I’m getting Yensa primer, Makeup Forever foundation, Oribe spray, P.R.M.I.T polish in Pink Cream, and Beau Gachis eyebrow brush.

As a new, and more “mature” subscriber, I’m hopeful. If the primer and foundation colors are OK these are all things I can use.

I’m new to Ipsy, why does the Sugar lipstick says rosy mauve when the “Better than Salmon” in the Sugar website is pink peach?

Reply ButtonReply

Pink5

Gah, another f—- liquid eyeliner and “rosy mauve” lip color.

Also Tarte Shape Tape, even though I do not have concealers listed.

I’m about ready to ditch Ipsy and Birchbox and go with Look Fantastic.

Also, blush in either light pink or medium pink.

Personally, I prefer peachy pinks.

Hoping it’ll be the light pink since it’s shimmery. Hate matte blush.

Not that I can wear it now.

Really happy with my bag this month and now even more glad that I dropped the Glam Bag Plus and went back to the regular glam bag. I got:

-Glamour Dolls Mascara
–Sundays nail polish in No. 18
–Murad essential-C cleanser
— Grace & Stella blackhead removal mask
–Tarte shape tspe contour concealer

Bag twins! I’m most excited for the Murad and Tarte. 🙂

I’m new to Ipsy. If there are color options for a product but my main page only lists a single color, does that mean that’s the color I’m getting? For example, the MAC Lipglass is 2 color options but my sneak peek says “MAC lipglass in love child”, will I be getting love child for sure? The loose pigment lists both options on my main page.

Reply ButtonReply

Monica

Yes its usually correct. My lipglass says love child so I hope that’s the shade I’m getting.

These products look way better than what is in my Plus bag. I will have to make a separate profile and sign up for the regular October bag. I am so disappointed the Plus.

Ipsy is on point for me this month, this is my favorite bag to date!

IT HAIR CARE 12-in-One Leave In Treatment (this product was included in my very first glambag, I loved it and have been purchasing it ever since)

111SKIN Space Defence Bright Eye Lift Gel (I was hoping to get this last month so super excited to see it included now)

THEBALM COSMETICS Take Home the Bronze (very excited to try this sample as this bronzer is cool toned so will be great as my tan starts fading)

TARTE Shape Tape (switched my profile around in hopes of getting this, it worked!)

INC.REDIBLE You Glow Girl Jelly (I’m stocked up on highlighters but I’m happy to try a gel highlighter)

Was the option to “add-on” only on the 2nd of Oct? Because I’m signed in right now on the 3rd and I don’t see an add option. Although I do see all the extra products (just to aggravate me…lol). When I click on the extra products it just tells me about them.

I might make a second account for the regular ipsy bag. I’m dying to try the shape tape. I see quite a few other things I’m interested in trying too.

I got:

ROYAL & LANGNICKEL MŌDA® PRO GLOW Brush: Happy about this. I can always use more brushes.
SOO AE Donkey Milk Sleep Mask: I am a sheet mask fanatic and am happy to get two more.
·A·C Little Lipglass in Love Child: Not crazy about this color and not crazy about MAC lipglasses in general so I will be probably giving this away.
SO SUSAN
Color Trip High Intensity Color Pigment in Mysterious: Pretty! Looking forward to it even though I got a purple eyeshadow from them last month–the Winky Lux Ursula.
INC.REDIBLE You Glow Girl Iridescent Jelly in Cosmic Blur. I always love a pretty highlighter and this looks nice.

So yeah, 3 out of 5 for me, deducting for the whole getting two purple eyeshadows two months in a row thing.

Same! I’m not stoked about the primer, but otherwise I love it.

It will only be my 2nd bag with this account, since I upgraded my old account to Plus, so I’m really amazed at how good my bag is. (Although part of it is that I like a lot of the products this month & think a lot of people have good bags).

Bag triplets!
First time I’ve found someone with the same bag as me. This must be a popular bag combo this month. I too am getting the Yensa Tone Up Primer, 111Skin Eye Lift Gel, TheBalm Bronzer, City Color Highlighter in Nebula and the Tarte Shape Tape Concealer.

Where is the black nail polish that was shown in the spoilers. UGH! I specifically added nail polish to my profile in hopes of getting that. Now it’s not even one of this month’s items. I hate it when that happens. SIGH. Otherwise I’m pretty happy with my bag. It’s better than usual anyway.

One think I will say is that I am so, so glad I did not jump on the early Glam Bag PLUS bandwagon. My gut told me to hold out and see what was in store for a few months. Totally unimpressed. That I was able to add products to this month’s regular Glam Bag makes me even happier I waited.

