Ipsy and Boxycharm Merge Subscriptions to Create “Ultimate Beauty Membership”

Why is it that I am being charged for boxy, charm and ipsy but only receiving one box

Body Charm, by itself, was fantastic but since joining Ipsy, it’s awful. I would rather have my money a month and buy an actual full size item that isn’t junk or no namers than a lot of this stuff. I would never seek these products that I’m receiving at a very disgustingly packed box. Products arrive broken from their packaging regularly vs Boxy Charms quality and impressive foam packaging with care. Upon opening, you felt pampered immediately where as it feels Ipsy stuffs it in your mailbox like garbage and when you open it, it looks like the quality of dumpster diving at a Walgreens going out of business.
Then there’s the actual products. This month, no cap as the kids would say now, I got to choose my products and one of many “who’s that products” was an upcoming teen who wants to spread love with glitter eyeshadow. I mean that’s sweet and all, but for the amount of money we spend a month. We want deals on name brand skin care or beauty products that we know or trust. Not celebrity kohls style or some persons nephew that just busted out their first glitter stick. Or maybe that’s just me.

Since they were bought out the boxes are filled with failed brands, the choose your items link doesn’t work and frankly, the quality of items sent are very poor. I loved boxycharm until Ipsy took it over. You don’t get what you order from the sales, then they don’t have any left when you inquire about it. The pricing on the sales jumped really high as well. I left Ipsy for boxycharm for a reason now I’m just done with it all.

I’m so unhappy about the merger & really going to miss my Glam Bag Plus along with the bag too! Ive been a longtime subscriber to both but have been skipping the last few months of my usually disappointing with no attention paid to personalization/beauty quiz preferences month after month & what I feel has been a decline in quality of brands offered, overuse of brands, repeat items with Boxycharm. I had planned to keep my membership on hold for the holidays because I do like the edit sales but was definitely quitting. So now, I just ‘quit’ Boxy through my ipsy app which has now been connected. However, by doing this I have to give up my ipsy Glam Bag X (soon to be Icon Box) subscription as it’s required in order to get it quarterly. I just wish they hadn’t replaced the Glam Bag Plus with in my opinion the inferior option, essentially a Boxycharm base because the Glam Bag Plus offered a much better experience overall with personalization, brands offered, including a selection that not only offered more current & less tired picks but a better ROI return on investment for subscribers. Hopefully they will bring it in the coming months as I’d love to have that type of option again and also the Glam Bag X (Icon) as well but from the previews/spoilers I have seen for the launch, I got the sense that for now, it’s still a Boxycharm experience- hoping for the best as I do realize that together there’s a lot of potential. Fingers crossed and just keeping my little ipsy Glam Bag subscription for now.

So long as they ditch Boxy’s “You will fill out a preferences survey and we will ignore it” system, it might be worth watching.

I only occasionally get the regular glam bag but like shopping the sales on both sites. The (hopefully) larger selection in one place could be nice.

BoxyCharm subscribers have access to and add-on, but no longer have access to the mega drop shop. That stinks. If you want access to it, you have to get Ipsy too. I’m out. That’s the final straw. The mega drop shop has been losing luster lately anyway.

Does anyone know how they are going to handle charms? I have a bunch but there’s nothing in the charm room that I want.

Does anyone know how they will handle annual subscriptions for both boxycharm & ipsy? The FAQs say that if you have ipsy plus and boxycharm base it will be combined into a single subscription. What if you have prepaid annual accounts with both? Or if you have prepaid boxycharm base, boxycharm premium, and ipsy plus – how many boxes will you get and how will you access them?

Wish they would include the regular cute ipsy bag with the Glam plus soon to be Boxycharm sub. Still looking forward to the positive merger changes.

I don’t love this merge because I really like to stock up some months by subscribing to both plus and boxy. So only having access to one is not great for me

I don’t think this was a surprise to anyone and also don’t think it will be a huge change considering all the products were starting to be repeated in Boxy and Ipsy. But I am hoping the DropShop will not change in the sense that it’s available to Canadians with semi-reasonable shipping and the Ipsy shop does not ship to Canada. We only JUST got access to Glam Bag Plus and X last month. So as long as Canadians still get access to the shops with reasonable shipping, I am okay with this merge.

It makes sense to actually merge given the repeat products between Ipsy & Boxy. This is utterly confusing to me though. Maybe it’s because I haven’t had Boxy in a few years, but the Beauty Boost doesn’t make sense to me. While the drawstring bags aren’t my favorite, I have subbed on and off to + when there is a cute bag. I’ve had my + on hold a couple months for financial reasons, but I’ll make sure to actually cancel now. I’m happy that the base bag isn’t going anywhere! I look forward to it every month!

Oh this will be great!! Fewer subs but as an IPSY customer, I get access to the Boxy sales which are killer! Love it
