Some Ipsy subscribers have been given the option to select one of their samples for the April box via email. And if you email ipsy, they'll likely help you select a sample, too!

From Ipsy:

Thanks for writing to ipsyCare! We sent that offer to some subscribers as part of a small test we're running. I'd be happy to make an exception for you and help you pick out a product for your April bag, even though you weren't part of the test group. Let me know which product you'd like!

--OFRA Cosmetics Blush in Rendezvous
--Glamour Dolls x Lisa Frank Angle Blush Brush
--Tony Moly Liptone LipCare Stick in Rose Blossom, Mint Light, or Honey Moisture
--Hanalei Aloe Soothing Gel
--Luseta Volume Reviving Dry Shampoo in Potpourri

Please let me know which one is your favorite by the 30th and I'll make sure that it's included in your April Glam Bag!

ipsy-april-2017

If you'd like to select a sample for April, I recommend emailing [email protected] with your sample choice from the 5 items listed above.

This isn't a guarantee, and I'm not sure how long this option to select your sample will be available for, but it's worth trying!

Are you going to email Ipsy and request a sample? Which one are you picking?

The first look at the April glam bag is posted on Ipsy with a blush compact that I’m guessing might be the OFRA blush.

Oooo, I might have to email now. I was thinking of skipping the sample request this month, since I didn’t have a strong preference for any of the options. However, if eyeliners other than black are on the table I’ll be very happy!

Zoe

I requested the brush as well and this is the response I received:

Thanks for writing to ipsyCare and I definitely understand your concern.

We sent that offer to some subscribers as part of a small test we’re running. I’d be happy to make an exception for you and help you pick out a product for your April bag, even though you weren’t part of the test group.

I’ve made sure that your Glamour Dolls x Lisa Frank Angle Blush Brush will be included in your April Glam Bag. I think you’ll love it. 🙂

Just let me know if there’s anything else I can do to make your Glam Bag experience even better!

Last month I had a different person who in my opinion didn’t go through the technicalities of not being part of the test group. I’m hopeful to get the brush but we’ll see.

I have my preferences set up so I won’t get the dry shampoo and I don’t have a preference on the rest. I did email asking to NOT get the Hanalei Aloe Soothing Gel because I’m highly allergic to aloe. I really wish they could mark allergies. They did say a few months back that they’re working on a system for that, so here’s hoping they can figure out how that would work!

I just emailed Ipsy about 45 mins ago, requesting the Lisa Frank brush, and I already got a response telling me I would be receiving it in my April bag!! 😍 Yaaay!! Thanks Liz! 😘
I absolutely looooved Lisa Frank when I was a kid! I still think the collection is beautiful! Love the colorz!

I got my first ipsy bag today (the feb bag) and the nail polish had spilled in its box all over. The makeup formulas had separated with an oily film on top from shipping all week cross country. I emailed customer service for a refund- so not impressed!

I just received my first one as well. The shipment was in was delayed in Mississippi for 3-4 days due to the weather. Could be the same for yours.

Jackie

They gave pretty good customer service, I’m sure they will solve the problem. I’ve never had an issue with an order, and it might be worth it to try for another month – it may have just been a fluke!

Reply ButtonReply

Kc

Yes I already paid for March so giving it another chance. They don’t do refunds apparently but they are sending me another bag.

Regina

I could not resist the brush…..I contacted them this morning and I am getting it! Every time I have requested anything, they are always good about making sure it is in my bag!

Just so everyone who is requesting the brush knows – Glamour Dolls is doing a kickstarter for their Lisa Frank collab. If you support based on various tiers you get a variety of Lisa Frank products that are colorful and cruelty-free!!!!

The brush is the first piece in the collection. 🙂

I didn’t see the brush on there, are you sure? Anyone else getting the $50 set? I shouldn’t but child in me doesn’t want to miss out on all the LF amazingness. Someone help me justify, stat!

Reply ButtonReply

Jackie

I don’t know that’s it’s one of the items in the kickstarter – but they are offering so many other goodies – I’m okay with that!

