Ipsy Reveals Are Up for the April 2017 Glam Bag!

Heads up for May:

“I’d also be happy to help you handpick at least one of your products for next month to help make up for the trouble. I’ve picked out some of our favorite products from May’s Glam Bag selection:

​–Urban Decay ​Afterglow in Sin
–Pacifica Island Life Eyeshadow Palette
–IT Cosmetics Superhero Elastic Stretch Volumizing Mascara in Black
–trèStiQue Mini Matte Lip Crayon in Tuscan Wine
–Luxie Beauty Luxie Dreamcatcher Precision Foundation Brush 660
–Briogeo Rosarco Milk™ Reparative Leave-In Conditioning Spray”

I already got my bag today!! Seems early but I’ll take it! I got the colour pop liner in dtla, toner, hikari cream shadow, ofra blush, and the twin nail polish. I like everything so much more now that I actually have it. The eyeliner works so well, and the polishes are gorgeous!

Dangit, I signed up just for the chance of getting this bag! Even though I’m off the waitlist, it looks like I won’t get one until next month. Boo 🙁

Sooo… I learned something interesting about Ipsy today. This might clear up some confusion amongst subscribers who did not receive a requested item. I sent support an email asking how to better tailor my profile so that my bags reflects my preferences. The representative responded:

‘We’re running a test with a small group of subscribers that allows them to express their product preferences for the upcoming month. I’d be happy to make an exception for you and help you pick out at least one product for your May bag, even though you weren’t part of the test group.’

So apparently not everyone can request an item for their upcoming bags? No idea how to find out if you’re in the test group or how to join (the rep responded, but did not answer that Q).

First time I can say I am not too thrilled about my bag…except for my brush (because I LOOOOOVE LISA FRANK & REQUESTED IT) and the eyeliner! Usually I love my bags and have only disliked maybe 3 bags since 2014. That being said I would still recommend them. I honestly love ipsy more than the Play by Sephora or Birchbox!

I am super angry with Ipsy. I requested the Lisa Frank brush, and even emailed twice as I did not receive a response. And guess what? It is not in my bag.

I have been an Ipsy subscriber for OVER 5 YEARS. They haven’t been responding to any of my emails. They could at least respond and say they can’t fulfill requests. But with long term subscribers? I am VERY frustrated.

I’m ecstatic with both of my bags this month!

Bag 1
Tony Moly lip balm
Ofra blush in peach (requested)
Lisa frank brush
Sol no poreblem primer
Skin co. Truffle oil toner

Bag 2
Lisa Frank brush
Sol no poreblem primer
Naked cosmetics pigment in heavy metal
Eau Thermale Avène Rich Compensating Cream ( I LOVE avene products)
Ciate bronzer

I really love ipsy and couldn’t have asked for more this month💜💜

Very pleased with my bag. This seems like a pretty high value bag this time around!

Luxie Dreamcatcher Precision Foundation Brush 660

THEORIE Marula Oil Transforming Hair Serum

EM Cosmetics Illustrative Eyeliner Brush Tip

I still cant see what Im getting is everybody using apple app to see theirs or is anybody seeing theirs on the ipsy site yet?

I feel a little silly asking this, but are we supposed to review the actual bag itself on the “Review The Glam Bag” link in our reviews? I have been giving it a rating based on the overall contents of the bag and realized it probably means to rate the actual bag.

My 2nd bag. Yet to see a bag twin. Getting:

LF blush brush 🤔
Mica highlighter #3 😮
H2O cleanser 😀
Tonymoly lip 😄
LB cream 😮

Didn’t bother to request since I’m a newbie but was excited that I get the lip product!
Not sure with the rest as I was hoping for a nail polish or toner. Still a good bag I suppose?

Does anyone else have a problem of not being able to see what they’re getting? It’s driving me crazy, haha! It’s on my second account (different email, different first name, different credit card, different profile), but I make sure that I always log out of my first account. I’ve tried Firefox, Safari, Chrome, AND my iPad, with no luck.

My Bag:

OFRA Cosmetics
Peach Blush, Format Blush, or Rendezvous Blush

defy & Inspire
Wear Resistant Nail Lacquer in Paradise Island

Glamour Dolls x Lisa Frank Angle Blush Brush

SKIN&CO Roma
Truffle Therapy Face Toner

I’m happy about the Lisa Frank brush– Love. But I’m super bummed/disappointed/mystified…. because I spoke to an agent earlier in the month & requested Colorpop eyeliner in Swerve & was told I’d be getting it… Another agent took over & seemed confused (hadn’t read all the past messages?)…. and well… no Colorpop eyeliner. Fail. =(

Anyone was to trade? I’m pretty flexible… The only thing I really want to keep is the brush.

