I really wish there were options such as makeup only, skincare only, or mix. I answered my questions in the best way I could to try to at least get mostly makeup, but I keep getting a lot of skincare. I already subscribe to a korean skincare box, I just want makeup. I don’t feel like they take my profile into consideration at all with the ipsy plus box, however I am usually quite pleased with the ipsy glam bag as it does seem more tailored to my profile. After seeing what I’m getting this month–more skincare and the makeup items I indicated I did not want, I am cancelling ipsy plus and sticking with boxycharm. But I will still be splurging on the ipsy glam bag too because so far they are nailing that one! 🙂

I must be backwards with this sub 😂. I love my box this month (added on the Huda eye and glow recipe) and disliked my box so much last month I complained and cancelled my membership. Then I had a talk with CS and decided to give them one more chance. And this month is really great IMO

[Not saying that this is bad but… maybe…] they literally gave me a free mini Huda when I reactivated my ipsy subscription, so for them to put them in the GBP, makes me feel like it might not be worth subscribing. I was going to switch from BC, but with BC comes BLuxe and I’m not ready to give that up… I will have subscribed to BC for a year in September and I will be cancelling after I receive my September BLuxe because I’m getting married next October and need to save all my coins, but for a brief moment I thought of just switching to GBP and getting rid of BC but now… eh… I’m thinking maybe just cancel them all.

I’m getting the highlighter pallet in dessert sands, it cosmetics mascara, glow recipe, the naked loose pigments, and the pixi mist.
I’m willing to swap something for the touch in sol if anyone is interested.
I was hoping for the loose pigments but was expecting more vibrant colors. Really care nothing for anything pixi.
I was surprised at the add ons, there wasn’t really anything I wanted to add this month.

Just got my reveals. I am super disappointed. I was hoping for the Huda highlighters and got the eyeshadow palette in Mauve. I got the dark one last time. 🙁
I got the pixi spray, the mascara, purlisse green tea moisturizer, and some wander highlighter.
This is really *rappy bag for me. I have been super happy with most of my GBP but This one has been the worst.

I feel you on the disappointment. I was going to skip July but then saw the Glow Mist and the eyeshadow palette possibilities and decided to go for it. I got the highlighter and super disappointed. I barely ever use highlighter and when I do, its the liquid kind. Super disappointed I even got the box this month 😔 This is the worst box I’ve gotten.

you can add the eye shadow palettes for $12 that’s what I did
Leah
Uuugh, so sorry Sabina! I would totally trade you the eye palette for the highlight but I live in Turkey and I won’t even get my cr*ppy bag until August!!! 🙁
Anyway we are buying a bigger house and doing renovations, so I have to cancel all my subs! I thought this would be my last awesome box!!! Man I got that wrong!!! 😔

This actually really bothers me. This is on my box. This box is billed as full sized product. A travel size is not a full sized product. I think this is borderline false advertising
amyr
I saw that. Not even an ounce. Like .85 fl oz.
I want it too but you don’t get very much.
I hate when companies pull the old milliliters or centimeters. I guess I should learn them but have never needed to learn them.

I don’t know what to think. I was supposed to get my first glam bag plus in July. They sent me an email guaranteeing me that I would get the Plus for July of I upgraded and I would get the highlighter palette. I have just visited the site and it shows that they billed me for my regular bag and not the plus. It also says that I am active with plus and will get my next one in August. What about July?! If they do this to me again, I will be be so mad. 😠 When I first signed up for plus in May, I was told that I would get it, then they sent me an email stating that I would get the regular bag. So, I cancelled and ended up resigning up for the reg. bag in June. I got that and wasn’t thrilled with it. I want a makeup -heavy bag so maybe this isn’t the best sub for me? I don’t know. Could somebody please let me know your thoughts on Ipsy and what is happening? Because I am *thisclose* to canceling.

I would definitely email Ipsycare. I ha e always had any issue resolved by their great CS. IMHO Ipsy GBP is the best sub out there right now. For me anyways. I like the mixture of lots of skincare and makeup and they have been great with the products they are putting out month by month. I will say that this month has a lot of different moisturizers, and I am really hoping for the Glow Recipe Pink Juice, but I have a strange feeling it may be a unicorn item this month.

the watermelon one? its so funny, i love watermelon as a fruit but anything watermelon scented or flavored 🤢

I am pretty excited about this box. I love the Purlesse watermelon ball much and I hope that I get it but I will make sure that I am up super early to get it as an add on if I have to. There are so many great skin care items and after getting over being sick, my skin needs all the hydration it can get. I have a shopping list for add ons because of the variety this time. Earlier this week I tried to adjust my profile and wasn’t able to, did anyone else have that problem?

Does anybody get 2 ipsy glam plus bags a month…if so do you get different items or the same?

