I got the worst August box if I must say so myself : and honestly I never complain , but out of all the great option and according to my profile which they completely ignored I got :

NYX blush Palette (was that even an option? No offense NYX is cheap brand and I expected more for my GBP)
The Balm Cosmetics ( I’ll give it a try)
Suva Illuminating Drops ( have too many of these type of products)
IT Cosmetics – I’m Ok with this
Purlisse – I’m ok with this too

So I only like 2 out of the 5 ( such a disappointing month August was for me , fingers crossed September is better )

I got the silver FARAH brushes from last month or the month before, which is such a bummer. Why not the new ones? I’m pretty happy to get The Balm palette though…at first I wasn’t into it, but after looking into it more I think it will be really useful. I got:

-The Balm palette
-the It foundation
-the Suva drops
-those old FARAH brushes
-the Hey Honey peel off mask

I added on the new brushes, the pixi balm, and the superfood cleanser. Over all I’m happy with the bag, but I’d have really loved to get the Murad cleanser and the brushes. I didn’t get my July box until close to the end of the month, so hopefully this month shipping goes smoother.

Literally, the only useful item for me is the nail polish. And I only polish once per month. So, skipped again.

Debby

I’m getting everything I dont want –
– The balm palette
– NYX – blush palette – (I’m super dissatisfied to see drugstore products in a $25 bag
– the foundation which I already have and quite frankly don’t like or use
– Suva Drops
– Ahava – which already received 2 in the past from another box and not a great product.
(I might use the Suva drops and that’s it). So tired of getting these boring chintzy eyeshadow palettes. Enough already Ipsy.
Also the add ons were slack repeats from past boxes

I’m in total agreement with you !!

why in the world was my gbp set to skip for AUGUST when I didnt do it? what is wrong with this company? Ho can my account magically be changed ot skip a month when I didnt do that?

Shay

I’m getting the Murad cleanser, The Balm palette, Hey Honey mask, brushes, and the Smith & Cult polish (Pillow Pie). More than likely I’ll put the palette up for swap, but I like the other items.

I’m getting the murad, suva drops, darker pink Smith & cult, the balm palette, and It not a foundation 💯

Just logged into Ipsy and it says I chose not to receive my GBP. I never did that?? WTH is going on with this company. WHy would I wake up to shop add ons. How does this get corrected and wth did this happen?

Valerie

The Balm palette colors would be perfect on me so that means I won’t be getting that one…hahahaha!

Ipsy finally responded to my customization window email about how they turned it off before 24 hours. They offered me a choice of three products that are awful and I have all marked as rarely on my profile so I told them I didn’t want any of those things. Eyeko eye liner and a dark red lipstick and a peel off mask I’ve never heard of for oily skin.

Is there supposed to be a Round 4?

Marie

I’m hoping to get the brushes, foundation, mascara and murad cleanser. I’ll probably get a huda palette since I skipped both months they were sent. I wouldn’t mind the highlighter or mauve one.

Reply ButtonReply

Pink5

I got the highlighter in the July box. It’s a very nice-looking item and if you like highlighters, you will be thrilled.

If not, it would probably make a nice gift for the right person.

Michelle

Ipsy was great until they started the Glam bag plus. They’ve gone downhill since then. Ipsy please stop the plus and just stick to the 10.00 glam bag. I know you’re trying to compete with Boxy Luxe but you were so much better before the plus came out.

Reply ButtonReply

Michelle

Sorry yes I meant the customer service not the actual products.

Reply ButtonReply

Dia

I think perhaps Michelle meant while the quality and value of IGBP are amazing, there have been endless problems with the Ipsy app, website, shipping, customer service, etc since they started IGBP and the $3/$12 add-on program. Perhaps they expanded their business too rapidly, and cannot handle the volume. Whatever the reason, it’s been frustrating for many of their long time customers.

I’m still waiting for July to ship… It doesn’t matter what they promise if they don’t deliver. I can’t be happy with it until I have it.

Monica

July seems to have been the worst month so far in regards to shipping and add on issues. Hopefully this is something that is being addressed in house.

Jessica

I agree with Monica, I am beyond happy with both my ipsy’s and especially plus.

Reply ButtonReply

Monica

Michelle speak for yourself. Some of us are still happy with our bags. Some months are better than others but overall I’m happy with both glam bags. August looks like a great month to me.

I am actually pretty excited for this box I see a lot of people aren’t but I really am. As long as I get the things I want 🙂

I really hope that foundation will be available as an add-on!

Hoping for the Balm palette and Purlisse Blue Lotus moisturizer. I’ve sampled it before and it’s very nice.

I got a Huda palette last month and a Laura Sanchez earlier this year. Tarte would be okay, but I like the Balm palette as shown.

Is the Goldfaden Doctor’s Scrub the 1.7oz or 3.4oz?

I got the Goldfaden scrub in my July box and it is the 1.7oz.

Thank you!

