So, I just received my glam bag today.The whole backside of my bag is covered in dirt and has a bad discoloration to it. It’s very noticeable. They couldn’t have missed it before shipping. Since I have been selecting add-ons, my bag has been really late in the month. or missing products. I went two months in a row where they forgot to add my products to the bag. I like the personalization of my bag, but the shipping time and lack of quality control before shipping is getting annoying.

Damm*t, I got the Julia shade of the Ella Eden. It swatches as straight up shimmer.

I already have TONS of that.

Really would have preferred the other shade.

And ANOTHER Eyeoko liner.

Frustrating.

I got the eyeko liquid eyeliner, clinique take off the day cleansing balm, ella eden eyeshadow, tarte amazonian clay foundation and the belle en argent lip gloss.

I feel like I see a lot of negativity in posts, but I’m always really happy. I just never think to post. So I thought I’d throw out a happy comment. I’m getting a great mix again this month: A lip product (Belle en Argent gloss), eye shadow (Ella Eden), foundation (Tarte, and should be light enough since I picked pale and I assume they would send the lightest color they have for that), brush (Billion Dollar Brows foundation brush), and exfoliating product (SKIN&CO ROMA). Very pleased 😀

I have the exact same bag as you, right down to hopefully the pale option for the foundation. My skin is super dry and I got rid of that foundation once before, but who knows? Maybe changing my skincare routine has made it worth another go. I’m happy you’re pleased, so am I!

I’ve noticed something… when I’ve bought an item that’s been in my Ipsy bag through their ” Shopper” section, and rated the product highly, I tend to get more products in my future bags that are that brand.

For example, I bought another LMXI balm in the tube because I don’t like the jar version, and one was in our first Glam Bag Plus.. So I ordered it with a large discount becauses it had been in my GB Plus.

Since then, I’ve gotten 2 more LMXI samples in my regular Glam Bag. This month all 3 bags have the LMXI pink blush- illuminator cream and it’s a product I’m not seeing posted en masse’ like that clear lip gloss they are overdosing me on this month as well. They must have bought out all the stock of it. LOL.

If there’s a name brand product you want in your bags very much and it’s more of a niche or luxury brand, buying through Ipsy MAY get samples sent to you more often as well.
( Now I’ll probably never get another LMXI brand item and I love the Nil white cream so much LOL).

LOVE my GB Plus, but feel really let down about my reg. Glam bags. Maybe I don’t need 3 of them.

Bag one-

FLUIDE Lip Gloss in Elsewhere- X 3 and it’s.. clear..

NAILMEDIC Nail Polish in Rosé and Chill- I love this!

LXMI Nilotica Goddess Glow- times 3 bags

ILLAMASQUA Colouring Pencil Eye Crayon in Honour- NO just NO to this shade! Other one is gorg.

H2O+ BEAUTY Oasis Hydrating Treatment- Age appropriate and will be used at some point.

Other items in other 2 bags which are not listed above:

GOLDFADEN MD Skin Balancing Mask X2

SLMISSGLAM SB68 Eye Brush X2

TARTE Amazonian Clay 12-Hour Full Coverage Foundation SPF 15 in Fair Sand X2

what did you get in your plus bag? I still can’t see my spoilers for some reason. 😭

Eyeko Eyeliner –
Okay with this because I go through eyeliner pretty fast and Ipsy hasn’t given it to me before

Billion Dollar Browns Foundation Brush –
I’ve never used a brush for liquid foundation, so I guess this will be a learning experience for me! Plus I can always use more brushes.

Luna Highlighter –
My first baked highlighter, not super excited about it, but you never know!

Jersey Shore Lip Balm –
I love lip balms but I hate mint flavors. I guess it’s okay because it’s winter and i’ll probably need tons of lip balms.

Tarte foundation –
Altered my profile to get this so I’m happy ! Hopefully the shade matches!

Very jealous of the people with the Sand&Sky exfoliating treatment.

The Luna highlighter is not bad! I was not expecting much at all and maybe it’s just me but it provides the perfect subtle glow.

Ugh my bag is not my favorite- minus the Tarte foundation which I am excited for. I also got the OUAI leave-in conditioner, which is fine but I have unchecked hair products for months now as I have way too many and the SL Miss Glam eyeshadow brush, which again, is fine, but not something I am excited for. I have tools checked on my page because I love getting sponges and power or blush brushes, not eye brushes. I wish you could specify more. The two I really don’t want are the Color Club Polish and Fluid Gloss. Just colors I won’t wear.

