Ok- so this is new ! This month when I checked my items I was very happy with what appeared in my glam bag . Fast Forward to today and when I opened my bag NOT ONE item matched my glam bag profile and the brow pencil was sent in a crushed box along with a Cosmoholic nail polish with NO information on the bottle?

I do not understand this level of lacking customer service. I have reached out to Ipsy – hopefully they will resolve this is a positive ,manner

My bag came today and I got:
Beaute Basics Satin Taupe Eyeshadow
The Balm Hot Mama Blush
Essence Cosmetics Superfine Eyeliner Pen
Indi Beauty Buttercream Antioxidant Lip Scrub
and the iridescent nail polish

This is my second month with Ipsy, and I feel so …IDK discontented?? My first bag was not good last month, I felt like it was left over junk thrown into a bag and no lip product and this month no lip product. I got another eyeliner this month, which I won’t use. Granted this months bag is better than last months, so I’ll go one more time and re evaluate if I want to stay with them. I know it’s only ten bucks but still……

I’m getting:

Essence eyeliner

Vintage eyeshadow

Teeez lipstick

Makeup forever foundation

Aqua

I hate to sound like a jerk, but the eyeliner is like $3. So, even though this will be the very first liquid liner I have received in ipsy, I’m a bit disappointed. Maybe it’ll be great though, who knows.

I’m also unsure about the foundation. I doubt what they send will be close to my color :/ I suppose I could get lucky.

The lipstick looks beautiful. (Am I wrong or is this similar to the tat2u one we are getting in boxycharm? My memory is terrible.)

Excited to try the aqua face stuff (again, bad memory. I cant recall what it’s called off hand).

The eyshadow is pretty. But I am ready for some colorful eyeshadows. We are getting browns again in boxycharm. Seems to be the safe choice, can’t really blame them for that, I guess.

After contacting Ipsy about yet another nail polish in my bag and explaining that I have reviewed every bag but I still have been getting nail polish every month they responded and said they apologize and have added a note onto my account that says I can not use nail polish due to a medical condition and not to send me anymore nail products. They also have sent me a gift to make up for their mistake. I couldn’t believe it. This is how good customer service is supposed to be. Ipsy obviously values their subscribers. Allure and GlossyBox should take note.

Hmm, has anyone noticed a change in where their package is originating? Usually they come from NC I think, but today my tracking shows it’s originating in Ft Worth, TX!!! If that’s true, it lessens the transit time by a couple days for me (Colorado).

I’m getting:
theBalm Cosmetics Hot Mama Blush – meh
NUDESTIX Concealer Pencil in Light 2 or Medium (hopefully light 2) – actually interested in this
Trust Fund Beauty Gimme Good Face Face Primer – kinda excited, kinda meh
INDI BEAUTY Buttercream Antioxidant Lip Scrub – eh, okay I guess
Promise Organic Nourishing Coconut Milk Face Lotion with Hibiscus – that’s a mouthful. It also has aloe as it’s first ingredient so I can’t even use it.

Ipsy really needs to figure out how to get allergy info, because this is getting annoying. I literally get at least one item with aloe every month. I feel gypped! What’s the point in paying for something when I can’t even use it? Ugh.

Wow! Sounds like a pretty disgruntled bunch this month. I’m glad to say that I am pleased with my bag once again. I do often get 1 or 2 items that at first glance, I don’t think I’ll like, but I give ’em a try anyway & have been pleasantly surprised. It’s an adventurous $10 for me, more than worth it!! Also, I think this months bag is cute! I might fill it with candy & put it on my desk until Halloween. ?
And since we’re sharing, I’m getting:
TATCHA
PURE One Step Camellia Cleansing Oil. SCORE!!

Ciaté London, Fierce Flicks Eyeliner. What’s one more eyeliner? ?

tre’StiQue Matte Lip Crayon in Belize Bordeaux or Florence Fig. Here’s hoping I get the Fig, the other looks too Pink on my pale blue Irish skin.

pūr~lisse, Daily Lip Nourisher with Mango and Shea Butters. I love anything Pur-lisse.

Adesse New York, Liquid Chrome Organic Infused Nail Lacquer in Grand Central. Not something I would have picked up on my own, but it looks like fun, so why not?

All this & delivered for TEN Bucks! Ipsy, please…take my money!!??

MJ

Wow, that’s a great bag! I’m super jealous!

Rosamunde

Thanks MJ! I’m kind of excited too.? Anything Tatcha makes me happy & It seems like I get something Pur~lisse once a month in one of my Subs, I really like it. The liquid chrome nail laquer looks very interesting. From the video, it goes on as a top coat over colored nail polish & it alters that color. We’ll see!

I hope you get a good bag too!

I don’t know if it matters, but for people getting unsatisfactory items in their bags, when I review them, I’m pretty detailed. It might make a difference as my bags seem very well matched to my likes & dislikes. IDK.

Anybody else get an email about their glam bag shipping later than usual this month?

Brit

My bag is usually here around the 17th each month. I was expecting it to be later than normal this month because of the storm…(aren’t they based somewhere near there?)
I was pleasantly surprised to see that the estimated delivery date is the 13th.
Mine usually ships UPS at first until its dropped at USPS, and this time it’s DHL…which I’ve never heard of.

