Ipsy Glam Bag Plus October 2018 Bag Spoiler!

ByLiz CadmanOct 5, 2018 | 109 comments

We have the first confirmed spoiler for the October Ipsy Glam Bag Plus! (Thanks for the heads up, Savi!) The bag design previously sent out to influencers will be the bag all subscribers will receive:

FYI - even though this subscription is called Ipsy Glam Bag Plus, and it is a monthly subscription box, you will only get the makeup bag once every three boxes. You will get a makeup bag in your first box. (So this bag is the makeup bag all new subscribers will receive if their first box is the October Box, the November Box, or the December box.)

If your first box is the October box, you'll receive this bag + 5 products in October, 5 products but no bag in November, 5 products but no bag in December, and then in January you would receive a new bag design + 5 products.

This one is a beautiful faux blush suede with burgundy accents. And there’s an outside card pocket:

Here I am holding it to give you a better sense of scale:

What do you think of the first confirmed spoiler? (FYI - you should be able to see what you're getting in your first Glam Bag Plus on 10/2).

This subscription is $25 a month and in waitlist mode. Check out our full Ipsy Glam Bag Plus FAQ post to learn more!

And if you are new to the regular Ipsy, it is a $10 a month beauty and makeup subscription box. Check out all of our Ipsy reviews to see what’s been in past boxes. And check out our Ipsy Spoilers to see what's coming up in future boxes!

Kayla

Did anyone else get charged more then $25?
I’m assuming it’s just tax, but I never had tax on the $10 a month one.

Jessica

It’s weird i live in FL and was expecting a sales tax, but no I was charged exactly $25.00

Annie

I’ve always had tax on mine. My regular bag was usually $10.83, and the Plus charged me $27.05

Kayla

Thank you!!

Me too

Lisa

Tax is new . There was a law passed that starting October 1st people depending where they live will be charged a sales tax.

SunnyT

I can’t wait for tomorrow to find out what everyone is getting… Including me!!! Hoping I get the Tarte mascara and purlisse mud mask! Wouldn’t mind the setting spray and lip balm too!

lmhilly

Anyone getting the glam bag plus and the regular bag on another account using the same credit card…now there is a billing error for the new account today for the regular glam bag. I keep putting that card in, still says billing error??? I only have one credit card

Annie

Ipsy just posted articles with some full size spoilers for the October Plus bag.

Listed:
-Ciate Dewy Spritz Luminous Prime & Set Spray
-Morphe High Impact Highlighter in Extra
-Tarte Maneater Voluptuous Mascara
-Eyeko Skinny Liquid Liner
-Smashbox Cover Shot Eye Palette in Bold Glitter
-Beauty by Popsugar Be Sweet Tinted Lip Balm in Blush Crush
-Purlisse Blue Lotus Seed Mud Mask + Exfoliant

Jessica

Wow, These spoilers are really disappointing compared to the PR bag. A frickin EYEKO Liner?? and that pallet is small…ugg, and a lip balm?? I like the blue lotus mask though, that is something i have wanted to purchase in the full size but couldn’t justify the price.

sara

I just read the posting on the IPSY sight you refer to. They do indeed say several of those items are ‘October’s Glam Bag Plus items.’

Personally, I’m not thrilled that the Eyeko Liner is in the Plus Bag. That’s in every $10 bag in the sub box universe, or it feels like that anyway.

And more Morphe highlighter? I had requested from my regular $10 Ipsy account that I no longer get highlighter. I have this sinking feeling that when they changed my account to Plus, they didn’t keep the notations on the account. And guess what will be in my bag… ugh.

Where’s the Bum Bum cream?! Or the CEO moisturizer? Instead I’m getting more highlighter and another eyeliner?

If so, this is the first and last Glam Bag Plus, lol. I can get disappointed at less than half the price with regular Ipsy.

Where if you dont mind me asking?

Annie

If you’re subscribed to the Plus bag they show up in your account when you scroll down under the main “Glam Bag” tab. Usually each month with the regular bag there are articles posted that feature some of the items for that month’s bag. They’ve done the same thing for Plus. I wish I could post screen shots, but the two with spoliers are titled, “5 Makeup Looks to Channel Your Inner Girl Boss” and “How Purlisse’s Founder Got Her Start Fighting Power Rangers.”

Alysa

Ok so I signed up for the early access to the waitlist through my subscription addiction, I also got on the waitlist through ipsy’s website. On September 12th I received an email stating that I was all set for the glam bag plus and would be moved to an active membership later in the month. I went to check my account today and noticed that my account hasn’t been upgraded at all! I’m on the 3-month subscription and I guess their only able to upgrade you if you’re on the monthly subscription plan. This is pretty unfair as I’ve been loyal to them for over a year.

Redhed36

Well it’s official. My PayPal was just charged $26, yay!

