You need to go to the Ipsy site to take care of that. This is a blog that is unaffiliated with Ipsy.

This isn’t Ipsy’s website. This is a Blog site. You would have to contact Ipsy about your order. Nobody here has any control over Ipsy and their shipments.

How can I tell what is in my bag? I cannot figure it out.
Thanks!

You have to go to Ipy’s website. Log on to your account and look under the Glam Bag tab. It will show you what you are being sent.

There were several things I was excited for this month. Just received my bag info and of course I am getting nothing I wanted. 3 months with Ipsy and 3 months of bags with nothing I wanted. Definitely canceling my subscription now and sticking with Sephora Play because I never have this problem with them. Ipsy subscribers is this a common issue with Ipsy?

Lol, thanks for the preview, ipsy. Nothing like a bag with stuff I could just get at Target and Walmart.

My dream bag would be:
*Trust Fund Beauty- Gimme Good Face Primer
*Estee Lauded- Advanced Night Repair
*Make Up For Ever- Ultra HD Invisible Cover Foundation
*The Balm Cosmetics- Hot Mama Blush
*Kat Von D- Beauty Tattoo Liner (to pass off to my daughter. I give her the things I don’t use or that she enjoys more)
I am certain I won’t get anything I like or that matches my profile though. This will be my 3rd month with Ipsy and I have not been impressed so far. I am still not over the item I was excited about getting last month, the Onomie Powerful Priming Serum only having a few drops in the whole bottle. That was such a disappointing ripoff that I almost cancelled my subscription then. I will give them 2 more months and if things don’t get better I will just stick with Sephora Play.

Omg this is so exciting!! I love ten-twelve of these products!! So I have a good chance of getting good stuff right?!? Probably wrong BC ipsy seems to screw me every month lately 🙁
I would love that tatcha cleansing oil, the vintage shadow, that baby blue or purple nail polish, either of the pretty red lipsticks, the nyx silver liner…a few more, omg I’m hopeful!!! Please please don’t let me down…again ipsy!

Dear ipsy,
Please send the four liquid eye liners and the blush brush. I love you…
Of course, that’s not how it will go down.

My perfect box would be below, but will never happen; not enough make-up.

Dermelect Rapid Repair Facial Moisturizer
Trust Fund Beauty Gimme Good Face – Face Primer

I don’t subscribe anymore, but this does look like a good month! I use the Estee Lauder advanced night repair as a second/third favorite when I am out of my Paula’s Choice. I have relatively sensitive skin that tolerates that serum. Not even subscribed but my dreambag would include mostly these products:
JoShik Polish in LUXE
INDI BEAUTY BUTTERCREAM ANTIOXIDANT LIP SCRUB
Lottie London Perfectly Precise Eyeshadow Brush
Preventive Measures 101 Lips 101 After Hours
Estée Lauder Advanced Night Repair Synchronized Recovery Complex II
noyah Natural Lipstick in Smoke or Currant News
Seriously considering resubbing!

If I had a choice, here’s what I would want:
-Any liquid eyeliner
-Eye patches
-Teeez Romantic red lipstick
-ModelCo brow pencil in medium/dark (if it’s darker than the one pictured)
-Then maybe the Kokie nail polish, eye shadow brush, or just about anything other than skincare (too sensitive), eyebrow powder (already have), or makeup palettes intended for fair skin (I’m medium).

Dream box
-Dermelect rapid repair facial moisturizer
-Zjaja natural olive cream light formula(the olive beauty elixir from bb5 felt like water. Smelled like water. I did a side by side comparison in paper and skin. Same! They said it made in batches so they are not all the same. I serious thing it’s just water)
-Befine food skin care exfoliating cleanser
-Promise coconut face lotion
-Estee lauder night repair

I am glad I have 6 accounts. Every product in October looks amazing!!! There’s only one product there that I wouldn’t be able to use and that’s the coconut milk because of my nut allergy, but if I get it I am sure any member of my family would be happy to use it.
I am just now getting into nailpolish and that one looks interesting and fun, plus I have a 4 year old niece who just loves to have her toenails painted in purples and pinks.
I got the Mememe brush the last time they gave it out. It is by far, the best brush, I have ever gotten. I wouldn’t getting another one. It is so incredibly soft.

Wow, Octobers products look great! Would love to receive most of the products with the exception of most of the skincare as my skin is crazy sensitive. My top 5 would have to be:
-Adesse Chrome Nail Polish
-The Balm blush in Hot Mama
-Patchology eye gel patches
-NYX eyeliner in Gunmetal
-Either the ModelCo brow pencil, SJP rollerball or Trestique lip crayon in Florence Fig

I have the same issue. I am just starting to identify which skincare products help keep my skin clear, and I don’t want any skincare unless it’s an exfoliating wash or mask I can use once a week without throwing off my routine. I hope I get mostly makeup! My last Ipsy bag was so disappointing, and I think they gave me mostly things I did NOT have checked on my profile. Fingers crossed for October redemption!

I really try to never get my hopes up but I really want to try the kat Von D eye tattoo liner. If I don’t get it I’m thinking of just buying it. Of course it was in September box of the sephora play box, the first box after I cancelled play box. Lol That’s my luck??

Hope you do get the tattoo eye liner! I got it in Sephira and it is Awesome. Worth buying outright. I sure will when I run out. Sooo I’ll keep my fingers crossed for both of us cause I need a backup. ??

I received this liner from sephora and was very disappointed. It rubbed off in spots and left serious crease marks
Reply
Samantha
I get that issue with eye makeup sometimes because my eyelids get oily. Try using an eye makeup primer before applying anything, and make sure it’s completely dry first. With how oily I get, this doesn’t solve everything, but at least decreased how much my eyeliner transfers to the crease of my eyelids. I’ve tried Benefit’s and Urban Decay, and someone recommended Laura Mercier’s to me, but I haven’t tried it yet.
Teri
Wow. Sorry to hear that. It worked great for me. Wonder why. Weird.
Dianne
I hope I Get the Indi beauty lip scrub and nyx gunmetal liner and the eyeshadow brush and trust fund beauty primer and vintage eyeshadow or lotion.

-Kat Von D Beauty Tattoo Liner in Trooper
-Elizabeth Grant Skin Care Green Power C Hydrating Cleanser
-PUR Cosmetics Dirty Girl Detoxifying Mudd Masque with Pascalite Clay
-Estée Lauder Advanced Night Repair Synchronized Recovery Complex II
This is my second time around trying Ipsy out, the few months I tried awhile ago were a huge disappointment. I constantly received items I have no desire for and my last bag before I canceled was 5/5 items I hadn’t marked as wants. I get they cant accommodate everything but 5/5 is unacceptable. I MUCH prefer skin care and liked a few of the spoilers so thought Id give them one more shot. I have marked that I barely wear makeup, and if I get 3-4/5 makeup items it will be my last month for good.
