Ipsy September 2017 SPOILERS + Glam Bag Reveal!

I am just not liking the bags. July was adorable but other than that….. I’m not feeling it. We should get a choice.

I think is nude beach

To me it looks like a very wearable peachy color

Looks like a watermelon type shade.

Hi, I wasn’t aware you can could request items for the next bag? How do you do that? Thank you in advance.

I saw pics of a black bag from before I signed up, but I’ve had ipsy going on 3 years and never had one like that. Hopefully it will be classy looking as it seems.

I agree with Jackie S. The point is to send things for you to try and review. I’ve been a member for only 5 months, and I’ve gotten things that I didn’t care for. I’ve noticed that since they gotten to know my preferences they’ve started sending items that I profiled just in different shades and manufacturers. I make sure that I post a review for every item wether I like them or not in my case they seem to be hearing me. I’m sorry that you feel like they are ignoring you, I assure you that they are hearing you. I’ve sent emails to ipsy when I had any questions about this and I’ve always gotten a response. Be patient and good luck. 😁

Since when do we literally get to choose what Ipsy sends us???

Becky,
Are you reviewing the products you get each month? Some people just mark how many “hearts” they rate the products but don’t write anything below it. You don’t have to write a lot just a few sentences. I think it helps them better understand why you rated a particular product the way you did.
I would advise emailing ipsycare & ask for the ipsy match people to look at your profile to get it more in line with your coloring & wants. Explain a little about your hair/skin & what does & doesn’t work for you.
That being said, I think unfortunately we’re almost always going to get items we’d never use. I have so many brown eye shadows it’s ridiculous. I always say in a review that I have too many browns & mention alternative colors. Doesn’t always work but I have noticed over the past 2 months I’m different colors or not at all.
I also personally think they have an over abundance of brown eye shadow & black eyeliner.
You could also try the swap section on here & I’d be happy to swap with you if you want. I’m a medium skinned brunette. Hope that helps. I’m sure others on here will offer helpful info. Lots of good feedback on here.

Just because you don’t check off products on the profile doesn’t mean your not going to get them. The whole point of sub boxes is to try things you normally wouldn’t try and step out of your comfort zone. The only way your guaranteed not to get something is if you specifically ask ipsy via email to opt out of 2 products. So if you don’t want blush or eyeshadow, tell ipsy customer service you want to opt out of those.

How do you request?

You can just request 1 spoiler per month

You can also opt out of two categories (I’m opted out of brushes and eyeliner). Another way to help your bag be better for you.

You can request more than one, HOWEVER you are only guaranteed to get one requested product. So you can say id like to get this and that, but you won’t get both.

Maybe it just depends on what you get – I got three full size items (i’m counting two yogurt masks as one full size, my eyeliner was full size, and my nail polish was full size). The other two (mascara and moisturizer) were big enough that I’m confident they will last me until the next bag!

My bag is supposed to be here Tues but I’m kind of bummed to hear about the sample size of the eye cream since I’m getting that also. NOT surprised about the Balm size as previous products I’ve gotten of that brand have been ridiculously small. I know…it’s $10 but some/a lot of the products I get are crazy small.

Felt exactly the same! Super tiny!

When I 1st signed up w/ Ipsy, I signed up w/ Birchbox as well. At the time, I thought I needed to choose between the two due to our budget. I misunderstood what my hubby was saying…. Idk how but that 1st month, Birchbox nailed it & Ipsy did not. So, I canceled Ipsy & missed out on a very pretty bag & an awesome product month as well. I resubscribed but it was too late for that month. Birchbox lasted 6 months, 3 more than I should have given them & when I go look at what others are still getting a year and a half later, it’s the same damn stuff! I’ve been w/ Ipsy for a year and a half. Some months I’m like WTH? But mostly, they’re awesome! By far the best $10 beauty sub out there! In my opinion. I consider a 3/5 profile match a good month. This month I got 4/5 profile match. I just don’t like the color of one but it’s still a match. Give it a couple of months & don’t hesitate to start a friendly conversation w/ ipsycare.

My first Ipsy bag wasn’t as great as I thought it would be, but the two months Ipsy bags I received were spot on and it exceeded my expectations! It helps if you rate the items and tell customer service what your preferences are or if you redo your beauty quiz. I don’t think you can opt out of specific brands, but I know you can request to opt out of certain types of products. Hopefully this helps!

I just received a response from Ipsy stating no to the MAC item. 🙁

Yeah, I was interested in that too but with no pic I’m wondering if it’s going to be shimmery & I’m more into mattes & I have hooded eyes. Let me know how you like it.

If you really don’t want a certain type of item you can opt out (like brushes). You can opt out of two categories. Just email them like you did to request the oil.

Thanks for letting us know. I had no idea this option was available now.

I believe if you request for a product from the first list of spoilers, they can guarantee that you’ll get that product. The other spoilers are not guaranteed products.

If there is something that you like, go ahead and ask. I’ve never had a problem. All they can do is deny the request and give you something else. I’m undecided so I did not email them this round.

I requested the Neogen white truffle serum yesterday (kind of wish I had waited since I’ve now seen the Mac product). I received a reply within 3 hours or so advising me I would get this in my September bag.
I’ve also received about 5-6 black eyeliners in my 8 month subscription so I completely relate. You probably know more than I do about specific requests but have you asked them to opt out of that all together? I just removed it from my profile at the end of July & I’m not getting one this month. if I get one in September’s bag then I will contact them to opt out. I’ve had to contact them several times since I started & they have always worked with me. I also always mention in my monthly reviews how I seem to get black eyeliner a lot & suggest other colors I would prefer.
Just my 2 cents.

I’ve requested 2 products and they’ve always said that I would receive at least one of them but sometimes I get both…

Same! I tried to email them and opt out of black eyeliner but I was told I can only opt out of eyeliners completely, which I understand but it’s still a bummer. I’d love to receive a different shade, but I just keep receiving black over and over and over…..

I think I could open a black eyeliner store. SIREN’S BLACK EYELINER STORE, EVERYTHING $1!!
::sigh::

Honestly same tho, I never seem to avoid the black eyeliner, I always get it… liquid or pencil.

I just cancelled my Ipsy acct yesterday because I’m getting yet another Black Eyeliner. Every month I get them, and i rate them badly!!! Yet they still keep sending. Not anymore. August is my last bag. So many other great items and they send the same cr@p over and over.

If you do, I will swap you something for it. I may be the last person on earth who loves a black eyeliner!!

The spoiler sizes are shown above in the picture with the bag, for those who are asking.

It’s a high end brand so it’ll def be a sample size.

Sometimes there full size sometimes there Minis it just depends

Subs sometimes link to the full sized product even though they’ll be sending the travel/sample size. They pictured the sample sized mascara in the top photo above along with other potential products that could be in the bag.

I am totally here for the fun bags!

Uh, that doesn’t sound right.

But out of 3 months, I got 1 super cute bag (ice cream cones,) 1 sorta cute bag (lazy sad egg) & one I’ll be gifting eventually (lips.) My real problem was what was IN the bags, not being able to select opt-out permanently & getting repeat items (like how some people keep getting black eyeliners.)

I agree. I love the fun bags but at times a simple bag is best.
