told me I can not opt out of all skin care you can also not opt out of all hair care. They told me they could opt out of my least favorite which are cleansers and moisterizers which is mostly what they send anyway . You can opt out of 2 product. Ipsy has good CS and you usually get what you request as long as you stick to first spoiler list . If you don’t stick to first list it depends on who you get most say no but a few get yes.

Meenleen

I don’t have hair care checked on my profile & have yet to receive hair care, I’ve also not received any bronzer or contour, outside of an ipsy offer, so, I would start with your profile. Also, black eyeliner, I didn’t contact care to TOTALLY opt out, I just changed my preference to adventurous. 😉

Shu

You can actually opt out of three things, not just two.

I’m opted out of Serums, Cleansers, and Hair Styling.

Lilies2u

I opted out of mascara and nail polish for the first one year. When my mascara stash ran low and I realised I now have 5 black eye liners , I messaged them and switched my opt out to eyeliner and highlighters! Lol. But ipsy CS is really good with responding and taking care of such things !

Ashley

I am loving the look of this bag online! Hopefully its the maroon/burgundy color it shows on my phone lol. I’m getting married on Halloween this year in Gatlinburg and our colors are burgundy and plum. This bag will match perfectly with our theme! I actually like any of the makeup options so I’m not going to ask for anything but to be surprised.

amyr

I love it too! The lace illusion and the little bat charm are enough for me! I am not a Halloween person either and don’t celebrate it for a holiday ever. p.s. I live so close to Gatlinburg, TN. Such a beautiful place! We are going that way next week!

Ashley

I went to college in Cookeville and I fell in love with East TN in the fall. We cannot wait for the most gorgeous wedding photos ever! I’m a Halloween person but more of in a “I love all things fall and pumpkins and the colors and the weather and haunted houses.” The entire month of October is pretty much one big fall celebration extravaganza for us ♡

Donna

I hated last years bag! This one is much better! What happened to the garanteed items each month? I did not see them last month.

IMSC

More spoilers!

I asked if they would be featuring any blush or other eye shadow for the month of October that I could pick from and they told me

– Dirty Little Secret Cosmetics Eye shadow (color not mentioned, I just emailed them asking what color it is)

– Essence cosmetics Satin Touch Blush in Satin Coral

– Essence cosmetics Satin Touch Blush in Satin Love

————————–

If you e-mail them asking if they’ll be featuring said type of product (don’t go overboard, only mention like 2 at max ex. brushes & eyeliner) because you’re not really interested in the sample choices released they’ll ‘sometimes’ give you a list of 2 to 3 new options for you to pick from. If anyone tries this and finds some new spoilers for beauty tools (like brushes), eyeliner & lipsticks/liquid/gloss please reply to this comment and let me..all of us.. know!

Kay

Did they tell you the eye shadow color?

IMSC

It’s Bronzed!

Lisa

They did that for me in August . I emailed to opt out of brushes and skin care told them I hate black eyeliners and that was all the first list was . So they gave me the list with perfume, hey honey scrub and Caprice ? highlighter. I got the perfume.

Sandi

I was told they couldn’t assure I get the primer 😢.
They said I could pick from these items.
SKYN Icelandic Relief Eye Cream
–IT Cosmetics Bye Bye Pores Pressed Powder
–Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencil in Perversion
–MEECH AND MIA Loose Eyeshadow in Purple or Beige
–SKINVOLVE Peppermint Body Scrub
–CUTE BALMS Vanilla Lip Balm
–NAIL MEDIC Volcanic Ash Charcoal Infused Nail Polish

Lisa

Oh no I want the primer too!! I did not ask but I was hoping it was going to be like foundation primer and sent to most people. But if they said no its probably like Mac and DLS which a much smaller group got. I did give it likes though and in review I wrote that I would prefer eye shadow primer as I rarely use foundation.
