Ipsy Subscription Updates! Glam Bag + Glam Bag Plus Price Changes

I don’t know if anyone else feels this way, but I am so much happier with Macy’s box than Ipsy (actually, Macy’s is my favorite!) The products are REAL, LEGIT companies. I love that they send a tool or bag every month also. I have used every bag from them, as opposed to those silly bags from Ipsy. I just love the bag they sent this month. Sorry IPSY, you were fun, but no.

Too bad their products aren’t worth the price increase. I’d consider keeping it if they had better brands, but it’s not worth it for the occasional awesome product.

Does anyone know if it is possible to still get the Glam Bag X if you have cancelled all of the other bags?

Are you able to skip a bag w/ Glam Bag plus on the annual sub? I know with the reg glam bag you can’t skip. Any help is appreciated. Thank you!

When I go to upgrade my Plus membership, I get the following: “You’re upgrading at a special rate. After a year, your membership will automatically renew yearly for $300. Cancel anytime.”

So I guess it’s not really locking in the rate, but giving you a discount for this upcoming year only? That’s a huge bummer, so maybe I won’t.

I canceled again. The last few months have been the same types of products – which I normally love, but am already tired of receiving. I think the personalization has been pretty good this time around, but I don’t want to pay more for these brands.

I am not renewing because the price increase made me realize that I didn’t actually want the crap samples that I was being sent. I wouldn’t want them at my old price of $11 because I never wound up using them. I hate small sample sizes because they just produce clutter – are often difficult to use – are wasteful in terms of packaging and aren’t really enough for me to decide whether I like.

I am keeping my “subscription” to Plus because I just cancel most months when the spoilers come out. Very rarely are there products which are intriguing enough for me to unpause my subscription. I don’t care if it is $28 or $25 because I would only be getting it if there was something that was at least worth it to me to try because I knew I could use it or it was intriguing enough for me to want to try out.

Yeah, I’ve cancelled.

I’ve always been pretty happy with my bags (and I love the bags themselves), but I was already skipping August (didn’t love the product spoilers) and September (didn’t love the bag spoilers), and the price increase announcement, while small, made me realize that I’m done with ipsy for a while. I’ve just got so much stuff.

Having said that, I still think ipsy is a better value at $13 than Birchbox for $15.

I have seriously been considering canceling, so the timing of this is interesting. I have subscribed for many years, & have had numerous issues. (Empty products, leaking items, missing items, etc) My August bag was extremely problematic, and I’m out of patience. This price increase (although really not a lot of money) might be the wake-up call I’ve needed to finally unsubscribe.

I haven’t subscribed to really anything in probably a year. I keep this sub, but I pause it every month. I just want access to the sales lol.

Well, I will definitely be unsubscribing to the regular bag. And only keeping plus if I have more items to choose from. This is a bad move for them. I think a lot of people will unsubscribe. All the sub boxes have gone down hill. Boxy, allure etc.. I only sub to 2 boxes now and I used to sub to 11.

I subscribed to Ipsy for years and it was a nice monthly treat to myself. At the beginning, the GBP bags I received had at least one hero item, but lately none of their spoilers interest me and the good items that used to be included in the Plus bag, are now reserved for Glam Bag X. I’ve been skipping both my subscriptions (regular and plus) for the last 4 months and now this price increase pushed me to cancel both. An extra $4 might not be much, but if one of these months I forget to skip, I’ll be charged close to $50 for two bags full of products I don’t need or want.
Ipsy, it was a fun ride.

If…IF the “trending items…more personalization” allowed us to pick ALL of our items, then it would be worth it. But I’m dreaming! So..wonder what the more personalization actually means. I have enough Mascara to curl and lengthen every hair on a pack of poodles! AND a GIGANTIC Amount of Highlighters that could be seen from below the ocean depths! Send me some new innovative products and brands or something I can actually use!

well..i knew it was a matter of time..i guess boxycharm will go up as well now..if that’s the case i will cancel or skip alot of months..not going to pay money for products i don’t need or want..

I must have 6 months of Ipsy sitting on my dresser and I haven’t even opened them. I also get a Candle Bath Bomb subscription Fragrant Jewels and I Love it so much. The rings are so cute and I wear them everywhere. You need to review them. I can’t wait for Halloween.

Keeping base for now. Haven’t had the best luck with Ipsy algorithm lately.

I subscribe to Plus off & on, sometimes canceling altogether, sometimes just skipping. I feel like I’ll definitely be skipping more often with this price increase. BUT I also see myself potentially purchasing more of the full-size products in add-ons, rather than trying to gamble on getting a particular spoiler item in a bag.

I think it’s time for me to unsuscribe. I’m in Canada and 13$ +2,95$(shipping) for 5 sample size it’s a lot. Plus, we can not buy Ipsy offer, ipsy pop-up, we can not get glam bag + either. The only thing we can get it’s add-ons. Of course i don’t think we can buy the annual plan. Can’t see it anywhere. Bye Ipsy. There’s no avantage to be a loyal customer. If i suscribe/unsuscribe and resuscribe i will get more free gift! And get more for my money…

I agree…prices going up and products going down..I’m out too..so long.

I am going to upgrade to annual and revaluate after the year is up. I’ve been getting the GBP since January and have been enjoying my bags. I don’t know of any other box that allows you to pick 3/5 items and for me, that actually match my profile. Maybe I have low standards 🤣

I’ve been debating canceling Ipsy for a while, and it looks like this will be what pushes me to finally do it. Too bad, it used to be a really special treat for me. Now it’s just “stuff.”

RIP is right. Plus was good for the first couple of boxes only. They promised luxe brands, but I only got Sunday Riley once, while other people got several SR items. The Fenty was glow into outer space SHOCKING Pink – just awful on me. I have been telling myself to cancel each month if the luxe factor doesn’t go back up, just have been lazy about it. Pulling the trigger now..

I’ve been on the fence about IPSY. Sometimes you get decent items and other times it’s a crap shoot. I also don’t like that you have to be subscribed to Glam Bag or Glam Bag Plus to get Glam Bag X. I was going to give it until December to see if it was worth it to re subscribe. I really can’t justify spending $132 a year plus $55 every couple of months on the kind of things that IPSY sends. After December. I will not be re subscribing. Goodbye, pink boxes!

Yeah- no. Looks like its finally time to switch to BoxyCharm. For $12 more, I can get 5 FULL SIZE products that I get good use of, have good value, and I can actually look forward to. RIP, Ipsy.

I had already changed to every other month because I was pretty dissatisfied with the selection/size/quality of items in a Glam Bag, but charging extra for the same stuff? No thanks.
Maybe I’m irritated by the products because I previously switched to a Glam Bag Plus, and now I’m back to the original? Full size items are REALLY nice to receive, but not cost effective.
It’d make sense to spend ($1) more if they threw in more full-size item surprises – or sent MORE items.
I was really on the fence about quitting (mostly because it’s nice to be able to buy from the add-ons and specials), but I think this will be it.
I’ve ‘collected’ enough makeup supplies to last until I’m 100…so sad. I used to really enjoy Ipsy.
One thing I really enjoyed was when the bags were designed by various artists. It was so cool to be able to have a unique bag – now they’re a little too ‘meh’

So they merge ,service ,quality goes down ,price goes up, lucky if you get the bag in the same month this makes no sense!!! Any other makeup/skincare subscription you’ll recommend let me know.
