Funny story. My daughter and I are bag twins! How is this even possible? She is 18 at college and got the exact same thing as me(her mom)! Does this mean I am hip or she is ?? Just thought I would share for a laugh or two.

I saw my February reveal which is coming soon. They were dead on with their choices this month. It did take a bit of tweaking on my beauty preference profile, but it paid off.

Saw my bag is shipping! Can’t wait! Love my bag this month and I added a $3 item for the 1st time!

This is my first month with Ipsy, and I see several things I’d like to have. I also do Sephora Play!, but that tends to be more skincare than makeup (except lip crayons!), so I did my Ipsy settings more towards makeup. I’d really like to get at least one of the brushes!

I need a purple eyeliner in my life! Looks like some good products!

I have never received a perfume from Ipsy before and I love perfume!!!! Hoping for the Kensie Life Beat and any of the spoilers except for the eyeliner. Looking like a good month so far.

For everyone who does or doesn’t want something specific, redo your profile information if you haven’t done it recently. I just redid mine and they’ve gone way more specific with the questions and frequency. Ex. on one page I checked that I like to receive eyeshadow often and on another page I checked that I like eyeshadows in colors neutrals sometimes, smokey sometimes, greens and blues rarely, pinks and plums often, and adventurous sometimes. I also checked often for brushes and rarely for eyeliner, etc. I’m hoping the new questions help a lot with what I get.

Please report back and let us know if the new profile survey helped you! I haven’t been updated. Good luck!

I think it worked for me. Here’s what I’m getting:
Farah Powder Brush
Hanelei lip treatment in Peach Pink
Pumpkin Walnut facial cleaner
TheBalm eyeshadow in Take it for Granite (purple)
Seraphine Botanticals highlighter
I’m happy with all of those and I’m definitely getting the colors I prefer. I’m also not getting anything I won’t use. I’d say the personalization does work!
Erin
Will do! I think it’s a great idea – I just wish everyone would have the option.
Erin
Well that’s a bummer! I was hoping they’d put that out there for everyone. It sure makes it more likely to get what you want.

Mine is still the same as well. Although I’m pretty certain they might have added more hair and eye color choices.

It is the same one for me when I joined months ago. It doesn’t give me the option to select frequency 😢

This is only an option for a selected few. Ipsy is in the experimental phase and will be rolling this out to more members soon.

I think they haven’t fully rolled out the updated preference quiz. I do not yet see those types of choices on mine anyway. Hopefully soon, though Ipsy has done a great job sending items I’ll use. I am to the point of ditching BC altogether in favor of Ipsy and BF.

I gave up on Boxycharm, too.
I was just not getting colors that looked good on me, and until they roll out the personalization program, it’s not worth it.
Kenley
I went to update beauty preferences and it is still giving me the same quiz that I did when I signed up months ago.

Mine is still the same as ever. It’s not right that they offer updates and quizzes for some people but not all. I don’t have the “improve my bag” feature either. 🙁

After I emailed them about the personalization quiz, they told me that they were in the experimental phase and it wasn’t going to be available to everybody for a while, but I just went to update my beauty quiz and it allowed me to customize it. I guess you just got to email them if you want it. It was the same way with GBP. I was on the waitlist for a couple months before I emailed them and as soon as I did, I got the invite!

Because Valentines Day is coming up I wouldn’t be surprised if EVERYONE receives a hot pink brush. N yes, those F.A.R.A.H brushes are good quality. I received a set of 4 rose gold in the Plus bag and that same month another matching rose gold one in regular ipsy. Im hoping we get a full sized Glamglow in our Plus bags this month ❤

Im thinking about switching from boxy charm to tipsy after February… As a college student I could use the extra money and I also feel like I would get more use out of this box because I don’t wear makeup every day so small samples could work for me. Does anyone have any other suggestions maybe?

I would love to have the Luxie Brush..after Boxy sent the set in the Dec luxe box, I’m slowly adding to the collection..I hope it’s an add on at least if it’s not in my bag.

I NEED that purple eyeliner!! How fun!!

The red brush is not the correct brush. It is supposed to be a darker hot pink brush with a pointed tip. Same brand but different style.

I want the Elemis face wash because I am using the Elemis moisturizer that came in Boxyluxe last month, also I need that Luxie precision blending brush. No more random EYELINERS would be nice!

I finally unchecked eyeliners because I was sick to death of getting Eyeoko black liquid liners, and now they offer a purple.

I am so here for the purple eyeliner and hot pink brush!! I doubt I’ll get the brush, though, because I don’t like brushes in general and they’re usually pretty good about not sending me any. Maybe it’ll be available as an add-on. I am so jazzed that add-ons seem like they’ll be a regular thing for ipsy!

Does anyone know if F.A.R.A.H brushes are of good quality?

Yeah, I think so. I got the face brush trio in December and I use them regularly for my bronzer and face powder.

Yesss, I have a blending eyeshadow Farah brush and it’s really soft and blends really well!