So unhappy with my bag , it’smy first bag .. in my test I said that I like only nuturals colors .. got the Northern Lights Eyeshadow in Norrsken NO3 OR Norrsken NO4 – one of them is blue and the second is bright pink 🙄🙄🙄 such a waste .. also got the Mac lipglass and I didn’t choose the lipgloss …

Loving my bag this month! And the design of the bag itself is wonderful as well!

-SLMissGlam Lilac Sparkle eye brush (this is so pretty!)
-Nodam Cosmetics Northern lights eyeshaodw (I think I’m hoping for the purple, but the blue looks lovely as well)
-Aphrodite Olive Oil Deep Cleansing mask (This looks interesting, different than any of the masks I currently have!)
-MAC Lipglass in Love Child (!!! I was hoping for this, I love gloss and this is such a unique shade)
-Inc.redible You glow girl iridescent Jelly in Cosmic Blur (This is the only thing I’m wary of, and maybe would have preferred a polish, but I have also been curious about jelly highlights, and so this is the perfect place to try one for barley any risk!)

I’m very happy with this month, I was tempted to throw on the morphe blush for $3(this new feature is both great and dangerous to my wallet), but I stayed strong! Sticking out all the iffy months and filling out reviews has paid off it seems, each bag recently has been an awesome match.

How come they aren’t offering this to Plus members? I mean we are paying more money. I’m thinking of opening up another account for a regular bag. If I open one today would I get the October bag?

Reply ButtonReply

Nicole

That’s kind of an entitled attitude. There are regular glam bag members still waiting for Plus, while Ipsy is allowing others to sign up on a new account and get it immediately. The least they can do at this point is offer the “extras” option to those of us still waiting. The long time subscribers lucky enough to have gotten the Plus already, should be thrilled. Ipsy is using the Plus to gain more subscribers, all the while making their loyal subscribers think they are going to get it first.

Marie

Not entitled at all. If you are paying 2 and a half times the price, it is reasonable to expect to get the same perks as the regular subscribers plus the full size items.

For now I’m 50/50 on my bag, that is till I try the products.
I’m getting

Tarte Shape Tape Concealer in 12N Fair Neutral (I was so hoping to recieve this so I am very happy I actually got it.)

City Color Cosmetics Glow Pro Stellar Highlighter in Nebula (I’m on the fence about this. I haven’t tried any of their products but it might be a good shade for my fair skin.)

TheBalm Cosmetics Take Home The Bronze in Oliver or Thomas (Hopefully I’ll get Oliver.)

111Skin Space Defense Eye Lift Gel (Wanted this too!)

Yensa Tone Up Primer
(This is a brand new company set to launch on 10/08/2018 according to their website. Guess I’ll have to wait till then to find out more.)

I signed up mid-Sept, and didn’t even think I’d get a Sept one, honestly, so this will only be my second go-round. I know it takes some time to get the customization right…

But I’m a little annoyed that Ipsy has included products I specifically said I did not want in the quiz (Lartizy and the bronzer). The Aurora eyeliner is fine, but I REALLY wanted the Murad, so I’ll take it all in stride I guess.

I also got the Shape Tape everyone seems to really enjoy, but mine doesn’t specify a color. In my list of items (not below in the add ons) it says: Double Duty Beauty™ Shape Tape Contour Concealer in 12N Fair Neutral, 20S Light Sand, 29N Light-Medium, 35N Medium OR 53N Deep”

Is there any way for me to specify which one I want? Does anyone else’s show the options, as opposed to which specific color you’ll be getting?

12N and 20S would likely be way too light for me. 29N or 35N would be best…

Mine shows the lightest shade for the Shape Tape. Wish I was getting one shade darker, but maybe the lightest one will work.

Yuki

Mine doesn’t show a specific color option. I assume they’ll just go by my beauty profile. And hang in there with the bags. I occasionally receive a product that doesn’t match my profile, but a majority of what I receive does match 🙂

This is the best bag I’ve received in a while! Getting Tarte Shape Tape Contour Concealer, Glamour Dolls Mascara, Belif Peat Miracle Revival Eye Cream, SLMISSGLAM
L50 Lilac Sparkle Eye Blender & PIXI BY PETRA
Mesmerizing Mineral Duo in Plum Lace (only item I’m not excited about). I get bags for my older daughters and hope my 13 year old will give me the 111SKIN Space Defence Bright Eye Lift Gel she is getting!

Yay you go Ipsy, I’m excited about my bag and the new extra add on’s that’s awesome!! I’m getting a Tarte shape tape in my bag and I’ll add on 3 extras I’m just not sure as to exactly which 3 I’m gonna add!! I know of 1 thing for sure I want I’m fighting myself over the other 2 that I can pick. I’m loving the new add on’s we can choose to ship with our bags, the products are cheap enough and with free shipping with our subscription bags that’s fantastic Ipsy!!! I’m excited and can’t wait for my bag now.
