just went into my acct to skip Dec GBP and it wouldn’t let me..I have skipped before online no issues at all. When I went to pause it says that Jan would be skipped (not Dec???) so I just cancelled. This is odd. On the 22nd of Nov or so I got an email from Ispy saying that they are listening to their customers and that we could pause whenever we wanted and resume whenever we wanted. Guess not???

I’m actually kind of disappointed in this bag; I mean November wasn’t great but I thought since it being so close to Christmas it would be better. Idk I’m kind of tired of the repeat brands and boring selection.

I’m thinking more skincare products BUT a wider variety rather than sending the exact same one month after month. Switch it up a bit allowing us to experiment withdifferent brands is why i signed up to begin with! Loving the brush this month! Good quality and something i definitely wouldn’t spend that much money on forjust 1 brush fir myself! But otherwise i hear ya. This box doesn’t get me REALLY EXCITED! IN FACT I’M A BIT WORRIED ABOUT WHATS IN STORE FOR JANUARY ESPECIALLY SINCE I AM JUST RESUBSCRIBINGB AFTER A 3 MONTH BREAK. DUE TO CONSTANTLY BEING DISAPPOINTED

Are we not getting to choose an item for December? I haven’t seen anything yet and it’s the 25.

I got my choice email today and I went with one of the Morphe lipsticks.
Despite me having red lipstick listed as “often”, I don’t as many as I would like.

i get NOTHING but red lipsticks which I have to try to give away
i dont look good in bright reds
i also am tired of collecting so many black eyeliners & masacaras
i forgot to cancel this month & saw the bill hit today so i guess im getting this box
i did want to try the skin oil so its not the end of the world but I did go onto ipsy & reset the boxes to every other month ..

Me either and I’ve been checking every day. Fortunately, I am down to just the basic glam bag after several disappointing months of GBP so not as much at stake anymore.

what is going on with ipsy plus lately. I have always loved getting my ipsy plus box in the mail but with these spoilers I wouldnt even get excited at all . well atleast they let you skip as many months as you want, ive now skipped oct, nov, and now dec. 🙁 I miss getting it but why buy if your not into the items.

I love it all.. Except the eyeliner. They really love their black liquid liners. I guess because it’s universal. Anyway, I would be happy to get everything else. Oops I forgot to complain. Bad Ipsy, bad! ( but no, I really love you and if I didn’t I would take my $25 to the store and pick out my own products)

Am I really seeing black liquid eyeliner and red lip color as a spoiler? Sigh.

my son is going to make up gifts for the girls that like him so they may appreciate a red lipstick & some black mascaras & eyeliners because i cannot use these reds at all they dont suit me
i have enough eyeliner in black & black mascara to last me the rest of my life as little as I use those
I thought giving them to my son to give to these teenage girls for christmas maybe better than letting them just keep piling up
girls that age like make up &I did notice that those girls BOTH could wear red lipsticks with their coloring.

At first I wasn’t interested in the eyeshadow palette until I clicked on the link to check it out. I actually really like that magnetic pan.
I’d enjoy the brush, tarte setting spray, eye shadow and eye cream.
While it might not seem exciting it’s all stuff I’ll use. I dont want that color of lipstick or an eye liner . I always use eye shadow to line my eyes.

They showed in Ipsy live (you can see it in Facebook in their account) some of the items. The Tarte blushes for the 12 Ipsy basic looked nice, and the items in Glam Bag Plus looked only decent. The eyeshadow carrier + couple of eyeshadows looked nice though. Probably will skip unless there is something magical in choice.

I wouldn’t mind the brush (brush hoarder), setting spray, or lippie. I’m hoping it gets better bc of the holidays….

Yawnnnnnn. Not one single thing I am interested in. I have skipped all but two of the last 6 bags. I think it’s time to cancel but I keep holding out hope that it will be great again. Sad. I may just resubscribe to boxy instead.

Some of the Ipsy Ultimate subscribers that received it were saying that the Evolue Skin Oil smells really bad. Anyone know about that? Or what it smells like? That might influence my pick (if it’s one of my options). I’d rather not have a funky smelling facial oil 🙂.
Reply

It’s bad. It pulls up even if you use a couple drops, I tried shaking it, it’s a milky color, used it 3 times at night and had to wash my face right away and just threw it away. I didn’t notice a small (to be fair I’ve been sick with pneumonia) but I threw it away because it pilled up when I used it on my elbows and feet. Was sticky and just a gross product.

I haven’t tried it yet, but when I unscrewed the top to smell it there was no odor at all.
Reply
Jamey
The oil is a milky white color, and you have to shake it up super well. Mine had no real smell, but I threw it away because even on a cleanly washed face, and put just a light amount, that stuff pills into gunk so bad you have to wash your face. I even tried it on elbows and feet to try not to waste it and it was horrid and rolled up. Like it didn’t sink in….so I tossed it out. Its junk.

Yup. It does smell super bad. I was shoook honestly. It smells Like dirty fee x2.

