This is my first Ipsy bag. I am so disappointed 🙁 . I tried to research thoroughly so I would get the best subscription box for me. I thought that Ipsy sent full size items. ? Everything in my glam bag is so tiny!! I’m going to stick it out and get another glam bag but if everything I get in every bag is this small I will cancel. 🙁

Last month was my 1st month and I believe everything was Full-Sized. The value was over $70. This month I will get at least 4 full-sized items, so it is possible.
You can also ask for a specific item from a list every month by emailing them. I asked for the Luxie blush brush for February and a concealer for March. You still have time for March. HTH ☺

Thanks LunaLee. I received NOTHING full size!! Seriously,…..all my stuff was Teeeeny tiny. I don’t know how to ask for something. ?? I like being surprised, I would just like some full size items. 🙁
My glam bag this month was truly awful.

I want that luxie brush, I got the stippling brush a few months back and LOVED it!!! I would get ZERO use out of that nyx lipstick. I have too many red lipsticks from sub boxes it’s ridiculous. And I wouldn’t mind too much the IT cosmetics byebye under eye.

So far their customer service has been great. Hated my bag last month..they sent me a luxie brush as a gift. I asked them if I could opt out on certain brands. They said no not at this time but they are working on the bags being more customizable where you can pick and opt out of certain items and brands and pick an item you want. They let me pick this month and opt out on three items for the future

I know they’re also working on some way to mark allergies. I hated that I always got at least one thing I couldn’t use because it had aloe in it :/

I actually requested/am excited about the NYX lipstick in red (FINALLY no more weird mauve color)… so of course they’ll probably end up sending me something completely bizzare and totally useless to me instead.
Seriously, this is Ipsy’s last chance. (Yes, I review – in depth, I have done my three opt outs, my profile is filled out…)

Beyond annoyed with ipsy. I’ve hated myself most my bags, tried giving them a chance for a whole year. Unsubscribing right now

How do you opt out? I messaged ipsy care and asked how to do that and she said they don’t offer an opt-out. So confused. Maybe it was just for select people, or maybe the ipsy care rep was a bit off kilter.

You should try again. I emailed Ipsy Care the three products I wanted to opt-out on and received a reply a few hours later that it wouldn’t be a problem. I’ve had great luck with their CS so far.

Yeah its not a guaranteed thing, it’s something they are trying out. They may have decided they had a big enough test grou0p and aren’t doing it any more, or it may just be dependant on the service agent you get?

I emailed and the only response I ever got was the automated one telling me someone would respond within a few days. So far not very impressed and I haven’t even gotten my first bag. Lol.

I’m in the same boat, I so badly want to love my bags but I just tend to feel disappointed. January was a bit better for me, got the grey nail polish I wanted. If there isn’t at least 2-3 things this month that I will keep, then I may just put the money towards a different sub. I know I’m getting one item I want since I requested a nail polish, heres hoping the other 4 are good!

Ok, I just resubscribed to Ipsy, how do you go about making a choice, I don’t recall how to.
Reply

It’s not actually something they’ve fully implemented yet, it started with an email they sent a certain amount of people saying they could choose one item. Since, a lot of people have had success in emailing them to request one item and opt out of 3 but it’s not a guarantee, I have heard some people have been turned down. If its important to you then you could definitely email and ask 😀
I’m getting the Luxie brush in one of my bags and the Trust Fund Beauty nail polish in $12 Latte in my second bag. Pretty excited to see what else they’ll have for next month!

I requested the luxie brush, crossing my fingers they include it. I just got a similar it Cosmetics product in my Sephora box and won’t wear the nyx lippie. Hoping ipsy will be nice and agree to my request.

I requested the brush earlier this month. Excited for February !

I also requested the brush earlier this month and they said they would include it. It’s a blush brush. So excited.

I would like the Luxie brush or IT Cosmetics, but I’d be ok with the NYX if they give me the berry shade, even though I recently got a few berry shades and really don’t need any more. Debating if I should email and request a preferred item or chance it.

Brush, brush, please another brush!!

I agree about the lipstick. I don’t ever wear red and I won’t wear it either. So I’m hoping they stick with my preferences in my profile and not put that in my bag, but either the concealer or the brush would be fine with me!

Sara
I just got the concealer this month but hate NYX products, they don’t work for me. I guess I hope for the brush.
Reply
Laura
Anything but the lipstick. I would just give that away. I’d love either one of the other two.

Anything but another red lipstick. Love luxie brushes

Id be down for the luxie brush. But i just got the it concealer i like so i guess it wouldnt be that bad to get it again. But im not a fan of red lipstick at all, or really any lipstick that isnt liquid so i hope i dont get that. Hope more spoilers come out.

Ugh, I just got the IT Cosmetics this month. That lip color is WAY too bold for my very fair skin. I don’t need the brush, but I guess I’d take that over the other two. 🙁

Jessicups
Meh, not really anything for me out of those 3, which one swaps the easiest? lol. Hopefully the other spoilers are a little better suited for me. Though I know I’m guaranteed a nail polish which is pretty awesome!

I’ve gotten a Luxie brush and the IT undereye in the past 2 bags, so I guess I’ll definitely be getting the NYX. :/

Me too. I would love another luxie brush but I’m sure I’m going to get that nyx lipstick 😞
