Got my IPSY bag today:
Clarks Radiance Cream
Bombshell Va-Voom Polish
Bella Pierre Mineral Blush
Too Faced Lip Injection
Radial Hyaluronic Tonic
HOWEVER- the bag itself smells awful! Pure chemical smell- will probably go in the trash 🙁
Happy with the products overall 🙂

Some people are getting the glam bag already and are posting videos of it on YouTube. The bag actually looks pretty cute. The colors and material look well put together. It also looks like the material is not just all black but it has strands of shimmer, I’m actually very excited for it 🙂

I just received mine in the mail today. I was feeling meh about my bag this month but honestly the bag is so stunning in-person I really didn’t care what was inside.

There are glittery metallic threads running through the design, a gold metal circular ipsy zipper pull & gold zipper. The interior is black nylon. It feels very well constructed.

I’m getting:
AMIE New Leaf Deep Pore Exfoliating Polish – excited to try
ToGoSpa Eyes by ToGoSpa in Green Tea EYES – has aloe, I’m allergic, booooo
EYEKO Eye Do Liquid Eyeliner in Black – I two of have the fat one from Birchbox :/
Too Faced Lip Injection Extreme – Excited to try this
Seraphine Botanicals Guava Butter – love this brand, excited to try!

I’m glad I’ve only got one thing this month that has aloe. This is such a problem because none of the boxes I sub to give you the option to tell them about your allergies which sucks. It’s mostly annoying because I wanted to try this until I saw that is has aloe. Oh well, I’m glad to be getting the Too Faced item and something from Seraphine Botanicals.

Wish this site had a “chat” for each individual sub. Where we could go and talk about the items we got and didn’t want and the items we wish we’d got. I see a lot of people getting things they don’t want but others do and while the “swaps” is great, it’s kind of overwhelming trying to figure out WHO to actually swap with. I know a lot of people getting things they don’t want, myself included, just aren’t posting those things they don’t want on the “swaps”. I clicked on “discussion” thinking there MUST already be something like this on the site but there isn’t. Would really help to have an “ipsy” forum, a “Sephora” forum, etc. That way people could just swap within each sub, each month, meaning swap ipsy items for ipsy items. Being able to chat about it with people that are active and THEN heading over to the “swaps” to make the transaction would be EXCELLENT!

Has anyone’s bag shipped yet? Mine says it shipped out on the 7th and might get it on the 10th. Yay my first bag!!

I am still waiting for two of my bags to show. I know I am getting two nail polishes. One is the red and the be a bombshell. I keep nailpolish on hand because my 4 year old loves to have her toe nails painted. She loves hot pink. I had bought some nailpolish and she was told she could have her toenails painted because she was going to go to a concert. She saw the hot pink and she wanted her toenails hotpink, two weeks later her toenails were still hot pink.

I’m getting:

– Living Proof PhD 5 in 1
– Dr G BB cream in Fair

Would’ve loved the Eyeko instead of the DLS but still pretty happy.

I have 5 ipsy accounts. So far I have repeats on only two items and that’s the bb concealer and the it mascara, two items I can definately use. Two of my bags, they haven’t shown me, what I am getting yet.

So glad I canceled for this month! Looking at what everyone got, I have yet to feel the need for bag envy. I probably would have been disappointed with this months bag, looking at all the varieties that were sent out. No regrets at all. And I did not like the bag. May also skip Oct, as I don’t like Halloween themed things, they are so seasonal. Like to receive neutral prints.

Seems to be a lot of variations. I am actually very happy this month and when I saw the bag design and the items I didn’t think I would be. I have multiple subs and I have finally got different things in each, it’s a miracle. Even though I got some items I doubt I will use I’m still extremely happy because I got different items in each bag. And surprise, surprise yet again they give all the best stuff to the “blond hair, blue eye” account. I like every single item in that bag. I’m excited to try the two DIFFERENT mascaras, first time I’ve gotten a different mascara in each bag, usually I get the same mascara in both. Right now UD’s “perversion” mascara is winning, never thought I’d see a better mascara than the MAC they discontinued years ago but I had people literally stop and ask me what type of mascara I had on the very first day I wore “perversion”. I’m so glad Sephora sent them out in last box, I would have never found it on my own. Now I’m ready to see how the tarte and it mascaras compare.

Blond hair, blue eye, light skin account:
-AMIE New Leaf Deep Pore Exfoliating Polish (yay!)
-Pixi by Petra Mattelustre Lipstick in Rose Naturelle
-BelláPierre Cosmetics Mineral Blush in Autumn Glow
-Naked Cosmetics Naked Advanced Aloe Cream
-tarte cosmetics tarteist™ lash paint mascara

Light brown hair, hazel eyes(recently changed from dark), tan/olive skin account:
-Eyeko eyeliner
-Onomie Powerful Priming Serum in Truth
-ulta3 Nail Colour in Sizzling Red (ugg nail polish)
-IT Cosmetics Superhero™ Mascara in Super Black
-Buff Her House of Exfoliation Vanilla Almond Crumbles (yay!)

I received the same exact items from your (Blond hair, blue eye, light skin account); however I have brunette hair, green eyes, and light skin.

I’m getting the eyeko eyeliner, avene hydrating serum, crown ombre angle brush, be fine exfoliating cleanser, and the tarte mascara. This is my first month ever with ipsy and so far it’s everything I would use. I love the new skincare products especially

Victoria

We were almost bag twins! Instead of the eyeko eyeliner, I received the trust fund beauty nail polish. This was also my first month with Ipsy.

