Boxycharm just had a Color Correcting Palette in their December box. I’ve noticed a lot of repeats with Ipsy following Boxy. I hope I dont get it, I didn’t want/ need it in my Boxy.

Hey guys, I chose the lip hydrating cream with my points and i’m supposed to get it for my January bag but I really want to skip this month lol, will I still get the item I got with points or does it have to come with a bag? Thank you!

Reply ButtonReply

Lisa

Your points will be refunded has to come with January bag. I skipped next month and it said any point rewards I redeemed would be refunded. So I am hoping they won’t have anything I want!!

Reply ButtonReply

gege

Ugh that’s highly annoying but makes sense haha, thank you!

Lisa

I skipped January Ipsy. I don’t like anything in spoiler except lippie which is $6. I already have the contour pallette and because I gave City Color such a high review I am afraid they would send it again. This way I don’t have to worry about it and can take the $10 I am saving and buy an Ipsy offer lol.

How do you skip a month? I am unable to find where to do this on there website?

Lisa

You got to account on top screen then account settings then subscription. It will say cancel subscription but when you click on it will give you option to skip a month Instead!!

That bag reminds me of the 90s and I absolutely love it. I don’t even care what’s in the bag I just want the bag lol

Omg I need to try the Ole Hendrickson eye cream and the -LUE BY JEAN SEO Balance – Hydrating & Calming Serum.
I love Lue by Jean Seo Erase -cleansing exfoliating &brightening powder. Please please please. Hoping for skincare and no more brushes and eyeliners uugghhh

I think Ipsy is fun and for $10/ month, I’m not complaining. I might cancel in ‘18, but unlike Birchbox, Sephora Play and Allure, i always receive something useful and fun. Since I enjoy makeup but am super choosey on my skincare, Ipsy suits me well. I love how makeup can transform and not just conceal. Every sub makeup box will send the trendy stuff like this year’s dreaded brown muddy liquid lipcolor or last year’s highlighter but that’s to be expected, this is driven by cosmetic company marketing. What’s cool is the discovery of new products, techniques, and rediscovering old standards in the process. Ipsy reminds me to have fun!

My question is will they send these items to me if I didn’t check in the initial sign up that its something I’d use? Do they send you only items that fit what you selected?

Reply ButtonReply

Jackie

There’s still a good possibility they will send you something that’s not on your profile. I’ve seen quite a few people get say lipstick when they don’t have it checked. Ipsy tries to introduce you to new products and things to get you outside your comfort zone along with things you like as well.

ixchel

hi Liz! not sure if you saw my past comment but I actually have some products listed that will be in the bag next month!

I emailed ipsy customer care yesterday because I had a horrible experience with the Skinvolve Scrub and they graciously offered to let me pick something for next month. I thought I should share 🙂
-SO SUSAN Liquid Matte Long-Wear Liquid Lipstick
-SLMISSGLAM Tapered Highlight Brush lilac glitter handle
-MUDMASKY Sleep Repair Renewal Nourishing Mask
-CIATE LONDON Fierce Flicks
-LUE BY JEAN SEO Balance – Hydrating & Calming Serum

On another note did anyone have that burning freeing experience with the scrub? Don’t get me wrong I know it’s not ipsy’s fault and if anything they always are great with their customer service but I hope they never send it again.
Anyways, hope it helps 🙂

I have a few of the So Susan Liquid Mattes, and they are amazing. I hope I get a new colour in my ipsy!

Robin Maldonado

OMG yes! If I get nothing else I would be fine! I LOVE So Susan Liquid Matte! In my top 5 for sure. 😍

Courtney

Oh man I LOVE the mudmasky products! I have the facial detox purifying recovery mask and it’s my favorite mask ever! I hope I get the sleep repair one in January!

That’s so weird. My comment wasn’t posted

So I placed a complaint after using the Skinvolve scrub for the first time yesterday and they emailed me back apologizing and offering me to pick one of the items for next month. These were my options and I thought I should share:
Ciate Eyeliner-Fierce Flicks
So Susa Liquid Matte Long-Wear Liquid Lipstick
SLMISSGLAM Tapered Highlight Brush lilac glitter handle
MUDMASKY Sleep Repair Renewal Nourishing Mask
Lue By Jean Seo Balance- Hydrating and Calming Serum

On another note. Did anyone also experience that ugly burning freezing sensation too? Don’t get me wrong, Ipsy is a great company with wonderful customer service and I don’t think they are liable for this, but I hope they never send out that product again. I felt tortured.

This feels like it’s all repeats! From the pic, the bag looks just like that other grey mesh bag (but in new colors, with a new zipper pull) and I’m pretty sure that I’ve seen all of these products except for the eye cream in bags before. The only one I’d be excited for is the contour palette, but that’s $7 RV, so I think I’m going to skip and just use the money to buy myself one.

That said, I’ve definitely gotten the Fierce Flicks before and it’s my JAM, so I highly recommend it! It’s the best black eyeliner I’ve gotten through ipsy.

Lisa

See one of the reasons I skipped a month is because of the contour palette. I already have one from Ipsy offer . I rarely reach for it the highlighter has no shimmer it is just a matte white powder. First ingredient is talc . The bronzer is OK contour is too dark but even if I loved it I don’t need two. The only thing I want from list of spoilers is Kokie lippie and its $6. Someone even listed more spoilers in post and I don’t want those spoilers either!

