How many product categories have you guys been able to opt out of? I’ve heard a lot of people say 3 but when I asked to opt out of a 3rd they told me I can only do 2

I feel like they changed it from 3 to 2 – maybe because more people are emailing them nowadays. I could’ve sworn months ago when we first caught wind of it, it was up to 3, but I spoke with them just yesterday and they said 2 as well.

How do you speak to them?

How do you guys select specific items in your bags? I don’t see that option anywhere when I log in to my account.

CatBert, email [email protected] with your choice from the list above, by April 30. You will likely get a reply back pretty quick.

Hey, it worked! They replied very fast.
I am curious though, where do you guys see the list of items we can pick from?

Ipsy looks like it’s gotten pretty good since I canceled. Just got rid of sephora play, so maybe I’ll sign back up for this!

Amber, I also cancelled my Sephora Play! Bag. I have been so disappointed with the last two. Ipsy has had been spot on with their bags, excellent job choosing products that fit my skin needs.

May will be first Ipsy bag…so with the spoilers, and the guaranteed products listed, we will get 5 of them? and our bags will all vary, I’m assuming…? I chose the Briogeo Hair Milk for my choice and CS said yes to that..:)

I requested the Pacifica and opted out brows and hi liters.

Fyi, the Caked Lip Fondant is in shade Low Key (and doesn’t look like what’s shown). It’s more of a pink/red/coral mixture – hard to explain haha, but it’s nice. Just sucks I already have it 🙁

The Gimmie Brow is my favorite. I ended up buying the full size.
Reply
Nicole
I bought one of the Gimme Brows because I’d been wanting to try it since the redesign and unfortunately didn’t get one in my first Birchbox (my first box was the month they featured the Gimme Brow as a sample choice item) and nobody else had done it as a sample product. I have enjoyed it. If ipsy sends me that this month, I’ll either keep it for travel use or give it to a relative.

I heard the compact was only to redeem with points…. Not a sample product to choose. Do you know if this is the case?
Reply
Geena
You can’t choose it, it will just be in bags.

I really want the Jelly Pong Pong. There packaging is so cute.
Reply
Jennifer
Cute package. Horrible product. I have got things from them a couple times now (one was even at my request) but just no.. if you are used to high end product you’ll see what I’m talking about.. its like dollar store makeup.. I do hope for you though that this will prove me wrong!

Requested the Pacifica Island Life Eyeshadow Palette, or if that wasn’t available some other sort of eye palette or brow product. I heard back almost immediately that the palette would be in my bag. I’m just hoping now that I’ll also get the Gimme Brow, since I mentioned a brow product to them…. 🙂

I hope I get everything that’s in that picture except the brush. I think I’m good on brushes next month. I do want everything else. Lol

Didn’t Ipsy used to give previews of the bag itself? Now you can’t see it until the 1st of the month.

Charlotte
I would love the Estee Lauder make-up and the mellow lipstick. Also anything I can try for the eyebrows. I have plenty brushes and mascara.
Blush too. I dont like bronzers or highlighters.
I get these way to often.
Thanks for listening!!

Charlotte, you can email Ipsy [email protected] and request one item for May- do it now- before April 30.
You can also request to NOT have up to 2 types of items in your bag, such as brushes and mascara, or blush- pick he 2 you like least. Again you NEED to email
You have to email ipsy, not comment on the thread. They don’t see your comments here. Email them at [email protected] that way you can get your item selected! 😉
