Ipsy Subscription Updates! Choice + Glam Bag Price Change

I emailed IpsyCare and asked if you could skip months if you paid annually, and they told me that you cant skip months, if you pay for the annual amount you will be sent a Glambag every month for 12 months. He also told me that is not a feature Ipsy currently has for annual subscriptions. That is one of the reasons i am not paying annually, plus if something happens and i am unhappy about my subscription, you cant just cancel and be refunded for the future months you are not getting a bag. Ipsy will not refund you if you pay the Annual amount and then change your mind. Hope this helps!😊

They can send you the same type of product two months in a row if it’s not the same exact brand. Question: was the foundation part of your subscription or an add on purchase?

I am not sure if i am going to cancel my complete sub after September or like you, just keep my regular bag. I do like that i can get 5 more deluxe size items if i want them, like i did today. 10 deluxe size samples a month, for the price, is really not too bad, i guess but we have been getting to pick products in the GBP for add ons, i dont think that is going to change. I usually buy a full size add on that is being featured or has been featured in the GBP. I know they say that the Ultimate will have products that the other subs wont have but i guarantee that if not now but later, that the supposed Higher Tier products that the Ultimate is supposed to only have, will be included in the add ons.

I didnt get the ONE thing I wanted in my Plus bag so am pretty disappointed, the Murad spot serum. Geez. Didnt even offer ut yo me in add-ons which really really annoys me. Im 55 yrs old. I have all anti aging stuff in my personal preferences. Wouldnt you THINK I’d b the perfect candidate for it?? Whatever.
Anyway, i did shop add-ons. Grabbed an Ofra highlighter, the Farmacy gel masks, the contour brush & the overnight watermelon serum. Sure hope they do me better next month. Ill probably end up getting it in my Ultimate bag because I wasnt able to get it yet. Lol

I did the same. Dropped the little sample bag, kept my Plus and added the Ultimate so I can decide after that which to keep

I like the idea of more choices with the ultimate bag. OR if you keep all three monthly bags, getting a bonus choice. So one for GB, another for GBP and then TWO for Ultimate. An extra for keeping memberships to all three Ipsy bags. What do you guys think of that?

I just saw this morning that Im getting the Glamglow cleanser in my Plus bag. Happy about that because I wanted to try it n i love tropical scents big time. But was very disappointed I didn’t get the Murad, nor was it an option as an add-on

Well next month, everybody will get to choose. Yeah, i did get to choose a product but the choices they gave me were products that i marked RARELY on my beauty quiz. They had one product that i marked Frequently on, and of course i chose that. I didnt get any items from the flash sale they were offering, i didnt see anything that i had not had before or was interested in. I am not purchasing any more extra products until i recieve my missing add ons that i bought and didnt receive in my bag. I contacted Customer Service about not receiving all three full size add on products and they said they would send them. The shipment for my add ons was the 16th and it still shows that they are on the way to DHL. That is $36.00 worth of products that i have not gotten yet, and this is getting close to the end of the month. There is no way i am giving Ipsy any more money on a upgrade or more products, especially when i cant even get my add ons that i ordered for the month.

I am sure Luna is correct and they only release a limited quantity of some products for preselection.

But it also seems that the same people that got to choose also had access to a Flash Sale. Is that correct or am I misreading something?

No, last month I want the Goldfaden Doctor Scrub, but it was sold out by the time I got to choose. I still received it in my bag this month though.

I doubt it since it seems they allocate certain amounts of a product for different purposes (my guess… some for sample choice, some to be put in boxes, possibly some for add-ons & mystery boxes). A couple months ago I believe they said a Sunday Riley product was sold out for add-ons but they were included in mystery boxes. I know this isn’t the same scenario, but I do recall people questioning this and Ipsy said they allocate different amounts of a given product for different things.