The box says 3.5 oz, but I guess we’ll see.

Has anyone heard of any more spoilers? I need to decide to pause or not.

Kayla K.

That’s what I’d like to know.

I received the email and selected an item for the August GBP. This was reflected in my account. My account page reverted to shipping, but I assumed it was because my July box reshipped yesterday (the first one never moved for 3 weeks). I like the selection I made so I hope I still get that. Mostly, I want my July box!

Reply ButtonReply

Cheryl

This really sucks. I love everything in this box, psrticularly the Farrah brushes, and I paused for August!

Nicole

Well that’s simple, just go into your account and unpause it.😉

Ipsy cancelled all my shopper orders with no explanation… after repeatedly pressing their customer service, they stated that ‘you order was deemed fraudulent per our internal checks at ipsy.’ And literally all I did was updating my billing address after moving to a new apartment. I mean, why bother joining if they are just not going to send you anything and CALLING YOU FRAUD right in your face? They also canceled my account and invited me to rejoin in the same email, hehe, so funny. I love the product selection but I am done dealing with this crap. For all the tempting friends, proceed with caution.

Reply ButtonReply

Michelle

They cancelled both my glam bag and glam bag plus saying I requested the cancellation but I didn’t. I’m done with the incompetence. I just deleted my card info and will let it stay cancelled. I have been a subscriber for years and they’re customer service was always amazing til recently.

Reply ButtonReply

Michelle

Ipsy cancelled both my glam bag and glam bag plus for no reason. I sent an email asking a simple question about my account and the reply was “as requested we have cancelled your glam bag and glam bag plus subscriptions” I replied that I didn’t ask them to do that or even anything close to that. They sent me a reply that had nothing to do with what I said. I threw my hands up and said whatever. Deleted my card info and let it stay cancelled. I have been with Ipsy for years. They really went downhill when they started glam bag plus.

I swear, this is EXACTLY what I’ve been saying, but then all these girls in fb groups I’m in seem to have had such “great” experiences with ipsy CS, when mine was the worst thing I’ve ever been through as far as CS issues go!

I was with them for about 4+ years without a SINGLE issue. But once they started with the Glam bag pluses , PLUS the add ons, it’s been non-stop problems, like several missing items I order from add ons (I have a couple accts) that I’ve paid to get, and never do!

They even KEPT LYING ABOUT ISSUING ME A $40 REFUND ALL THE WAY BACK FROM JANUARY for GB+ and add ons I paid for & NEVER RECEIVED (& I wanted it all soooo damn bad!😞🤔🙍🏻‍♀️), literally took me about 15-20 DETAILED & LEGNTHY emails & I still got NOWHERE with them, EXCEPT LIES!
They told me to call my bank & have them “locate the refund” ummmm WTF? Never heard of such a thing, it’s either it’s there, or it’s not & IT NEVER WAS. MY BANK EVEN CONFIRMED THERE WAS NO $40 (or ANY) REFUND FROM THEM!!!
I even comment on their lives and other places and it’s always just “email us and we’ll get your issue resolved”

rina

I am sorry that happened to you : (. Pls do not be offended, but I was with Boxy for a long time, then when they added BoxyLuxe I noticed my regular bag contents to be repeats, expired?, and just stuff from old stock. So, in sum, I think Ipsy Plus is headed that way sadly. IDK….. I am 52 with dry skin, all I get is moisturizer that is for combo or sensitive.Ugh am so tired of GLITTER. What do you all think or can you advise a sub box for a 52 young girl?

Dia

Hmm.. sounds like perhaps ipsy got hacked on their end.

Amanda

I made no changes and my orders were also cancelled for fraudulent activity!

I have emailed and they just refuse to answer me. Fb messages have been useless.

Customer service sucks!

Tarte high dream eyeshadow palette, Suva Beauty chime drops liquid, thrive mascara, IT cosmetic bye bye foundation, Purlisse bue lotus daily moisturizer, Farah brush set

Amy French

I had the same situation. I literally had to post on their instagram for them to even respond to me. They used to have great CS, what happened?

Leslie J

Astrid OMG this is the same exact thing that has happened to me and I have written them over and over and asked why it is deemed fraudulent and they will give me no explanation and just keep saying your account is deemed fraudulent thanks for understanding. It pisses me off so badly. I can pay for ipsy and GBP all day long pay for add ins etc but I can not use shopper and have not been able too in about 5 months or so. I feel that they don’t even read my emails about and that’s why they won’t answer me straight fwdly. It use to make my blood boil but I finally just gave up.

Reply ButtonReply

Lala

Wow! I thought it was only happening to me. Everytime I order from shopper, a few mins later I get the email saying it was cancelled. And just like you the reason was fraudulent activity on my accounts but with no resolution or way to fix it. I have two separate accounts and it was happening to both. I’ve missed out on some good deals.