This is my second month getting 2 GBP’s – last month they were almost the same (both had a mascara but different brands). This month there were several differences.
Reply
Jill M
I get two and the first month they were identical even though the profiles we’re completely different! I had one set towards makeup heavy and the other towards skincare heavy. I also had one set to very comfortable with makeup and the other basically I know nothing about makeup. Last month they were different items, so we shall see tomorrow what happens 🤷🤷

Oh Man, that sucks!
I might be one of the unfortunate people with duplicates,
I use different ages. Like 85 and 23.

I have two! They were totally different except for the Trestique. Of course one of my GBP boxes never arrived and Ipsy refunded me.
Try changing your age/profile on the boxes. That works for me! ✨

Skipping July for both GBP subs, AND put a non-working, non-expired CC on file to prevent them from doing their ” Oops” charge thing. ( It happens).
I just don’t want the HUDA items or the loose pigment eye shadows. I also hate the brand PIXI.

I will say that compared to last month, this month is underwhelming. Also having rosacea, the last thing that I want is pink highlighter. I know that not everything is going to be spectacular all the time, and that’s okay so long as the bad doesn’t start to outweigh the good. I guess I’m basically saying, I’m here for the skin care, not the makeup.

If what you want is skincare, then I highly recommend pinkseoul.com subscription. I have been using for two cycles now and the products are very high quality, and very personalized to your skincare needs. I get the plus box as it is recommended for women over 35, and I have loved every product and my skin has never been more clear and beautiful–I don’t even feel the need to use foundation or anything to “cover up” my horrible skin, it really is healing it! They also have their regular box for women who are not worried about age-related skin problems yet 😉 The box itself does cost more, but it is bimonthly, so averaged out monthly its the same as any other box at around 20ish per month. And the products are full sized and last a very long time! I’m not even close to using anything up yet, and I use everything daily.

You might want to invest your $25 into the BeautyFix box from Dermstore instead then bc all that is, is skin care. Ipsy is very heavily makeup and usually doesn’t have much high quality skincare in it. Although the brands have gotten better as of lately. Credit where it’s due LOL

I decided to get the BGP for July. Despite not receiving a June box and only getting a refund I can hope that my July box will arrive.
I think I heard (here perhaps) that DHL had a strike which resulted in delays and box losses. Hopefully the issue is resolved.
I really hate DHL and Fedex Smartpost. They are so low in priority.
But this looks like an amazing box so I am going to try to get it. Hopefully I won’t have another box loss. I really liked what I was supposed to receive in the June box.

I totally agree with you on there delivery companies….if they would just take it to the post office it would be quicker on delivery….all these beauty boxes would be better off…
Reply
Emma
I don’t disagree with you at all that dhl/smartpost are terrible. But companies use dhl/smartpost because they’re cheaper. How do you think they manage to offer free shipping?
More importantly, are you willing to pay more for a better shipping experience?

Seriously.

When I upgraded to the GBP, they deactivated my regular GB sub. I’m trying to add the GB back on but can’t find a way to do it. Does anybody know how? TIA.

i think they automatic switch from GB to GBP when you get off the waitlist. that happened to me but I am glad I didn’t have 2 subs going on. I thnk you can just sign up for GB or email them to continue you GB. after getting full sized products now, I have lost interest in the little sized ones.

Sounds like you should contact ipsy’s customer service. They shouldn’t have deactivated your regular glam bag without your request. When I added GBP, I kept my GB because I had paid for the full year. I did recently request a three month break.

Ipsy customer service is so much better than BoxyCharm. My bag got stuck in my delivery city which is more of a post office/DHL issue than an Ipsy issue, but I contacted Ipsy anyways, and they said that I was outside the 10 day delivery policy and they’re sending me a new bag. Mind you, they got back to me only five or so hours after emailing them. On the other hand, I ordered something from the charm room with BoxyCharm, and they are sending it to my billing address. I contacted them, it took them a week to get back to me, and they just said basically too bad. They won’t refund my charms or anything, they just sent me my tracking info again. I canceled with them and let them know that Ipsy blows them out of the water for customer service. I’m sure the one over worked person they have reading emails won’t care, but it felt good.

The Glow Watermelon moisturizer they showed on the Ipsy facebook page was the small size. I was hoping Ipsy would send us the larger size. I’m gonna skip and see if there is something I want to add on.

How were you able to tell it was the small size ? I would be fine with that if they were going to give us 2 more of the skincare items. They seem to have quite a bit this month. I would be happy with pretty much all of them. I am kind of hoping because I got the Huda eye palette the last time I don’t get the naked pigments this month .

You can skip the glam plus and purchase add ons only if you are getting the regular glam bag.

