I got my tracking for my Glam Bag and the tracking is from Fedx, not DHL. There’s also not a delay as usual.

Hey does anyone know if it will be like last year and for December we get 6 products in the bag?

I just saw what’s in my Glambag and it’s 5 items not 6 like last year. It is a bit disappointing. All things considered, Ipsy really should be sending their loyal subscribers something for sticking around.
Last night I saw a preview for add ons and I got SO excited for a Cake Beauty Cream but it’s not available for me?! WTH Ipsy?! I have never gotten one in my Glambag, but I have redeemed points for it. I think that’s crap that not every add on is available for everybody. 🙄 I did do 3 add ons but they are my daughters pics. I’m not sorry I picked a product but that means I’m getting blush for the 4th month in a row. At least this shade might work for me.

I agree with you I have emailed them and asked for Sunday Riley ,Murad and Dr Brant in my boxes and nothing. Everyone else gets these products except me. I had to buy them separately it’s not fair and sometimes they don’t even offer them.

I feel like I’m so super dumb right now! But are all of these products all of the December sneak peaks?

Hey Charlotte! What you see are some of the products for December, but not the full list of products that might be available.

GB stands for GlamBag. GBP- GlamBag Plus. GBU- GlamBag Ultimate.

Oops! Forget about my last comment about are these the only spoilers!! Haha! I didn’t read that there are more!!

These are decent spoilers! I’m really ok with it for $12 and trying to be a little more Zen about my boxes. I get all the bmw’ing about Plus and Ult. – you definitely want to get products you want to use but with Regular and sample sizes, it’s fun to just sample everything as long as you will use most of it, like not orange nail polish or something totally off.
I hope this is OK to post. I was turned on to Neon&Co Treatment Oil by ipsy and love their products. I have been ignoring most Black Friday sales but randomly clicked through one email this morning for $1.99 clearance items on their site. They have a few full size and travel size products (30-50ml) for $1.99 PLUS 70% off!! So they come out to be 60 cents. Shipping is around $6. Unfortunately, the travel kit and treatment oil is sold out. I got:
Pore Refining Jojoba Sugar Scrub 50ml (full size) (RV: $32) – best deal! I love this scrub and I bought 10!
Red Clay Face Mask 50gm (full size) (RV: $32) – good deal!
Body Polish – Exfoliator 50ml – (RV: $15) – this is an OK deal, but it’s body scrub and it’s such a small amount
Jojoba Body Oil 30 ml – (RV: $12) – this might be the weakest deal
Hair Shot Ampoule – (RV: $10) – On sale for 99 cents, 70% off makes it 30 cents. They drop this at 99 cents regularly.

yeah I might skip this 1. October and November were great but this is…just okay.

Hmmm, I’m not feeling this at all. I skipped November because there was nothing that I needed or wanted.
I’m so over highlighters too, and ok- I understand the red lipstick in December, but too much already.
Ipsy has turned into a disappointment after what started out as an awesome sub.
Oh well, I’ll be saving some cash…

Allure had a great november box,and full sizes. I had ipsy a few months and I am over them. My add ons are better ,and that’s wrong. I may keep just for add ons. This month was so tiny.

miniso911
agree it’s worth it to have glam bag for the add ons!! it’s really all i need.
Jen
My Ipsy bags used to be so on point until they updated their system and started doing add ons. After that my bags were stuff that I’d never use and not to my profile or years of reviews, so I would use all 3 of my add on’s each month to make up for it. Eventually, sounds crazy but, I felt like they were intentionally screwing with my bag to get me to buy more stuff LOL #gotmytinhaton

I’m not feeling any of these December boxes. J just cancelled my Boxycharm. I might skipped this one.
Reply

I joined BoxyCharm in January and was OBSESSED and got Luxe in June and September. I was not into the November box or any of the Luxe spoilers, my October box was my least favorite that I had received so far. I cancelled too and was surprised that I ever wanted to because at one point I thought it was the best thing ever. I don’t mind bad Ipsy months because it is so inexpensive and I can gift them or use as stocking stuffers. I used to have Plus and I only liked one of the months so I cancelled that too. These subscriptions can be so inconsistent!

I really love the makeup colors this month-though not sure of the Party Dress color by Tarte. Often the ipsy blushes are too warm for me. Has anyone seen that color? I can’t find reviews on the specific shade. The lipstick and shadow are gorgeous. The brush looks pretty, but I don’t need any more highlight brushes. I don’t usually get excited about face cream or BB creams, but love Purlisse, and the coffee scrub probably smells great, and at least it isn’t in a pouch. So this is new to be excited about almost everything listed. Let’s see what the choices are! I haven’t wanted any of the choices the past 2 months. If the red lip is offered, I would love that!

I paused and don’t feel like getting this bag. I’ll see what MSA shows as the choice items, and if I really, really, really want one of them, I’ll reactivate. Otherwise, no.

I got rid of my Ipsy Plus and nay second Ipsy bag – I feel like they are completely selling out. They used to be awesome – even sending out special gifts on our birthday. I even got a beautiful eye palette with 500 points – now you can barely get anything for 500 pts! They have gotten greedy. And their bags are boring now – I mean, this bag is boring – it could have b been so cute with a little something extra for the zipper pull, like they used to do. Ipsy was my first subscription love, but I feel like that love is fading….fast.

