Finally saw mine. Only 1 bad product this month, so it’s ok, and really the product is fine it’s just the color is terrible for me. A red/orange lipstick – nope.
For the good news I’m getting the MAC mascara, the SLMissGlam brush which is for blush and highlight and looks pretty in the pic, a brow pencil from billion dollar brows and the Purlisse watermelon moisturizer balm stuff.
So 1 ipsy item is going straight to the swaps. I might put the mascara up bc I have so dang many and it’s not waterproof. I had been hoping for the thrive tbh. I have been wanting to try that, but idk. Anyways, it’s so much better than July!

I am getting:
Black tea London Serim,
Lychee + gold blush (anyone know anything about this product)?
The porefessional primer,
Lipgasm lipgloss,
and the Juice Up sheet masks.
I was sort of hoping for one of the mascaras, but I’m not disappointed. Anyone have overlap?

I’m getting the MUFE pencil in Walnut (?), Coola in Golden (seems like an unusual color for me) TonyMoly Black tea Serum, A collagen eye cream, and kaleido Blush . The reveal was up at 11pm central time. Saw it once and now it won’t show up again.

People who know how to do hack ( google Ipsy hack tutorial) were able to see what they got as early as the 1st. The rest of us will see ours tomorrow according to Ipsy site where it says by the glam bag that reveal will be the 6th.

So many things I know I would love. Hoping I get at least a few of them and it’s not a repeat of July where they sent me a bunch of stuff I didn’t select on my quiz thing. I have a feeling that I’m going to be stuck with that blush duo forever. Nobody wants it, even in the swaps lol

Aaaannnd that 80’s blue eyeliner… 🙄 Plus I got that bright purple lipstick from ipsy! What is a woman in her 40’s going to do with that?! I’m not the only one that got it even though it’s not a color I have marked and I’m actually opted out of lipstick. Seriously ipsy? In the ipsy shipping email, it states why they sent each product and it says,’We thought you would like to try this!’ Y’all thought wrong! I don’t care that it’s a special color only for sub boxes or that it costs over $30. Lol! No thank you. When I was 21, sure! I sent a polite email asking wth? Blasé response and you should be thankful you got that lipstick because, see above… I started a new email because of the obvious bit of snobby attitude about it. I’ve noticed that about ipsycare this year. Second email went well, got to pick 1 out of 4 products for my August bag.
Pezzy
I do not have blush, bronzer, or highligher selected anywhere throughout the quiz. Not on the loved products page, not on the colors page. I only have eyeshadow, concealer, foundation, and all the lip products selected. I am not getting any of the items I have selected. I am getting a bronzer/blush, a highlighter, an eyeshadow, and two skincare products. UNSUBBED. BYE FELICIA

The Huda lipstick comes in 3 colors . I found this under Beauty News on Ipsy site the article with the twins.
Trophy Wife is a deep rosy nude that we can’t wait to wear to brunches, weddings, baby showers, and dates. (Yes, it’s THAT versatile.)
Bombshell is a universally flattering pinkish nude that looked amazing on everyone at ipsy HQ who tried it.
Flirt is a lowkey nude brown that looks fab with amped-up eye looks.
ipsters will receive Trophy Wife, Bombshell, OR Flirt

Hack is live for me!
I’m getting the SLMissGlam brush, Benefit Professional (I will definitely swap this though due to the Bismuth Oxychloride in it), the Hey Honey mask, the Tony Moly serum, and what looks like a Seraphine Botanicals blush? It’s definitely not one of the spoiled items and is in a white package and it’s a coral/peachy color.

it looks like i’m getting:
*COOLA Mineral Face SPF 30 Rosilliance BB+ Cream in Golden
*12 BENEFITS Instant Healthy Hair Treatment
*M·A·C False Lashes Mascara in Extreme Black
*Make Up For Ever Artist Everywhere Pencil
*SLMissGlam brush
wanted to try the Huda lippie but I think i’m more excited about trying the hoola bb cream and overall I’m happy with my bag.

Hack is live for me too:
– Ofra eyeshadow in blue jeans
– hey honey mask
– purlisse watermelon moisturizer
– mac mascara
– trust fund beauty lipgloss

What’s the hack??
Kay
Live for me too! I’m getting that pretty glittery brush, Ciate highlighter, The Balm shadow (looks like a pretty color too), Glow for a Cause balm, and Glamour Dolls gloss. Since I love eye shadows and lip products, this bag is a serious win for me! I may give the highlighter to my friend though because she recently told me she’s never used a highlighter before but she loves the idea of a little sparkle in her makeup. It would make her day and that looks like a really sparkly highlighter ^__^
Nicole
If you don’t mind me asking, do you know of a decent swap group for this stuff? I’m starting to accumulate items I won’t use and would like to do some trades but can’t quite figure out the best place to go for that. You got a great bag. I’m really hoping for that serum, the hey honey and that brush! In a perfect world I’d like the smashbox concealer and the ciate highlighter to go with it. One can dream, lol!

