I do love the cosmetic bag but my two bags were unwhelming to say the least. I was really wanting the banana powder. I am going to buy it from the site.

Bag One:

Purlisse Coffee Scrub (This is the 3rd coffee scrub I’ve had in 6 months but I like them)
Vansanti Concealer Buffer Brush (No use for this)
NYX Lip Cream (I hope I don’t end up with the nude/pink one)
Nomad Cosmetics Highlighter (I do not need or want more highlighter)
Trisolla Leave in Hair Conditioner (I will try but as a rule I use hair oil and not cream conditioner)

Bag Two:

Sunday Riley Tidal Cream (do not like this at all)
Real Her Lipstick (I do not like this brand at all)
Delectable Hand Cream (I am obsessed with hand cream so yeah!)
Manna Kadar Eye Candy Shadow Stick in S’More (I am anxious to try this)
Beau Gachis Tapered Blending Brush (I have so many brushes but I love blending brushes)

I was so hoping for the Sunday Riley moisturizer! I swear every month they send me an eyeliner (black, of course) and a brush.

I don’t see option to review glam bag am I missing something?
I am getting tweezers YUCK
Nyx lippie in pink pink pink or brownish pink. I wanted smashbox
Delectable lotion in mint have already.
Finishing creme for hair in tiny tube
Sahi eyeshadow only thing I am happy about. Luckily I gifted my daughter a bag so hopefully we trade.

The option to review is available after you receive the bag. You can review past months anytime after receiving them.

Lisa

No usually you can review bag right away. You can’t review the products in bag til later. But in the year I have had Ipsy you have got to review bag as soon as you saw it.

TULA

Here is what I am receiving in my April GlamBag.

Not entirely sure how I feel about them yet? I believe I am very blessed though.

RUBY
Eyeshadow Blending Brush (hoping this one works better than the last shadow brush I received)

NYX PROFESSIONAL MAKEUP (I am not sure how much I like NYX brand still we will see after I try this one. I was hoping for the RealHer Moisture Lipstick or the Darker SmashBox shade )
Soft Matte Lip Cream in Istanbul, Sao Paulo, Ibiza, Milan, or Stockholm

PURIFECT BY SYMPHONY BEAUTY (This will be my first time trying a Cleansing Water)
Micellar Cleansing Water in Coconut

STEVE LAURANT BEAUTY (Seriously LOOKING FORWARD to trying this!)
Blush in Rosé All Day or I’m Blushing

BIORACE (I have always had larger pores, right at the area between my nose and slightly towards my cheeks. It will be great to see if this makes a difference?)
Pore Tightening Pearl Clay Mask

As far as colors go I am really looking for more deep colors for my lips and eyes.

When it comes to facial products I am looking for those that work with a changing hormonal balance.

Considering foundations I would like a creamy texture to try on my face that gives a smooth finished look.

I received the Meech and Mia Loose Eyeshadow in Copper, Trust Fund Beauty That Glo Tho Liquid Highlighter, Ciate London Fierce Flicks Liquid Eyeliner, Mudmasky Facial Detox Mask and Vasanti Concealer Buffer Brush.

Dianne

That’s an ideal bag! I am hoping I like what I get this month. I have yet to get banana setting powder, which is a big WANT… and I’ve never gotten a body scrub.. the one you are getting sounds great though! I’m jealous! 🙂

Reply ButtonReply

Anna

The banana setting powder is great, I’ve purchased several times since I first received it from Ipsy. The sad part is that I almost didn’t try it because I hadn’t liked the other BellaPierre products I’d tried.

Reply ButtonReply

Jessica

So jealous you’re getting the H2O and coffee scrub!

Reply ButtonReply

JennGwen

Just saw what’s in my bag. After a totally meh March, April looks really good. Bag is going to my teen niece, but keeping everything else. It’ll probably be my last bag, so great to go out with a bang!

That bag is gorgeous and usually I do not like anything with butterflies. But I love the colors and design!

Reply ButtonReply

Jessica

Can anyone help me figure out what I got?

It looks like the blue skincare item is Mudmasky Facial Detox Purifying Recovery Mask. I am getting that also:)

Diana

The pink tube is the ” that glow tho highligher” by trust fund beauty

Reply ButtonReply

amyr

I think that link shows all you got! How did you find it?

Reply ButtonReply

Jessica

Yeah, but it’s quite blurry and I can really only make out three items. Would like to know what the pink tube is.

melissa

If I sign up within the next few days, do I get this bag or will I get the May?

Reply ButtonReply

Jessica

It will likely be the May bag, but if you email Ipsy, they may be able to manually opt you in for April. I emailed them on December 9th and managed to get the December bag, I think it all depends on how much stock they have.

melissa

Thanks!

Lisa

There are a bunch of hack posts on Reddit and it looks like quite a few people are getting smashbox lippie so yay!! There is a lot of coffee scrub too. Wonder if it smells like coffee.

Reply ButtonReply

Jessica

Have you tried hacking? I’ve tried yesterday and today but can’t see anything yet.

Reply ButtonReply

Angelique

How long before they take you off the wait list if you choose not to post to social media? I was excited about my subscription but not a fan of them forcing this.

Reply ButtonReply

Lish

i e mailed support when i signed up because i dont do social media either. i got an email back within the day or the next…i cant remember and the took me off the wait list right after that!

Reply ButtonReply

Emily S.

I didn’t want to share on social media either. I emailed customer service when I joined ipsy last summer and asked to be removed from the waitlist and it worked. Might be worth a try!

Reply ButtonReply

Dawn

I sent the link to a friend on fb through messenger just letting them know I’m doing it to get off the waitlist. It worked.

