Ipsy Glam Bag Plus Review – October 2019

I started using the Purlisse brightening serum on the backs of my hands because I did not take care of them over my life.

It really helped. I was a little surprised by just how much.

Okay, maybe I am banned my last post did not take. Wonder what I said? I was going to add that the bag shown here is different than the one I got, it had a big boop betty face on the front…a cartoon…I am a little beyond cartoon stuff. The stuff in my bag was not a match even the one I picked a primer balled up like crazy…had to wash my face after.

My bag was awful this time not a thing I could use but for the hard sorta lip/blush product even the one I chose as primer peeled. If I had gotten something like this one shown here I would have been wowed, but I was underwhelmed. Got a acne Murad face wash…I am beyond the acne stage and need moisture it’s profiled. I got the ugly red betty boop nail polish ..don’t wear red…on and on. I did like my add ons but I paid $10 or is it $12 for nothing …I did not even like the betty boop bag. Looks like nice stuff coming up, hope to get some…if not I be rethinking ipsy. One add on it won’t let me reiview, happens over and over, happened last month also and I keep getting a prompt to review but says no can do.

I received the Boop blush and didn’t even try it, I’m very picky about the blush I use because I like it to last all day. I received the face brush set, I was looking forward to them but they’re not good imo. They need to be denser, I prefer my inexpensive real technique brushes. I received the spectra stick which looked like I put Vaseline on my face. I picked the Purlisse and I’m liking that and the Tarte paint pot in martini which I’m very happy with. This was only my second month and i feel like there are too many similar items. I would love more skin care, a good mascara, gel eyeliners and bold lipsticks.

October’s bag was a complete bust for me. My bag was identical to what is in the review.

I’m skipping November and am considering dropping off for a while. I think they have over extended themselves and are sticking us with crummy brands.

I’ve just not been thrilled with any of their cheap makeup collaboration items at all and not looking forward to the GIGI one that looks like it’s yellow based. Been seriously thinking of just canceling Ipsy completely unfortunately, after 6+ years with them.

Your reviews are the very best. I look to see now who is writing the review and if it’s you, I’ll spend more time reading the post. I appreciate that you share honest feedback about the products you receive.

It seems like MSA is on the influencer list and received a far better bag that their readers did. Mine was complete fake product crap, nothing like the bag you received. Tarte? lol my bag was dollar store all the way. I bet your Ultimate was the influencer version as well.

I got completely different products – and it was almost entirely a bust. I WISH I got received the Tarte paint pot!! I wasn’t excited by any of the products we got to choose from but I enjoy eyeshadow palettes so I chose the Betty Boop shadow palette. And it, like the blush palette, is pretty bad. There are some nice colors but the pigmentation is just awful.

I also got:
-the Lovecraft bronzer palette – but I don’t use bronzers
-Jolii highlighter stick – I barely ever use highlighters and this one wasn’t great
-set of 3 FARAH face brushes – meh. They might be okay but I have a lot of solid face brushes already
-Goldfaden scrub – possible saving grace of the box. I MUCH prefer to exfoliate chemically than with scrubs but it’s a really good brand so I might give it a shot.

I’m starting to get bummed by GB Plus. I LOVED the first couple of boxes I got, (I started in January) but the last several have been not good fits for me at ALL.

I was impressed by the quality of the bag. I have no particular feelings about Betty Boop but it’s a nice size and seems well made. It gives me hope for future bags.

If anyone got the Fire Dancer chrome pot and would like to trade it for the Steel the Show let me know. I look terrible in a smokey eye. Mine is new

That Chrome Pot is amazing! I wish I had received one, but I was happy with my bag overall.

I also received the lip gloss duo and those shades didn’t do much for me so I’m gifting them to my sister. I did not like the design of the makeup bag but I love the size!! I’m so excited we will be receiving a bigger makeup bag in the GBP. The makeup bag in the GB are a bit too small and this size is perfect.

I got booped with the eyeshadow palette, which is terrible in pigmentation. The only item I really like from this month is the Dr. Brandt. But the tube seems half filled, like it’s mostly air! I’ve had this product before and don’t remember it being like this. Still a good deal, though, and it makes my face feel squeaky clean.

I didn’t that they ship the plus to Canada now!

Plus this month is way better than ultimate. I add the tarte shadow in the colour of princess. The best metallic shadow I have ever used. The best tarte product I owned.

I got that trio. It was meh. I don’t mind trying new products and fully accept not loving everything. That being said, I would rather have one lipstick from a quality brand than 2 or 3 from a cheapie no name brand. Just mho.

Honesty.. I love your reviews.
I really wanted to like the B Boop colab and I received both the blush palette in Ultimate and the eye shadow palette in Plus. I like the colors as well but, there was very little color payoff. Overall as usual though, I’m ok with all three tiers this month. My plus had over a $200 value and even though I doubt the value listed as $30 For the eye shadow palette, it’s still impressive as usual. I would have been ok with the Ultimate if they hadn’t over promised and delivered a box under $200 value when $250 was promised. They shot themselves in the foot.

I was bummed not to get the Betty Boop face bag at first but loved this bag when I got it. The sequins are really cute. Great review

I cancelled a few months ago and never regretted it.

Hi All,

I’m not sure I’m feeling the new box and was wondering what date I have to skip this box by? Not sure if there’s been changes as we now get to pic our product on the 23rd.

I bet that purplish highlighter would work nicely as an eye shadow.

Megan, you are so cute! “Our bag was covered in matte black sequins and features a red Betty Boop design” – and that’s all you wrote. No voiced opinion = one very definite opinion! And I share it LOL.

Am I the only person that noticed the unfortunate line on Betty Boops dress that makes it look like her taco is showing.

The lighting in my bathroom is pretty bright. So sometimes, for example, I think a lip product looks fairly natural on me and I am about to leave the house and look in the downstairs bathroom and my lips are a waaaaay brighter red than I am comfortable wearing outside, so I have to wipe most of it off. Sorry for the extended storyline, but I tried on this ultraviolet highlighter thingy and thought “okay, that doesn’t look bad.” Thank goodness I looked in the other mirror, because then I noticed that it looked purple and shiny, which is not the look that I am going for. It was funny though.

I also received the Betty Boop blush palette and LOVE it. I used Touch in Sol No Poreblem primer under neath. I’ve had a chance to use the two more pigmented shades as my base color and use the lightest shade as a topper. They apply smoothly with no skipping and no fading, throughout the day. I also received the Mauve It Baby, in my Classic Glam Bag. It’s sooooo beautiful. Fully opaque with one swipe and the shade lasts for hours. It has a lovely satin finish.
