– Seascape Eyeshadow Palette (I love the beach-y theme & am excited to try something from this brand!)
– Volume & Curl Mascara (I was in need of a mascara, so perfect timing)
– Go To Face Oil (the thing I wanted most!!!)
– Glam Glow Masks (love skin care & excited to try this brand!)
– Lip Liner Duo (never used lip liner before, but willing to try it out)
I added on:
– R+CO Moisture/Shine Hair Treatment
-TOKYOMILK Lipgloss (looked too good to pass up for half price!)

I am super excited for this bag to get here!!!! Out of all the products shown, they put the exact 5 products I would have chosen for myself. I do the reviews & update my profile every month. They followed my profile completely.
~ I’m getting:
* Wander Beauty Seascape Eyeshadow Palette
* Go-To Face Hero
* Murad Retinol Youth Renewal Eye Serum
* Yensa Tone Up Primer Essential Glow
* Illamasqua Lip Colouring Pencil DUO in Lust & Media (2 Pencils – YAY)
Very, Very Happy With This !!!!

I sure hope we can get an item twice because I want the 111skin serum again next month!
I doubt this is everything. There are usually a few more items that they don’t spoil that are revealed on the 2nd.
I’ve cancelled all my other boxes except the quarterly ones and opted for two GBP’s. I’ve been using more items from GBP than all my other boxes combined.

Courtney, same here. I’ve cancelled everything but this and have 2. The value is phenomenal. I’d love to get 2 nudestix this month.

I’m so hoping for the eye serum and nudestix. I didn’t even realize I was off the waitlist already

Skipping again, nothing worth the price of the while box for me this month.

I just signed up because I am interested in the June bag. Not really interested in this bag. Can I pause my first month? How does one pause? Thanks!

Best way (I think) is to email Ipsy’s customer service but you can go to their app. Look for “account” -> “edit account settings” -> “membership” hope that helps 🙂

Cindy
Thank you for your help. Apparently one cannot skip their first month.
xxAxx
I think I’m going to skip for the third time. I would like to try the Nudestick, glamglow masks and the Yensa primer but it is not a sure ball if I’ll get it all in my box. Murad is something I would like to try too but I have too many eye products from NIOD and Dr. Brandt. Same with the face oil. The Wander pallete doesn’t excite me at all since I don’t wear eyeshadow and mascara too. Too bad, I was so excited for May GBP since it’s my birth month and since I’ve already skipped March and April GBP. I guess I’ll just wait for June then. 🤷🏻♀️
Sorry, I just need to justify and convince myself why I need to skip this month lol

Is there something special you get on your birth month with GBP?

Lisa
Yea I’m skipping this month as well

Cindy
How do you skip?

Hi! I usually email Ipsy’s customer service and they usually reply on time. You can also check their app. Go to Account- Edit account settings- Membership. I prefer emailing them cos I’m afraid I’ll mess up my subscription lol

Nothing exciting or any hero products. Kind of blah. I’m just skipping this month. Ipsy Plus started off with a bang, but I have noticed the last couple of boxes have been meh.

That is why I have not signed up for the GBP, I currently just get the regular GB. I have been debating whether to get both bags or just drop the GB and get GBP, but after seeing what products have been in the GBP I think I may just stick with the GB for now.

Rachel
In a perfect world I’d receive the face masks, eye cream, nude stix, face hero and mascara. Fingers crossed!

Is that everything then? For May?

Wasn’t the Purlisse lotion in last months bag?
Reply

Yeah, but ipsy stated they will not send anyone an item twice. So if you already got it, there’s no way you’ll get it in the May Glam Bag.
Reply
Juliee
I got an item twice. The LXMI Pure Nilotica Melt.
Trish
Ah okay.
Heather Allen
I really love murad but I’m breastfeeding & Retinol is a no no!!! Are we all getting the murad in may box? I me I’d think so seeing as it is the most expensive item here… this was going to be my first plus. I never complain about any of my subscriptions but this makes me sad…
Reply
Rosette
You could try emailing them to opt out of the item, worth a try!
Reply
Marie
Adjust your profile to say that you don’t want eye serums. That might prevent you from getting it.
Reply
Alleson
If you receive this just stick it in the fridge, and use it after the baby is born. It keeps well, and you will need it for those sleepless nights!
Reply
Heather
Yeah I have a Sunday Riley Retinol I’ve been waiting to use from my allure box. But I’ve never used Retinol and dont plan on starting anytime soon. Not only because I’m breastfeeding and plan to have more children. But simply because I’m 29, I look like I’m 12, “if it ain’t broken leave it alone” honestly have been beating myself up about using any creams or serums.
Flora
Most of these products have long shelf lives if unopened. You could always throw it in your fridge until you are ready to use.

Victoria
That’s what I’m doing. Just found I’m pregnant so I’m going to have a great stash of products to look forward to in a couple years!

Just like the regular bag, the items we get is based on our beauty profiles. So unless ipsy clearly states everyone will get an item, like that Violet Voss pallet a couple of months ago, no one is guaranteed a particular item.

Everything looks great to me except the eye palette. I was really disappointed with the one sent in the April box. Would love the eye cream, nudestix, and Face Hero.