I don’t hate the bag, but I don’t love it. It would be so awesome to have like a “neutral” bag option where they all were just simple, neutral colors. Even just a plain black bag every month would be more useful for me.

*GOLDFADEN MD Skin Balancing Mask (i love skincare so this is a win)

*HEMPZ Herbal Lip Balm (i checked yes to this on the survey, ive been using hempz lotion for years and love it so i’m looking forward to the balm)

*HOLA NEON Velvet Liquid Lip (i’m not really a liquid lip gal but this color is gorgeous)

*THEBALM Blush in Bare Minimum (very disappointed with this pick, i just received a blush last month and i don’t even use blush)

*TARTE Foundation (i switched my profile around in hopes of being able to try this product, looking forward to it!)

all in all, a good bag. i just wish Ipsy would miss me with the blush moving forward, half of my makeup routine goes toward removing the appearance of redness on my face.

I’m happy with my glam bag. The bag is pretty, even if it’s a bit summery for January.

Eyeko Eyeliner. I started Ipsy in October so I figure it’s time. Feel like I’m part of the club.

Ciate Wonderwand Mascara. Wanted to try this.

Hola Neon Velvet Liquid Lip in DF. Always ready to try a new lip product.

Elle Eden eyeshadow in Willow. Looks pretty but either color would be fine.

Jersey Shore lip balm – eh, can always use another balm

I am not really feeling my bag this month. I am getting an Eyeko eyeliner (again), skin balancing mask, lip balm, lip liner, and Tarte foundation (which I will be happy with if it in fact works with my complexion).

Bag twins and I wasn’t excited about it either… as a matter of fact this is my worst Ipsy bad yet, in over a year of subscribing 😞.. lets cross our fingers for a better February bag!

I’m pretty underwhelmed at my bag …. Firma blush brush (I do like brushes), clinique take the day off cleansing balm, ella eden eyeshadow , color club nail polish, illamasqua eye crayon.

And it seems to be taking forever to ship…. still being assembled….

Pretty disappointed:

* Illmasqua lip liner in Lust – a color I’ll never wear…
* Ella Eden Pressed eyeshadow in Julia – another color I’ll never wear
* Firma Beauty elite blush brush – I don’t really use powder bush so… hooray?
* Eyeko liquid line – haha, I do use liquid liner, but between several box subscriptions, I now
have enough Eyeko eyeliners and random highlighters to last me the rest of my life!
* Pure Brazilian leave in conditioner – this could be good IF it isn’t strongly scented. If it is, it’s
another giveaway item.

I guess I need to update my profile somehow and be more clear… which I thought I was, but apparently not.

Considering adding the Yensa pumpkin mask & the Goldfaden balancing mask samples, but don’t know if I even wanna bother… :/

Ugh! I didn’t get anything I wanted and I got the dreaded Eyeko liner too.

FIRMA BEAUTY 102 Elite Blush Brush (I just got a blush brush from another sub)
EYEKO Eye Do Liquid Eyeliner (yet another…I’m going through my 3rd one!)
CIATÉ LONDON Wonderwand Mascara (IT mascara in my Dec box)
PURE BRAZILIAN Leave-In Conditioner (I make my own leave-in conditioners)
BELLE EN ARGENT Lip Luire Lip Gloss in Bored Now (I don’t like high gloss)

I’m getting:

-Tarte Amazonian Clay Foundation in Fair Sand

-Jontebleu Lip Liner in Plum

-Hempz Herbal Lip Balm

-Ella Eden Eyeshadow in Julia

-Billion $ Brows Foundation Brush

I’m fairly happy with this bag. Hoping that foundation is a good match, because we all know that can be iffy. The only add on I wanted was the full size Hey Honey serum which was already sold out, so I’m not adding anything else.

Dang ipsy! Way to start the year off wrong for me! Who’s Glambag are they sending me. Absolutely everything is not a match for me except 2 sheet masks. The other 4 items are all the wrong shades! I’m actually getting something I just opted out of and shouldn’t be getting. Purple lipliner, the balm blush in a shade that will not work with my color. Not to mention I always rate the balm at a 1. Some dark ugly nail polish, so that’s actually 2 items I opted out of that I’m getting?! WTH ipsy?!