Reply ButtonReply

olivier

you can add the posts to your social media account and then immediately delete the comments. but i’m not sure how long it takes to get off the waitlist.

Reply ButtonReply

Suzanne

What’re these hacks for? And what’s the waitlist for? Back in early March or whenever the butterfly bag was spoiled I went to Ipsy and became a member. No waitlist. No posting to social media. Please explain what that’s all about please!!

Brittany

Has anybody tried to hack it yet this month? I have tried multiple times and it won’t let me… did ipsy change there code so we can’t do it anymore?? Someone who knows computers please help!

Reply ButtonReply

Artemis

I have! Go to the beauty boxes subreddit, someone posted updated instructions. You have to use google chrome though.

Reply ButtonReply

Heather

Yes…I just did that. Please note–there will not be a picture pop up to share the glam bag like in the past. Instead, here will be writing under the bag that says “share glam bag” I did not realize this and was playing with the hack for an hour.

Kay

It almost never works until day 3 for me. It’s not that it’s not letting you, I just don’t think it has literally entered what you’re getting yet.

Reply ButtonReply

Jess

I think the butterfly theme is cute. I don’t know how I feel about the metallic corners though.. But I do love that the glam bags are getting a bit bigger.

Reply ButtonReply

Jessica

Has anyone tried to hack their Ipsy yet?

Reply ButtonReply

Mary

What do you mean by hacking your Ipsy. I want to try it. Please give. Me the details.

Reply ButtonReply

Heather

Check out the instructions here: https://www.reddit.com/r/BeautyBoxes/comments/88z8vg/ipsy_hack_is_live_my_attempt_at_instructions_for/

You have to hack the coding to see what is in your bag before they reveal it to you on the 4th of the month.

Emma

I haven’t been able to hack for months. (I don’t have social media to share to, but I used to be able to turn those off and click to have it show me.)

Reply ButtonReply

mylittlerose

it’s not letting me hack maybe tomorrow I hope

Reply ButtonReply

Annette

The Smashbox lipstick looks nice I like the glamour dolls brush too. I always love eyeshadow and I might like the retinol. I don’t want the foundation because I’m hearing it’s awful. That being said, I’ll probably end up with that foundation. I just hope my girls like their bags this month. They all got subscriptions for their birthdays this year and I don’t think they’ve had a good one yet.

Reply ButtonReply

Marion

Ooh, I’d love to get a lip stain! I’ve never gotten one of those from Ipsy.

Personally, I am not a fan of the bag. It it is way too gaudy. The styles of butterflies clash with each other. It looks very unprofessionally designed to me, like someone let an intern loose with a bunch of clipart stock.

Reply ButtonReply

Siren

Lol your metaphor is excellent! I recently decorated a flyer using a clipart butterfly photo that I copied and pasted in several different colors and just rotated a few of them to make them all look more unique. Pretty much the same technique as whoever designed this bag!

Reply ButtonReply

Diana Navarro

This looks like a great bag!

Reply ButtonReply

Christine

I’m most definitely an adult . . . and I want that star stamp liner anyways.

Ipsy spoilers never really count for much with the countless number of variations each month. I feel they are the least predictable bag I get each month.

Reply ButtonReply

Heather

I agree about changing your profile. I receive every product that isn’t even close to my profile, honestly. I’m thinking 🤔 about changing everything in my profile. Can’t get any worse.
I agree about the Sunday Riley, way overpriced. Try the products from (theordinary.com). Their products are so inexpensive and so amazing. Trust me you will not believe how wonderful they are.

Reply ButtonReply

JuJu

Ah, a woman after my own heart. I recommend The Ordinary to anybody who would listen. 😉

Reply ButtonReply

Selina

I second that, after buying expensive stuff from Estee Lauder and Lancome when I was younger and foolish, I now use skincare from the Ordinary and it works just as good for me, in fact, it cleared up my acne and held it off for the last year or so! 💕💕Not to mention how much $$$ I am saving on this brand!

Anie

I would be happy with the AURORA 24H Lip Stain and the Ciate Star stamp eyeliner

I got the Doucce mascara a few months ago in an Ipsy bag. It’s okay, not really a fan of the huge brush.

Reply ButtonReply

Heather F

Tip for Doucce mascaras…use after a separating mascara (I like Rollerlash) to build drama. The huge wands make it hard to get right against the eye, but it’s much easier to use them once you’ve got a coat of mascara on and get some volume.

Reply ButtonReply

Pink5

I’ve heard about that. Haven’t tried it, but I probably should.

I love the Rollerlash brown mascara.

Patti

Loooooooove this bag so much! I don’t care what’s in it.

Reply ButtonReply

Kem

I’d be happy with getting any of these:
DOUCCE Punk Volumizer Mascara
STEVE LAURANT BEAUTY Blush
Ciate London Star Stamp Eye Liner
NYX Soft matte Lip Cream (depending on the color, not the color in the picture that was shown)
BIORACE Clay Pore Mask
Clark’s Botanicals Retinol Rescue Overnight Cream

Even the foundation I would like to try but I doubt they’d get my skin tone right so I never have foundation or concealer checked off.

Reply ButtonReply

Charlotte

Hi Kem! You can put B.B. creams etc…to get a color close to your skin tone! Plus I would LOVE what you have marked from ipsy! Nice choices!

Reply ButtonReply

Traci

I seem to be in the minority but I HATE this bag! It’s one of the ugliest in a long time. Guess maybe it’s just too girly for me. 😉 Glad so many of you are happy w it though!!

Emily

I’m with you, but the bag is not a big deal to me.

Sharyn

I would have loved it had it not been for the cheap looking shiny corners. 🙁
