So I just got my February bag and was missing 2 of the add ons I paid for. Not cool. So now I’m waiting on them to send them to me. And what is with all the rewards being 600 points… When I joined like 8 months ago there were plenty of rewards from like 150 to 600.. It seems like now they are all 600. I haven’t been able to get anything in months because I’m not up to that yet after spending them on my last item. Wish they would bring back the cheaper rewards for people who don’t have 600 points built up.

I was missing both of my add ons as well. I’m hesitant to add on again until they send me the replacement items.

I agree, with the rewards. I’ve been with ipsy for years. A lot of changes to the regular 10.00 Glam Bag with points, and the new Glam Bag Plus seems to be what ipsy is focused on more. Just my opinion! But I still love them anyways! I’m going to give it a little while for all the changes and then decide if I want to change to another subscription box!

That’snot factual, they are focusing on both subscriptions the same. The glam bag subscribers were able to get add ons before the Plus subscribers. If they “focused ” ,or basically cared more about the Plus users, it would’ve been opened up to them first, or to both subscriptions, at the same time.

I haven’t received mine either, it is supposed to be here February 27th though.
I picked the Purlisse moisturizer because I have the Blue Lotus face mask, it’ll be nice to try them together.
What did you pick?? 🙂

I keep watching for the MSA review on Ipsy Plus (Feb). Is that coming soon?

I have been hanging onto points forever, but haven’t seen anything I want. Couldn’t they put something decent now and then?

I wish Ipsy had a better rewards program! The items lately have been worth a lot of points and I feel like it takes forever to accrue them.
I love Boxy’s rewards program but I’m going to cancel them and go with Glam Bag Plus. Just waiting for Boxy to have more than pencils in their charm shop!
Anyways, that’s my useless opinion of the day! Happy subscribing everyone!

Just wanted to say, your opinion is never useless (it expresses a lot of what I’m also thinking), tho… that last part made me lol >.<

I’m doing the same thing. I thought Boxy was supposed to start adding items to the charm room on Friday afternoons. I can’t say I’m surprised that’s not happening, but I do hope they get something decent in there before the last day to cancel this month. If not I’m still saying goodbye after 4 years. I’ve been on the fence for a while but this month they sent me a box that had busted bronzer EVERYWHERE. I sent several pics of the bronzer (in and out of the box) and the huge mess it made but they wouldn’t replace it or offer any other resolution because I’d thrown the filthy mailing box away immediately after taking the photos because it dirtied my clothes and carpet. I explained this and they just never bothered to reply. It’s ok though, I’ve been over them for a while. And I LOVE my Ipsy Plus!!!! So much more than any other beauty box I’ve tried.
I’m sure you’ll be pleased with it too, Kara! Enjoy!