I am hoping for the best re the eye shadow palette, because I love Wander Beauty

I got the wander beauty palette this month as a add on but it is in Smokey. I have not gotten my bag yet but I am super excited about getting it! I hope you receive the wander beauty palette next month! I love Wander beauty also! Good luck!
Donna
Not sure if it will be an issue but it says that the Ipsy Glam Bag Plus has an “introductory” price of $25. To me that implies it will change – higher of course. Thoughts anyone?
Reply
Amy
I paid $27.22 for the May bag. it may change
Reply
Sherri Hooper
I don’t understand why they made you pay that much for the GBP bag for next month. I keep getting emails about getting the GBP but it says that I would only have to pay the $25.00. Unless it is because of taxes but we don’t pay taxes on the regular bags so I am not sure why you had to pay $27. I would email them and ask.

It has said that since they launched it. Not sure if they will be raising to price, at some point. I hope not.
Reply
Sherri M Hooper
I am hoping that the price don’t go up on the Ipsy Glam bag plus. I was wondering the same thing! Especially since the add on products are what they are recieving in there bags.

I want one of those nude stickers in color
#3 or # 4 or it won’t match and that’s the worst as we saw in the angry mob reaction in BL over the color FX palette being the wrong color and I really want that face hero oil 👀 I want Murad too !!
Reply
Emmi
I was part of the customers that got the wrong palette in my BL. The problem was that they sent the light colored palettes to dark skinned people and dark colored palettes to light skinned people. I tried swatching the lightest color on my skin to see how it looked and it was wayyy too dark 😔

Getting my first ipsy plus in may yay!!! Happy one year anniversary on ipsy to me!

You can customize it? How many items can you swap out?
Reply
Annie
Not swap out, they’re doing add-ons for an extra charge of either $3 or $12 per item, depending on what you choose.

Sooo has anyone else had complaints about the moods eyeshadows? Cause I put it on and it lasted maybe an hour then it was completely gone… I also had a hard time blending the colors.
Reply
Jessica
I’m actually surprised to hear that, Ive been using mine since I received it and with or without primer, I think it has preformed beautifully. Mine had huge color payoff but was still super buildable (Which i like) and blendable and mine lasted just as well as any other shadow I own. One night i fell asleep with my makeup on ( I know it’s horrible) But the next morning i still had shadow left on my eyes, so not sure how others just disappeared. Very strange maybe it has something to do with your primer or foundation. I didn’t find anything wrong with mine. Let alone to the point of being child’s makeup.

ms.firekat
I love mine too with no problems. Its the perfect grab and go palette with the two browns and all those pops of colors to choose from. I have dry skin so I wonder if that’s why its working for me.
Anna
Definitely not the issue. I have tried different primers, concealers, foundation and even nothing at all. This eyeshadow pallet is a joke. I have to do a ridiculous amount of building it up for the colors to even look nice, but it doesn’t last.. maybe like 2 hours.. 3 if I’m lucky. And with eveyone else (except you) having the same issues.. the pallet is obviously trash.
Jess
Same. I’ve been loving it. Bold colors I normall wouldn’t wear but I like that it’s getting me to step outside my comfort zone. I have found it helps to use a setting spray but when I do that it lasts all day.
Monica
Mine was also gone after a couple of hours.. I wasn’t happy with it to begin with because of the colors, but I gave it a chance and tried it out. I didn’t have a blending problem, it was just too light and didn’t stay.
Reply
Sherri Hooper
This eye shadow is a joke! I completely agree with you! Hopefully we won’t get no more from this brand!
Rebecca
Yes, it was like play makeup a child could use. No real pigment, very dry and not easy to blend. The staying power was horrible. I was very disappointed.
Reply
Sherri Hooper
I agree with you completely! Only I think kids makeup would have been better than this eye shadow! Lol😂 I actually have noticed that a lot of my eye shadow that I get in my Ipsy bags are either super light to the point you cannot even tell I put it on or colors that are off the wall that I will never wear and I get the same brand shadows just different colors. There are so many makeup brands out there! I don’t know why they just stick to the same brands with me!

My mirror was broken. Anyone else? Not sure I’ll even bother calling. It’s not something I’m likely to use.

They also have parabens in them. I plan on giving mine away because I suspect there will be hundreds of these on the swap site.

interesting they are doing so many spoilers early in the month. I am glad they are not making us wait until the 28th of the month to find out.

If you go to Ipsy’s facebook page they had a live stream showing the May spoilers for the Glam Bag Plus. You get a better view of the eye shadow.

Thinking of cancelling Boxycharm and getting a second IGBP. May is so much better thanApril’s box !!
Reply
Annie
My experience with having 2 IGBP subs is that I received duplicate boxes and still had to add on the one main thing I wanted to begin with (the eye cream). So, for that reason I decided it was better to have 1 IGBP sub and 2 regular bag subs. That allows me for all of the add-on options I need and I get exactly what I want each month 🙂 Something to think about!
Reply
Nina
Yup I do the same! 1gbp and 2 regular gbs
Sydney L
Hmmmm I’m torn after seeing these spoilers, right now I only sub to GBP on one of my ipsy accounts but now I’m wondering if I want two?? I NEED the nude stix!