Lauren

So as much as I dislike my bag this month I still will receive 2 items I want to try and hope to like. I can’t complain because for 10 bucks I’m saving myself the money of paying for the full price item in hopes that I like it. With that said I freaking hate nail polish o keep giving low reviews and don’t know what else to do….no nail polish for me please. All the people who complain about mascara I would trade any day, just no nail polish.

This is my first Ipsy bag, and I have to say I am pretty excited about my items:
-Briogeo: Don’t Despair, Repair! Deep Conditioning Mask
-Crown Brush: Ombre Angle Brush
-Epice International: Restorative Toner
-TreStiQue: Mini Highlight Stick in Maldives Luminescent
-tarte: tarteist lash paint mascara

This bag was a bit of a miss for me:
-Pixi by Petra lipstick in rose naturelle
-Dr. G daily safe BB in fair
-IT cosmetics superhero mascara in super black
be a bombshell cosmetics nail polish
Living proof 5 in one styling treatment

I’m looking forward to the mascara and hair product, but the lipstick Ive tried in a diff. sub box and it was too dark of a nude with my fair complexion. My oily t zone never has never met a BB cream it liked, but there is a first time for everything! Not feeling the nail polish either but we can’t always get what we want I guess haha. Total bag envy this month at some of you! :p

Fading, what color nail polish does your profile show?

Jackie

Anyone else think the bag this month is hideous? Usually I love Ipsy bags.

3 out 5 are the same that Liz got –
Too Faced Lip Injection Extreme
Rodial Dragon’s Blood Hyaluronic Tonic (I can just imagine a conversation about this, “Wow your skin looks great, what are you using?” “DRAGON’S BLOOD” – I can only hope)
Eva NYC Forget me Knot Dry Conditioner (Which I did not even know existed)
tre’stique Mini Highlighter (I loathe this brand)
Be a Bombshell Cosemetics Nail Polish

Overall not a bad bag. I’m planning on cancelling in October, so – eh. I really just want that Halloween bag.

Cassie

Jackie, I don’t like the bag either, but maybe it will look better in person. What color nail polish does your profile show?

Reply ButtonReply

Jackie

Hopefully!
The nail polish is showing the same shade as Liz (and it says in either Holy Fushia or Va Voom).

Cassie

ATTENTION IPSTERS: If you are receiving the Be a Bombshell nail polish, which color is showing in your profile? One subscriber on here said she always gets the color that shows in her profile, but I’ve never paid attention. I was just curious if anyone’s is showing the Va Voom color. Mine is showing fuschia, but I’m hoping for the other one.

kate

Mine is also showing fuchsia but last month it showed the maroon ciate nail polish but I actually got the lavender, yay.

Reply ButtonReply

MzBev

Mine is showing the holy fuschia also hoping for the other one! For August I had the Ciate burgundy color showing in my glam bag & received the lavender one.

Reply ButtonReply

Shirley

Mine shows a pic of the Holy Fuschia nail polish, as well. Out of curiosity, I checked my past bags where there is a choice of colors for a particular product (FYI – September is my 3rd month with Ipsy). My reveal for July showed a picture of TheBalm eye shadow in Matt Kumar, and that is what I received in my bag. However, August’s reveal showed a picture of NYX Born to Glow Liquid Illuminator in Gleam, but I received Sunbeam.

Not enough quantitative evidence to determine one way or the other, so I am just going to cross my fingers and hope I get this month’s nail polish in Va Voom.

Somebody tell me if I should be happy or sad to be getting what I’m supposed to be getting:
– Clark’s Botanicals Age Defying Radiance Cream
– Eau Thermale Avène Hydrance Optimale Hydrating Serum
– IT Cosmetics Superhero™ Mascara in Super Black (I don’t do eye makeup)
– Coastal Scents Medium Shadow Brush (ditto)
– tre’StiQue Mini Highlight Stick in Maldives Luminescent (I don’t do highlighting)
To be very, very honest I just don’t know what to think …

Renee

I don’t wear a lot of make-up so I covet the skin and hair stuff, too. I was hoping to get the Clark’s Botanicals. Overall, you have a good box.

Carla

I would have been thrilled to get those skincare products! I tend to get more excited about skin and haircare, as I keep my makeup simple. Because Ipsy is primarily a makeup sub, I know to expect makeup products that I would normally not seek out on my own. That makes the experience fun for me. I’m a little jealous about your highlighter–I’ve never tried highlighter and keep hoping to get it in a sub!

Funny! I posted this exact content and sort of said the same thing, I think it is pretty good but was wondering what others thought…I did get a response from one other person that said it was a great bag! I don’t know about the highlight stick because I received a couple different types of highlighters in previous bags—but I’m new to all of this, so I’m willing to try it all.

Thank you for letting me know! Now I feel a little better. This is my second bag, the very first being 2 years ago, and I keep getting eye makeup and brushes (both of which I have unchecked on my profile). How interesting…

I really like the design of this bag and what i’m getting! I was thinking of cancelling a few subs including this one since I have so many products to use up, but will keep this one 🙂

I’m receiving;
1) Too Faced Lip Injection Extreme (so surprised I’m getting this)!
2) Nuxe Moisturing Mask
3) Coastal Scents Medium Shadow Brush
4) Befine Exfoliating Cleanser
5) Trust Fund Beauty Nail Polish
