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

I’ve had ipsy so long now that I never want any more IBY beauty, no Nomad, no Kokie or NYX so although I still live getting my ipsy bags I won’t use any of these things and it’s a guarantee I’ll keep getting them instead of the more posh brands.

October is looking pretty good so far. I can’t wait to see what I’ll be getting! I’m hoping for the Buxom lip gloss, 111 Skin Defense eye gel, Tarte shape tape (really really hoping for this), Missglam brush and Morphe blush. Also wouldn’t mind receiving the Blaq eye masks or INCredible illuminating jelly. If I got any combination of these products I’d be stoked.

I got that 111 eye stugf in September. When I have it on my face, not even really close to my eyes, my eyes water endlessly.

You got your Sept. bag already?

OMG I think October will be the best month of the whole year. Holy moly at all the stuff. I want it all. I seriously won’t be disappointed by anything I get for October. I want the hard caked liquid lipstick most of all

Wow there are some beautiful fall plummy and wine shades! I love the first new list with all those plums! I would also love the Bum Bum cream!

I hope it is is a plum or wine color. I hope to heavens it isn’t one of those where Ipsy offers a variation in a hideous pale nude or pink color!
I am loving that black nail polish too 🙂

I want the Bum Bum .It leaves my skin sooo soft and smells great

Mannnnn…Maybe I should stop looking at these spoilers- last month I saw sooo many things I wanted and only received one of them; the FOMO is intense (but nowhere near as bad as it was when I subbed to Play!, at least I typically still enjoy my Ipsy). I doubt they’d go so skincare heavy on me, but….
Nature Lab Repair Masque
SOO AE sleep mask
111skin eye gel
Sundays polish
Sslmissglam brush
=my perfect bag from this selection
IDKW I feel the need to tell strangers what I want….I guess bc part of me always hopes some undercover Ipsy employee will see it, care, somehow know who I am, deactivate the algorithm and personally curate my bag 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

If that is the bag, it is just right for October & chic enough to be used.

I absolutely love the spoilers. I am hoping to get Juliette Has a Gun Perfume, NatureLab Perfect Repair Treatment Masque, LARITZY Lip Gloss, 111SKIN Space Defense Bright Eye Lift Gel, and the bum bum cream. I have so many eye shadows that I don’t use. I can’t wait for my bag!!

It says morphe blush, nomad eyeshadow, and sugar lipstick but not what shade they are in. Does this mean that the shades are not set and can vary based on your beauty profile?

Check your email if you’re on the Glam Bag Plus waitlist. I just got one saying I’m off the waitlist.

I have skipped October bag. The products I would like is the Tarte Shape, Itsse eye-shadow and bum bum cream, but the 10 product that appear on improve my Glambag were none of those.

How do you access the survey? Is it emailed to you, or do you need to download the app?
Kristin
Last month 4 out of my 5 products were ones that I had chosen on my survey and None were items I declined. I’m hoping for the same this month.
Lisa Pizarro
I hope I get the Tarte concealer and the 111Skin eye gel. I had the eye gel before and it worked great! I wouldn’t mind the Derma E serum either. I love skin products but seem to get more highlighter and bronze eyeshadows alot which I cannot use.

It seems odd that it’s already the 25th of September and there are no spoilers for Glam Bag Plus, no communications about it, and no one seems to have moved off the wait list. Is it just not coming out in October?

Agree! I was thinking the same thing. Last wk of September here, and no word on Plus at all. I bet they couldnt get their inventory together, and all the Plus “variants they” had talked about probably sucks big time. If they revealed all the variants ppl would lose interest bc the value is not there compared to the Plus bag theyve been showcasing. At least BoxyLuxe was consistent with spoilers up until the release (eventho the Luxe items didnt interest me), BC actually had products to show:P

I received an email a week or two ago saying I would be moved to an Ipsy Plus account later this month. I’m waiting until October 1st to see how I’m charged. But I think you’re making some wild assumptions here, all because we haven’t been shown what’s going to be in the October bag(s). Maybe we could just wait and find out?
Tara
Definitely skipping October, same brands over and over with odd colors!!

I just bought the Tarte Shape Tape foundation from Ulta at 40% off and I love it! Idk if that is the concealer or the foundation Ipsy is sampling, but I would love to try the concealer with my foundation! Then again, if they ever take us off of the wait list for Plus like the email promised, I won’t be getting a regular bag this month. I would love to see some spoilers for the Plus!! I am disappointed we won’t be getting the Plus bags they gave out for PR. I really wanted those products, but I will give Plus a chance for a couple of months to see if they will be all they are hyped up to be. I am sure the 1st couple months are going to be good so they get people to sign up. Also, I should mention, I got the 111 Skin eye serum last month and gave it to my bf for his dark circles, and he likes it. He did say that he likes the Sunday Riley serum I gave him better though.

