Geez, never would I have thought that the Estee Lauder lipstick I requested with my points would turn out to be not a deluxe size, but a single application (if that) in a tiny foil packet…

This is what I’ll be getting in my October Ipsy bag.

-Urban Decay
24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencil in Perversion

I use eyeliners all the time so this is always a plus, although I tend to lean towards liquid eyeliners.

-MAKE UP FOR EVER
Ultra HD Invisible Cover Foundation

I suppose I should be excited for this but I already have foundation and the size of this will probably be super small sooo meh.

-First Aid Beauty
Ultra Repair® Cream

I’m not too excited about this but I have heard people say that it’s a good brand so we’ll see.

MEECH AND MIA
Loose Eyeshadow in Purple or Beige

-Yes! Hopefully it’s in purple, I love getting eye shadows but the majority of the time i get browns including last month’s bag, but I updated my profile sooo hopefully!

-Pretty Woman
Nail Polish in Wine With Ice, Garçon

I like to complain about nail polishes but this color intrigues me so I’m happy about it.

So overall… (3 out of 5) which is what I’ve been rating my Ipsy bags lately.

I’m quite excited for the design of the bag this month.

What I’m getting in my bag is:

* Tarte Deluxe Lifted Sweatproof Mascara (Eh, not too thrilled this is my 3rd mascara)

* Luna by Luna Cosmetics Lip Crayon in Elara (very excited for this product)

*Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencil in Perversion (Again another eyeliner, 3rd one, and actually I received this one in my first ever Ipsy bag)

* BLAQ mask (I requested this item and I’m very very excited to receive it and try it out)

*Hey Honey Trick AND Treat: ACTIVE PROPOLIS CREAM CONCEALER (Can’t wait to try this product it looks interesting.)

I should be receiving my bag tomorrow and I couldn’t be any more excited. lol

I’m new in glam bag/sub box, so far I love my bag,

I got
UD eye pencil ( my favorite brand)

MDMflow Liquid Matte Lipstick in Retro (lipstick or crayon will better)
Pretty Woman Nail Polish in Wine With Ice, Garçon (love polish any color)

I would love to receiving MAKE UP FOR EVER Ultra HD Invisible Cover Foundation. anyway just sign up sephora play to having one.

tarte
deluxe lights, camera, lashes™ 4-in-1 mascara

IT Cosmetics
Bye Bye Pores Pressed Powder

Chella
Eyebrow Pencil in Beautiful Blonde and Elegant Ebony

Skinvolve
Phoenician Secret Scrub – Peppermint

TONYMOLY
Peach Hand Cream

I’m totally meh on this one. This sub is always my last to join and first to go. The eyebrow pencil is good, if it’s blonde and decent. The mascara… I have two already, this makes three, not fond of it. Skinvolve… it’s a body scrub, but it doesn’t seem like there’s really enough, but we’ll see. The powder’s cool, I’ve been wanting to sample it. And hand cream. Peach, hand cream. It’s still a good deal for $10.90. Stocking stuffers! LOL

you should have received an email from Ipsy that had something to click on to show you what you were going to be getting in your bag.

Laura

The one in the review is Liz’s bag. There are many variations – you may or may not receive some of the same items as others. On your account you should be able to look at your specific Glam bag.

Angie,

Everyone gets different products based on their profile and product reviews. Make sure you review your products each month so they can learn more about what you like and you don’t like and your bags should become more tailored for you over time. Hope this helps.

Angie

Thanks Marie 😁 I will definitely do exactly how you said so that I can get one more tailored and now understand Ipsy more . Appreciate it 😉

Nyesha

Once again I like the glambag more than the products

UD eyeliner (I like this even though I asked to put a hold on eyeliners)
another brush that I don’t need
First aid lotion
loose eyeshadow (better be in purple, I requested)
Tarte mascara which I already have and am not fond of

I hope ipsy really starts to pay more attention to our profiles since they have ended the product request.

Marina

They will send you an extra item to comp for the eyeliner u requests d against
You just have to email them and ask 😉

Urban Decay – 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencil in Perversion
Furless – Black Beauty Blending Crease Brush
Meech and Mia – Loose Eyeshadow in Purple or Beige
JM Solution – Water Luminous Jenny Cleanser
IT Cosmetics – Bye Bye Pores Pressed Powder (Requested Item)

Not so sure about my first bag as of yet. It all seems like things that I would like although I was looking forward to some kind of lip product. AND I have so many black eyeliners so I made sure to tell them to do eccentric colors but nope, black. 😛 I guess we’ll see. I’m most looking forwards to the powder and the cleanser.

I’m getting same as you EXCEPT I’m getting the Rimmel lipstick instead of your crease brush. And I also requested the powder. Really hoping for the purple eyeshadow.

Okay I am new to ipsy. I just got the spoiler for my first ipsy bag and I am really excited. But I still don’t get the concept of “requesting” certain products. Could anyone please explain as in what you can request and how? 🤔
Thanks in advance:)

MzBev

They removed the option to request an item, so you can’t do it anymore anyway.

Ann

I’m getting:
– Tarte deluxe Lights, Camera, Lashes (haven’t tried this, but I’ve heard great things so I’m excited!)
– Chella Eyebrow Pencil (I hope I get Beautiful Blonde since I’m blonde..)
– Hey Honey Active Propolis Cream Concealer
– BLAQ mask
– IT Cosmetics Bye Bye pressed powder

Overall, I’m very excited to try everything in my bag! I haven’t been disappointed by a bag yet, and I’ve been signed up since July. Somehow I got all items that were advertised too.

krissy

i was looking for a bag twin but i haven’t found one yet!

