I’d love to get a mascara. September will be my 8th bag. I have gotten 5 black eyeliners a green eyeliner(I can’t do top lash eyeliner it’ll look like chicken poop if I try) still have yet to get a mascara. Unchecked eyeliner this month so feeling hopeful

I love mascaras and eyeliners, haha…xD I go threw them pretty quickly. I also love skin care items and lip products, which ipsy has been sending me an okay amount of too. I’m happy with most things ipsy sends~ 😛 I just don’t really care for highlighters since I own a lot and they will last me forever~

I still haven’t received my Ipsy Bag this month and, according to FedEx, it was “out for delivery” on the 13th. Is anyone else still missing their August bag?

I never received my August bag either!

Contact Ipsy Customer Service. They are sending me a replacement. I really wish Ipsy would use UPS instead of FedEx Surepost. I have read on other sites that FedEx Surepost has a lot of problems with packages and parcels not making it to the destinations. It has something to do with the FedEx and USPS systems not being compatible with each other.

Really? I’ve had two bags come. As in the first one was messed up so they shipped a second one. And you still haven’t gotten one?!
Reply
Karen
Nope. The original bag never came. I contacted Ipsy customer service and they are sending a second bag. Hopefully, I get this one.
Pamela Huff
I had not received mine until yesterday, I sent them an email and they were super nice. Said they would ship out another one free of charge.. I really liked how they responded with such positivity. Also I signed up for tracking the shipment each month.

You should email FedEx customer service~ 😮 It’s been so long since the 13th…
Reply
Karen
I did. They told me to contact my post office because Ipsy uses FedEx SurePost which utilizes USPS as the final delivery agent. If that is the case I might be out of luck for my August Ipsy because my postal carrier is not good at all. My Ipsy bag may have been delivered to another address 🙁

Still waiting for my August bag also. Expected delivery date was changed from the 19th to the 24th….tracking has been painfully slow. I’ve never got a delivery this late (this is my 5th month, I think) in the month and its disappointing. Already starting to wonder what will be in my Sept bag!

Aw man, I just bought a full-sized Too Faced Lip Injection and I’m not a fan of eyeliners or mascaras.

I’m more exited about Boxycharm pallete next month with all due respect to ipsy.

I’m thinking about going with Boxy too! I already skipped this month’s bag and nothing is catching my eye with next month for Ipsy or Birchbox. 🙁

I really want the Too faced lip product. I would perfer the IT mascara over the eyeliner and the eyeliner over the Tart mascara.

I really want to try the eyeliner. I have gotten so many samples right now of mascara that I just don’t know what I would do with another. LOL!!

Mark the things you don’t want and thsts what you will get lol. Because I don’t mark lip or eyes and all I get are lipsticks lip balms and eyeliner but mostly lip! I don’t use any lip products normally lol

I was wondering how this worked. I really want the Too Faced Lip Injection!! It seems I always get the opposite of what I have selected in my preferences..

anyone else having problems with their bag getting at the end of the month? Mine is expected on the 27! It’s so dissapointing since the fun thing about getting a monthly subscription is getting it before the month is over. Also everyone else I know have received theirs. I love Ipsy but will cancel if this keeps going on. Thank you for any info anyone can give me.

I got my bag by the 12th last month and I used points this month and it still says it hasn’t shipped, everyday I log in, it says expected ship date is the next day. I’ve used points before and it always ends up coming later, but this is really late! I live in Canada so I probably won’t see it until September.
Reply
Monica
Mine hasn’t been shipped yet and I usually get it early. I read somewhere if you use your points it could take longer. This is my first time to use points so I’m hoping that is the case.
Reply
Sun
Mine’s always delayed when I use points too, but my bag was delayed a bit this month anyway.
KC
Oh, I am still waiting on mine and usually have it in hand by the 12th or so. Thanks for the points tip, I did use mine for the first time, as well. That explains the delay.
Airian
Thank you for letting me know, I did use my points this month. This is my second time using points and my first time getting it so late, I got it after mid moth last time. I wrote them a message three days ago but no response yet. Everyone I know have already received theirs.
Stephanie M.
Yes. I haven’t gotten mine yet this month either.

