My September Ipsy still hasn’t even shipped yet…. Ipsy has not been doing well lately.

Kristin

I would contact them about that. That doesn’t seem right. I know my August bag was late but I’m pretty sure it was due to having ordered it later. It stills hipped by the 14th though. My september bag shipped the 5th!

Mine is lost. Dhl dropped it off to USPS on the 12th and according to usps they never recieved it. They dropped it off 4hrs from my house 12 days ago. I contacted Ipsy and they are supposed to be sending me a replacement. I just resubbed and recieved a free bum bum cream. I hope my replacement has it in it. And none of this happened near the hurricane.

Ipsy has been around for years and has strong financial status. It is one of the most successful subscription services available.

Ipsy is growing every month and changing their business model.

The financing on some of these boxes is very shaky.

I don’t worry about Ipsy or Popsugar.

Fab Fit and Fun seems to be doing well.

I am very careful of what services I use. I listen to a lot of business news and podcasts plus I research the companies online.

I got ripped off years ago with Go Go Girlfriend. Never again. I check financial backing and growth prior to making a sub box challenge.

If I were to predict one of the big ones that is shaky it would be Rachel Zoe. I did buy the fall box for $50 since they sent me a code. But I feel unsure about how well the future will be for RZ.

I can understand why you’re disappointed. Our ipsyMatch algorithm aims to match you with the best overall product combination for you, but sometimes you might receive a product you’re not thrilled about.

I’d be happy to help you handpick at least one of your products for next month to help make up for the trouble. Please know this is a one-time exception and I won’t be able to offer product selection as an option in the future (but I hope it helps this time!).

I’ve picked out some of our favorite products from October’s Glam Bag selection:

IBY Eyeshadow in Dance Party
M·A·C Little Lipglass in Love Child
MURAD Essential-C Cleanser
NOMAD COSMETICS Northern Lights Eyeshadow in Norrsken No 3
ORYZA Lipstick in Opus
SLMISSGLAM L50 Lilac Sparkle Eye Blender brush
SOL DE JANEIRO Brazilian Bum Bum Cream
SOO AE Donkey Milk Sleep Mask
GRACE & STELLA Blackhead Removal Mask

I received this email from Ipsy

Aren’t there usually more spoilers up by now? Excited to see what else is going to be in the October bag.

Apparently Ipsy is more focused on the Plus bag this month. Disappointed.

ipsy, going up tax rate applies now…boo.

Reply ButtonReply

Teresa

I’m sure tax rate and/or increase applies Only to subscribers living in States that have sales tax. I live in Oregon so No sales tax for me. Sales Tax increase is something that Ipsy would Not have control over at all because it’s a State thing. If your state tells a business to increase sales tax they have to.

So is Fabfitfun. Actually I think all boxes are going to start charging taxes.

I love the glam bag design. I have an account for the regular Ipsy bag and another for my Glam Bag Plus.

I can’t wait to see the rest of the products!

Teresa

How are you getting the Glam Plus already??? I was told the Glam Plus is not released yet.

Reply ButtonReply

amyr

I guess I got lucky.

I know Ipsy confirmed my October will be the Glam Bag Plus.

I just put myself on the wait list. I did not do any of that hoop jumping and spamming people.

Beautiful bag I love lace looking mask emboss. Not sure if I will use as a makeup bag. I might keep for mini purse or goodie bag.

I hope the 10 a month ipsy sticks around! I don’t know what I’d switch to. BB and BB5 weren’t for me because I only want makeup. I am not interested in the 25 a month bag because that’s too much to risk (for me). I love getting my ipsy bag treats, but 10 a month is the most I’m willing to play with. For 25 I’ll choose things I know I will actually use. I give away too much of my ipsy, but I do love half the items.

Beauty Box 5 – they took my money (and many others) and closed up shop.

The shadow, lipstick, and polish look stunning! I would love all 3! So happy for some cool colors.

Ipsy! For the love of god, no more dry shampoo or nail polish — it’s getting ridiculous LOL

You have to go in and adjust your beaty profile. I was feeling that’s way about black eyeliner so I turned it off. I don’t paint my nails so I never selected nail polish.

Reply ButtonReply

Jessica

Don’t say that…I LOVE getting nail polish.

I wonder how many different shades of Shape Tape they are going to give. That particular product seems very specific to a person (I know it is for me) and I can’t imagine they are going to take the time to tailor the shades individually to each Ipster getting it.

Im pretty happy with my bag, altho the bag pictured is the “ultimate dream OCT bag”- lol. Im getting:

WW brush:-) (only marked makeup tools in questionaire, wanted this but thought it was going to be the big one pictured???)
Tres lippie (marked yes in “improve bag” survey)
Trust fund nail polish (marked yes in survey)
Hemp body cream (yes in survey)
M&M eyeshadow in gunmetal (i picked plums in questionarie.. but still wearable)

Jessica

We are bag twins, I also picked Plums in my profile, I would have preferred the Winky Lux shadow, but i guess i will try to up my smokey eye skills instead lol

ah sorry. posted wrong place. this is sept bag.

Nicole

Ugh.. I forgot to completely opt out of blush and bronzer on my second Ipsy. I ended up getting a hoola bronzer tgat I’m sure someone else would have loved. I also got a nude nail polish that I will never, ever wear. Sigh…how does Ipsy even expect ppl to want to hand over $25 for plus, when they are already proven to ignore something as simple as shade preferences? Would anyone here like to become trade buddies with me? I have several items in addition to this months hoola and nail polish that need a new home. I would love to trade some of it out for something I’ll use.

Reply ButtonReply

Nicole

Ladies, I’m so sorry. I completely forgot to come back and check on this. If either of you are still hanging around or if anyone else wants to trade, my email is tetreau.nicole at yahoo, feel free to contact me. 😊 I still have the hoola, but also have the tarte lashes and glue from this month’s Allure, thrive mascara and a full size cream highlighter, I can send a list if you’re interested.

They might fix it again but right now Ipsy is letting you share and view your glam bag. However they did this Saturday too and fixed it pretty quick. Not before I saw mine though 🙂

I posted what my items are. Of course the post is not showing.

I truly hope the items listed in my glam bag were a mistake.

The Creme shop cleanser (will not use)
DLS bronzer (awful color)
Harley Quinn makeup brush (hoped for WW brush)
Steve Laurant rose blush (Will not use. Color is too cool.)
Bella Pierre matte lipstick in Incognito (Will not use. Color is too cool.

I’ll keep the brush. Everything else is going to my local YWCA like last month!

I didn’t get the smashbox concealer or the Huda lippie…which I wanted badly! I need to get the Shape Tape! Like IGOTTAHAVEIT! C’mon ipsy, show me some love in October!!

Either way I love love love this Glam Bag! Looks like the best Glam Bag yet since I first subscribed 16 months ago!

Christine if you change your settings in your beauty profile and do your product reviews, you will start to see a change in the products you get from ipsy. I always tell them that i would like a nail pilllolish instead of an eyeliner and a lip gloss instead of a mascara. That works better.
