My bag FINALLY shipped! It’s supposed to be here on the 15th… but it’s DHL and it always comes later than the estimate.

I’m hoping I’ll like it better than I initially thought… kind of underwhelmed…. but I’ll give it a go 😉

I should have my bag by the end of the week.

Still hoping for the Willow Ella Eden eyeshadow.

I’m debating unchecking eyeliners so I don’t get another ______ liquid liner.

Reply ButtonReply

Jenn

I wish I was getting any of these. Instead I keep getting eyeshadows in colors that will not look good on me. I’ve tried changing my profile didn’t help. Ever since a billing mess up I no longer get good matches.

There my posts go disappearing 🙁

Sarah

Any idea why? I’m not sure how this system works but I’ve had some disappear before and I never understand why when I was simply defending my opinion. The nasty attack comments towards me were not taken down. Never got a response when I emailed to ask why it’s acceptable for several people to attack someone on here but if you defend yourself, then you might get your comments taken down? Seems like the norm anywhere these days.

I noticed Ipsy Glam Bag Plus is stopping putting in a cosmetic bag, wondering if you can get both Subscriptions? I am still waiting for an invite to Glam Bag Plus not sure I will subscribe. I actually like the samples, I throw away so much, I have so much but try to finish one thing before I open another. I grew up in a time where you just do not waste things, but I am getting overloaded. I also wish some of these boxes would offer the whole line in samples. If possible, so you can try more than just one thing from that line. I tend to be loyal to one brand at a time until a better one shows up.

dia

I agree. Fill up a couple of large zip lock bags full of new unwanted samples and drop them off at a local shelter along with gently used clothes.

Reply ButtonReply

Victoria Powers

Hi honey, instead of tossing your unwanted samples, save up a bunch and donate to your local women’s shelter.

Pink5

I’m getting the Eyeoko liner as well.

I may have to try opting out of eyeliners, because I hate liquid liners.

I’ve always rated them badly and disliked it in the comment, but it doesn’t seem to last.

Reply ButtonReply

Flora

I love liquid pen eyeliners and hate pencils. I used to get so many pencil and gel eyeliners in subs that I never used. But with the cateye so popular now, you get them in every beauty sub lately. It’s ridiculous that even I, who normally has to buy liquid pen eyeliners every 2 months, still have 3 Eyekos, 2 Stila, 1 Deck of Scarlet and 1 Wing Woman unopened.

I am getting Eyeko in both my GB and GBP lol They must really think I need more! I could handle it in one bag, I use liner…but both?!?

Melissa

I want this: SKIN&CO ROMA Truffle Therapy Face Gommage, but it isn’t in my bag. 🙁

Jess

I added it on for $3

Melissa

Oh, I didn’t see that option! Thank you! I’m kind of new to Ipsy and don’t know all the ins and outs yet.

Pink5

I’m getting the Ella Eden shadow, too.

Hoping for Willow. Julia is pretty, but I already have too many neutral shadows.

I keeping raving about any purples I get and rating them highly, so hopefully I will.

Olga

I am content with my Ipsy Regulary Glam Bag. There are 1-2 things I would exchange, but I will make do with what I am getting.

The only complaint I have is that I keep getting different brush brands/colors of the brush, but it is always the same kind! Like literally i can do the same thing with all the brushes they sent me. I was hoping for beauty blender or a blush/bronzer blush. I keep always getting the same shape of brush, which is annoying. I do not need 10 of the same brushes….

Adeline

I’m Receiving…

JONTEBLU
Lip Liner Pencil in Plum

COLOR CLUB
Nail Polish in Feverish (ugly pink) OR Williamsburg (0r 5th maroon nail polish in the past year)

ILLAMASQUA
Colouring Pencil Eye Crayon in Honour

PURE BRAZILIAN
Leave-In Conditioner

JERSEY SHORE COSMETICS
Star Mint Glossy Balm

Reply ButtonReply

Pink5

I got the Star Mint balm in a previous Ipsy bag. It smells nice and works okay.

Also getting the Pure Brazilian. It’s getting wintry, I can use extra TLC for my hair.

And an Ilmasqua lipliner. That could be useful. I have liners, but they’re mostly reds.

