I don’t know what happened this month. Usually they have round 1 & round 2 of Ipsy spoilers. But all I’ve seen are these 3 items for the ultimate. Not thrilled about the eye-shadow sticks at all. The serum maybe but never heard of brand before. This is my first ultimate and hoping I didn’t wait all this time to be disappointed. Probably going back to the plus.

I’ve had some GBU’s that have been truly abysmal (for my needs and likes), and I certainly don’t indulge every month, so I don’t have an enormous amount of experience with GBU. I think I’ve gotten 5 or 6. Two were pretty fabulous for me, one was good but had a few disappointing items, and at least two were just real bummers.
I’m excited to try the Awake Glow Pill serum, and will hope the other 11 products make it worth the plunge. I do hope it turns out to be a good box. I could really use the lift.

GBU just is not worth my money. I have been disappointed in every one I’ve bought. I just do regular Ipsy and GBP.

Hard pass. This hasn’t created any interest for me.

I just took another wistful look at my November Ultimate leopard print train case. Large. Quality. Interesting.
Not too impressed with the cases that have followed.
What happened to you, Ipsy?!

The spoilers are the attention grabbers and nothing here is grabbing my attention. Ultimate disappointment is more like it.

I’m irritated that we waited this long for spoilers & then this is all we get?! I’m anxious to see what excuse Ipsy uses when they can no longer blame Covid-19?!
I don’t generally get upset over what’s in my subs. I’ll use some of it. The rest I give to women in our local dv shelter.

Not to mention they put choice up a day early last month, and now it is the 23rd, at almost 10am and no choice. Kinda getting irritated here too…

I was able to get Choice on the 24th on all of bags. Weird.

ipsy choice = 24th
RubyWooWhoo
Huh? Choice isn’t until the 24th this month. You can always check the timeline in the Ipsy app to see what day choice will fall on.

I had no idea this existed! Thank you!

If I had to pick another make up box I’d probably go with Boxy again.
I’ve cancelled all my subs.. I’m down to only Netflix. Lol
Trying to save up a load of cash.
Temptations are there, but really trying.

Hang in there….I know it’s hard. In the end, you’ll have saved and can get something you really need/want. Good luck!

I got Ultimate the first few months it came out and then just went back to Plus. I’ve always been happier with my Plus boxes then any of the 4 Ultimate boxes I got.

I’m just not seeing the value in Ultimate. I think I’ve skipped 4 months in a row. There’s no real WOW factor.
Reply
Elizabeth
This is pathetic. I think I’ll just take the Plus this month. The only thing here that looks mildly interesting is the serum, and I believe that’s also in the Plus. Besides, the bag is horrid.

I still don’t see this box as 50.00 worth…

Angel
I don’t think it is either. I cancelled mine. They don’t even have cute bags anymore. It feels like the same products over and over, and the brands definitely aren’t high-end. I’d rather have less cheap filler items, in exchange for a smaller bag item count of more premium items.

These 3 spoilers are so poor, i’m considering skipping one month again and again. It’s not worth the $50, FFF sent me a gorgeous box for -$10 discount code

Maybe this won’t be as bad as it seems. I’m not super hopeful, but I already paid for the month and can’t skip again so I’m getting it either way lol.

Same!!!! This will be my first Ultimate box as I signed up towards the middle of May and was told I wouldn’t get a box until July. This bag looks like a lunchbox. 🤦 I’m hoping it’s good or I may just cancel it and go back to the regular and Plus box!!

Why can’t you skip again? Is there a limit?
Reply
Kim
I had signed up and paid 5/1 and was told may was sold out and I’d get June, then I hated the June spoilers and asked to skip till July and they said they could as a one time thing. Me having already paid for the month is something their system isn’t designed to deal with. If you have a regular subscription I think you can skip forever

Sunday Riley auto correct, good genes lactic acid, ceo glow and power couple are all half off on view your deal.

What is view your deal?

It’s sort of like GMA deals for good morning America but it’s for the view. It’s just view your deal – Sunday Riley dot com. The products ship directly from Sunday Riley.

So two brands I’ve never heard of and a black eyeliner. I’ll pass.

Awake is a newly featured brand. Their lip mask is FANTASTIC! I’m excited to try more from them.

I agree. I use it every single night. Almost about to run out. Will have to buy more soon!!

Um… we waited for spoilers for how long and then… this? I guess I’ll wait for choice but I see another skip in my near future…

Hard pass.
Unless the choice wows me, I’ll be skipping for the 3rd month in a row.
Anyone else buy sets from the pop up sale?
I got three sets totalling $50 and I’m calling that my June bag 🤗

Definitely skipping. Sigh…

Unless choice is outstanding for me, I’ll probably be skipping Ultimate again. I’m being very careful with my money.

I hope the eyeshadow sticks are included in the add ons. With COVID19, my routine has changed so much and I learned to love the ease and everyday value of these.
Would Tarte be a duplicate item for this tier? I know I bought it in the last 2 months as an add on for $12.
Reply

The Tarte eyeliner was in April’s GBP. I was reminded of this because I gave mine to one of my daughter’s friends last night! (I keep the items I won’t use in old birchbox boxes with the date on them so I can evaluate just how many things I get that are wasted on me for one reason or another. Then I let my kids’ friends go through them periodically and take whatever they want.)
