I’d like the Belle En Argent lippie, but so far none of the spoilers thrill me.

Hmm, looks like not the best month maybe I’ll pause for this month. I hate that they don’t allow you buy anything else on the website when you do that though. That should technically hurt their business too.

I think the bag is cute! It looks like different lips. None of the products really thrill but it doesn’t really matter anymore. I’m basically paying ipsy to send every that does not match my profile in any way shape or for. After 3+ years, the last 9 months has been pretty bad with ipsy and their customer service. It used to be you could get help with your profile and/or opt out of products, etc… Now ipsycare is customer correction, being talked down to, snide responses, copies of faqs pasted in and my personal favorites,”Maybe you’re just too old for ipsy? Have you considered a service more better for you ages?” Yes! That grammar! More better for my ages? WTH?! How about more suitable for a woman of my mature age of 40?! Yes pumpkin I have and they cost more, don’t personalize any better and send tiny samples. Bye the bye, 40 will sneak up and bite you in the butt way sooner than you think! 😩🙀🤣

I resigned up for Ipsy wanting the Ipsy + but it has me with the regular subscription. How do you change it?

Send them an email saying that you do not want the $10 bag you want Ipsy Glam Plus. You may be put on a waiting list because I have heard people are still waiting. I hope that helps

I waited for over 5 months and still no Glam Bag Plus. I cancelled Ipsy last month and I’m glad I did. I’m thinking about switching to Sephora Play but haven’t made up my mind yet.

That glamglow, bell en argent, and the hair mask look nice.
But tbh I’m pretty peeved with ipsy right now. Not only did I have to wait a whole month longer to get my december bag, but the blush was just destroyed and got all over everything 🙁

Is this spoilers for the regular bag or Glam bag plus?

The article says this is for Ipsy GLAM, not the regular Ipsy. I am finding Ipsy a bit better than Sephora (the current $10 Sephora) but lately neither service has been what they suggested. December 2018 Sephora ran out of product. Didn’t tell subscribers and sent a mix of stuff – really a downer. Why not admit you are out of product and either give us MORE or just not charge us and resume the following month. Instead we get leftover samples (some of which were duplicates in the same box). And, as the woman who was 40 commented…. it would be great to have options to have “glitter-free” samples. I notice that all the inexpensive boxes are now selling “glam” alternatives at a high mark up. I think them are upscaling themselves out of business. I am giving both Ipsy and Sephora a couple of more months and if products continue to be poorly selected or miniscule (Hello, Sephora examples of Belif…. better of to go to the Belif website to purchase. They give out full size free-bees. ). Tick Tock (what you think women over 40 do not buy cosmetics? Missing a major market, guys…and I do mean guys.)

The Ipsy GLAM bag is what they’ve always called their regular subscription, as far as I know. It’s been called a “glam bag” for the 2 years I’ve been subscribed, with no other options except for the “glam bag plus” for the bigger one.
I do agree that the products have been more geared towards younger people. I also wish “glitter free” was an option on these beauty subscriptions lol. I always end up giving the more ridiculous stuff to my young daughters to play with and anymore that’s been 3 out of 5 products in my bags lately. I’m 36 and wear crazy colors all the time (including super metallic, odd colored shadows & lipstick) but all that glittery crap (and hot pink, etc) goes right to my 12 and 4 year olds and it’s kind of a waste.
I used to like getting lots of skincare in my bags and lately I’ve just been getting masks, glittery gloss, brushes and usually a blush & eyeliner. I’d rather have highlighter & mascara & literally have that in my preferences and every review but its stayed the same. I’m on the verge of just keeping my 12 year old’s but cancelling mine.
I sure hope February is better than January. I got nothing that was reviewed and they must have thought my Profile said Goth Grammy because I received black eyeliner (don’t wear & profile states), black mascara, a greyish black rocker blush, Jersey shore chapstick and a broken billion dollar foundation brush. Step up next month or I’m out! Every time I try to do something for myself, it all turns bad….. ugh

‘Goth Grammy’ – if you don’t want that tag, can I borrow it?

I’m not sure I know what “blackish” blush you received. Was it perhaps the Ella Eden eyeshadow in Willow. That’s a fairly dark color.

If I get another brush from Ipsy after telling them twice to stop sending me brushes, I’m canceling my subscription.

Looks like a great month ☺ i would be happy with all but the bright pink gloss. I think the bag is adorable!

I got both the GlamGlow and Prickly Pear gloss in my January bag and I love both. I love Ipsy. Have been subscribed for 3 years and have never received a repeat item yet.

A few other spoilers are the M*A*C Strobe Cream, F.A.R.A.H Brush Powder Brush 50F, Hanalei Lip Treatment, SUR.MEDIC+ Sheet Masks, and EYEKO Lash Alert Mascara

The prickly pear gloss looks super fun and really pretty. It would be really nice for summer with a tan. The spoilers are looking good so far!

I want both lippies! Maybe the brush and glamglow too.

My first reaction: Ooooh, lookit that bright pink!! *wide eyes*
One time when I thought that about a tube, it turned out to be a mascara, and I was so disappointed because OMG I’m sure we’ve all been sent plenty of mascara (and black eyeliner)!

Ipsy has been pretty good but I don’t like Feb bag, so I think I will skip.

I changed my frequency to every other month and I’m still considering letting this one go. It just doesn’t compare with my other subscriptions anymore. I feel like I get a diamond in the rough every couple months but the rest just gets donated… I just feel I’ve outgrown this one and since GBP isn’t available in Canada it just can’t hold a candle to my boxycharm, boxy lux, and fabfitfun. Even though its not as expensive, its still a waste if I’m not enjoying anything I get.

Rachel, I echo your sentiments. I live in the US and the GBP is still not an option for me yet. In light of my other subs to Boxycharm, Boxyluxe and FFF, I cancelled my Ipsy on yesterday.

I’m glad I have another shot at getting the LAQA and Co prickly pear gloss! I’m jealous of those who got it this month!

Happy to help 🙂
Ipsy’s been feeling lackluster lately (and not just because of delivery issues). I’ve basically been waiting to redeem my points on good rewards (which are also lacking) then I’ll probably cancel for a bit.

I hope I get Elemis, I have used that cleanser and love it! I also hope I get Huda beauty, I’m dying to try that brand.