Reply ButtonReply

Jessi

Funny either your computer screen colors are messed up or mine are, the Feverish polish looks dark red to me and the Williamsburg looks like a lovely sparkly blue. Definitely doesn’t look pink and maroon, maybe it’s just me lol

Reply ButtonReply

h

You’re right, Jessi. Looked online and it was apparently in GlossyBox in Dec. ’15, and the reviewer described it as a deep burgundy. I hope the person actually receiving it, will be happy once receiving it and giving it a chance. It looks pretty to me.

Tasha

I just resumed to Ipsy in December but have not received a bag yet. I got my spoilers for January and I am getting the tarte foundation in the color fair. However I am black and my profile reflects my skin tone. Is that normal for them to send complexion products that are the opposite of your skin tone? I contacted ipsycare just now but will that get me anywhere? I alctaully own the foundation already and like it.

Reply ButtonReply

Lily

They had this same issue with the Shape Tape concealer. In the first spoiler, they only showed you the first option, but later they updated the spoilers to show you all the varieties and people generally got something close to their preferences. Even this month, on some of my spoilers when I first looked at them they gave a single shade (like the nail polish) but now my spoiler is showing optional colors.

Reply ButtonReply

Danha

Where do you go to see what color you’ll getting? I clicked on my glam bag and it just tell me what I’m getting not the color.

Reply ButtonReply

Jenn

I am getting the same shade and I have medium selected on my profile. I will probably try to contact them as well. I’ve had so much trouble with Ipsy lately – mostly to do with my add-on items from November and December and now this.

Reply ButtonReply

Anna

The shade that shows is the first option. You’ll receive your closest match to these options:
Fair Sand, Light Neutral, Medium Sand, Tan Honey, OR Deep Honey

Reply ButtonReply

Whitney Earl

Ipsycare is FREAKING AMAZING away handling requests. I have a feeling they’ll fix you up. You could also ask to exchange the tarte if they don’t have your skin tone shade. You can look at the spoilers and request one of those products instead. Good luck. <3

Reply ButtonReply

Emma

Are you sure you’re getting the skin tone in fair? Typically, only the first of a color variation appears in anyone’s bags. You don’t usually know what color you’re actually getting until the bag arrives, and the Tarte is available in Fair Sand, Light Neutral, Medium Sand, Tan Honey, OR Deep Honey.

Reply ButtonReply

Apricot

Shoot, mine says I will be getting fair sand also and I will be terribly disappointed if I dont get that tone because for once that is perfect.

I thought that when there are variations you may receive they list them all but if one has been chosen for you it lists that color, here’s hoping.

To the OP, I would definitely reach out to Ipsycare, the sooner the better to give them time. I’m sure they will take care of you. I always try to be super nice in my correspondence, even when I’m annoyed (I take a breather and think about it). I’ve generally had good luck getting issues resolved properly. Good luck. 🙂

Beccah

It tells you what shade you ‘re getting on the page to pick addons. Once you pick add ons that page is gone so if you don’t look at your shades beforehand you won’t know till they come

I remember a few years back they had an issue where they accidentally gave everyone who had dark skin marked down the lighter version of a product and everyone with pale skin the darker version, and the customer care was great about fixing it for those who emailed them, so they should be good about swapping it out for you if the bag hasn’t even been shipped yet, that or sending you a new one in the correct color!

I’m SO HAPPY with my GBP. got my spoilers today and there is only 1 item I dont really want, the lip crayon. I am getting the hey honey serum, the murad vitamin infusion, the wander beauty mascara, the ofra highlighter and the violet Voss palette.

I see so many negative comments about the products when all spoilers are initially released, and I often feel the same way, but when I get my personal spoiler for my specific bag, I’m ALWAYS so so so happy. Ipsy is doing an awesome job, except with their shipping. They def need to change shipping providers and use UPS instead of DHL.

Reply ButtonReply

Apricot

This thread is for the original Glam Bag but, I agree completely. Also, quite pleased with both my bags — didn’t get everything I wanted to try but I did get the things I wanted most, super happy. Now if they can tighten up the packing and shipping end, that would do a lot. :))

I would love to try the taste foundation. I’ve been looking for a good one and have yet to find one that I really like

I am really excited about the January bag – my spoilers show excellent products that I can’t wait to try! (I am getting a blush brush – Hallelujah! – thank you, Ipsy.

No brushes this month ?! Bummer the one thing I look forward too !

I’m getting a luxie 1010 small contouring brush in mine

Hi Allison,
Did you look at the add-ons yet? I saw several nice-looking brushes on the list.

