I never saw a single thing that said I could choose anything. I checked for days.

You need to contact IpsyCare as soon as possible to see what is going on with you not being able to pick a product this month. I know they are supposed to start personalization today for this month but they may be able to still let you pick your product this month.

I would love to see more spoilers before I decide and make sure we’re not getting all 3 bags that are the same size?

Reply ButtonReply

Sherri

No, there is 3 different sizes of the bag. There is no way 5 or 8 Full size products could fit in the regular bag plus the 4 deluxe size products for the Ultimate.

Hey, i was told that there is more spoilers posted on Facebook yesterday, i dont have Facebook, so if anybody happen to see any new spoilers, would you please reply to me and let me know what they was? I know the Ultimate bag had new spoilers but i dont know about the other two bags, i just have the regular $12.00 Glam bag.

I did not see a choice page. Does everyone get this option?

Download the Ipsy app and it will be right under the Glam Bag tab!! As of now, they have stated in their faq that the option to pick will start on the 24th of the month but that it is a first come, first serve kind of basis.

Hi V;
I’ve been a subscriber to Ipsy for 3 years now. The choice is a new thing. The first month they introduced the choices, I had skipped the box the month before and did not get the email required to get the link to the choices. That was the only time I didn’t, so I don’t know if it was an oversight or if you can’t choose an item if you skipped the month before.
You could email Ipsy customer service & they’ll probably give you the choices. I’ve found their customer service to be pretty good. Good Luck!

Thank you!

If I clicked that I didn’t want any of those items, do you think they’ll give me one of them anyway? 🙂 The colors are too warm for me, and I have way too many skin care samples and mascara samples. I almost got the mauve lipstick, but it looks warm. I would have chosen the red. I was mistakenly assuming they would let us choose one item from ALL the items or at least a color choice of the item (red vs mauve lip). Hopefully by clicking no thanks, they know I don’t want any of those items. A girl can dream! 😉

NOT choosing is telling them that you want THEM to pick for you- ALWAYS choose one! By not choosing will NOT count as saying you don’t want any of the items.

Reply ButtonReply

Alice

Exactly. Also, these are not all the items. They’re giving selection options fTom a small group of items for the month.

Julie

On the choice page you were able to choose something that said “no thanks” on each item or you mean you just chose the option that said something like “no thanks I don’t want to pick”? I’m guessing that only means they will choose one for you but you should definitely update everyone if all of your items end up being things not in the choice options! That would be good to know.

I’m excited for October’s bag and glam box that I’m getting. I am very fair skinned with dark hair and dark brown eyes so the eyeshadow pallet and mauve lipstick will look good. Thank you ipsy, colors I can actually pull off. ❤️

Julie

Just a guess, but since everyone is saying all 3 tiers will be getting the same Regular size BB bag in October, I bet the light pink bags they advertised with before will be the bags for November. Just a guess though.

I saw a video today that had the bags. Plus and ultimate are getting a larger black bag with Betty silhouette.

Reply ButtonReply

Jamie

Who has said that? Ipsy said that plus and ultimate are getting the same bag as each other this month, but I didn’t see where it will also be the same small bag from regular.

Katie

My choices were different and I was able to choose the Dr. Brandt Microdermabrasion! So excited!

Lilpurplebug

Me too, because we were choosing for Glam Bag Plus not the classic bag.

Marion

I got the It CC cream in Fair.

I think Ipsy did a good job with the types of product offered this month — I see people saying they picked a lot of different things (contrasted with the comments on the Ultimate Glam Bag post, where most people picked the same thing).

Denise Mills

I was rather underwhelmed by the choices for Ultimate. They were pretty much leftovers from what I’ve already received in the past in IGBP. I’ll hold my final judgement until I receive the box.

I was pleased with the choices, I picked the Belief Aqua Bomb for my regular bag and the Betty Boop Eyeshadow palette for my plus. I was less impressed with the choices for the plus.

Well, I am not new to subscription boxes, but I am relatively new to Ipsy. I just upgraded to annual and locked in $120 price. I did it because now I enjoy a bit more makeup as I am learning how to use them, lol, and I miss the option of picking one item from when I had Birchbox (left when they took away the point system). Birchbox only offers 3 items to pick from, so so far I am happy with Ipsy’s 10 choices. I also appreciate the skip feature and longer time to review the items. I think BB bag is cute and I picked double-ended brush. I have separate makeup items for travel bags to minimize space/weight, so it will be great. I am not sure if all subscribers get one BB item in each bag. Hope to receive the mauve lipstick, but let’s see!

KAy sub boxes are great way to learn makeup and about skin care , I learned a lot over the years and reading , watching, and other opinions on here and videos – I hope you enjoy your new founder beauty boxes and future into make up and skin care ✌️

Kay

Hi Dot! I am new to Ipsy, but I have subbed other beauty boxes for a few years (read, product overload in small NYC apartment, lol). I am more into skincare because I believe in investing in skin. But now I enjoy more makeup and it is fun! I don’t use any bright/crazy colors, so my makeup is boring, but I feel that I can still play around and have fun with new products. What are the products that you thought you never use or need, but use regularly now? For me for makeup, I never thought I would use primer, bronzer or highlighter, but I like them! For skincare/hair care, I discovered micellar water, essence, face masks of all kinds, hair masks and anti-frizz products. I never have to go skincare/makeup shopping for a long while. I also got creative by using facial scrub that is a little harsh for my face for body, face products that are a little too rich for my combination skin on my neck/hands, etc. I also started gifting items to my family, friends and teachers and they love it. Then donate some to Project Beauty Share.

