I emailed the cs rep and told them I really didn’t like any of the spoilers she sent me this list

–belif Cosmetics The true cream – aqua bomb
–Juliette Has a Gun Not A Perfume
–sundays Nail Polish in No. 28
–Labotica Honey & Bamboo Skin Soft Mask Set
–Paula Dorf Cosmetics Mini Universal Brow Pencil in Taupe

Still though it just seems like a boring month and I’m not to into the bag so I decided to skip for August.

They sent me a different list based on my likes but the perfume was on it. Or should I say not a perfume lol.Thats what I requested even though I already have it can always use more. I didn’t like anything else kinda worried.

Just got a full size of the Josie Maran foundation and it’s great for a dewy look on dry skin. Can be powdered and set with no lines!

I requested the hikari bronzer/blush and was told I WILL be getting it.

I love the bag and all the spoilers except The Balm which will probably be what the majority of us will receive. I love Ipsy but I sure wish they would stop sending The Balm products. It seems I get something by The Balm in every other bag. Other than that, this bag looks cool. I just love the pink! I loved Gudetama too! What cute bags!

you can email them at [email protected] and resist no the balm products. They was always sending me nail polishes then I emailed them and they stopped sending them.

I love that brand. Give me all The Balm!

When I emailed to opt out of brushes and skin care they emailed me back inviting me to choose an item from first list. I was like no thank you I just opted out of half that list. They emailed me back with another list and it had 2 the balm eyeshadows the one they are showing and a tan one. I chose perfume so hopefully I don’t get one!

Linda

There is a perfume sample this month?! We can choose? What’s the name of it? TIA

butterdaisy

Don’t care for this pink bag bc I don’t like pink at all, but I will give it away. I always request an item to be sure there is something in the bag I know I’ll love. That said I’ve never been disappointed with my items so far, so am pleased with Ipsy so far. I’m pretty picky too, LOL. I requested the Sundays nail polish bc I’m a nail girl!

how do you go about requesting items

Reply ButtonReply

Linda

They already lost one of my Ipsy bags this month and haven’t yet received my other two. I’ve only been a subscriber since May of this year and I’ve already had three separate, but distinct, incidents with their shipping, damaged goods, overbilling, etc. If something happens to these other two bags and the offer I bought today, I already signed up for BoxyCharm and I’m already a member to the Benevolent VIP Beauty Box. I probably won’t miss Ipsy that much, though I’m waiting on a points item for one bag this month. I give Ipsy one or two more months, and then I’m deciding to keep or cancel. And then I signed up for ONE MONTH ONLY of a BOGO deal of BB. I wouldn’t normally sign up for that, but a free box is just that. Then I’ll immediately cancel. There are a lot of good boxes out there, like Petit Vour, Vegan Cuts, etc. etc. that can get my business, too. They’re a large enough company to get their act together. And please…. get the Ipsy Shopper available to everyone, huh? — Your other local contrarian

If you’re a new subscriber, why would you have bought three bags without seeing how you like it?

These spoilers look so good! I would love to get this bag as is:). If anyone here gets the CROWN Brush and would like to trade, let me know! I have a bunch of stuff (eyeshadows from OFRA/citi color, Primers/ skin care products like scrubs and finishing balms you could choose ) from Ipsy and Sephora Play boxes sitting with me !!

Angie T

Will definitely keep that in mind if I receive it!

I am considering requesting one of the bushes but I know nothing about either brand! Has anyone tried either of these brands or brushes? If so I would love to hear your opinion and thoughts!

I have both kinds of brushes, and here is the not-so-simple answer. The Crown Brushes I have gotten from Ipsy are almost always AMAZING! They all have the black handle and look like the one pictured above. However I got an ipsy offer a couple years ago for a teal set of Crown Brushes for $20, and they were terrible! They were called a pro set but did not pick up makeup well, and the handles came apart. The good thing about that set was the cute teal wrap case. I have 3 SLmissglam brushes, and the 2 with handles pictured above are pretty good, especially the blending brush! I got the one they did with Lisa Frank, but that one had floppy and poorly cut bristles that didn’t pick up blush. Based on the images above, I’d say both the Crown Brush and SLmissglam are great choices!

I am a fan of the SLMissglam brushes. They are beautiful and love the quality.

Just keep in mind the brush on first list will be teal and not the color shown. T35 is teal.

Teresa

Honestly I have a mixture of both brands for brushes, and they are both amazing

Wow! That bag design is really cute!

I wonder how teeny tiny that foundation will be considering full size is 1 oz for $45!

I’ve honestly been very surprised by some of the sample sizes. Sometimes they are nearly full sized and yes, this includes expensive stuff.

I want to email them but i don’t know how to say/word it out. What do I say?

Reply ButtonReply

Lisa

I just say that I am requesting (the one you want) to be included in my Aug glam bag. A few days later you should get a response. Also ask them about the option to opt out of a specific category. Like you can opt out of hair care. That’s what I did

Reply ButtonReply

Lisa

When I do it I email I select ipsymatch option and say I saw some spoilers and I would like…. and say which spoiler you would like. I always choose from first list but I dont like any this time. Some have been lucky choosing from 2nd or 3rd but not always.

Bonnie

I love both the Gudetama and now the Good Vibes bag. Positive/Good Vibes Only is slogan I adore and have other things with that on them. I’m concerned about getting the foundation because of shade – Often these types of things are too light for me and too dark for everyone else on here.

And I really love how everytime MSA puts up another spoiler, you remind everyone what else was already revealed. Way to make this easier for people.