I was really hoping for the Lisa Frank brush, but didn’t get it:(

I am getting a very nice bag!
Ofra blush
Peek eyeshadow
Ciate bamboo bronzer
Adesse lip butter
Theorie marula hair serum
I love it all! And the cute bag=)

I swear they must be messing with me. I have two subs that are completely different and ended up exactly the same and no twins here. I love the bag, but two is overkill. They’re on to me hahah

2 Lisa Frank brushes
2 Colorpop eyeliners
2 Mint Pear serums ($100 for the full size)
2 Dry shampoo Yayyyy I can’t ever have two many of these
2 Paradise nail polish.

I’m pretty happy with my bag! I’m getting:
SKIN&Co Roma Truffle Therapy Face Toner
Glamour Dolls x Lisa Frank Angle Blush Brush (requested this and I am SO happy!)
Adesse New York Cupuacu Butter Lip Balm (looks amazing!)
Hikari Cosmetics Cream Pigment Eyeshadow in Honey Dew (will probably swap this out)
ColourPop Cosmetics Creme Eye Pencil in unknown color (always happy for colourpop!)

I’m getting the:
*touch in SOL primer
*aloe soothing gel
*PEEK eyeshadow
*luxie foundation brush
*thebalm in mary-lou

I am a bit envious of those getting the colourpop eyeliner, but I think I’ll get a lot more use out of my items! With the coming of warmer weather, that aloe gel can’t get to me soon enough

(and while I enjoy the selection, I’m confused that they chose to match it with a carnival theme? The pool of april items seems biased towards skin care and pastel/neutral colors, not really jiving with the Outcast message lol)

Getting the following:
Elizabeth Mott
 Show Me Your Glow Shimmer Shadow & Highlighter
ColourPop Cosmetics
Crème Gel Pencil
H2O+ Beauty Elements Keep It Fresh Cleanser
Adesse New York Cupuaçu Butter Lip Balm™

Glamour Dolls x Lisa Frank Angle Blush Brush

Would had loved to get the SkinFix Cleanser or the Avene cream instead of the Glamour Dolls brush though.

Does anyone know how long it normally takes to get an invite to the swaps site? I just put in to join and am hoping someone will swap the Lisa Frank brush.

Totally love everything I’m getting besides the Lisa frank slanted brush, that’s not rly my thing. But I’m getting a Colourpop liner which is what I wanted the most! Mica beauty highlight powder, hanalei aloe soothing gel, hey honey besame mucho lip balm. So I’m happy with everything except the Lisa frank brush, I’m most excited for the colourpop eyeliner and can’t wait to see what color I get!

Here’s what’s in my bag:

OFRA Cosmetics Blush
Defy & Inspire Wear Resistant Nail Lacquer
SKIN&CO Roma Truffle Therapy Face Toner
ColourPop Cosmetics Creme Gel Pencil
Peek Beauty Naturally Long Wearing Eye Shadow

I’m pretty excited to try all the items in my bag this month especially the face toner.

I got:
MicaBeauty Highlighting Powder in Shade #3

SKIN&CO Roma Truffle Therapy Face Toner

Glamour Dolls x Lisa Frank Angle Blush Brush

Ciaté London Mini Bamboo Bronzer in Star Island

Hey Honey Besame Mucho

Love most of the items other than the fact that comparing them to full size, they are pretty small.. and the Lisa Frank brush is only $5 so im a bit worried about the quality. But the bag is cute 🙂

I don’t think I have a bag twin yet…

First of all, I am so bummed I didn’t get the Lisa Frank brush! 🙁 My childhood self wants it so badly but my adult self is telling me it’s not that big of a deal.

I’m getting:
– H2O+ Beauty Cleanser
– ColourPop Creme Gel Pencil
– Hey Honey Besame Mucho Lip Balm
– Naked Cosmetics Heavy Metal #04 (are we all just getting the reject leftovers?)
– Luxie Beauty Dreamcatcher Precision Foundation Brush (660)

I’m… a little underwhelmed. I pretty much got the same “formula” as my last month’s bag: a cleanser, a brush, an eyeshadow, an eyeliner, and a lip product (March: lip paint, April: lip balm).

Has anyone used the ColourPop pencil? I seriously cannot wear anything but liquid eyeliner because any other type of eyeliner tugs on my eyelids (no matter how “smooth” or “creamy” they claim to be).

This will be my third month in a row of non-liquid eyeliner and I want to know if I should try this one or not. I tried the other two, and they didn’t work for me and I don’t want to give them away now because they’ve already been used.

I don’t love nor hate the bag design this month. I think the idea is cute but I wish they used different colors 😕

This month I’m getting-

– OFRA Blush
– EM Illustrative Eyeliner Brush
– Hanalei Aloe Soothing Gel
– Hikari Cream Pigment Eyeshadow in Honey Dew
– Hey Honey Besame Mucho

I’m still upset that they kept sending me eyeliners 🙄 It seems like I get an eyeliner almost every month. I love eyeliner but I only use gel, not pen or stick. I’m curious about the Hanalei Aloe Soothing Gel & the Hey Honey Besame Mucho though! Not a bad bag 😇