I just hope I don’t end up with another eyeshadow brush or gawdy colored anything. I do wish they would take age into consideration.
Reply
Sarah
To be fair, I’m 42 and I rock the bold colors. However, I blend them so I look like I wear bolder makeup, rather than Pennywise’s twin sister.
Also, they pay no attention to age. I got that candy floss (50 freaking shades of OMGFLUORESCENTPINK) lipstick last month. I’m still deciding if I want to open it.
Reply
Dawn
To each their own I guess. I just don’t like it on me anymore. I’ve been with ipsy for over 2 1/2 years. I’ve been saying for 2 1/2 years that I do not wear eyeshadow very often at all. Please don’t send me eyeshadow brushes as it’s a complete waste. So many other ipsy subscribers would LOVE to have them. I rate them at a 1 heart every time.
At this point, I’m actually opted out of lipstick. In my profile, should I get lipstick, the shades I have chosen certainly are not bright purple. But last month, I got a stick lipstick by La Beaute Fattale in Vibrate. Why?! It’s a lipstick shade specifically for subs and retails for a little over $30. I would have loved this in my teens and 20’s but not at all now. I used to have eyeshadow, eyeliner, lipstick and nail polish to go with everything I owned. But that was before marriage, children, nursing, divorce, remarried, stepchildren and a chronic illness. Now, I just want the most natural look I can but still cover the dang melasma.

Yes! There’s a huge difference in products an 18 yr old vs. a 50 yr old is going to want.

I got that bright purple lipstick. Vibrate is the name of the color by La Beaute Fatale, it was specifically made for sub boxes, retail around $30. I don’t have lipstick marked and I’m actually opted out of it. Plus, should I get lipstick/lip color, purple is NOT a color I have as something I would want. I probably would’ve rocked the hell out of it in my late teens and early 20’s but not at 43. It’s not Halloween. 🙄

I know at 18 I wore neutrals now I am 44 and want bright, neon and sparkly colors . I hate neutrals now.

There are New items in the survey for the next 3 months. I just updated mine. However they never give me what I say yes to. They actually send items I say no to.

Anybody else having that app still show July? The top says August but there’s not progress bar and I’ve already been billed late yesterday? Lol can’t wait to see what I get these all look good.
Reply
Kay
Mine still shows July for the tracking stuff, because it never showed as delivered by the company that shipped it (I did get it, it just still shows as in the warehouse) and I think that is throwing it off on mine.
Reply
Laura Z
Yeah I think it’s been acting up mine did that to, It’s the 5th now and still shows ipsy match instead of the spoilers 😒

I am getting Huda in Trophy Wife, which was my #1 pick…yay!!! I don’t know my other 4 items but I want MAC, makeup brush, Purlisse, Kat Von D(or Smashbox), Eyeshadow quad, Honey mask, or 12 benefits.

I had never heard of this — thanks for the tip! Found instructions on Reddit and can see all five items I’ll be getting. This is exciting (even though the items are not).

I can NEVER get the hack to work for me. I follow the directions but guess I’m not computer savvy enough & must be doing it incorrectly 🙁
Reply

I found that the hack only works on a computer. A tablet or phone wont work for it.

Try going to the 5th padding-15 instead of the 4th. That worked for me. 🙂

What is this Hack Live thing??? And how does it work???

I’m impressed that the hack is already live for you. I still see the generic banner when I try.

The Huda lipstick comes in 3 colors I like all 3. I hope to get the Huda, Smash box lid primer or concealer whatever it is shows lid primer on Ipsy. I wish the purlisse was watermelon sheet mask I am opted out of moisturizer. I want the little eye shadow palette. I played with my profile let’s see if it works this time.

When does Ipsy usually charge the credit card? Exactly on the 1st of the month?

Thank you! Mine got charged later today, usually I already see the charge when I wake up, so that confused me 🤨

I decided to get a 2nd bag for a month while I paused beautyfix. But dangit didn’t do it early enough, says my 1st bag is September lol

You can email them and tell them you want August’s bag. They will send it if it’s availabke.

Thank you so much, I was able to get it!

I tried to skip August yesterday and apparently wasn’t early enough, either — skipping September and have already been billed for August. 😐

There’s so much I love in the spoilers this month! I would loooooove the Tonymoly Black Tea Serum, Youth to the People Moisturizer, Smashbox Concealer, Kat Von D Concealer, Juice Up Sheet Masks, and Benefit Porefessional Pearl Primer. I’ve thoroughly edited my profile. Fingers crossed!!
Reply
Emily
Used the hack…getting Purlisse Moisturizer, The Balm eyeshadow (meh), Mac mascara (meh), adessa nail polish, and hey honey mask. None of the items I really wanted, but at least 3/5 are things I’m interested in trying and 5/5 will be used. Better than July that’s for sure.
