My IPSY plus is so late this month. IPSY didn’t even ship/create label til 23rd & dhl hasn’t received it yet. Looking like it will be December before i get Novembers bag. That’s not ok with me at all so i canceled. Not impressed with items coming anyways. I didn’t NEED another eyeshadow palette, but i wanted it. Tarte cheek is actually looking good to me since I’m so pale. Ofra-too dark. MG lippie? no thanks. Dr. Brandt everything breaks me out. & some more brushes :/ I don’t do BC after a couple years as they have gone down hill in quality. Any other makeup-heavy subscriptions out there?

I got an email on 11/13 saying my bag was shipped. I finally get a tracking number on 11/16. Now 11/20, it still hasn’t updated since the initial notification at 2:41 am on 11/16. I live in Chicago and it’s coming from NC so it doesn’t have to go near anywhere with bad weather. I really, really despise DHL.

Is anyone else having problems getting their bag this month or is it just me? They keep pushing back my ship date 😥

Yeah there are problems this month. Ipsy contacted me on the 13th saying I would receive tracking info soon. DHL contacted me saying they finally received NOTIFICATION from Ipsy that they would be receiving it on the 16th. But DHL didn’t receive it from Ipsy till the 19th. Now I’m SUPPOSED to receive it by the 23rd.
We’ll see if it actually comes then. And ipsy wants us to have reviews in by the 30th. How can we do that if they don’t ship early enough for us to receive it before then?
Last month it was DHL that was the problem. At least that what we were lead to believe. This month it’s Ipsy that’s the problem.

I’m happy to be getting the Ofra highlighter because I’ve been lemming it for a while, and I’m also not mad at the tarte cheek palette… but the rest of this months box is a bit garbage imho. Still getting my money’s worth at least 🤷🏻♀️

My bag is almost identical, but I am getting the Bum Bum cream. I am so addicted to that stuff.

Was I the only person who felt like the box wasn’t “curated”?? I got eye shadow brushes and a blush palette. The blush palette and eye palette were both “naturals” but we get dark metallic lip gloss.. Like nothing goes together. I get the brushes for people with the eye shadow palette but they should have had face brushes for the blush palette.. and a natural lip colour so that it matched the other makeup.. I also feel like It had a pile of these palettes since they have been half price since like 2 years ago. Same with Dr. Brandt, I have gotten 2 full sizes of these in other boxes. This box just made no sense to me at all..

I was so disappointed with my reveal that I emailed ipsy immeadiately,I’m getting the Dr.Brandt no more baggage,a repeat from boxy that I hated and made me break out.
I told them about this issue and begged for a substitution,apparently they cannot do that so instead they are mailing me some mystery item,hopefully not more of the random mystery items that I received last month because of that gritty popsugar tinted balm.
But interestingly they also offered me to choose an item for my December glam bag plus hmmm. So I chose from between two items that they offered.

They really need to up their game. Everybody should have gotten the bum bum cream and the pallet at a minimum.

I like this box better than last month, but it’s still nowhere near the influencer box or the products pictured on the Glam Bag Plus info page. It. IS enough to keep me hanging on one more month. 😂
I’m glad that the Dr Brandt item turned out to be No More Baggage rather than the Microdermabrasion mentioned in the ipsy article. I’ve given away several tubes of that stuff, but No More Baggage I will actually try.

I got the no more baggage from Boxy, a few months ago. Traded for another and this will be my 3rd. I am thrilled to get another! If your eyes get puffy or if you have dark circles, this stuff is so helpful! My first tube is almost gone.

I’m getting the it cosmetics palette which I was hoping for but not the bun bun cream I wanted the cream so bad! At least I’m getting the no baggage gel and brushes but still want the cream though. Is there any Facebook sales page for ipsy plus??

Yeah same.. I didn’t have the money in my account the first time they billed me. I put it in later in the day and got it paid.. can’t see my stuff yet. Hopefully tomorrow. I’m REALLY hoping for the bum bum cream and the facial cleanser.

You’ll be able to see them but it will take a little longer since they bill on the last day of the month.