I’ve been a member fora very long time and I’ve NEVER been given the option to choose. EVVA. I just get what they toss at me apparently. Lol. Friends I’ve referred to ipsy and are basically brand new members always get to choose though. I have no idea what they use to decide who gets what. 😝

I chose the Glow Recipe Watermelon Sleeping Mask. I also bought the Murad and Youth To The People duo and the Clarissa And I Dew Care Mask duo and the Kale sheet mask in the flash sale. I love love love the flash sale they do after the choose a product option, I always get the best stuff for so cheap

Yes! I chose the Madison Miller x Ofra palette. What did you choose, Kenley? 🙂

I selected the Madison Miller OFRA Face Palette and the Glamglow Cleanser for my GBP and the Madison Miller Highlighter and Madison Miller Lipgloss for regular Glam Bag!

I am not seeing it. Maybe it still isn’t for everyone?

That was fast – The Glam Glow is already gone!

Where? I looked everywhere on the app in my account…

This is what Ipsy responded with, to someone asking on facebook.

We’ll feature similar products across all three memberships but will have exclusive, top brands and Ipster fave products for Glam Bag Ultimate. With IPSY Match, we’ll ensure you don’t receive any repeats if you have multiple memberships.

As long as all of your memberships are on one account, you should not receive any duplicates.

I am not sure about the different products in the bags but more than likely since some of the add ons are products that are in the GBP every month. I know that ever since they have had GBP and the add ons, i have purchased at least one item as a add on, that was a product in the GBP for that month. I dont really see them sending any different deluxe size samples in the Ultimate than what is in the regular Glambag. I have also seen full size products that have been in the regular Glambag, end up being a product for GBP. Who knows? I am happy with my regular Glambag, plus add ons and being able to pick a product. This way, i dont have to spend the extra money on products that i wont use and i can pick add ons if i choose to. For right now, this is the best option for me. I am wanting to wait and see how the Ultimate does for the people that are subscribing to right now and see what kind of changes, if any for the GBP products. If it was me, before you spend all that money on all three subs, i would wait, at least a couple of months to see what products and brands are in the Glam bags. You could just do the GBP for now and wait to see how the Ultimate turns out? Then if you decide you think you would like it, subscribe. You can always change your mind and cancel a sub, if it is not working for you! Please dont think that i am trying to tell you what to do, this is just my opinion and what i would do.😊

I thought the same but in this case, you are certain to receive duplicates

Yep, you’ll get tons of duplicates that way. I’ve had 2 GBPs for 5 months now and every month I get at least 2 or 3 duplicates no matter how I change up my beauty quizzes. I’ve switched to the Ultimate bag and will be cancelling my Plus bags. I like not having to worry about duplicate products and I’m curious to see what these brands and products exclusive to the Ultimate bag will be.

I certainly wouldn’t want to pay $50 a month for 2 Plus bags when the same amount of money might have gotten me some luxury or upper tier brands exclusive to the Ultimate.

The only issue with that is you’d end up with duplicates allot I’m thinking. They only ensure no duplicates for the subs on the same existing account. Which only allows one of each.

I thought about 2 Plus bags, but don’t want duplicates if I can help it, plus I figure I want at least on Ultimate sized makeup bag. I skipped out on Boxycharm and cancelled awhile ago, but bought someone’s deluxe Boxycharm makeup bag and use it everyday.

As someone who has birthed 4 children I would like to say that what she and her other half do is not our concern. Congrats and may your child be healthy and whatever material things you get in life (we all get material things) be amazing!

So glad to hear you liked it, Barb!

Charlotte,
I agree with Sherri’s comments. And I truly understand your frustration as I’ve had quite a few different issues in the past year and have received useless responses 3/4 of the time. When this happens I hit reply and then type (in all caps 😁) a polite request to have my message forwarded to a supervisor immediately. This has worked nearly every time. I assume it’s because once you escalate an issue, it does get read by a human being who will explain and resolve your issue in more detail. Good luck!

