I as well am a bit frustrated with the shipping time. It seems as if my glambag sits in Orlando for days. Then considering shipping costs vs what I pay for the bag, hmm..pretty good deal to me. They would have to raise the prices substantially to get them to us quicker, just like at the post office. If you want it faster, they charge you more. So I try to just not think about it and let it be a surprise, and HOPE nothing melts, explodes or otherwise gets ruined in this heat.

I’m guessing Ipsy did away with their Improve Glam Bag quiz for their new feature. I got an email today allowing me to select 1 product for my upcoming Glam Bag. After I selected my product I was also offered special deals on samples and full sized bundles.

I decided I needed update my profile and then I thought I would take the improve your Glambag quiz and it’s not even there anymore. Anybody else have it?

The beauty quiz that they are offering is just a different set up with basically the same questions. All you have to do is go to your profile and update your answers.

It is not same at all improve glam bag showed you spoilers for following month and you could say yes I want that or no not interested. New beauty profile just let’s you say how often you want products in general.
Like I said I wanted the I Dew Care peel off mask in March survey they didn’t include it that month but survey said in future bag and I did get it this month same with Delectable citrus product also March but I got body wash instead of lotion this month.

Anyone else think about the cost of the bag with the add ons? I was just thinking about how the Plus is 5 full size for $25 but I’ve been spending $21 for samples. And up to $38 for samples and 1-2 full sizes .. I’m questioning my decisions here..

Where did the survey go?? I was trying to find “Improve Glam Bag Products”, and it has disappeared!

I will only miss seeing spoilers they rarely sent me anything I said I wanted . Its like they were saying oh she wants this let’s leave it out of bag and maybe she will add them.

I know- I thought it was me because I was upset I was getting the wrong products every month-THEY AREN’T LISTENING TO ME. But it’s really gone! They now have a new CEO. I wonder what other changes she’s gonna make…

Last night the app was down for maintenance. Today, no more survey. I noticed that the “review” tab now says “personalize me”. I’m going to miss seeing the possible items in the survey.

I noticed that, too, earlier in the month and have been waiting for it to become active (figured maybe it would be towards the end of the month). Bring it back, Ipsy, pleeeease!

I always say I’ll skip , but then I get such a neat bag full of surprises i wouldn’t for myself so I’m game for $10.00 !! I found such great products in those little bags I ended up ordering the full size , I love Xmas every month with all my subs 😁 guess I look at it like a great gift to myself ! If I don’t like it it’s gifted no loss here 👏

I’m excited for this box, I’m new to Ipsy and this will be my third glam bag. My June bag was perfect for me and I got three add ons. I could not believe how big the Sunday Riley moisturizer I added on was! I’d be happy with just about anything from here in my bag. I also get the Allure Beauty Box and I just signed up for Birchbox too. Ipsy is my forever favorite though because of how personalized the products are. I actually get the right colors for me in cosmetics and the right hair products for my frizzy curly hair. Not to mention how obsessed I am with the add ons!

Does anyone know if they’re still doing those improve my bag surveys?
Reply

No it looks like they got rid of the survey toward the end of last month. I was so upset because they were sending me really awful bags all of the sudden, so I decided to revise my preferences & do a survey but when I got to the survey part there were no items shown & it’s still like that today.
In another comment above, someone mentioned ipsy got a new CEO, so I hope she’s gonna make some positive changes to personalization, their “customer service” & expediting the current shipping issue for ipsters who buy add ons. {fingers crossed!}

All you have to do is update your beauty preferences, all they did was change the format of what your prefer and don’t like.

I haven’t gotten one but I e gotten one from boxy , allure , and FFF- hope if we all do it , it helps with more personalization and things we want 😍

I hope I get the Pacifica, I got a blusg duo from them before in a past ipsy bag and LOVE it!!! I really dont want the oil only because I have gotten so many in recent boxes that it will take me forever to use them all, lol over all it is looking like a great bag! Cant wait to see the add on’s ❤
Reply
Sherri
I also agree!, I always get the lightest lipstick they offer for the month and always either a boring or crazy color eyeshadow or blush that I can’t even give away! More colors and variety please! I do want to try the benefit cosmetics roller mascara. Everything else looks good except the coffee scrub!

So far, I’m only interested in the two brushes. I’m a skincare fan, but I’m not interested in the coffee scrub or the face oil. Might be a good month for some new makeup. The blush duo is tempting.

I went ahead and skipped this month. I ALWAYS get The Balm products, which I just do not care for. Am I the only one who feels this way? They must be popular since I see theme everywhere.
Reply
Patricia Richardson
I love The Balm. I haven’t gotten my Glam Bag yet. I always get brushes which I have told them to STOP with already.
Reply
Sherri
I know how you feel! I was getting the same style of brushes just different brands every month in my bag. You can email them and ask them to opt you out of brushes, that is what I did, if they tell you they can’t then just email them again until somebody opts you out of brushes. Everybody is supposed to be able to opt out of 2 products, you just have to request it by email.

