Ipsy Review – November 2019

I was very surprised when I opened my bag and found an eyeshadow palette. I assumed it was a mistake, but then became hopeful that it was like some sort of bonus for being subscribed for a while. I decided to see what add-ons I had ordered, and it turned out that I had ordered some sheet masks, which were not included, so they sent me the wrong item, and a more valuable one at that. So now I have to reach out to Ipsy care. *sigh* I have seen other people post about mistakes in their orders, but this is the first one I have had.

Loved my bag contents, although the make up bag itself wasn’t really my style. That’s ok because my 4-year-old has decided he is “Cheetah Boy,” a super hero that is as fast as a cheetah. This makeup bag now holds, “all the things that give him super powers.” Including a Lego block, a plastic head necklace, and an emp candy wrapper. Ipsy has something for everyone 😋

Sooo… I got the exact same things in my bag. The EXACT SAME. While I didn’t particularly mind this month’s bag, I have decided that I have been spending waaayy too much money on GB and GBP every month, and that if I’m not going to be getting consistently fantastic brands, shades, and variety of products, it is no longer worth my time and money. Don’t get me wrong, I am an Ipsy devotee and I love most of what they have to offer and the prices are just too good to pass up, but when only 2/5 things appeal to me on average every month, I get an overload of products, and wind up feeling like I have lost money in the long run… While this may not be true, I’m about ready to give Ipsy a break. Let’s hope December is wowing… otherwise I might have to press pause.

I love everything I received in my bag, I had IT cream, Verso skincare serum,pixi eyeshadow duo, royal brush and Gigi setting powder, three of them have been already in use, and I am pleasant with them, will be considering to purchase the full size. Now I am excited for December bag, Ipsy!

My comments outlining what I received aren’t being posted so I’ll just say I enjoyed everything in my bag this month.

I loved everything in my bag. I got the same It brand face cream, a pretty blush,The Balm liquid highlighter, a serum and a makeup brush. I don’t think any of my stuff was the Gigi brand but if it was I’m ok with that because I loved everything. I don’t care for the actual bag but no big deal.

Love everything in your bag! I loved mine also but would have been equally thrilled maybe even a tad more with yours! 🙂

I would never tell anyone what to use or not use when it relates to cosmetics or anything else. It’s a personal decision. My personal decision is to use the products I love, talc or no talc. I’ll definitely try the Gigi product in my GB. I’ve said this before on this site – I’m a late 50s baby. There is no doubt that I was doused in talc powder. Everyone was, adult, child, infant. Decades later it was still commonly used. Even today. Sure, everyone is aware of the new talc research. Most people use very little of it day to day now. I’m not going to fret over the tiny bit of it, in the tiny bit of makeup I use. I’m definitely exposed to far worse pollutants and carcinogens in my day to day existence. Use it or not use it. Subscribe or unsubscribe. Personal decision.

Can someone please tell me why my comment with a link to the nail polish, on the company’s own website, with information on the retail value…. was deleted? In the last few days, I’ve had at least 4 comments deleted off of this site, and I’m starting to get really irritated with the comment policing

I have been looking at the ingredients on packaging that has them and going to the brands name website and reading the ingredients listed there.

I decided to reactivate my old glam bag account (from when you had to have separate accounts for glam bag + plus) to get the Violet Voss bonus palette, so I got an extra glam bag this month with no product choice customization, & it was very similar to Megan’s. It has the lip balm, moisturizer, & dry shampoo. Instead of the nail polish, I got the Huda lip strobe in Fearless (YES!) & the Wander beauty highlighter.

There’s still 13 things I would have liked to try that were sent out in November bags that I would have liked to try, but didn’t receive in either of my 2 glam bags. Think I should get a 3rd? XD XD XD

I normally stick to classic colors for nail polish, but I really liked this particular shade of blue. I did not like the watery forumla though and it took me four coats to acheive coverage.

I do like the color of that polish!

The polish. It’s worth $2.31

Idk… I’ve been loyal to Ipsy for about 3 1/2 years. This year, they just seem more and more off. I got the same blush as shown in this review. It’s not a shade that works for me and then there’s the fact that the main ingredient is talc. Daughter isn’t going to use that. I got the Gigi Gorgeous face powder, and what were they thinking?! It’s talc and aluminum! Is it face powder or antiperspirant for your face? The ingredients are that of my great great grandmother’s era! For a company that is always preaching about natural ingredients and being ingredient conscious, someone at Ipsy sure wasn’t paying any attention to the ingredients going into this awful collaboration! I read a lot of the reviews on ipsys website and they aren’t good. The Gigi powder went from the Glambag to the trash. I did open it and smell it. It smells like what I thought it would, old lady muff powder! That’s what the ingredients are and that’s what it smells like… My review of it has been taken down from ipsys website. Guess they didn’t like me pointing out the toxic ingredients.

Love the blue shade of polish. Sad month for my teen daughter as she got the It cream! An oily teenager and they sent that? I shouldn’t be surprised because we were bag twins not too long ago. I don’t think the profile does much good.