LydiaAS

I love the bag! It looks so country French.

I’m happy with what I’m getting. Filling out the questionnaire and rating produxcts seems to be paying off.

– Fluide lip gloss
– Ciate Londonmascara
– H2O + Beauty hydrating treatment
– Nailmedic nail polish (I didn’t check off nail polish, but that’s a gorgeous color I’d actually use)
– Ella Eden eyeshadow in Willow or Julia (The big question mark – will Ipsy send me yet another boring, useless metallic beige eye shadow, or will they give me the purple shades I keep asking for?)

I also did a red lip pencil add-on, so this is a bag I’m really happy to start the new year with.

This is what I’m getting in my bag for January.

● JEJU:EN Sheet Mask & Chill Set in This Sheet Is Bananas & You Can’t Handle This Sheet

● ILLAMASQUA Colouring Pencil Eye Crayon in Honour

● KASCA Nail Polish in Velvet Black Matte

● SLMISSGLAM SB68 Eye Brush

● BELLE EN ARGENT Lip Luire Lip Gloss in Bored Now

I only chose 1 add on this month. I chose a add on from the glam bag plus section. I think it’s awesome I can do that considering I just have the regular subscription. I chose OFRA COSMETICS
Highlighter in Rodeo Drive. They charged me $12 and it’s full sized! On Ofra’s website for $35!!!

Overall, I’m so satisfied! I love everything they picked for me and I like the bag! Ipsy is killing it for January!

This is what I’m getting this month:

Ella Eden eyeshadow
Belle En Argent lipgloss
Ahava hand cream
Luxie small contour brush
Ciate Wonderland mascara

I also purchased three addons this month:

Seraphine Botanicals loose eyeshadow
Naked Cosmetics loose pigment
SL MissGlam eye brush

To be honest, the brush would probably be the only thing that I’m not excited about getting, but I’m happy to be getting three makeup items this month, since December’s bag was pretty lackluster for me. So all in all, I am happy this month.

A bit underwhelming for me this month. Getting an eyeko black liner – I think that’s what throws me most! But I am getting a non nude polish, so excited about that. Some hempz lip balm which I guess is Ok, another glam brush very similar to the last one they sent me, and a lip liner that looks nice.

I think I will email to opt out of eye liners. They just sent me a bronze in a recent bag which was nice but I definitely won’t use black.

Sad I didn’t get the tarte foundation, though!

Jennifer – Which shade of Tarte foundation do you wear ? I am receiving 2 of them in my Ipsy Bags. My skin is too dry for the product, and I don’t even have it checked on my preference list ? I don’t know anyone who wants to try it.

Shawna

I’m getting:

FLUIDE Lip Gloss in Elsewhere (It’s just clear? BORING.)

YENSA PUMPKIN TURMERIC 2-in-1 Radiance Polishing Mask (Awesome, an actual wash-off mask and not a peel-off.)

NOMAD COSMETICS Illuminating Highlighter in Midnight Sun (Another ‘golden champagne’ highlighter. Going to stop asking for highlighters because I have such a big collection of them.)

TARTE Amazonian Clay 12-Hour Full Coverage Foundation SPF 15 (Great, I’ve been wanting to try this!)

SLMISSGLAM SB68 Eye Brush (Would’ve preferred a non-eye brush, but this is fine.)

So a 3/5 month, but maybe it’s because I need to change my profile (No more highlighters and no ‘nude’ glosses).

I think my January bag is the worst I’ve gotten from Ipsy, and I am usually happy with my picks. I am getting:

Ouai Leave In Conditioner (the only product I actually want)

Jeju:En Sheet Mask Set (like sheet masks, and I will use these so not a total loss)

VDL Lumilayer Primer (I use primers so this is an ok product to receive)

Illamasqua Eye Liner in Honor (I don’t use eyeliner and I emailed to opt out of this type of product awhile ago, but I am still receiving them. Emailed them about half an hour ago regarding this, but haven’t heard back yet)

Fluide Lip Gloss in Elsewhere (Another lip gloss. I have received one every month for the last 3 months.)

I usually get at least 1 product from my survey, but this month, nothing. The add-ons they are offering are pretty good, but I find that it takes longer to get my bag if I choose an add-on so I am opting out of doing that this month. The New Year with Ipsy isn’t starting off good. I am hoping that next month will be better.
