Ipsy August 2015 Glam Bag Reveal Day!

My bag this month does not suite me at all. It doesn’t matter what I put on my quiz or how I review products I don’t like, I just keep getting things I hate, mainly eye liner and lip stuff. This month I got skinn eye liner, hikari lip gloss, dry shampoo, ofra lip liner and Jessies girl eye primer. The eye primer is worth less than 50 cents ! The batiste dry shampoo is also very low price. It’s just really disappointing.

we got the same box

I’m getting the Jessie’s girl primer, hakari lip gloss, la fresh night cream, skone eye/lip pencil and the albertini hydrator. I’m not excited at all. I would MUCH rather have the nail polish and the eye liner pencil but ah welp. Maybe next month ?

This is my first ipsy bag and I looked at all my products and the ones I could have got and they picked out the exact products I would have picked.

I got goodnight night cream,
Albertini skin hydrator,
Doll 10 blush
Noyah natural lipstick
Lord and berry in nude

Good job Ipsy!

How can you look at the bag contents? I just subscribed on July 31 and my account page indicates that the bag will ship mid-month. But I don’t see a button to reveal the contents. Thanks!

I’m absolutely thrilled with my bag this month. These are the products I would’ve picked if we could hand pick them when I saw the spoilers at the end of July! This is going to be my third bag and I only started doing the reviews last month, and ipsy is listening.

also the houndstooth bag is super cute.

Jesses Girl – eyeshadow primer
Starlooks – eyeliner pen
Skone Cosmetics – eye/lip pencil in wine
Hikari Cosmetics – lip gloss
Beauty Without Cruelty – leave in conditioner

I honestly don’t think that Ipsy goes by the “profile/quiz” to customize everyone’s bag. I believe that they actually go by the reviews that you give for the products you receive. For example , if you’ve said in your quiz that you hate nail polish but when you get one in your bag and you give it a positive review, they’re going to go by that review and send you more polish. At one time I was receiving a ton of skin care – moisturizers, sunscreen, eyecream, etc. I assume this was based on my age (45) I started giving all of it bad reviews and my bag has actually improved quite a bit.

I got the same bag as you, Liz, except I’m getting a Hikari lip gloss instead of the nail polish. I’m thrilled, and will use everything here. I travel a lot, so travel cleansers and hair products are perfect and TSA approved!

A tip for those who keep getting nail polish and don’t want it. This worked for me (though could also be chance!). I did not have nail polish checked, yet kept receiving it. I went back through my quiz and found that I had “liked” some nail polish brands, like Butter and OPI. When I “unliked” all nail product brands, I quit receiving polish. Worth trying, if you haven’t. 🙂

I’m getting a Jesse’s Girl eye primer, which disappoints me – I hate getting that Wet & Wild, NYC level of makeup in a sub – its not even to the same quality as NYX. The rest of my bag is okay, but I’ve tried to unsubscribe multiple times and they never send me the “last step” email link.

I just subscribed to Ipsy. I’m very excited. (:

how do you get the 10 points? I looked at my box but didn’t see anything.

Here’s the problem with Ipsy. You do the quiz, and it’s like they don’t even bother to look at it. They also don’t take into consideration any skin sensitivity or allergies. This month I am getting th La Fresh Group Night Cream, Albertini Hydrator, and a god aweful color trust fund beauty nail polish! This is the 2nd month in a row that Ipsy has sent me hydrators, which i’m allergic to. I’ve emailed Ipsy last month and this month about it, but they’re useless. If anyone would like to swap one of these for the Too Faced Hangover Primer, the cover fx blemish treatment primer, or the ofra cosmetics lip liner in wine, email me at [email protected]. Otherwise, they’ll just go in the trash.
Thank god I also get the ELF beauty bundle. I pay $25 every 2 months for 14 items, and i’ve never been let down.

I’m getting Trust Fund polish (yay!), Skone pencil in wine (won’t use it), Noyah natural lipstick (maybe), Juara mask (will use it), and the Briogeo volumizer (most definitely won’t use with my naturally curly hair). Blah. I said I would give it 6 months, but this is only my second month and I’m already thinking of canceling. I do love the bag itself though!

I can’t see my bag yet (ran into some banking issues this month. Someone decided they wanted to leave China and go to Australia on my dime. Thank goodness the bank fixed everything and sent me a new bank card in time to make sure all my subs didn’t cancel my subs altogether!) Anyway, since it got paid a little late this month I’m still waiting to see my glam room.