Astrid

Totally feel you here Leslie! It seems like the shopper team doesn’t talk to anyone else at Ipsy and there’s no solution once they marked the account as fraudulent… The first time I emailed them the rep said that she would talk to the shopper team but never gotten back to me. Then I wrote some more aggressive emails & got almost instant responses, but no solution offered even after pressing them for one. I was really pissed and requested deletion of all my personal information with them which they promised they did, but they sent me an invitation to reactivate literally the day after with my account information AND MY PAYMENT spelled out in the email. They straight up were lying to customers here with no shame and I now regret that I had ever signed up with them – now they have all my information and won’t give up.

erika

Poor Ipsy…..They are having SOOOO many issues with their website and app! I received my package weeks ago. I was invited to select an item (but could not decide right away) and waited a few hours…and then the opportunity was gone! Actually, at first it said that i was getting my item, but when I refreshed the page…I had NO item.

Then the app was not able (?) to show the proper image on my tablet’s screen (their image was too big). I did have the “customize” heading at the top.

Now, it has regressed back to “shipping”….and the “customize” has been removed.

So when I originally got the customize email, it said that FOR NOW ON I would be able to choose an item, but I am not too confident about that now. I guess we will have to see what happens next.

Too bad, I am still ‘on the fence’ about keeping this box or skipping. Being able to pick an item would have definitely made the choice easier. I don’t need any of the items, but it is fun to receive a box, right?

Anyway, I do think that Ipsy is trying to make the experience better, but it can be frustrating. Let’s just hope for the best! Maybe we will all get to pick in a few months (after they work out the bugs).

Ipsy messed on my July box and sent me the Goldfaden MD Doctor’s Scrub. Which I shouldn’t have gotten yet. They sent it and my regular 5 items in July.

Jessica White Bennett

Did they send u a repeat item in your July box? I got the drs scrub also but it was because they accidentally sent me an item I got a few months ago so they sent the scrub to make up for it

Serenity

Did they send you a repeat item ? That’s what happend to me and they sent the face scrub as a extra for the item I got 2 times.

Kenley

What size was it? The 1.7oz or 3.4oz.

They sent the scrub to those that got the LXMI in a previous box to make up for sending a repeat.

Oh now I understand. I did get a repeat of the LXMI. I did not mind since I love it!

Thanks for the explanation! 🙂

I got that scrub too. I had no idea of why they sent it to me.

How did you like the scrub? Is it a face scrub or body scrub? I got an eye cream by the same brand and I liked using it to moisturize my undereyes, but I didn’t notice it brightening my undereyes. To be honest though, I don’t know that any under eye cream that claims to brighten has ever actually brightened my under eyes. Unless it has pink or lavender hue to it. So, curious about the scrub.

What’s it like?

It says that a Huda palette will be possible in next months as well, does anyone know which Huda palette it could be? Will it be the same eyeshadow one from last month that some got in their box??

Reply ButtonReply

Katie

I got a Huda palette in my box for July and it was a Huda Highlighting palette which is super nice. I had already gotten the mini mauve Huda palette so I’m pretty sure that’s why o got the highlighting palette, so if you’ve gotten the shadow palette I bet you’ll get the highlight palette too. I didn’t realize there is a cream highlight in the palette too, and it’s gorgeous. I’ll keep my fingers crossed that’s what you get! If you would like that, that is. 😊

Probably the same Smokey , mauve Obsessions or the highlighter palette. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Did anyone that got to pick a Glam Bag Plus product check the app today? Mine did say that they had my product choice and now it looks like it did before I picked. It just shows the reviews part and then stay tuned. Doesn’t mention that I picked an item at all. Is anyone else’s app doing the same after picking an item?

Greta Ingle

I got to pick my item for the reg ipsy bag today, and received a email that I got my item in my August bag.

Charlotte

Same. I got a pop-up inviting me to choose an item for the regular glambag for August when I logged into the site. I never saw the “Customize”/”Personalize” tab some people are talking about, nor does it say anything about my product choice anywhere on the site. Nevertheless, I DID get an email confirming my choice. I would say if you got an email, not to worry, regardless of what it says on the site or app.

Amy L

Now it’s changed again and I have the personalize me button. After I picked my product it said that they had my product choice for August. Has anyone else had their app change that got to pick a product?

Reply ButtonReply

Mary

Yes, I just checked mine and my choice for the regular Glam Bag is gone 🙁 I had picked the Sunday Riley moisturizer.

The customization has disappeared from the timeline of both my Glam Bag and Glam Bag Plus 🙁

Michelle

I finally cancelled after being with Ipsy for years though not by choice. I asked a simple question about my account and the reply was “as requested your subscription to Ipsy and Ipsy Plus was cancelled ” like seriously! I replied that I didn’t ask them to do that or ask anything close to that and got another random answer that had nothing to do with anything. I just deleted my card and let it stay cancelled. Ipsy used to be great but since rolling out Ipsy Plus the customer service has gone down horribly.
