Ipsy April 2019 Add-On Spoilers!

You can have more than one but you need a new account for it. with a new email address.

I think it’s the full size. It’s still pretty small but that’s Oribe for you. I think the normal price is $42 so $12 is a bargain if it works for you. I got a sample from Birchbox I think and it works pretty well for me. My scalp gets very dry and itchy in small areas sometimes and most drugstore treatments don’t work for me. So I am definitely hoping it’s FS. And I’m relieved I can still get it as an add-on. I skipped my Plus sub this month because most of the items don’t appeal to me. Hoping I can add this and possibly the palette though I really shouldn’t.

A scalp treatment with silicones makes no sense to me! Maybe use this and then they can sell you a buildup removal treatment 😂

I agree. Ipsy has come a long way and doing a great job. I hope I get the palette in my box, but if I don’t, I’ll add that and the scalp treatment to my box. If I do, I’m sure I’ll add three items no matter what. The add-on prices make it so worth it.

Well in my case I spent $3 on a full size item worth close to 10x that definately would not appreciate one of their $3 samples instead so let’s hope they send right product.

I was missing the Superfood Cleanser add-on. I was told a replacement shipped so I’ll have to wait and see if it’s the cleanser or another item. At least I’m getting something for my $3.

Out of the 16 add-on items I’ve gotten, they’ve messed up twice. The first time it was missing entirely and then they sent the right item a few weeks later. The second time they sent the wrong item and then they sent another wrong item a few weeks later (though I like the second wrong item better than what I actually bought so I’m cool with it). For me that’s a 12.5% error rate which is pretty significant. However, their customer service has been excellent and they really do try to make it right (in my experience) so I plan to continue to get add-on’s on both bags.

Short answers no, yes and yes.
No- You dont automatically qualify for the add-ons.
Yes- Theres is a wait list for the add-ons. But when you get your first GBP you can email customer service and ask if you can do the add-ons the next month. (That’s what I did)
Yes- they show you what you are getting in your box and show you the add-ons you can pick from.
🙂 hope I cleared it up for you. 👝iPsy💕ip

Hi, I have been subscribed almost 3 years, I’ve seen all the upgrades Ipsy has made since then. So here are the answers

my question- does every monthly box come with the option to add on items? Yes you have Options for $12 that are full size make up items and other sample options $3. Depending on what they have.
And does Ipsy show you the items you’re receiving for that upcoming month and then give you the option to choose? They do show you what you get but you do not have options to pick or choose your sample. But they try really hard to keep it as close to your profile customization.

You don’t get to chose the items in your box or bag, those are chosen for you based loosely on your preferences. You can go in and modify your preferences after the reveal. Also, reviews help lots w upcoming bags/boxes too. So be sure and do those! And can use those points for free items too! Also, you can write in and opt out of up to two items too to help make your sub more to your liking.

Add ons are available to some (tho NOT all) on the 2nd of the month at the time that reveals go live which is like about 7/8am CST. They’re only available for 24hrs and not all items are offered and some items do sell out. You can’t go back once they come up so you have to decide and order and pay for them then. Samples are $3/each and full size are $12/each. You can order a TOTAL of 3 add ons her bag/box. They come w your bag/box tho it does slow down shipping some. Also now it’ll later show the add ons w your other items on the site or app and you can review and get points for each one! Think they still email your add ons to you right after you order too!

They show you every item you are getting in your bag or box usually on the 2nd of the month and that’s always the same day the add ons are released. There’s no wait-list for add ons.

It does appear that the palette will be in the Plus box and more than likely all of them and not a variation item! #sorry

According to the video posted on Reddit the full size palette will be in the IGBP and singles in the regular glam bag. Someone also posted on there that there are 10 new items for the May improve my glam bag quiz. They were added today.

Usually the full size add-ons are in the Glam Plus box already but they are available as add-ons if you didn’t get them in your 5 for the month already. Hope that makes sense.

Some of the full-sized stuff in the GBP is available as a $12 add-on.

Also, are the add-ons limited to 3 per account or 3 per bag/box? Wondering if I’ll be able to get 6 add-ons total. 3 for the ipsy bag and 3 for ipsy plus. Thanks in advance!

Story of my life 😅

It was only Jan when they decided it was cool to send me ONE of my add-ons rather than both…

I’ve had them send me the wrong items in my regular bag which they mostly fixed when I emailed them and send me a lip scrub and mascara Instead of the tarte palette and purlisse mask. I noticed a lack of palette first and e.ailed right away and they sent me the palette but I didn’t realize about the mask and didn’t want to email them again. This last box was perfect with add on and all.