CONTEXT SKIN Vitamin C All Day Eye Cream

Furless black beauty blending crease brush (i requested a brush but they surprised me with what kind of brush, and i’m really glad its this one! it has teal on the tip of the bristles!!! i love it!)

BLAQ Mask

IT Cosmetics Bye Bye Pores Pressed Powder

Smashbox – Photo Finish Lid Primer in Light

i really wanted the eye cream, the blaq mask, and the primer, so i’m really happy for those, but i’m not really into IT cosmetics and i took powder off my beauty preferences but they gave it to me anyways. its a good product regardless and the rest of my bag is great so i’m not really complaining. i was going to request the blaq mask at first but they never send me a brush unless i ask for one and i really wanted a brush this time so i tried my luck on the other products. This is one of my best bags, they’re definitely getting better every month. i started in july and i think i hated my first bag. i just wish they’d send me a brush every month without asking for one. i love brushes in my bag lol

Anita

Great bag! I never requested a brush because I usually get one every 3rd month or so but that was cool requesting something a lot of us seem to get frequently.
Seems like they loaded you up with higher end items to make up for you asking for an item they always seem to feature (a brush not necessarily that particular one).
I really wanted the Blaq mask & the Smashbox primer but felt I needed the Context eye cream more.

I’m getting:

UD Pencil
Cute Balms Lip Balm in Vanilla
Luna Lip Crayon in Elara
MEECH and MIA Loose Eyeshadow in purple or beige
Pretty Woman Nail Polish in Wine With Ice, Garcon

Overall I’m pretty happy. I hope the lip balm lives up to its description because I have a ton of other lip balms lying around that I barely use. This is my third month with Ipsy and I can’t say I’ve been disappointed at all with the value of items I receive and I love getting mail so for me it’s something nice to look forward to and treat myself with.

I’m almost bag twins with Liz except I’m getting the hey honey instead of the lipstick. I’m super excited for my bag.

Once again ipsy hits it out of the park! These guys are amazing! The CS is amazing! I have loved every bag for the last 3 years straight!! Seriously! I got it pressed powder,smashbox lid primer,watermelon facial cleanser, brow pencil, and a 35$ full size eye cream for my “older” eyes!!! lol I’m overjoyed! I feel like they look into my profile & reviews with such clarity..I end up loving every product every month!! I love love love it ipsy thank u so much!!

This is my first Ipsy bag ever, I’m so excited. I’m getting:

Bye Bye pores (most excited)
Skyn Icelandic eye cream
Blaq mask
Luna Lip crayon
And Chella eyebrow pencil

I love anti-aging skincare stuff and lippies, so they did a good job of matching me so far

(I found this site by watching some random YouTube post last month, and I meant to sign up for the Beauty Fix box since I shop at Dermstore. But I didn’t like that months. Instead I’ve ended up with a year’s subscription to Ipsy and Allure, and purchased Target and Walmart boxes too. Wow, how fast an addiction can start! I think I will still also end up with BeautyFix too when I like that month’s. I might need an intervention!!)

I haven’t seen my bag listed yet so here goes nothing…

UD 24/7 Eye Glide Pencil in Perversion: I haven’t gotten a black eyeliner in quite a while, and I’ve heard really good things about this one, so I’m not mad at it.

MDMFlow Liquid Matte Lipstick in Retro: I feel meh about this. I’m really picky about liquid lipsticks so I probably won’t really use it.

Pretty Woman Nail Polish in Wine With Ice: I’m excited about this one!

IT Cosmetics Bye Bye Pores Pressed Powder: I’ve been looking for a new pressed powder and this one has rave reviews so I’m excited to try it!

BioRepublic Skin Care Sheet Mask Duo: I like getting masks in bags! I never buy them but I love using them, so they’re a nice treat.

I’ve been really liking my Ipsy bags lately. They’ve killed it the past few months but for a while there I was having really bad luck with my bags

I never get lip products even after eliminating almost everything else on my profile 😅💄💄

I am getting:
*smashbox lid primer
*bye bye pores powder
*hey honey concealer
*peach cream tonymoly – I requested
*peppermint scrub

Marina

I asked a CS rep about that one time and she said something about needing enough choices in each section to balance stuff out. So if you leave only lip and nothing else it doesn’t just pick it.
I just changed mine a bit, took out some brands and made it a little less than half this time and it seems to be better.
It’s sorta the luck of the draw, but I have been changing it up every couple months to see if anything improves it! (oh, and not picking anything in a section does seem to limit that stuff from coming – so flip can happen)
Moral of the story – Ipsy profile is finicky as f—- haha

Beth

That seems like such a silly policy! If you’ve only chosen one thing in a category, that pretty clearly shows that you’re super excited about that thing. You’d think they’d at least give it the same weight they give it for people who choose, ya know, five things in that category…

Oh, ipsy. Haha.

Karen

For my first bag I’m getting First Aid Beauty, Context Skin, Tarte Mascara, Hey Honey, and the Bye Bye Pores pressed powder. I use First Aid Beauty right now and love it, and I’m looking forward to trying the others out.

I am super happy with this month and the bag with the cute bat zipper!

Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencil in Perversion (if I could have requested a second item, this would have been it)

MDMflow Liquid Matte Lipstick in Retro

Sol de Janeiro Brazilian Bum Bum Cream (I am not a fan of heavily scented body creams, but this gets rave reviews so I am happy to give it a try)

MEECH AND MIA Loose Eyeshadow in Purple (requested)

Pretty Woman Nail Polish in Wine With Ice, Garçon (this looks like it is a dark purple? I like nail polish, and this could be a good color for fall/winter)

3 full size items, a half size eyeliner I actually want, and a sample of expensive body cream. It’s like they knew it’s my birthday month 😀