I am not excited for any eye products, too many lately. Need to take a break from Ipsy for awhile.

This looks like 50% of my August bag (only difference is there is no IT 12 in 1 or blender sponge). Hope I don’t get repeats.
Crossing fingers.

Of course. Mascara and black eyeliner. If it’s not waterproof then not interested. Want lip stuff. I just got tarte in August from BB. Underwhelmed

I got that Tarte mascara last month too, it was so thick and caked onto the stem of the brush that it’s not even really usable, unless I feel like plucking a billion clumps off after I apply it.
Reply
Cassie Carter
Nikky, try adding a few drops of contact solution to the mascara. That might help to thin it out a little. I’ve done that to other mascaras, and it’s helped.
Amy
I wouldn’t mind getting 3 out of the 4 things that are in this spoiler list.
Lip injection would be my first choice though. => I love Ipsy!
I really hope the September bag will be as cute as August, though that will be really hard to do in my book!

I finally figured out to get a waterproof mascara top coat to get more use out of my stash of non waterproof mascara. NYX and Anastasia make one.

Ulta brand makes one too.

I actually want that TARTE mascara but i need to see what else we may get before I resubscribe plus this months august bag is going to be hard to top…

Angela
Yes! The August bag was amazing 🙂

I got that mascara this month and didn’t like it. The bristles were very pokey and the applicator didn’t screw out making it too thick and awkward to wipe off.

Dear Ipsy (and all beauty boxes),
Not everyone wants to look like Elvira! Not everyone wants black eyes! Some of us have light colored eyes! Some of us want colors in our boxes, just like a box of crayons!
Fondly,
Donna

Ugh! Mascara and eyeliners are taking over my apartment! I have a drawer full of both, and I don’t need anymore! I guess it’s my fault for continuing to subscribe to all these beauty boxes, but I just can’t cancel. I am too afraid I’ll miss out on something great! lol

Does anyone know if there is a way to put your ipsy account on hold? Or do you have to cancel and then resubscribe? I’m just not feeling these spoilers.

If you cancel it doesn’t delete your account or any points you have acquired. Just sign back up when your ready and it will still be there.

Playing it safe and cancelled for next month. I really do not want or need a mascara or eyeliner.

Same here. It’s overkill lately and unoriginal.

EXACTLY all I’ve been getting in all my subs plus the stupid thermal spring water, face oils and sea salt sprays. I’ve been giving half my stuff away I don’t need or want those items.

Hope this is a mistake. Why so many mascaras?? With my luck, considering I just got an eyeliner in August’s box, And got a Smashbox mascara back in my May box. So with 2 available this month, I would guess according to Ipsy, I am probably due a new Mascara. I think I may want to cancel this Month’s Ipsy to head them off from sending me another Mascara. What will happen to my points if I do cancel? will they expire, or will they be put back once I re-subscribe? Anyone know??
Reply
Sun
Most of the mascara samples are tiny; so if I actually wore mine every day they’d get used up. The samples I love do get used up quickly. I don’t mind trying lots of them, but when I find my favorite then I’ll be bummed right along with you. I love ipsy because they give a lot of make up and polish-the fun stuff! That does mean there will often be mascara because it’s one of the everyday basics like lipcolor/gloss/balm, blush, shadow and liner…then for the extras: powder, highlighter, bronzer, and fake lashes. It makes sense there will be a lot of repeats. I do wish I could get a nice lip color every month though!
Morgan
I got smashbox in May, black colourpop in June, black thrive “waterproof” in July, Tarte mascara and beauty for real black eyeliner in August lol. They’ll get used but I have enough to last a year now.
Von
You won’t be able to use your points when you unsubscribe but will resume when you resub. I had that happened when I unsub and resub. I think because they will only ship it along with a glambag and not by itself.
Lorraine
Mine expired last time I put ,y account on hold.
Yesmy
Annie your points will stay and you resubscribe they will still there
Shannon
I have SO MANY mascaras from Ipsy! I have really liked them all, but I’d prefer a lip product this time.