I wanted to get some opinions. Is Ipsy and Ipsy Plus the best monthly Make up bag you can subscribe to?
I like to try different kinds of skin care.
Reply
Debbie
For skincare I would go with test tube if you want full size and Beautyfix if you want deluxe size samples. Ipsy does have some skincare but they have traditionally been a make up focused subscription. I have been sooooo happy with test tube.
Reply
Alexis R
My test tube was delivered this morning and it is INCREDIBLE!!!!! It is rapidly becoming my favorite sub box, despite the not so great website. IPSY GBP is a very close second.
Anyone looking for skincare, you really should check out test tube from new beauty. I want to sing its praises from the top of a mountain haha
Alexis R
Ipsy GBP is great about mixing skin care and makeup. New Beauty Test Tube is my favorite sub for mostly skin care (usually full size too!). Their website is a little lame but the products sent every 2 months are out of this world! By far the best sub for mainly skincare. I have seen a few negative comments about their customer service, but if you call their 800 number they are very nice and will help accommodate your needs. I cannot sing Test Tube’s praises high enough! This month is some really amazing full size skin care and some awesome precision tweezers!

BeautyFix is a really good skincare box. It really depends on what your goal is. Like with me, I want whatever I subscribe to, to be able to cover most of my skincare needs. I don’t want to have to buy things like cleanser, moisturizer, sheet masks and oils. For those reasons Ipsy Plus is my best value. I don’t normally get more than 2 skincare items per box, but they are full size and stuff I’m happy to use and I can always add on more skincare. The skincare more than pays for the box, so I consider the make-up as really nice extras. IMO, Plus is the best value both in retail and personal value, you really can’t beat it for $25. But, if my goal was to discover the best skincare products no matter the cost, I would probably go with BeautyFix,Test Tube or Minted. The reason I don’t is that I’m afraid I’ll fall in love with a product that I can’t afford to purchase.😂 I already have a couple expensive HG skincare products I can’t live without, but I have to prioritize and I’m never going to be that girl who spends $60 on a moisturizer.💁 A good chemical exfoliant or serum, yes! But not a moisturizer, cleanser or oil. I like that Plus keeps me stocked up on the essentials and that’s saying something, because it’s the only subscription I have at this time.

Boxycharm has been doing more skincare lately too. If you do Boxycharm, you have options. Keep the normal $21 a month or upgrade and pay $21 a month with every 3 months being boxyluxe and costing $50 instead. You get way more products that way. They also do limited edition skincare boxes for purchase by subscribers.
I’m actually doing both right now. July will be my third month of Ipsy glam plus. I’ve been an off and on again Boxycharm sub for a few years.

Well look into Glossybox cause I had a coupon code Glossy25 that took 25% OFF a yearly subscrition. YOu can try it to see if it works for some of the monthly or other options. I like all my sub boxes. But I am newer to them all.
MzBev
Lol. They have done ONE limited edition skincare box. ONE – EVER. A couple of years ago they had a regular limited edition box. That is a total of 2 – TWO – in the history of their business. I wouldn’t be recommending anyone sub to Boxy, just to hope for another limited edition box of any kind.
Ipsy Plus is substantially better than Boxy. (And yes, I’ve had both)
Katie
In my opinion it totally is, and the only one I subscribe to at the moment. I’ve been subscribed to as many as 13 different boxes at a time. 😬 I had a problem. Ipsy really upped their game even with the regular glam bag but the glam plus box is so good. They have even changed their profile info, so you can personalize it even more specifically now and I never get items I say I don’t want and definitely get mostly skin care now. There is always a palette in there too but If I don’t want it, I just give it to a friend who is always grateful to have it. I think it’s difficult to expect a subscription box to always include only items that you want but if all of the boxes I have been subscribed to, including boxycharm, Ipsy seems to be so much better at including new products that aren’t repeats and I always feel that they actually take my profile into account when putting it together. Hope this helps! I’m super excited about this box! Also, there have been items I wasn’t especially excited about but when I tried them I ended up loving them. I got a pixie mascara recently and was kind of bummed, but I gave it a try anyway and it is literally my new favorite mascara and it has two wands. Also, there have been times I have ended up hating products I was really pumped to try. It’s all part of the fun. Last thing- I really use their customer service if I feel like I have a complaint or wasn’t happy about something or if a product I added onto my box wasn’t included and they respond so fast and always make things right.

When I saw the loose pigments in the spoilers, I was like please nooooooooo. Naturally I’m getting them. I was so mad. Then I thought about it. Ipsy Plus has spoiled me. Really, I was upset about getting a super expensive eyeshadow when I paid only $25 and got so many other things I’ll love. Now that I think about it, the whole point is to try new things. I’m super excited that I’ll get to have this in my collection. Also I was able to add on the eyeshadow palette I wanted for more than half off. Ipsy is amazing!!!!!! I’m sorry I’ve been acting like such a spoiled brat.

I’m excited for July 😁 I made an order on ipsy shopper and it got cancelled due to the product being out of stock with the brand (Mac). It was processing for a while so I emailed ipsycare to ask what was going on. They told me it was out of stock and let me pick an item for my IGBP so I picked the Huda 3d highlighting palette in pink sands. Super happy about that. They got back to me within 24 hours of emailing too.
Also FYI there was a pic posted yesterday or the day before on purlisse’s Instagram of the new priming moisturizer. It’s a new release.