Got:
It pallete- love
Lip gloss- hatttteeeee
Brushes- loatheee
Eye gel- loveee
Cleanser- meh but will use
*everybody should have got the eyeshadow and bum bum cream. They know what are coveted items. They have a review system that they should use. No more variations it is just upsetting everybody including me. I would love to pick my 5 items and it would have been: it, tarte, dr.brandt, cleanser,bum bum

I got the blush trio-I would’ve much rather had the eyeshadow. I’ll prob pass this to my mother.
Cleanser and eye cream which I’m happy about because I wanted a skin care heavy bag.
The brush trio- Ehhh. I prefer other brands like luxie and crown
The lipgloss-hate it! I opted out of lip gloss and hate the colors.
It’s not terrible. My perfect bag would’ve been
Cleanser
Eye cream
Bum bum
Eyeshadow
Brushes

I’m bag twins with Liz, those are all the same products I’m getting and I’m quite happy with everything that is coming in my bag!! I love this new Ipsy glam bag plus bag, it is AMAZING and with this month’s bag I think it’s better than any of my Boxycharm boxes and I’ve been a subscriber with Boxycharm for 2 years.

Heck yeah I’m so happy with my bag, I’m getting the IT eye shadow palette, the Ofra highlight in Rodeo Drive, MUG lip gloss in Acoustic, the brushes and Dr Brandt Bags No More depuffing eye gel!! I couldn’t be happier with the selection they chose for me. I had my fingers crossed for the IT eye shadow palette and the Ofra highlight, I was under the impression every one was getting the IT eye shadow palette but I guess NOT!! That’s kinda crappy of Ipsy, but I guess NOT everyone gets the palette. Ipsy treats me pretty good every month tho I can’t complain and I won’t bcuz for one it does no good and it just brings negative vibes to everyone else, and I don’t want to sound like I’m entitled!! I just take what I get and the products I don’t want or won’t use I either gift those products or give them to my daughter in law!! Thank you Ipsy for an AMAZING bag this month. I did NOT like the eye shadow palette last month but that’s the way the ball bounced so I deal with it and move on not gripe about it bcuz again nobody cares to listen to my complaints lol!! I love Ipsy, Boxycharm and Allure they are my 3 favorite boxes and now with Ipsy’s letting us purchase add ons I’m real happy with that. So at least I know I’m getting 3 products that I will like specially if I’m buying the products as extras I hope I like them anyway!!!

I love my bag this month. However not happy that they are using the same bag as last month. they couldn’t swap it out??

You’re not getting a makeup bag this month. I guess they’re just showing it as a filler. Makeup bags will come only once every 3 months. On other months you will get only 5 full size products

Since you get 1 every 3 months, I heard they use 1 bag for the same 3 months. I guess so people don’t get bag envy lol.

Dumb question….how do you know what color lip gloss you are getting?
Thanks!

It’s one of 3 no one can see the shade yet.

I wonder why they didn’t narrow down the lip gloss to what color I’m getting. Guess I’ll have to be more patient 🙂

I was promising myself if I don’t get the It cosmetics palette, I’m quitting ipsy Plus. So I’m getting it, and now I’m stuck paying for this, regular Ipsy, BoxyLuxe, as well as my other subs. I need help. But new makeup makes me happy.

I’m pretty sure all the reveal pages said Acoustic for the lip gloss because the rest didn’t fit, but it’ll be actually be any of those four colors.

Gosh I hope so. 2/3 if the other shades look like they might work for me, so I’d prefer one of those.

I just got off the WL for Ipsy Plus! I was hesistant if I really wanted it after what seemed like disappointment from what influencers got vs. the next box. I had paused my subscription until December so I was confused at first when it said I had a glam bag coming, then realized I got off the waitlist for Plus.
Thankfully, I’m really happy with my reveal! I feel like Ipsy never gave me stuff I actually enjoyed so I’m hoping this time is different, especially at the higher price point.
Here’s what I’m getting:
DR. BRANDT No More Baggage Eye De-Puffing Gel
SLMISSGLAM Eyeshadow Brush Trio
IT COSMETICS
Naturally Pretty Vol 1 Eyeshadow Palette
SOL DE JANEIRO
Brazilian Bum Bum Cream
MAKEUP GEEK
Foiled Lipgloss in Acoustic

I switched my account to every other month last minute, and I won’t be receiving November bag. However, if I did and won’t be receiving IT palette, I would be so upset. The expectation was that everyone receiving the palette, and it is such a let down what they did.
Reply
Anna
I never expected to get the automatically get the IT palette, Ipsy only showed it as a variant on 10/31. The Reddit post that was shared here was possible November items not guaranteed to be in all bags. Some people don’t want eyeshadow at all or rate other products higher etc.
If I wanted a guaranteed eyeshadow palette and didn’t care what brand etc I’d go back to Boxycharm. I just feel like people are expecting this to not be Ipsy and Ipsy has always been variations. Only difference is that plus is full size less variants