Jessica

So i’m thinking thinking that the PR Ipsy Plus bag was our October spoilers and not just for the bag obviously lol, but for the items . It supposed to be have variations just not as many. Pretty sure that the items all the influensers and bloggers got are Some of Octobers upcoming items.

Marion

I’ve seen ppl on reddit saying “ipsy’s insta comments say the items will be different!” but from the wording of the replies, I think that just means the bags will not all be exactly what influencers got, because the bags are customized to our profiles. I think there’s a good chance that we’ll each get one or more of the influencer items in our bags.

… or maybe I’m just rationalizing because I REALLY want that CEO moisturizer. 😂

Lisa

I said that on Reddit and posted Ipsys comments . Also spoilers are out there mini Smashbox palette not Morphe , tarte mascara not other one and only bum bum cream is tiny one coming in regular BUT if plus is like regular there are a lot of variety so sure 1 item from Sept might end up in someone’s bag . They seem to have a lot of bum bum cream as it was given as welcome gift.

Jessica

I really think we will too and think you are right, they will be different but that doesn’t mean completely different. It really doesn’t make a lot of sense for those 5 items to not be part of the October variants.

Gillian

I think we will get mostly the same items as well, so obsessed I had to check my account to make sure they billed me for Ipsy Plus 🙂

Tara

I just got billed through my paypal, YAY!

Jessica

Double thinking…thinking too hard lol.

tina

I re-subscribed for Ipsy just to get the Glam Bag Plus. Now, a month later, still no email of getting onto the waitlist (let alone getting the Glam Bag Plus). I think me and pretty much everyone who re-subscribed are going to give it a month of two and then unsubscribe for good. TBH, I like Sephora Play better, but am willing to give Ipsy a shot for the Glam Bag Plus.

Marie

I’m about to cancel my Ipsy now, because I was an annual subscriber they had to refund me and switch me to monthly so I could get the plus bag soon. Then they forgot to switch it to monthly so I emailed them they corrected it. I asked about the plus and they told me i had to resign up for the waitlist. Ipsy has no interest in giving long term subscribers help to sign up. I had previously signed up via MSA link, was not on list. Then signed up via ipsy email. Then now a month later told I needed to sign up again even though I had been confirmed on the list.🤬

Alecia

I totally agree. I signed up to be on the MSA waitlist the first day and got an email on Sept 12 telling me to reactivate my already active account. I emailed Ipsy for clarification and was told I’m not even on the waitlist to get on the waitlist?!? The Glam Bag Plus is just as frustrating as the Boxyluxe. The fact that neither company values long-time subscribers irks me.

Amanda

That is terrible. I know when I emailed previously about why I didn’t even have the option to sign up for the waitlist.. which personally I want to wait and see what they do with it first. I have alot of stuff already so waiting to see what they offer. However, I wanted to know why it wasn’t even an option. They said basically the wait list was closed for now. Hope you are able to get on it 🙁

Marie

Thanks, I did get on the waitlist for 2d time. I’m overloaded on samples too. Not really sure I need more skincare or make-up. I just really wanted the make-up bag lol. I hate that I had to go back to bottom of list. I’m debating if getting another regular bag is worth it, I have 750 points to use still.🤔 It sucks to know if I had created a new account I probably would of been getting the bag now.

Amanda

I have seen a few people ask how to get Glam Bag Plus. You have to be a subscriber. The wait list is currently full, so to get on the wait list you just need to wait until it opens. Unless you already were selected for the wait list, it probably isn’t even an option on your account. Hope this helps 🙂

Teresa

Thank you for the info. I have been receiving ipsy for 3 years now and I haven’t even received anything to get on a wait-list. You would think that ipsy would allow their long time subscribers to get on the wait-list first.

Amanda

Will they still release spoilers for the regular bag or will it just be about the Glam Bag Plus now? Or does anyone care about the regular bag now?

Lisa

I care about regular bag and don’t care about $25 bag actually.

Emily

Lol. So why are you here?

Savi

Liz posted a bunch of spoilers just for the regular bag a week or so ago!

Amanda

Thanks!

Adrah

So it’s the same bag as September?

nonya

Only one new bag every 4 months.

Anna

Actually it’s every 3rd delivery. Quarterly is 4 times a year.

Romi

So sad that this isn’t available in Canada or if it ever will be 🙁

marci

I know.. thats way i unsubscribed 🙁

Rachel

I unsubscribed from ipsy cuz I was disappointed but I wanna see if the plus will be a better option. I emailed them and was told I would hav to resubscribe to get the ipsy plus. But if there’s still a wait list then I’ll again be getting the ipsy bag before I get off the waitlist for the ipsy plus which is stupid as I unsubscribed. Is there a rlly big wishlist? Or did you get off the waitlist real fast?