I guess I have loved all my ipsy bags for the 2 years I’ve been with them because I’m pretty open to trying a lot of different things. I like discovering new brands, and I will try all sorts of new colors out. Anything I don’t like will usually go to my oldest daughter, and anything SHE doesn’t like usually goes to my youngest daughter. Anything SHE doesn’t like will go to my youngest son, who loves all kinds of things makeup and bright. (He’s 6 and the craziest kid I know LOL) By the time the things all trickle down, it is usually all used up, or…. well… it get’s trashed. I used to live just down the street from a friend when we lived in Hawaii that also got ipsy (and then another friend down the street jumped on board) so we would get together and trade anything we didn’t like or want LOL Man, I miss those days.

So bummed I didn’t get the tarte lip gloss. I got the trust fund nail polish in the same color, marsk pro line eye shadow brush, skone eye/lip liner in wine, marc anthony argan oil treatment and the noyah natural lipstick. Looking forward to the eye brush and the lipstick, but I’m tired of getting argan oil in what seems like every beauty subscription box.

I love what I’m getting this month- I’m getting the doll 10 blush, Hikari lip gloss, Jessie’s girl eyeshadow primer, night creme and leave in hair conditioner

There were other items I liked to like the Noyah lipstick and the black eyeliner pencils. This is my forth bag and I’m yet to get a single makeup pencil.ooooh and the waterproof lip pencil looks so pretty too. The makeup brush looks nice to. I’m still waiting on getting 4:1 makeup:skincare products because I’m more into makeup at the moment.
Not every bag is perfect however there are products I didn’t think I would use and I actually ended up pleasantly surprised.

This is only my second month and I don’t know any of these manufacturers. Did I do good or not?

Aila nailpolish in “Mister Pookies” (black?)

Hikari lip gloss in pink… won’t use. this is the second pink lipstick I received. It does not go with my skin or hair color at all

Doucce eyeliner in black

Jesse’s Girl eye shadow primer

Briogeo hair volumizer

I appear to have an odd bag combo. Hikari lip gloss, dry shampoo, Trustfund polish, Oz mask and starlooks liner.

I am glad I didn’t get the too faced primer since I got it as gwp from Ulta and didn’t care for it. I like the primers with a bit of color like Pore-fessional.

I’m pretty pleased with my bag this month.

Tarte Lip gloss
Marc A Argan oil
Starlooks eyeliner
Juara Turmeric mask
Ofra lipliner in wine

Plus the super cute bag. I was THIS close to cancelling after this month, but may stick around a bit longer.

I have the bag posted above. I really want the Too Faced Primer. I am open to trading the polish, face wash or volumizer. Especially the volumizer, if anyone wants that make me any offer because with my hair type I will never use it.

bella pierre lipstick in PINK
Ofra lip liner in wine
glamour dolls eyeshadow single
LA Fresh cream
Marc Anthony oil

meh…I have said no lipstick, no nailpolish and I seem to get one or the other every month….No high end brands….bummed

This looks like an ok bag for me. I’m getting the Hikari gloss, a Doucce eyeliner, and a nude lipliner, all of which I’ll try.

I’m also getting the Marc Anthony argan oil treatment which I’ll swap, because I find most argan oil products give my blonde hair an unattractive yellow tinge. Oh, and some face cream, but it’s a really small sample and I have issues with so many face creams breaking me out, so I’ll likely swap it as well.

I just wiped my profile to blank. Sigh. oh the woes of this month’s bag….this is why I love the idea of ipsy but why I always end of canceling……

*Marc Anthony oil (cool, but I am getting a little sick of oils)
*Skone eye/lip pencil in wine (very excited!)
*Marsk shadow brush (always like brushes)
*Noya lipstick in natural
*Trust Fund Baby lavender polish

All in all, I’m excited for my bag. I always like Ipsy the best out of my subs

I got

* Marc Anthony Argan Oil Treatment
* LA Fresh Night Cream
* Skone Cosmetics Eye/Lip in wine
* ‘Pencil Me In’ Cosmetics Eyeliner in boysenberry
* Hikari Cosmetics lip gloss

All brands I’ve been sent before and disliked except to the 2 very similar pencils. What the heck ipsy?! I want to try NEW brands that at least slightly match my quiz and reviews. This is my last month, cancelling ASAP! I haven’t had a good month in a while, I’m out. 🙁