Reply ButtonReply

Brittany

I do like most of the spoilers so far for August. The bag could be better without words but it still looks frilly and cute (and I love the Gudetama bag too lol).
I am changing it up and requesting an item. My last two bags were fairly low in value maybe this will change it up for me or maybe not! Hesitant to try a foundation with oil since my skin is very oily and I live in Texas heat. Looks like an interesting month though.

So far I have only received one dud this year from ipsy, it was last month’s but for me it seems like every time I request one of the items that are up for grabs my bag is amazing, last month was the first time I didn’t choose an item (I just forgot) and I hated almost everything I got in my bag. I have been pretty happy with them so far this year. Sephora Play has been sort of a hit or miss the first maybe 6 months was great but it’s really fallen off for me lately.
🙁

I agree, Ipsy has really stepped up their game this year! There are 2 (sometimes 3!) products I love every month since we are able to choose an item. And for $10 a month, i’m very happy if I really like 2 items. I can’t think of the last time I’ve really liked 2 items from Glossybox or Play by Sephora. Conversely, when I started choosing the curated boxes from Birchbox, they were better than when I was selecting an item. Ipsy seems to try to focus on our preferences more this year and some of their bags are just adorable! There is always an Ipsy bag holding my makeup in my purse.

And one for my tampons, and on for my sunglasses, and one for my allergy/headache meds. They come in really handy for containing small things that you want to protect from the purse avalanche.

JennGwen

Was just about to launch into a rant about August spoilers being out (AND getting my July Allure box) before even knowing what was in my July box, but I finally got my list today. So far the spoilers look promising. I don’t mind the bag, seeing as how Good Vibes is a running joke at work. Still hoping and wondering when the Colourpop options are arriving

Reply ButtonReply

Lisa

I only like the foundation. I am glad I opted out of skin care well cleansers and moisturizers plus brushes . Ipsy has been too skin care heavy. I did not request anything from the first list. A little birdy told me that there will also be 2 the balm eye shadows brown and tan but you didn’t hear that from me.

I canceled BB, Play! & Ipsy, so last week when I was reviewing my remaining subs I realised that majority of them are skincare emphasis.

Where’s the makeup?!

As much as I liked the IDEA of Ipsy, most of what I really liked from their bags was the skincare since the makeup was hit or miss (& MISS.) Unless their offerings or ability to choose selections radically changes, this will be my last bag from Ipsy.

The bag is just a bonus for me. As long as the products are good then it’s always a win. 😃

Reply ButtonReply

Ashley

I agree! The bag is a bonus, this one is actually one of the better bags in 2017. Really cute tbh. August spoilers all seem safe to me. I requested the liquid eyeliner because I’ve never heard of the brand and want to try out something new. Last time I got a liquid eyeliner (EM Cosmetics) back in April I ended up loving it and purchased 3 more!
July’s bag hasn’t arrived yet but it was def a dud for me.
So after July’s bag… August is looking good to me, I’m excited!

LOVE the bag! It is funny how everyone either totally hates it or absolutely loves it, but that’s how I feel about this month’s bag I think the egg doesn’t go with make up at all! I really hope I get the Josie Maran foundation, that’s my favorite spoiler so far.

Reply ButtonReply

Funmy I emailed them a week ago asking if they will be featuring any Josie maran or trust fund beauty products for August and they told me no. Must of changed their mind. I’m not happy with Ipsy at the moment. I paid on the first And still cannot see whats in my glam bag. Also seems like anytime I email ipsycare anymore I get a verbatim response. Don’t get me wrong I know that they are super busy but they are falling off the pedestal I put them on lol

JuJu

I will follow the recommendation I’ve seen a bunch of times on here and not request any specific items. 🙂
My bag RV is terrific this month, but I am receiving almost nothing I’d actually want. It’s not all about the RV. Hopefully August will be better.

I always find it funny how different all of our tastes are here – I’m totally for Gudetama and not into this bag at all! But isn’t it impressive how they’re actually covering all their bases? We can luckily always swap our unwanted bags for wanted ones and each person thinks they’re getting the best deal in the world 😉

Reply ButtonReply

Angie T

Same!! I think this bag and the text is kind of tacky. Although, I think the colours are very pretty. Just wish it was solid. Gudetama is the cutest, though! Either way, i’m only really in it for the makeup- but the bags are a nice addition!

Luna

That’s what I enjoy so much about MSA… reading all of the commenters’ differing opinions. Just now, I posted that I really liked the latest Allure Thrills box, despite the repeats, and someone had just posted while I was typing my comment, how they didn’t like it because of it including a ton of repeats. 😀 I think the differing tastes & opinions add to the flavor of MSA. 🙂

I don’t understand why everything has to have some kind of inspirational/motivational/punny phrase stamped on it. This bag would be so cute as is without a giant “good vibes only” stamped across it.

Anyway – I cancelled Play! and am waiting to get this month’s Ipsy before cancelling that too (I traded in points so I want to make sure I get that item). I signed up for Boxycharm to replace the two for the time being!

Angie

I did the same! I just cancelled my play and ipsy……after seeing everyone’s boxycharm the last few months I was hooked!!!! Next month a full size tarte palette 🙂 So excited!

vanessa

Totally agree, Amber! The bag itself was pretty without cheesy sayings across it.

All I can think about is the recent Honey adult box review I read the other day. Good vibes now has a completely different meaning :/

Beth

Agreed! That was the biggest thing that bugged me about Play, too–words on bags are a lot more hit or miss than plain old visuals!

Probably the same reason BB is GIVING away boxes…. 😒