What??? I have been with Ipsy since 2014, and I’ve never gotten a birthday gift. Please share! Did they surprise you or email to let you know? I never get their emails…so wonder if that is why I missed out. I’ve always done an annual sub too. But that is neat you got gifts!

I thought it was usually the 23rd- does it change every month??

Those are probably all going to be choice items and this is first month I will choose surprise me because I don’t like any of those . The BB would be ok if it was’nt like 7 ml which is so teeny I will forget about it. However if I choose it I can give it good reviews and receive more BB creams hmmmm.

Ipsy used to be one of my favorite subscription boxes. It introduced me to products I’ve never heard of before or couldn’t have afforded. It was always something I looked forward to. Unfortunately, I don’t know if it’s because they’ve gained so many more subscribers or what the case is but it’s been a subscription box that has really been letting me down for the past couple months. It’s disappointing and I’m almost embarrassed FOR Ipsy for the crap they are what seems like just throwing together now. I am skipping this month and it’s sad because most subscription boxes end the year with a spectacular box! (Sorry for the novel I just wrote but I had to vent, I’ve been holding it in a while now and I guess this post was the straw that broke the camels back) 🤷♀️😔

I feel you… I have noticed over the years that I will get about every 3rd or 4th bag, sometimes a couple in a row that are just off for me. When Ipsy has good customer service, I asked politely if it’s just me or what’s the deal. Ipsys response was nice and polite but pointed out that Ipsy is a subscription that does try to introduce their subscribers to new things. They do try their best to match profiles with the products they have for that month. That being said, per ipsys original design, they do or did intentionally send somewhat off bags to introduce us to new products and or brands. Makes sense to me but ever since they got a new algorithm, it’s been more off. It’s more than a little obvious that their October launch fail has hit them. I went to do my reviews and I have to get past their own pop up now. 1800 points for getting someone to sign up under your link for a limited time! It would not surprise me if they suddenly decide to offer new subscribers a sign up gift at this point.
Reply
Debbie
I would be super curious as to how many people have cancelled. Giving 1800 points away for a referral is a huge sign that they lost a lot. Not so much that they are turning it around. There is no possibility that I would shill this bag to my friends for 1800 points, which is basically one free full size item.
fetchingmommy
I’d love to get that Tarte blush; I love blushes, that shades beautiful and I’ve been wanting to try out their formula. I also wouldn’t mind getting that Suva eyeshadow and Pürlisse BB. I’m pretty sure I’m done with GBP unless they can make a big turn around. I’ve skipped 3 months in a row and there’s no FOMO after the complete spoilers are released. I just hope Ipsy is done with the collabs for a good while or I’ll drop the regular bag too.

I just wish i could even get one red or brown shaded lip product, i have been a member for a year and a half and still have not received a red or brown lippie! I have it on my profile that i wear red and browns! I always get purple or light shades that make me look washed out!

Looks good, but, unfortunately, items I’m just not into either product wise or shade. It’s one of those months I hope I get leftovers. But then again, my daughter’s tastes are changing. Maybe more for her Christmas makeup bag…

Right! Tarte’s blushes are the only ones I use. This one looks so beautiful, like a great everyday shade. If not, hopefully there will be an opportunity to get it as an add on! I use their blushes every day, but I still havent even made a dent!
Reply
Dawna
Right?! Finally a blush that doesn’t cause pore and acne issues. This shade isn’t for me, but it would work for my daughter. I have blushing bride and I’ve had it for over a year. I don’t wear makeup everyday and I do have one other blush I use when my skin is really tan. I’m shocked at how long this Tarte blush is lasting! It’s one of those products that is worth the money.

I just received my November bag and I love every single thing (unlike my allure, it had not a single thing I was excited about). This December bag looks amazing! I really hope I get the blush and lipstick. I love that lipstick brand and I’ve wanted to try that blush forever!
Reply
Michelle
I didn’t get anything I wanted from allure. No essence, no cloud cream. I didn’t want the pore putty. I think I’m about finished with subs. Ipsy has not delivered much lately. I could’ve bought the Farmacy balm myself and saved a ton of money.

Yes. But haven’t they also increased points you can earn? (Probably not by 600 percent tho. ) I thought the max per bag before was 10 to evidence and 10 to share and now it’s that plus 15 per item. Correct me if I am wrong. I never payed attention to points all that much cuz I forgot to do reviews but recently I went back to all my past bags until November 2015 and reviewed and shared them for 20 points total and then went back to all my bags until July is this year and reviewed all items for 15 points per item. I rounded up almost 2000 points.
Also the window to get 1800 points for a referral was waaaaaay up short. It should be like for a month or until Xmas. I really wonder how successful it was for them.

I really like the lipstick and blush.. I also like the brush because it looks really good for applying highlighter which is my favorite thing to do… I can’t wait for December to come.

If you like “dark nudes” with a hint of plum or mauve you should see if you can find I’ll Bring Dessert in one of the swap groups. It really is a perfect every day shade for me and I imagine quite flattering for the majority of skin tones