Crystal

I resubscribed in August as soon as heard of the glam bag plus. Signed up through the MSA site waitlist. Then was put on the ipsy waitlist and was taken off a week ago.

nonya

I resubscribed in September (and got the regular September Ipsy bag) to get on the waitlist and was taken off that waitlist last week. So I can’t say how it will be for you, but for me it was quick. I imagine they are going to have to blow it put of the water right away or a ton of people will immediately unsubscribe (including me).

tina bhateja

1234

same, I re subbed Sept just for the plus and got taken off the wait-list about a week ago, thank God cause i did not want the little samples.

Amanda

Yeah, I have to say I am leery. I am going to wait a bit before upgrading to make sure it is things I would use. Even the one Influencer one, there was only one thing I would have really used.

Gwynn Guiliano

I can’t wait…in-season and current, not discontinued products for a change! I am so excited that Ipsy started the Glam Bag Plus!

Lily

Can you see that you’ve upgraded in your account? I have the email inviting me to upgrade and I swear I did, but don’t have an email confirming the upgrade and my account subscription still says glam bag (not plus)…

Angela

Yes you can. In the Ipsy app that I have downloaded to my phone it shows now the new Ipsy box and says “ The Glam Bag Plus” instead of Glam Bag and that their making my box and to check back on October 2nd to see my product’s. Hope this helps😁

Danielle

Mine doesn’t show it on the main page, but if I click on the account page then go to edit my account settings, then click on membership it shows that I’m on the monthly Glam Bag Plus $25 plan. Keep in mind I use the Ipsy app but I imagine it’s similar using their page on a browser as well. Hope this helps!

Willia E Flanning

How do I get on the ipsy glam plus please

Anna

Hi Lily, in my account I see that I am now glambag plus. And I did receive the off waitlist email.

Willia E Flanning

How do I get on the ipsy glam plus please

Lily

Well crap. Thanks for confirming! I am now with 15k others on the waitlist 😩 I think the issue was that I have two accounts – my main one uses the app, and for the other I use my phone browser. The link from the email to get off the waitlist opened in the browser, which wasn’t the right amount… But of course it didn’t tell me anything like that so I just figured it had gone through. Fail!

Pep

Super happy! I actually forgot about the influencer bag that was shown last month. I love it and need one that fits more than 3 items.

Victoria

Really wish this was available for Canadians 🙁 happy I can still get my regular bag though 🙂

Iggy'sRock

What? No nail polish, Liz? lol

Ipsy has some really good short- term full sized product sales going on right now. They have the full sized PURLISSE BEAUTY Watermelon Energizing Aqua Balm
1.7 Oz for 30% off. I have received mine, and I totally love it!

Next, there is a new sale. 4 full sized Laqua Cloud lipsticks, Retail for $68, on sale for $18 with free shipping. I bought these, also, but haven’t received them yet.

Note, these are not products from our previous bags, although I’ve had samples of the Pur-Lisse which is why I knew I wanted the full sized tube and maybe a trial sized Laqua lipstick in another bag.
These products are also not Ipsy Point freebies.

I still think they’ll appeal to some people looking for early holiday gifts or stocking stuffers at these prices. I’ve never seen the fairly new Pur-lisse gel at any discounted price through any of their authorized retailers before.

Regina

I have seen Pur-lisse discounted at a Marshall’s store. Not sure if that helps but you can find the brands at these discount stores if you check.

I prefer to buy online from brand websites or from Ipsy personally.

Saralynn

Yay! I was hoping they would do this. I can’t wait!

Samantha

So I upgraded to IPSY GLAM BAG PLUS for the October bag…Now what happens in the months in between? Do we get our regular IPSY GLAM BAG?

nonya

Sorry meant 3 months, not 4 (for a new physical bag).

nonya

You will be billed $25 every month for the Glam Bag plus unless you downgrade back down to the regular $10 one of pause/cancel your subscription. The Glam Bag plus is still a monthly subscription of full sized products, it is only the physical bag itself that we only get every 4 months.

Anna

According to Ipsy plus FAQ
How often do I get the deluxe bag with the Glam Bag Plus?

First delivery: You’ll get 5 full-size beauty products plus a deluxe makeup bag.

Future deliveries: You’ll receive a deluxe makeup bag with every 3rd delivery. You’ll receive 5 full-size beauty products in every delivery.

Tara

I truly hope the products are high end and no more of this made in China junk….and i hope to see a product spoiler before 10/02!!

Emily

I never got taken off the waitlist despite getting the email on the 14th saying I would be moved off the waitlist later this month and charged in October.
I’m not super worried about it though. I’d rather see a great box in October and try and write CS to figure out why I didn’t get it and how I can get on later than get a crappy box and be out $25.
I am hoping for everyone else’s sake it’s a great box though, but I’m definitely not crying over that bag. It’s a bit bland in my opinion.

Barbara

I’m happy to see the first bag design is the same one as influencers got for promotion.
Now I’m impatiently waiting for Oct. 2nd🤩🤩🤩
