I cancelled my Ipsy yesterday. I only started in May, 2017. 🙁 One of the reasons is now I get a couple of indie makeup subs, so I definitely don’t need more makeup. I get really tired of swapping / selling stuff… it’s OK sometimes, especially indie stuff that is more rare, but normally, I don’t like to do it (we’re at sub-zero temps here right now and for a while). I skipped last month’s Ipsy and this month’s Ipsy… then just decided to cancel. Maybe I’ll re-up for February and hope for something awesome for the month of Valentine’s Day. Don’t care so much about what a bag looks like for the most part, although that is a cute part of the Ipsy “deal.” I DO peruse the Ipsy offers weekly and bought the masks last week. I was excited when we could pick an item and when I signed up, you could only opt out of two categories, not three like some are (since they were grandfathered in on that). That was kind of a breaking point to me. I don’t wear foundation, powders, BB/CC creams, contour, bronzer, etc. I’m mainly about the eye shadow, mascara, concealer, lipstick, etc…. and I can get my favorite love – eye shadow – in my indie subs every month.
I’m looking more towards skincare ONLY now. I get Benevolent Beauty Box here and there (I do skip certain months, depending on if in town or if I’m on product overload), so I think I will re-up that for February and that’s all full-sized cruelty-free products. I didn’t like BoxyCharm, so nope on that. I’m perusing the vegan/natural/cruelty-free boxes on MSA right now. Skincare is my first priority and makeup is a close second. I’m 36 now, but skincare has been a big deal since my teens.
We’ll see on Ipsy for me, anyway. I hated Birchbox and I have thought of Play! by Sephora, but that looks equally as useless as Birchbox, so I might come back to Ipsy, but there are SO MANY boxes now, that I’m looking for quality over quantity. Not too expensive, but not so cheap that I can’t enjoy something that is natural/cruelty-free/vegan or vegetarian, etc.