AmberC

It’s the last spoiler. And what’s shown here is likely a fraction of what will be in bags this month

Reply ButtonReply

AmberC

In my search for eyeshadow swatches, I discovered some reviews for birchbox UK, and I’m a little jelly. For June 2018, they got a keepsake tea tin instead of a cardboard box (5 year anniversary). Why doesn’t BB do cute things like that here? 😕

Reply ButtonReply

Dea

Size of the subscriber cohort? No sponsorship by a tea tin manufacturer?

Reply ButtonReply

AmberC

Are those actual questions?

Nikkim

Wow I’m impressed. There is a lot in here I haven’t tried. I think only 1 or 2, I have tried. Love when it’s all stuff I’ve never heard of

Reply ButtonReply

Lori Walker

I think these spoilers are awesome. Right up my alley! I unchecked blush a bit ago on my profile, as I have plenty. But id LOVE to try that blush serum😍 I don’t dislike the actual bag. But, I’m not overly excited about it either.

Reply ButtonReply

Jodi

Tried the blush serum before and imho it really is not great. Doesn’t blend in and is like kids play makeup 👎🏻

Reply ButtonReply

Karyn

Same. It was sticky and gross. I used it once and tossed it.

Diana Navarro

I want all of it!! 🙂

Reply ButtonReply

Cynthia Lowry

I haven’t been given the opportunity to add items yet will I have the chance tomorrow? I’m still annoyed I’ve yet to be invited to Plus yet. I’ve been with Ipsy a long time but they keep showing partiality toward some subscribers.

Reply ButtonReply

fetchingmommy

Email them and ask them when plus will be available for you. I did and the next time I jumped on my Ipsy app I had the option to get plus!

Reply ButtonReply

Elisabeth Berlowitz

I would directly ask Ipsy customer service to be added to the waitlist for the Ipsy Glam Bag Plus. That is what I did and it worked for me. It only took about a month I think maybe two to receive my first box. So give that a try. Also if you have a YouTube channel that also helps. My friend got one immediately when she asked. All she did was gave them her YouTube channel name and told them she does unboxings. She got her first box the very next month. So I definitely think Ipsy does give these boxs to people with social media accounts first.

Reply ButtonReply

Lisa

Yes everyone will have opportunity to add tomorrow. Just make sure to go on your account early full size and other popular items sell out fast. I bought mine at 7 am Eastern time last month and about hour later full size items were sold out. Also keep in mind it is only 24 hrs .

Reply ButtonReply

Jessica

Can Canadians do add ones?

Nancy

I would be happy with any of the skincare items, and even the lip butter. I received a cream highlighter 2 months in a row, so hoping I do not receive another one this month and I received purple eyeshadows 2 months in row. Otherwise, I like the spoilers.

Kelly

I’m still waiting on my December bag. Apparently it got lost somewhere after it was transferred to the post office. Ipsy said they would send a new bag a week ago but I haven’t received a shipping notice yet. 😖

Reply ButtonReply

DG

Same here. Tracking info from post office showed “out for delivery” on 12/18 and then nothing after that. I emailed them about it and the 3 add ons that I paid for and they promised to replace everything but I’ve yet to get any shipping info. So I decided to skip January. Luckily other than the lip balms, I don’t see much I want here.

Reply ButtonReply

AmberC

Should probably call the post office about that. Seems like ipsy fulfilled their end, and the delivery person or post office lost it. Don’t think that ipsy should be held accountable for that

Sarah

Oh my goodness! So many goodies IMO! Fingers crossed!

Reply ButtonReply

Dea

I released the hold/suspend because I like the pretty bag. Of the spoilers above, only the nail polish looks good to me, and I don’t even have nails LOL. Hoping for a better impression at the reveal tomorrow!

Reply ButtonReply

Michelle

I only like the bag and nail polish too! But Ipsy always does a poor job at matching me with any spoilers I like, so maybe now that I don’t like any spoilers I’ll like my own bag?

Reply ButtonReply

Cyndi

I will be happy with any of the lip balms or glosses and especially, the Lue by Jean Seo. I find it to be a very effective spot treatment and am always happy to get more of it!

Reply ButtonReply

Lisa

I am nervous about the number of lip balms featured this month. I am up to my eyeballs in lip balm. There is no spoiler I am really hoping for and now that I think about it I skipped last January which was only month I ever skipped so January Ipsy just must not be my thing lol.