Alice

I like your logic! I’m going to lock in the annual price as well and just cancelled Birchbox.

Kay

Hi Alice! I also realized that Ipsy doesn’t charge my annual until 10/1 (I think same for monthly). I just think it is a best beauty bag for $10 price range in the market. Enjoy!

I was half asleep and selected the It CC which is awesome but the light is too dark for me. I wear the fair shade – I have very pale skin.

I should have chosen the facial radiance pads.

I want the red lipstick because for some reason I look better in red lipstick it is’t too dark. I look awful in nudes because my lips are darker than most people with my skin tone and I look dead. I have had a lot of makeup artists see me in nude versus red and they say the same thing.

And I joined Ultimate but can’t choose what I want. Darn it!

I’m signed up for all three Ipsy bags, but I definitely thought the regular Ipsy bag had the most interesting choices. Wish I could have picked several but maybe some will be offered as add ons. I went with the serum as it sounded interesting. I hope I get the mauve lipstick in my bag. I wouldn’t mind getting the IT foundation, but I already have the full size so I decided to pick something new.

Reply ButtonReply

Valerie

The regular IPSY has much more items overall that you could get, the pool is much larger that is why it has more “interesting” choices.

I chose the FAB radiance pads. I’ve been wanting to try more FAB since I love their coconut smoothie priming moisturizer. I kind of wanted the mauve BP lipstick. Hope I get it anyway

Reply ButtonReply

Alice

I’m really loving the FAB lotion I received in Beautyfix.

I chose the It CC Cream! I use to get it all of the time and I was going to buy one. I’m happy with that! I just hope I don’t get a red lipstick.

Me too 🙂

I went for the crown duo brush. I know, I know…I’m a total brush collector *coughhoardercough* but I was fine/happy with the selection. For ten products there was a pretty wide variety of items. At this point? I know people are going to complain either way. But me? I’m pleased 😄

Alice

I thought that the variety was excellent. Very pleased.

smashy

pretty disappointed with this especially since it is now $2 more!
nothing in the bag scream out as great !

by the way, does anybody know if companies give these samples away free to ipsy? a lot of this stuff is like gwp sizing which makes me wonder

Reply ButtonReply

Luna

Not only does Ipsy get some (or all?) of the featured products for free, but they even charge companies a fee to let them be featured in Ipsy bags or as Ipsy Offers, etc. due to the exposure they’ll receive. The fee is part of those companies marketing expense.

I skipped my glam bag to avoid the boopening. This is the first month I’ve ever skipped, so what is the date that I can restart my sub in order to avoid October’s bag completely but still get November’s bag and choice?

Reply ButtonReply

Jennifer R

I’ve used the skip option once (I think it was that month they had that ‘lemon’ bag). I didn’t have to do anything. I just automatically got the next month’s bag. Nothing to worry about 🙂

Reply ButtonReply

Dot

When you pause if you look underneath where you paused the bag it will say automatically renews I’m November- hope that helps – do love skip option on Ipsy ( wish all subs would follow suit 🙂

Reply ButtonReply

Drminniecooper

Thank you! I looked there, but it just says paused-october. I’ll keep checking and maybe email ipsy in mid October.

Paula

This is just the cutest bag ever!

GBP & GBU also get bags starting this month too, right?

Reply ButtonReply

Luna

Yes, they’ll be getting the exact same Betty Boop bag that GB is getting. It won’t be until November when they start the size variations.

whitney harley

I got an email from Ipsy 2 days ago saying the $12 bag will be different than plus and Ultimate, but unfortunately this month, it will be the same bag. They’re giving me a Trestique mascara as a bonus since the bag styles this month will be same for plus and Ultimate. So the first level tier gets it’s own style, not the same as the others.

Merve Karakaya

I really wanted to pick IT Cosmetics cc cream but i looked and it was only 4ml. So tiny. Wish it was 10ml. So i went with Murad cleanser🙂

MsLorenX

I will pick any Murad anytime it is offered!

This is the one and only month I’m getting all 3 ipsy subs. It’s my birthday in October & I’m treating myself, but it’s not sustainable for me & product overload would become an issue, fast.
That being said, I hope it’s fun to see how the bags compare & try the launch of the ultimate bag. I could see myself getting the ultimate box a few times a year if it really is all that.
What I think we’d all like is some more spoilers with some hero items we can really get excited about, right people?? ☺
I chose the mauve lipstick, blush palette, and Farmacy.

I chose BB lipstick everyone is getting a Boop product and I like mauve lipstick I can’t say same about red lipstick,glasses,brush, or mascara.

Talking about mauve the other lipstick in choice is described as a mauve pink not brown like it looks in picture.

Serums are usually pricey, that would be my personal choice because I like and use serums 🙂

Agreed! I chose the serum too. And it looks like a very interesting one.

That’s what I chose – love serums