Does one really get these items? I like it all but for the lipstick and eyeliner shade…at one time I would have worn those colors though but never was much for red lipstick but rarely…I would almost get this if it was as described I know a couple of my neighbors granddaughters would like the eyeliner and lipstick. I stopped the ipsy regular glam bag so this is a maybe, I could try it but probably a wait list. Can’t make up my mind yet.

Nothing is exciting me about this at all. I skipped November, looks like I’ll be skipping December. Which is fine as I’ll be getting boxy luxe and boxy premium.

Were you able to skip? It says you have until 11/30 to decide, but when I go to the option it says I’ll be skipping January not December.

This is a known problem that they act like they don’t know. I’ve skipped the past 2-3 months, but I’ve had to message ipsy care on twitter each time. First it would only let me skip every other month, for example in October I tried to skip November but it said if I skipped, my next bag would be Jan 2020. Somehow they changed my bag frequency to every other month and I can’t change it back and I can’t skip. When I messaged them they said they’d look in to it and why it was happening but never got back to me.
Jennifer
If you skip a month, you have to get the following month before they will let you skip again. I learned this when I skipped October & tried to skip Novembers too LOL

The box looks good to me . I’m hoping for the setting spray. I’ve been planning on buying some. Not interested in the lipstick, palette, or eyeliner.

This is a little bit interesting to me, the brush and Tarte spray looks good. The Evolve hyaluronic acid is totally overpriced – it contains basically few ingredients and hyaluronic acid. The Ordinary pure Hyaluronic acid is like 6 dollars and they still make profit. If this Evolue brand adds in hyaluronic acid, couple of preservatives and citrus and sodium benzonite, I am pretty sure (100% sure) it is NOT worth 68 dollars. More like 10 dollars and even with that, they would make a profit. I do not understand where they get these brands from? They could give us high end Korean moisturizing serum that retail is 20 dollars and I would rather have that than this…

My guess is, ipsy builds “shell companies” in china to make products for cheap and then slap a high value on them. They are the ones you cant find anywhere else, or ones that are obscure sites and no reviews. This way they keep things under the ipsy umbrella and use China to maximize even more profit, while sending out junk each month vs name brand items. It’s odd they claim its “indie brands” most indie brands have decent sites and have been heard of before, but not with ipsy. So with the, keeping everything “in house” they make a lot more money they they would otherwise.

RubyWooWhoo
I think this is one of those Ipsy house brands masquerading as an “Indie” brand because they only seem to exist on Ipsy.com and a small, questionable looking brand website. That’s a big no thank you to that one from me.

RubyWooWhoo, (love that btw!) Evolue, definitely isn’t one of those. Their products have been in the Allure box, so I really don’t think so on this one.💜 I also agree with the original post, just give me pure Hyaluronic acid at the lower cost. Prices are so expensive on skincare, I check and research ingredients before deciding what is worth buying. Funny thing, most of my favorites or HG’s when it comes to skincare are inexpensive products that come from the drugstore. The more really good drugstore skincare I find, the less I think these expensive brands are worth it. I guarantee I would not be using $60 and $80 serums, oils and moisturizers without subscription boxes. I’m at the point where I’m considering Curology for all my anti-aging needs in one bottle/formula. That with my favorite cleanser and moisturizer costs far less than these other products and they put trentinoin in it, which is a proven ingredient. Like, why would/should anyone ever spend over $60 on a hyaluronic acid serum? It’s ridiculous.

Skipping..I could use a good setting spray, but for my 25 bucks I’ll just order one I know I’ll use.

I hope the Tarte Stay Spray is included as an add on. I LOVE that stuff. I don’t know how I got on the every other month option. So I’m not up for plus in Dec. Does anyone know if I update my settings if I will get charged right away? I’m not trying to pay for Decembers box before Black Friday.
Reply
GMForever
Yes, you should get the Dec box as long as you update your options before the last day of the current month (Nov 30th) by 12pm, it says it very clearly if you click on your membership. Better do it quick so you can also pick one item in a few days.

I’m interested in a few things but honestly I’d rather save my money for Black Friday sales. Just bought the Divine Rose palette from Pat McGrath and she’s having her huge sale now so I might grab some more things. Also getting gifts for my family so I’ll probably skip again. I hope next year is better.
The brush, verso, the evolue skincare options and ittse is tempting. I’m pretty sure that ittse palette is magnetic and you can take the thingy out to fit more singles in. They have some beautiful colors.

Hi Retpunzel, thanks for the mention of the Pat McGrath sale! Payday is coming up – just hope it’s still on when I am more flush!

Oooh, I know! My Divine Rose Mothership shipped today. I have all of her holiday quads, so I don’t know why I bought it, other than, I buy everything she creates. Found a trio of eye shadows that caught my eye which is a couple months of IPSY Plus, but I’d rather have the eye trio, after the Tetris and Betty Boop stuff.

I feel the same way. All of these pre-sales are hard to resist and it’s difficult to figure out which day will have the best prices (now, Black Friday, Cyber Monday, etc.) or just waiting for after Christmas sales!

I love this Month bag so far, I hope I’ll get the eye cream + serum.
