i love glam glow, however this looks to be their flash mud brightening treatment so take care to use sunscreen if going outside afterward ;). I would be thrilled to receive either item.

I love GlamGlow & I seem to be getting quite a bit of different GlamGlow items for the past few months in different sub boxes. I’m definitely not complaining…bring it on! I like any eyeshadows too so I wouldn’t be unhappy with either of these spoilers <3 Love Ipsy!

I complained for the first time ever this month at my pathetic selection of samples. I was met with a diatribe about discovery subscription services, which I had already explained in email I loved and understood thoroughly, but there was not one useful item in my bag. I received a lengthy and snarky, condescending reply. I pointed out I had been a member since late 2011, after Ipsy launched in September 2011. I’ve been through all their growing pains and remained a loyal customer who referred upwards of 10 people to their service over the years. Finally I was told I could pick one item to be included in my next bag (which was all I had asked for in my initial email and gave a list of nearly half the samples I would love to try that would be a better fit). I was told they only allow members to do this once no matter how long they have had the account. I had previously had zero experience with customer service, zero complaints even when bags I received were so horrendous that I threw items away because even my friends were not interested. Eventually I was told that they could have done a better job with shades and items fitting my beauty quiz profile (pale redhead) and that they were working on doing something involving shade selection on the quiz. I was also told to pick only a couple items in each section to get better results. I have constantly been retaking their quiz and tinkering around to get best results for nearly 4 years and rarely select more than 3 items in a section for just that reason. I was told multiple times that not selecting an item didn’t mean I wouldn’t receive it (again, something I was aware of fully). Their customer service was downright rude and only agrees to mail me one item with my next bag after going through a long process, when my initial request was for a single sample item with a list of nearly half the items from August and my saying ANY of them would be more welcome to try than what I received. Seriously considering canceling my account and spending my money on another Birchbox. I’ve remained loyal to Ipsy even when the products where cheap and tacky (anyone remember the hot pink Jessie’s Girl polish or the J. Cat sparkly shadow palette that went on like gluey glitter, just for examples). I just can’t believe the colors they send me sometimes, why ask about my hair or eye color when you’re going to send me hot pink something or other to a natural redhead? So disappointed in the quality going downhill and so disappointment by how they treat members who have been there since the beginning. I just cancelled Glossy Xbox and if next month’s glam bag is a disappointment, they’re the next to go.

I love nyx and eyeshadows but everyone has been raving about GlamGlow and i would love to try it! I wish ipsy had something similar to birchbox where you can choose which sample you would rather have. I think they would have ALOT more happy customers that way.

Princesssk- You can try two of the glamglow products if you buy the prestige box from Birchbox. I did but ended up not like either of them. One smelled like apples and the other you were supposed to leave on overnight. Nothing really beats the original mud mask. They used to have a sampler pack on the glamglow website but their website was down for so long I gave up.

i’d be happy with either one…but this spoiler is early isn’t it??? not complaining i just thought they came out at the first of the month..

I think they got so many complaints about August’s glam bag that they’re trying to keep customers with a preview of better items as bait.

Glam glow please!! My first two bags were great but my last two were not so great.

I am excited for either I have gotten really great bags from Ipsy so far! I haven’t been let down yet!!

Would LOVE the Glamglow, but wouldn’t be disappointed by NYX either. Great spoilers so far. Really looking forward to my September Glambag and hoping that they step up their game as my August bag wasn’t too great, especially since July was amazing! Can’t wait to find out this month’s theme! Side question – does anybody have any idea how big the Glamglow sample is?
Reply
Lisa
Glam Glow samples are always quite small. It’s one of the more costly products for face cleansers.

I would love the GlamGlow, but it seems that very few subscribers actually get these coveted items. It’s the main reason I finally unsubscribed a few months back!
Reply
Cat
I think you’re on to something there. It appears some items they get few in stock of and they use them as a teaser and send stuff like icky nude lip liners to instead.

I wouldn’t mind receiving either of these products. Thanks for the spoiler!

Ugh I hate NYX, but (un)lucky for me I never get the spoilers.

Interesting. Hopefully I don’t get the eye shadow, as I can’t put it on. I’m not good with feeling my way around my eyelid (blind in my left eye, so can’t see when I close my right lid).. Hopefully there is another NYX item as an option though. Is there a way to make it so I never get eyeshadows? All other eye products are fine since I can keep my eyes open with them.
Reply
Cat
They will say you can still get any item as its a discovery service, but they may be more accommodating with a good legitimate reason like that and could make a note on your account. However, customer service has been nothing but unfriendly to me…good luck, it’s definitely worth trying at least!

There is no such thing as too many nude palettes. Bring it on!

I’m so the opposite! I cancelled because I kept getting boring, too dark, too bronzy “nudes”. I’m very pale, so they all look ridiculous on me.

Interesting that one is high-end and the other is a drugstore brand. I like NYX, but I really don’t need more eyeshadow, so I guess I’m hoping from the GlamGlow (unless we could get a NYX lipstick instead of the eyeshadow pictured).

Man… I like these spoilers. Well mainly the Glam Glow but after this past month I want to cancel! I haven’t confirmed it yet.. Lol. But I haven’t liked anything in the past few months except like 1 thing from each bag. I don’t know if I should keep it another month or not. I love my Birchbox way more!