Janet

Agreed on the Fierce Flicks! One of my all-time favorite ipsy items.

Reply ButtonReply

Amanda

Eh. The previews are seriously making me consider skipping a month of Ipsy. I think the CC cream is the only thing I’d be actually excited for. I’d use the eyeliner eventually but I already have two open black felt tip eyeliners (which is the only type I use).

Reply ButtonReply

Yes! How do you skip?

Reply ButtonReply

Lisa

If you go under account then go under subscription you will see option cancel subscription but when you click on it says why don’t you skip a month instead? So you just choose that option bam done! I just did it

Jackie

There is a skip a month option under your subscription preferences on the ipsy website and app. If you have trouble finding it, email ipsy customer service. They are super helpful!!

the material of this bag reminds me of a powder pink one we received from ipsy last year…

At first I didn’t really feel the bag, but the shoelaces and athletic look make me get it. I think it will make a fun bag to inspire workouts-put something used for workouts in it and have fun. I hope for more cooler shade items this winter too!

Jackie

I think the bag is super cute! Not excited for the products so far, but I will donate the unwanted products to my local women’s shelter, they’ll love it! I’ve got almost enough products for my christmas donation. Im going to donate all of my ipsy and boxycharm items from this month to hopefully make someones christmas a little brighter. I wish I would have saved more but I always end up swatching everything and then I can’t donate it 🙁

Dawnmarie

another option is to check with the guidance counselors at your local middle and high schools to find the homeless children in school. ( the need is especially great for Aunt Flo stuff.. I often use coupons to pick up an extra package for donation)

Reply ButtonReply

Liz

I LOVE this idea for women’s shelters! I think I will go through my stash I’ve been hoarding for swaps and if they are unopened I will donate like you and make this a habit. Great idea!

This is a good idea! Unused boxycharm and ipsy for stuffing stockers!

Love the bag. I got my Ricky’s Cult Crushers box today Wow amazing!!!!

I’ve wanted to try them out, but how do you cancel this sub? Ease of cancellation usually makes it or breaks it for me, along with good cs.

Frances W

Do tell please! What did you get in your Ricky’s box this month?

Reply ButtonReply

Dea

A HUGE jar of body butter, a gorgeous non-sticky lip gloss, and three small “meh” items. Overall, an amazing value!!! This is my first Ricky’s box and I am in love.

Julie

I like the bag, lol. Not sure what else other than the Ole Hendrickson eye cream oh please I want MORE SKINCARE. I could use some concealer or foundation. I am thinking of canceling ipsy and allure bb,for the new test tube beauty. Mostly skincare. I’m going to try the Korean mask box I’m excited I love skincare and masks. I’m tired of the black eyeliner and eyeshadow I won’t wear. They send you stuff you don’t have checked off so why bother asking us.

Reply ButtonReply

Beth

I’m so not loving any of these. Black liner, Hair stuff I have. That lip color is not me. I have passed on November and December and now Jan. Im just cancelling. I not staying because I want to buy something with points.

There are more possible spoilers. When I go to IPSY on my phone, it asks me to download the app. It shows a picture of the January bag and parts of five products:

It bye bye under eye illuminator
The balm Bahama mama (eyeshadow? Bronzer? Some neutral pressed powder)
Naked powder (soft pink!)
Katy? Lip thing? Light orangey
purple tube with cap, possible letter C or G

Nevermind, not January bag. Similar, but normal pull no shoelaces and bag is lighter blue with circle holes. Probably a previous month then.

Reply ButtonReply

Ash

The bag is hideous.

Reply ButtonReply

Sara

I love the bag. Lol

Reply ButtonReply

Jenai

Lol, I agree, as far as my personal taste goes. The shoelace style pull is kind of cute though – I think is supposed to be a sporty look. I told myself I would pause for a month if I did not like the bag, so I think I am going to do that. I am sticking with Allure a couple more months than planned, so skipping a month or two of IPSY will help offset that. I really like IPSY, but I am a little overloaded on small items at the moment, too.

Dea

I just took the plunge and canceled both ipsy and Sephora. Instead, I subscribed to Allure and to Ricky’s NYC, and already I’m happy with both boxes. The only FOMO I have is if some super-cute ipsy bag comes along – but then, dozens of people sell theirs on ebay, so I’m covered. Sephora wasn’t really a good fit for my personal preferences, and I dislike the direction the ipsy website and social media channels have taken over the past year. ipsy used to be so much fun for all age groups – now they’re talking and writing for middle schoolers whose aspirational role model must be Kylie Jenner, like, the deets are adorbs, you know? Count me out, ipsy.

CeCee

You nailed it, Dea. While i personally like Ipsy and find most products usable (especially since i have opted out of certain categories), their “platform” and “cutesy speak” really drives me nuts and I am *technically* a millennial (i am 30).

I couldn’t have said it better myself. Adult women do subscribe. I can’t stand reading anything on their website.

I love how creative Ipsy gets with their bags. I can’t wait to see what they have coming this year. And I hope the February bag is better than the one last year.