Yeah, there are times and it also depends which Customer Service representative you get, that they either answer with a automated answer that has nothing to do with what you were asking or you get a representative that makes no sense and uses excuses for Ipsy’s mess ups and twist it to wear it is your fault. If i was you, i would contact them again and tell them your question and concerns did not get answered. I just keep contacting IpsyCare until i get my problem resolved, it is usually not the same representative and some of the representatives are really good about answering and dealing with issues, you just have to get the right one. You can also rate there response at the end of the email and if it is a poor rating, somebody will usually email you back to resolve the issue. I have never even heard of them making you return the Glam Bag or GBP, if you wanted a refund for it, especially if it was not your fault, and it sounds to me like Ipsy messed up somewhere, try contacting them again and see what a different representative says, make sure to let them know everything! You didnt skip or pause for August or whatever your whole situation is, make sure to tell them! That is not right for you to have to pay shipping to return it! I hope this helps a little! Let me know how it goes!

Good question. I did notice that some full size products were available for Add Ons that were in the Glambag plus. I added an It Cosmetics foundation.

Between not brown 🤦‍♀️

Congratulations Kimi on the baby!
Hope all is well! Enjoy your push presents and new baby! 🍼💐🌝🎁🎀🎈🎉🎉🎉

CONGRATULATIONS 🎉🎉🎉!! You deserve whatever you want no matter what anyone else thinks. You only live once so do what makes you happy!
Somehow I have never heard of a PUSH present. But I LOVE the idea. If my daughter wasn’t done having babies I would definitely be getting her whatever she wanted. So whenever the time comes my future daughter-in-law will be getting one.

Congrats Kimi! Don’t ever let the bitter Betties knock ya down. Some folks just need drama and spread the nasties. They lurk the internet and find comments to pick apart simply because it is regarding something they feel jealous about. It really says more about them than anything else. I have 4 kiddos and they are the greatest gift I have ever received (I think most folks agree there) but no one batted an eye at my balloons, flowers and cute little stuffed animals that were brought to my room as a congrats..aka push presents. I suppose it is hard for some to see others be happy when they are not.

CONGRATULATIONS KIMI, btw
Spoil yourself any way you see fit, you totally deserve it!

Seriously Cindy?!?! What is your problem?

We buy these boxes usually as a little present to ourselves or other females in our lives. You wouldn’t have commented if someone had said they were buying it for their own or someone else’s birthday, I guarantee it. And guess what, it took a PUSH for that person to be out here available to receive a present now. Smdh push on out of here

Obviously the babys the best part and something to be grateful for. Its a thank you for the mom, not only for “pushing” that baby out, but for everything their bodies go through; both physically and emotionally! That wasn’t necessary.

Wow that’s kinda harsh. Please do not shame women if their partner chooses to give them a gift to show their gratitude for the amazing gift of parenthood. That is not very nice. Let’s uplift each other, not shame each other. We’re all out here just trying to do our best 🙂

Yay! Congratulations!

I cannot tell you how many times my extras have made nice gifts, pampered a friend who is going through a hard time, given confidence to someone who is going to a job interview. Once my extras filled Christmas stockings for a friend with four teenage girls and no job. One SR product in a bag is way less than buying one product and you get the rest for free! I would spend at least the cost of my subs in product at Sephora. I also have found great brands. I LOVE Bite. Found that in a sub box. Becca backlit primer which I use as a foundation (so Dewey) from a sub. Overall I spend so much less subbing than committing to a specific product and have the ability to be generous with my and my daughters friends.
PS
I have also found that I am now taking care of my hands and arms in a way that I never did when I was paying 90$ a jar for anti-age cream. The stuff I find I don’t want in my face due to fragrance or too much product has reversed the aging on my neck, arms and hands.

That’s basically what I do! I have a stockpile of cosmetics for gifts, that I paid almost nothing for.

Hi I would love to have 3 different size bags that match to use as a set or to give as part of a nice gift 🎁.
I love having enough product to be able to leave what i use at my inlaws house so I don’t have to pack so frequently.
So, teenage girls love these bags for their monthly personal items. I have several teacher friends that love having these to give to young ladies when needed. 😊

I think that was just to indicate size,at least I hope so because I don’t really want 3 bags with the same design lol