Katy

My bag comes from one of the Carolinas I believe so I was thinking it might be hurricane related. DHL is like Fed Ex but slower, for me anyway. Anytime my stuff goes to them, it gets sent to Cali then to Vegas. Fed Ex usually ends up in Phoenix then comes up to Vegas from there which typically means I get my stuff 2-3 days earlier than the estimated date. So Im definitely not a DHL fan.

Renee

Yep, weather-related delivery delays.

I *love* the little bag. If anyone here wants to donate it to me, I wouldn’t say no…lol

I’m receiving:

1) Tatcha – one step Camellia cleansing oil
2) Ciate London – Fierce Flicks eyeliner
3) Noyah – Natural lipstick in smoke or currant
4) Lottie London – Perfectly precise eye shadow brush
5) Pur-lisse – Daily lip mosturizer with mango & shea butter butters

This will be my 6th Ipsy bag and the third eyeshadow brush I’ll be receiving. I can’t say that I’m upset by it but I’m wishing that it could be a different type of brush–blush, contour, etc.

As for the eyeliner overload, I guess my son has something to add to his pirate makeup kit—AAArrrrgh!

I really like my bag this month:

-Beaute Satin Basics Taupe eyeshadow (looks so pretty!)
-the Balm in Hot Mama (I already have the full-size. It’s a really nice color)
-NYX eyeliner in vivid gunmetal gray (Yay for a fun liner!)
-Pure Brazilian leave in (have dry, curly hair so always on the hunt for a new HG)
-Lottie eyeshadow brush (can’t have too many)
And finally the bag itself – I LOVE it! It’s perfect for Halloween without being cheesy.

I feel Ipsy listens. My bag definitely reflects what I like (earthtones, shimmer, brushes, curly hair products, liquid liners). Keep doing those reviews because I do believe those really help.

After several years of bags and faithful reviewing October’s bag will not have a single item that matches my profile choices. Not in product type, brand, color or skin type. I is random.

Becca

They haven’t helped me at all. Out of 4 months i have received nail polish which i do not use and always give bad reviews and say please no more nail polish but they keep giving it to me anyway. Same thing for lipstick. I would like gloss, balm, stain but always get lipstick.

April

I am getting
*makeup forever foundation (i hope i get a color close to my shade or it’ll be useless)

*essence eyeliner (first liquid eyeliner I’ve ever received, believe it or not)

*aqua moist face thingy

*vintage eyeshadow
And
*teeez lipstick in romantic red

I’m not mad.

Here’s what I’m getting…

theBalm Cosmetics Hot Mama Blush-meh (I’ve only used Urban Decay blush, but I’m willing to give this a try)
tre’StiQue Matte Lip Crayon in Belize Bordeaux or Florence Fig-hate (I love that it’s matte but I hate both possible color options)
Trust Fund Beauty Gimme Good Face – Face Primer-Yay! (I’ve been using Lorac’s “I’m so sensitive” primer for awhile and it’s just not as amazing as it used to be so I’m super excited to try a new one)
Promise Organic Nourishing Coconut Milk Face Lotion with Hibiscus-yay(I love anything tropical smelling)
Lottie London Perfectly Precise Eyeshadow Brush-yay (I’m sort of a brush collector)

Overall I’d say this bag is pretty good. If they pay any attention to my profile then they are probably pretty confused. I checked both sultry and natural for makeup. I love to do smokey eyes, but I do a nude lip because I am just not a fan of red.

Blech. Hate the bag, got glittery eye shadow (no thanks) and yet another brow pencil and eyeliner. Can maybe like with the blush and eye gel. Bag and contents seem a good gift for a teen, so I’ll pass it on.

Hey Everyone,
Ugh, I’ve been with Ipsy for almost 2 years now and they used to send me decent items. But now its like a big hit or miss with my monthly bags and this month for me was certainly a miss.
I think its time for me to cancel

Jamie

Well, looks like I’m getting so so stuff

Tatcha cleansing oil
Ciate liquid eyeliner
Cosmoholic liquid lipstick in mysterious mocha
Lottie London eyeshadow brush
Patchology eye gels

I absolutely hate the bag. I’m a very fun-loving person, but it’s too juvenile. I wouldn’t be crazy about any Halloween-themed bag, but they could have done better than this, IMO.

And IpsyMatch is a joke. I’ve subbed for 2 years, and writing reviews, changing my profile, etc. have made absolutely no difference. It’s very hit or miss, with a whole lot of misses. Every month I wonder why I haven’t cancelled. 🙁

Hey Debbie,
I know how you feel, I practically wrote the same thing!! Do you subscribe to Boxycharm? If so great, if not, you should give it a try. I just joined and only got 2 boxes so far but I loved both of them. Anyway, I feel your pain with Ipsy and hope that you start getting stuff you like or find a better box.
Good Luck,
Jackie

I’m actually getting everything I wanted, the nail polish and blush I can’t remember the othe stuff but I’m happy. Just the eyeliner I didn’t want but my daughter loves eyeliner. I’m sorry to the others that didn’t. I’m usually not very happy but I share my cast offs so I’m never totally unpleased.