Emma

I don’t see it in the kickstarter info either. But GD has the single brush on their website for presale, shipping in April. It’s $4.99 for the brush and shipping was $2.99. So I caved. Even though I don’t like angled brushes. And since I preordered it, I am sure I will get it in both ipsy bags now. LOL.

Jodi

I need more dry shampoo but potpourri doesn’t really sound appealing as for something to put in my hair. I requested the brush. It looks a little juvenile but, it’s oh so cute 💕

Marion

I agree about the dry shampoo scent. Yikes.

I requested the brush. Please Dear Lord Baby Jesus let me get that brush. The 5 year old in me is about to cry and dance for excitement!!!!

I asked for the blush brush and got the email back that I would be receiving it. So very excited. Thanks for the heads up!!!

I emailed them about it and asked for the brush there response was pretty fast within the hour

These are all great choices! I went with the Tony Moly lip balm. The brush is so cute though!

I emailed them a few hours ago, just got a reply that they are fine with my pick. I’m so excited!!!

I asked for the mint lip balm. I can always be safe with lip products.

Susan T.

I requested either the brush or the Tonymoly lipbalm. Love both and will be happy with either! 🙂

I should be getting the snail cream in my March Ipsy bag. I contacted Ipsy care this morning asking if I could please have the Lisa Frank brush. They have already told me yes ! I really like being able to pick at least one product.

Reply ButtonReply

Courtney

I want to see if I’m going to get my pick for this month. I wanted the snail cream so if I get that, I’ll be a happy camper, if I don’t, I probably won’t keep this sub anymore. I’ve been thinking about canceling anyway, but if they give me what I asked for, I’ll stick around.

Reply ButtonReply

Samantha

I should probably follow your lead. I really didn’t like my bag last month, and I’ve only been really excited about a couple bags and felt so-so about most others. I’d live the TonyMoly lip balm and the Lisa Frank brush (btw, really funny, cause I said the bag last month looked like a pencil case for a Trapper Keeper, and maybe next, they’ll have something Lisa Frank!), but we’ll see if my March bag is any good.

Amanda

Oh my God. LISA FRANK. I looked up the kickstarter, I feel like I have to do the full amount, someone stop me! I don’t even like makeup brushes that much, but I feel like I NEED this to somehow magically get closure from all my childhood issues!! Anyone else find this site causes them to spend INSANELY huge amounts of money?

Me I check this site every hour n yes I spend money a lot I’m over load with beauty items lol

Courtney

Yes!!! Omg. I have added subscriptions, spent extra on others and gone crazy. 😔 Sigh! Welcome to sub addiction annonoymus my name is Courtney, and I’m addicted to sub boxes and my subscription addiction site! 😂

EC

I’ve been subbed to a total of 94 different ones over the last 4 years, if that makes you feel any better😬

Welcome Courtney! My name is Heather and I’m also a sub box addict…

I think I’m actually down to only 2 right now (Pearlesque and Home Chef) since 3B went on hiatus (though I did buy a Benevolent Beauty Mystery Box) – oh plus Walmart’s quarterly box if you count that. I buy Target boxes occasionally but not in the past several months.

Since I discovered MSA in Feb 2015, I have tried about 30 or so different boxes? With another 20 or so that I would like to try at some point! LOL

Svetlana7e

Courtney, how many subs to you have 🙂

Julie E

I couldn’t help myself, I asked for the brush! The little kid in me won the battle with my adult self on that one. It will definitely be used & be super cute in my makeup bag but will not be out for display in my bathroom!! 🙂

Is the aloe gel for body or face?

Isha

I couldn’t find it online anywhere.

Isha

I’m temped by the brush, but save for a fan brush, I need another like a fish needs a bicycle. Well stocked on the other item types, too, I asked for the Hanalei Aloe Soothing Gel. Anything Hawaiian sounding is soothing, just based on principle. And it can be an irritating world.

Roxy D'Agostino

LOL, I pictured a fish on a bicycle!

Never mind! My wish was provided for, not all that long after I wrote to Ipsy. 🙂 Some nice person named Alice said she’d make sure it would be in my April glam bag. 🙂

🙁 I got the auto reply about how they’re overwhelmed with requests already and I’m in queue for a response. But, hey, it’s worth a shot.

I begged for the brush. I hope they can reserve it for me.
