I’ve been back & forth on skipping or canceling this one since I get GBP. Having taken the quiz, looked at spoilers & the bag itself is meh, I’m gonna skip May & probably totally cancel in June or July. None of these spoilers excite me & I’ve got so many sample sizes of makeup and skincare. Definitely appreciate all the spoilers throughout the month to help decide.

Hey guys, I’m trying to skip this month’s glam bag but it says I can’t shop until June 1st if I skip. Does this mean I can’t add stuff on tomorrow? Thanks so much! 😊

You can’t add anything until May 2nd. The add ons come in your bag so if you skip I don’t see how you could get them. I know you can’t redeem points when skipped and I don’t think you can buy Ipsy offers either.

Ipsy is officially my favorite subscription. I received my April bag today along with my Allure April box. I have just now canceled Allure. Enough said on that. Although my curated Ipsy items were okay, the add on items are AWESOME. I added the Jelly Pong lop oil, the Seraphine Botanicals Berry+Juice lippie and a 111 Skin skincare item… Both of the lip items are really deluxe sizes! And they are both amazing! I wish I would have skipped the serum and added the other lip juice product. I am so happy with this bag! I LOVE ADD-ONS!

I want the shimmer eye shadow contour & the highlighter. I already have the blush brush & the good genes lactic acid treatment.
Id kill for the BareMinerals dew mist.

I realized as I got add-ons for several bags in a row, I got fewer great items in my bag. That’s because the items I added were ones that might have been in my following bag, yet since I had already bought and reviewed them, I didn’t get them in my bag. So I got items I don’t usually get and can’t use. No more add ons for me. I’ve also noticed that they’re adding more of the higher priced add ons. And finally, I’m concerned that the better branded items that are most popular will eventually ONLY (or mostly) be available as add ons which defeats the purpose of a surprise bag. I get why you love it, but the bag worked better for me before.

I agree with you on ALL points said & have noticed the same thing with the add-ons!!!!! For 2 months I purchased add-ons then my paycheck got switched around so now I get my check after the 2nd, so I can’t purchase any add-ons now bc it’s only available for 1 day(which is stupid bc NOT everyone gets paid the same days!) But this month I was not able to get any add-ons & I literally got the best & most expensive yet $10 bag($20 travel size watermelon balm, $35 Ofra Highlighter, thebalm lip stain, a single pan transitional eyeshadow in a wearable color & some skincare! So what you’re saying seems to be the case for me as well! No add-ons & my bags are awesome, getting add-ons & my bags have repeats in ALL of them, I dont get the products I want! I definitely see what you’re saying!!!!! ✌💖💄

That’s true! But this last month, I added the it Cosmetics Bye Bye Undereye because it’s so expensive and I’ve already gotten it from Ipsy. So, if they have something you’ve already gotten but love… Now my overnight bag is ready to go!

Great skincare choices this month! I’d love the Sunday Riley, the eggplant cleanser, and the Goldfadden moisturizer, the wrinkle cream… really, anything but the highlighter and that Blossom eyeshadow.

Oh my goodness the bag reminds me of sand at the beach! I love it! I admit I like glittery things. 🙂 I hope to get the red velvet lipstick!

The items are ok but the bag is a miss. Perhaps I will like it better in person.

I tried to be so good this month and cut down on my subs well first off bc nothing was appealing, and I needed to save money . I thought I had this FOMO addiction under wraps . But , no I just go and added Beauty Report Box Spring edition and another skincare box, justifying it to myself bc “ oh they have a coupon “ and thinking we’ll I cut back in 4 subs , beauty addiction is real lol – and I am in the clutches of it !! 🤣😂🥰- lord help me when add ons for IPSY open up ! Beauty addiction is a rabbit hole , and I’m circling it..

Love the spoilers! I’ll be spending an additional $9 on 3 add-ons, lol. I love the bag as well. I prefer this material vs the flimsy cloth bags. I’m excited for May 🙂

The April lemon bag is so cute! And the lip products from the April options are wonderful! Got one in my bag… not the best shade plus 2 great add-ons! Can’t wait to wear one tomorrow!

What a great variations of spoilers. I love everything and I personally can never have too many red lippies.

😍😍 Hoping I get the eyeshadow quad, hemp lippie, blossom shadow, gold highlighter, and pixie liner!! I love that even if you don’t get an item included, you can still purchase a sample size if you really want it! I don’t use makeup enough to spend $40+ on full sizes of anything, so this is perfect for me. Can’t wait!!

I have been doing beauty sub boxes since 2014, and have yet to receive a Bobbi Brown item! Please ipsy!!!!!!!!!!!
Reply
Jody
You might want to check your quiz & retake it. Just maybe you didn’t have Bobbi Brown listed as something you would like. I would think you been a member long enough should have gotten something Bobbi Brown already. Changing the quiz does change the items you get also doing the reviews as well helps.
Reply
liina
Hmmm I have been since end of 2014 and no Bobbi Brown yet. I need to go check too.
Mel
So many great items! I am tempted to add the regular bag back to my GBP. I have canceled all of my other subscriptions except BoxyCharm, so, I’m spending less money than I was….. :oD

I say go for it. I’ve been getting ipsy for years. And when I started receiving GBP in October I opened a second account so I could still get the basic ipsy bags. And as a fun perk you can purchase 3 add ons with the subscriptions each every month.

Ryansuzette
You didn’t have to open a second acct to get both the reg $10 GB AND the GB+!
You Can get both on the SAME acct…
& I know this for a fact, bc I do it.
But I do have 2 separate accts just so I get 2 of each😬🤫🤦🏻♀️😂 lol
Yeah, I have just a “slight” Subscription addiction (& get like 8-9 diff sub boxes besides Ipsy😬)

Love the Bobbi Brown lipstick formula but I’m not wild about either of those shades. Good Genes is amazing and is definitely a must have face product for me. I hoard the samples since I travel for work a few days a month. Most of the other products are definitely of interest. For $10, I’m not complaining about this month’s bag!

This is a fun subscription to have. I’m not too much into makeup but this is a girls dream. My 17 year old daughter and I love to try all the stuff we get.

I am fine with everything except the red lipstick. I really do not want another one.

I LOVE red lipsticks!! Reds, berries, fuschias are my colors! If I never get another nude, blush, taupe, or brown EVERRRR it will be fine with me! They’re too similar to my actual lip color (my daughter’s words lol) so they add nothing. I’ve tried using liners with them and BLECHHH!! Still nothing! So, I end up giving them away. So, I’ll gladly take all the red reds, blue reds, orangey reds, fire engine reds 🔴 they’ve got.

Agree! Which there was an option on the profile to day “never send” as I don’t ever wear lip products.

Ohhh girl!! I am soooo with you, AND I even told them the first time I got one, please no more Red Lippies! And big brushes! I just don’t use them! Yet, those are the two things I get most..ugh!

Don’t forget the Eyeko black eyeliner…I subscribe to 10 or so monthly boxes and I swear I get at least 2 every month. I rarely wear eyeshadow, much less eyeliner.
