After seeing the bag reveal, I have to say I’m happy with my August bag! Which is awesome because I wasn’t thrilled with the July bag (but I did love my add ons! Now I just need it to get here…)

Does ipsy do anything if you get a duplicate item in plus and ultimate? I have the same item coming in both bags plus getting a palette in the ultimate sub that I received in plus already.

They used to. Now that you choose your plus items, they may not. Email them and let us know!

I didn’t get ultimate but did sign up this month for the other two tiers. I will say 70% of these products seem pretty unique to ultimate and not available in add-one as I would definitely have paid extra to try the CBD and silver face mask. I think GPB with the new pick 3 and budgeting $25 for add-ons vs $50 and Ipsy picks all but 1 seems like it could be a better deal.

Your math sounds right to me LJ! I didn’t get any add-ons for my Plus this month, but your suggestion works well financially and also in terms of not drowning in product. With Plus and add-ons, you get to pick all except two of your products from a nice selection. And have a great chance of avoiding a black eyeliner, which seems pretty standard for Ultimate.

I won’t list my full bag here, since they’ll all be pretty similar, but I got all the items I was most excited about:
–Nomad palette (never got last time around but always wanted it)
— Sunday Riley (my pick and made this month worth it, otherwise I’d skip)
— Complex Culture brush (YES! LOVE these, want the whole set plus back ups, haha)
Everything else is a bonus and matched my profile as well as possible with the products shown. I love IPSY!
If anyone has any feedback on any of the products this month, I’d love to hear it! I don’t recognize many of them.

I could have written this, as those were also my top 3 most-wanted products too! I am thrilled that I received them! If not for the Sunday Riley CEO serum, I would have skipped this month. That is the only product of the lot that I have tried and I know it works well for me. The brush gets good feedback on this site, as does the Nomad eyeshadow. I am also hopeful about the 111skin, the perfume, and the Payot Paris creme, which I am also receiving. I hope you enjoy your bag! I personally chose the Ultimate over the Plus this month and have no regrets!