They are really great in dry climates. I live in a mountainous/high desert area and I balm AND moisturize or I turn into a corn husk doll. But if you live in an area of normal level of hydration I think they would be just HEAVY.
Reply
Melissa
Ok, I’m confused by Ashley’s response, but to respond to JackieCupcake (good to see an old forum friend! 🙂 ) I’m not a big fan of “The Balm” brand either, but I, like you, assume that they must be popular with some demographic. That being said, I wouldn’t mind getting this eyeshadow, even though I would never use it, just for the adorable little teacup design (I don’t drink tea, either. Hmmm, why do I want this product?!?). ~MelissaB

Omgosh same! I use ipsy to try out new colors and everything i get is the shades i normaly would buy. All they are all the same shade!

I have a question for everyone….Has anyone ever had there GBP or anything from Ipsy shipped, but over week go by and DHL doesn’t even scan it as being received? My GBP was shipped last Thursday at 1:32 A.M. so today is the 8th day and the only thing my tracking says is my electronic info has been received. I contacted Ipsy and was told I have to wait the 10 business days after it shipped which won’t be until next Thursday and they will most likely be OOS of the SR CEO cream which is what I was looking forward to the most this month. If anyone can alleviate or substantiate my worries lol please do. 🤷

Mine are always MIA the last week too!, Last month it finally showed delivered but I did not receive it, they had to send me another one and the add-ons that I purchased, but unfortunately they were out of one of the add-ons that I wanted and reimbursed Me! I was really disappointed because I really wanted to try the Pixi facial pads. Hopefully I will get my box and everything that I am supposed to get this month. I am supposed to be getting my bag Monday but who knows? I don’t know where it is even at right now! 😂
Sherri
I know, there shipping is awful!, I don’t get my bag until the end of the month, every month! Every body needs to complain(email Ipsy). Maybe if enough people complain about it they will do some changes on there shipping. What is funny though is when I emailed them they told me that it can be anywhere from 5 to 10 days not including weekends. Ok, DHL and USPS both run on the weekend so I don’t know how they can say that. I have gotten my bag on Saturday but supposedly that day is not supposed to count. I have heard all kinds of excuses!

It happens to me all the time. I don’t get my gbp or gb for 10-15 days after it shipped. The same usually happens to me with Boxy. But for some reason I got mine early this month. Maybe because it was a boxyluxe month. Idk?
Reply
Sherri
It happens to me every month! Mine showed shipped last Tuesday but just got to the place that Ipsy uses for shipping today. There shipping is awful! I don’t get mine until the end of the month, every month!

Happens a lot with Boxycharm too. I agree with the above statement about printing/generating labels way before the box is assembled and ready to be picked up.
Reply
Twyla
Yes, it does happen, fairly frequently in my experience. It appears they print the shipping labels, but that doesn’t mean the box has left their warehouse. At times it can take a week or more before the boxes are picked up by DHL. Perhaps they do it in batches, and that is the holdup?
Good luck, i hope they get your box to DHL soon!!
Reply
Jill M
Thank you so much! I feel much better now. I’ve just never experienced this with them before, and the other account in my house was supposedly shipped the exact same time and it arrived Monday, so I was just a little bit confused

I want the eyeshadow however after looking at the palette I wish they would have sent us a lighter shade for July. Not sure why Ipsy is sending such a warm shade for the summer.

Think I’m going to skip this month. The only spoiler I’m interested in is the Eyeko – and knowing my luck, if I tried to game my profile for mascara, I’d get the Roller Lash instead. (I got the Luxie brush as an add-on in January, otherwise I’d be into it.)
Reply
Charlotte
My name is Charlotte, too! That’s unusual for me to see my name! Is that the same for you? Bye-The-Way, I got the brush & I love it! I would like to try the Eyeko waterproof mascara, as well!

Wouldn’t it be funny if there was just one Charlotte and she was just replying to herself? lol! Nice to see you found someone with the same name. There are too many Melissas on here.
I can only think of two Charlottes I know in real life.
Jill M
I got that Luxie Protools brush as an add on when GBP started, and it’s become one of my favorite brushes!! I only get GBP, but look at these spoilers in hopes of them being add ons, and if they have that brush I will definitely be picking up another one! It was a $3 add on too 😊

I like the bag and I’d be down for the Balm shadow, but the rest of these spoilers are not making me have ANY second thoughts about the two accounts I just paused.

Ooh, hope they do the Ice Tea palette, too. I’d especially like to see a sample of the shades The 411 or He Said, She Said.

Aren’t the Tea palettes just gorgeous?