Tara Dactyle
Which SR serum was that?
Im using the 111skin eye gel, and i feel like it doesnt work as well as my other one that ipsy sent (the dr. Lili fan probiotic eye repair cream). Ive been using it day and night. Skincare works so differently for everyone, so i try not to read reviews and give everything i use a fair shot.

All I can hope for from ipsy in October is a Glambag with more than 1 item that matches and unbroken products would be nice. September was the 3rd month in a row with smashed products. All 3 months, it’s taken a week to get a response and then another week to get a shipping email. Finally got my replacement bag and products from ipsy this month but they didn’t replace the smashed Luna by Luna setting powder with the Luna by Luna. It’s a repeat from a couple of months ago that I rated extremely low. It’s a banana powder, yellow. I’m red undertoned. Seems like ipsy is focused on their new product. Their CS has gone down hill this year and it’s just getting worse. Why would I give them $25 a month to be ignored? I remember being able to have an email conversation with an ipsycare rep. Now it’s a corrective pissy response 5-7 days after the original email, not 24-48 hours. Then, if you do write back, it’s going to be a week or more before you hear back again if you hear back at all. Ipsy is really dropping the ball on customer service this year.

You are so right. They used to be great! So fast to respond with friendly, personalized emails. But now , like you said, it takes several days and they send canned responses that don’t answer your question specifically, and if you reply asking for clarification, it takes a week or so. In my case I think they only responded at all to my reply is that I did that little survey where you rate the rep’s response. She mentioned that fact in her response but STILL didn’t answer my question. And it’s not like it was a hard or complicated question. I’m hoping they will improve after they get the Glam Plus bag completely set up. Or perhaps just hiring more reps would help.

My Luna setting powder came smashed too. I was pretty happy about how quickly they got back with me though.

Sounds like something you need to take up with your post office, I highly doubt they are sending them out smashed, i’ve never had a broken product from any sub, thankfully.
Reply

It happens when it’s shipped via DHL. Have not had an issue when they’ve used FedEx. Just because it hasn’t happened to you doesn’t mean it doesn’t happen to someone else.

My hopes are for the Nomad eyeshadow (any of them), Space Case blush, Tarte Shape Tape, MAC Lipglass, and the turmeric mask.

I have a general question, as IPSY keeps giving me the same products to either say ” Like” or ” Dislike” to. Is the brand ” Wander” considered to be a good brand of cosmetics ( not skin care, but cosmetics)?
I can’t really find out.. I want foundations to try and their CS offered me a trial size of a Wander cream foundation in a push up stick type applicator.
Thanks for input! 🙂

UltraViolet
Wander is an up and coming brand. The couple of products I have tried so far have impressed me. Have also heard great things about their lipsticks. I’d definitely try the stick foundation if they offered it to me. 😀

Have tried the Wander Beauty mascara, lipstick and powder foundation samples and love them all! Would love to get more from Ipsy.

I don’t know about the concealer, but there was a Wander mascara in my Boxy a while back, and it is now my favorite mascara of countless subscription mascaras. I would definitely give the concealer a try!
Reply
Julie B.
I agree, that Wander mascara is now one of my favorites.
Jessica
and a push up type concealer would be nice in my opinion because even if the shades were slightly darker or lighter than your skintone, then you can always blend them in as contour..
Reply
Jessica
I think wander is newer, I know they debuted in Birchbox a few months back, I think the company is owned by 2 women, haven’t tried any of their products yet though. But everything is worth trying once.

I’d for the Morphe blush and Tarte Shape Tape!!! How do you get more makeup on your bag? My upcoming survey was all moisturizers and facial products.

Rachel
You can contact them to have yourself removed from skin care and nails so you only get makeup.

CJS
OOh…I did not know you could do that! I will have to try that. I love makeup, but I think I have been happier lately with more skin care. I always get weird eyeshadow colors and dry shampoo..or clear brow gel (does anyone use that last one?)

Has anyone else noticed that the Improve your glam bag survey is now down to 10 items instead of 30.
Reply
Amy
That’s because it is now only showing items for the upcoming month rather than the next 3 months like it used to. So the 10 products seen on the quiz now is going to be featured in October. The quiz will change in October to show the 10 products going to be selected in the November bag, etc. It used to be 30 items for the upcoming 3 months, but that has changed. Instead of wondering WHEN we’ll see certain products in the upcoming bags, now we know the products on the quiz will be for the upcoming bag. Hope that helps, but it is what I noticed when I went to check it out! Hope you get a good bag! 🙂

How do you get to that survey?
Reply
Emily
I’ve seen several people say that it’s only available for specific people, though I’ve made new accounts and they always had the survey right away.
From the app (I believe the mobile site is the same but not sure about desktop.)
Navigate to,
Account<
Membership<
Then scroll down till you see
Improve glam bag products<
Just select any reason why you’re not happy with you’re current personalization, and that’s it.
Emily
Weird… I had just checked it earlier today and it had all 30. Mines down to 10 now too.
