Ipsy Glam Bag Plus Review – March 2019

Liz, I bought the Shy Beam based on this review…this is a game changer for me! I have battled dark circles for years, trying every concealer, cream & serum I could find. Just a few dots of this followed up by my normal concealer or cc cream & my dark circles have vanished for the day. Thank you so much for the tip!

Instead of the mascara I got the RealHer lippie. (i have rated everything Pixi as low as they allow, so glad I didn’t get it) When I first saw my reveal I was sad about the Shy beam. Then in a fb group, someone was saying it was great to brighten up under eyes. I, too, have dark circles. This stuff is GREAT for it! I’m thrilled to have received it! I love the Huda (mauve) palette also, but haven’t tried the glittery shades yet. (keep reading about fallout with those)

GBP is doing a great job with the variety of items, variety of brands and high quality products!

I can’t wait to try out the Shy Beam as a concealer! I light it for subtle highlight, but prefer my highlighters to have some shimmer.

I also stumbled across using the Benefit under my concealer and it is so much better than any of the peach toned undereye products I’ve tried. I am hating the Huda mauve palette though. I’m getting fallout from the shimmers, there’s not a good transition shade so I can’t get a good look with just the palette, and the shimmers just disappear and I’m not going to use eyeshadow wet as part of my morning routine. I usually use a cream shadow as a base (not a Mac paintpot, just a stick). I keep seeing glowing reviews, so I have to think I’m doing something wrong?

Oh, I am so jealous. I would love to get upgraded to Ipsy Plus. I’m def going to Sephora to try out the the Benefit as concealer.

I actually like the mascara. I haven’t experienced any clumping at all.

So I went to log into Ipsy app last night and got a pop up asking if I wanted only the GBP or both bags. I clicked on both bags of coarse and it gave me this message:
YOU’RE NOT A GLAM BAG PLUS MEMBER!
Since we just launched, we have very limited quantities, but will add more spots over time. Stay tuned for updates!

I now have the option to view both bags at the top of my app. Does this mean that I’m on the waitlist now? Does anyone know how the upgrade works exactly? I emailed Ipsy care, but their response was no help.

I was really happy with everything! I have been getting Ipsy Plus since Jan and I think they have been doin’ an amazing job! I don’t always use every single item they send me but most of the time I’m happy with at least 4 out of the 5 items. In my March box I recieved the Smokey eye Huda palette, pixi mascara, benefit bronze highlighter, farrah brushes and purlisse orange creamsicle body butter. The only thing I have no idea what I’m going to do with is the bronze highlighter. I was thinking about adding it to lotion or something but I have no idea how I would do that considering you have to get it out with a brush. I use the orange creamsicle body butter everyday. At first I didnt think I would care for the smell bc I’m not big on orange scents but it really grew on me. I dont have anything like it and I’m really lovin’ it! Lol

I got the Sun Beam Golden Bronze Complexion Highlighter, instead of the shy beam. Does anyone have any other ideas of how to use it like the under eye concealer? I don’t use bronzers much and would love other ideas of how to use it.

I used the shy beam under my brow line, and cleaned it up with a brush. Totally brightened my eyes. The Huda palette is wonderful! I love it! I actually like the mascara. I don’t have a problem with clumping or flaking.

I got the red lip in place of mascara, but the rest of my items were the same. I haven’t used anything yet. The Purlisse and the Benefit I’ve used before and like. I’ll hold onto those until I finish opened products. I might try the Huda. It’s my first eyeshadow from them, but the colors aren’t me. Still, I’d like to try the formula. I’m going to include the brushes with palettes I gift. It’s always nice to receive a brush with eyeshadow

YES! I use Shy Beam as an under eye concealer, too! Discovered it a while ago after getting a mini size in a Benefit sampler kit.

Thank you so much for the tip about using the Shy Beam highlighter as an undereye primer/concealer! I’m definitely going to try it out in the morning! Thanks again!!

Liz, I just tried the Shy Beam concealer trick, and OMG, it is lovely. I have deep allergy shiners, and this is awesome for neutralizing the purple and blue! I was a bit bummed with this product- I love highlighters, but I need some GLOW with them 💗 I’m now good on concealer for about a year 🤣

I got the same as you , love the purlisse the texture and scent brought me back to a moisturizer I used years ago but for the life of me can’t remember what the name was . The brushes were pretty but I wasn’t that impressed with them. Maybe because they are so light they feel cheep to me idk. Loved the face brushes we go a few months ago though . I I

I will definitely have to try the under eye trick, because I’m all about the glitter and was disappointed in a non-sparkle highlighter. Thanks for the tip!

I wound up getting a 2nd HUDA palette because I didn’t love the idea of the coral one. I have to say though, some of the shades are really wearable. I have 3 HUDA palettes now (I got the Gemstone one on sale at Sephora, and it’s amazing) and I really love them. The size is perfect for bringing with you and the colors are so pigmented!

I also got the lipstick instead of mascara, and it’s lovely. It stays really well and is super pigmented.

I received the very same items in my box. I LOVE the Benefit “highlighter”. I started using it under my eyes too. And my inner eye corners too. I as well just did not like the mascara. I like Pixi but not everything in the line. I just don’t like their mascara formula. Other than that, I love My Huda Mauve palette too. I’m very pleased with everything.

I loved my Huda palette and the Purliss. I got the brush set as well and it just didn’t impress me. They do get the job done but not very well in my opinion. Overall, I was very happy with my box though. I’m glad I skipped April. The only thing I would have wanted is the eye cream. I hope May picks back up.

I am really enjoying the moisturizer at night. I got the other highlighter and have not tried it. I never know what to do with liquid ones.

I also wasn’t a fan of the mascara. The wands are amazing and it went on great but it flakes on me when I barely touch my face lol I’m a face toucher

Liz, I’d really wish you’d start doing makeup looks with your beauty bags.

Swatches don’t tempt me to try new products because everything looks different on the face.

Show us what that highlighter looks like as a concealer!

I thought the Benefit Shy Beam made a great concealer it would work for contour too. If it was marked concealer people would’ve loved it. That’s how I’m using mine.

I loved the March plus box! I skipped the April box and want more May spoilers to see if I’m skipping it or not. March was great!
