I am so angry!!! I really liked the ipsy Tetris combo so I ordered two of the ipsy June bags. They sent me two exact same bags with the exact same items in both. Really???? You can’t take one second to make sure don’t send the same exact five items in one order?!?!
I wrote customer service and they said they would take one bag back and charge me a $5 restocking fee!!!! So I paid $12 and get $7 back and the joy of repacking and mailing it to them …oh and they said if they decide the items are OK then I will get a refund otherwise nothing. As sketchy as they are being I could see them saying well you opened the bag and looked at the items so suck it. I am so angry I am actually thinking of cancelling all five subscriptions I have with them. I’d rather give them nothing! I am fed up with their customer service. I pay for three bags for me and two for my niece and hers just started. every month she gets the invite to pick items, I never have. Every month I say I do not like eyeliner and I get another one.
I was excited by the new ultimate but today I’m just so over them!

Not worth the mark-up. (Wonder if they’ll be marking these mystery glam bags up by $2 for October, too?)

I am so tempted to get the GBP July mystery… July was actually my first GBP and I loved it, but think I got the newbie box with items that would be considered to be repeats for other long time subscribers. So maybe the mystery will be different and I could get my hands on one of those beautiful Huda highlight palettes. Hmmm…. might just need to stalk YouTube to see some reveals first. Idk

Anyone else see the headline and think it said “Julep Mystery Boxes” for a sec? Also, anyone hear anything about Julep? They are sending emails again…

Even if Julep came back they would not have a ton of people welcoming them back with open arms. They lost alot of customers forever with the shenanigans they pulled.

Ya, I keep getting emails from Julep for their steep discounts, but I’m way too scared to order from them due to their security breach a while back plus I hear their CS is non-existent if you have issues. That’s really too bad they went under so quickly after new ownership. I really love their polishes (fortunately, I have quite the collection from subbing to them), and I just noticed that the Julep salon that was in a neighboring city has been shut down too. Too bad.

It has seen to me that these are ones they have made up for new folks or people that cancelled that month

I ordered one of each and I got the bag yesterday. Everything in it was stuff I hadn’t gotten before! I can’t wait for the mystery GBP to get here!!

If you don’t mind me asking, what did you get? I have been curious about it and am on the fence! 🙂

I went back and checked, and this was the Tetris mystery bag that came. It had great stuff in it! A full sized Juice Beauty lippy, a blush (also Juice Beauty), a full sized lippy from Half Caked, travel size Neuma leave in conditioner, sample of Purlisse watermelon peel off mask, full size Jonteblu eyeliner, and a Tetris eyeshadow single. Seven items with four of them being full sized! I’m happy! I can’t wait to see what’s in the two I bought from July’s choices!
Also, I’ve gotten several Ipsy mystery bags and they have all been full of good stuff! I recommend them!! The mystery is half the fun!

I absolutely love IPSY, i got my Ipsy bag for 10 bucks and personally have reieved bags valued at well over a hundred. IDK why anyone would not take advantage, personally, or for profit. Plus makes wonderful gifts. I rarely shop for gifts anymore. Ipsy has me covered!

I wonder do they guarantee that you won’t get repeat products if you’re already a member?
Reply
Cindy
Lol no! Why would they guarantee that? This was how they get rid of old stock.

No. These assortments have been put together from leftovers.

The mystery bags and boxes make really nice gifts for those that dont have a subscription. Also, since I dont get the Glam Plus I will probably start treating myself to one occasionally. I personally think they are fun!

I actually purchased one for my moms birthday. She loved everything in the box! The big hit was Sunday Riley, the tetris pallet, and the 3 lipsticks! It was a hit!

Amy
wasn’t that the june box? That was my favorite box and I bought an extra one of it as well because I literally liked every item they sold and even at the mark up, that is still less than the guaranteed Sunday Riley or 111skin which I would love another month’s worth of.

So it’s old product, more expensive, and NOT personally tailored to you? Ooohhhh, where do I sign up??!

Exactly I got burned with April mystery bag and I am never getting another . They promised $70 value and sent others full size Ofra highlighter and Seraphine lip gloss. I got sample Doucce mascara, Hikari eyeshadow in boring honeydew shade, and that blue Apto mask nobody likes . It had maybe $40 value.

I hardly think July’s product in August is “old product.” Do you have any idea how long some products sit on store shelves?
Reply
Christy
Hi Emma. Let me clarify. I didn’t mean “old” in the sense that it might be expired. I meant “old” in the sense that it won’t be new and novel. The July Bag is already out and we’ve seen the products and many people have already received bags with those products, so the possibility for duplicates increases.

Ooohhh! Sign up for ipsy and get a more ooohhh! personalized bag!
