I skipped November’s glam box plus. Just cancelled altogether for December. Ipsy has went down hill. Another Illamasqua eyeliner???? Why do I keep getting black liquid eyeliner in my boxes. I don’t even wear it! I’ve never heard of the brand, for the quad eyeshadow. 25 dollars a month???? I could get the same items at my local Big Lott’s a lot cheaper. Sick of getting these discounted brands I’ve never heard of. So long Ipsy!

Pam

Gosh IPSY…what has happened to the quality name brands we were getting? I’m rethinking my subscription now…Boxyluxe is really kicking up their products and giving us name brands always…I may cancel my IPSY and just use boxyluxe

Jamey

I got the serum in my ultimate this month, and it’s awful. It pulls up and so gross I have to wash my face right away. I just threw it away after trying it 3 times.

Are they sending these to everyone?!

Oh well. Paused November and now pausing December. Looking forward to something fabulous in January, or might just cancel. I know IPSY Plus can be great, but these past couple of months just haven’t been the right match for me. Have not liked Boxy’s business model lately, so they are on the chopping block permanently. Bought Pat McGrath’s new quads and her newest Mothership and both of Hourglass holiday 6-pan Ghost palettes, so I think that will be my new direction of just buying what makes me definitely happy and not winding up with overload and donation piles. The Rouge event totally decimated my budget, anyways. What budget? There’s nothing left, since I have no self control. 🙁

Jamey

How do you like the new mothership pallette?! Does it have all the glitter and sparkle?! I unfortunately dont have a sephora near me and have some of her other pallettes I love…but I like glitter and the sparkle.

Hi,

Does anybody know when we will have the December Ulimate spoilers? I’m new to Ipsy. November will be my first box (patiently waiting which isn’t one of my virtues)

Thanks!

amyr

I like all of these except the face spray.

I will take any of the others 🙂

Jacki

I just received my November Ultimate box. It includes the Evolue super oil. Oils don’t really do anything but leave me oily. So I wasn’t expecting great things from a Super Oil. I’m delighted to discover that I love this! It’s a similar feel to my fave Caudalie serum. I’d love to have more!

Jackie

was expecting more exciting spoilers for the december box. morphe lipstick looks nice but i hope they step it up with the next round of spoilers :/

Charlotte

Where are the regular ipsy Glam bag spoilers? I’ve been checking for so very long now!!

Deanne

I think everyone needs to realize and accept that if beauty boxes include Murad, Sunday Riley, other extremely high end brands every month this market will very quickly become unsustainable as a business model and will crash. People are demanding more and more expensive items for very little money in these boxes, for their business model to work they HAVE to have some months where there is more filler products not to mention many people enjoy finding new makeup from less expensive brands that they would not normally go out and buy to try. I know that I like to have options both in high-end and in drugstore makeup. The nice thing is that there is a pause button for those months where it does not work for me personally. The thing though is that if people do not reign in their demand, pretty soon beauty boxes are going to be over completely.

Tamichiko

I agree with you completely. As much as I do enjoy getting higher end brands in my boxes, at the same time I am open to trying new and/or unknown brands. Ipsy and Boxycharm (even though they heavily focus on the big name brands) are a mix of both big name brands and smaller unknown brands. This is why I am currently subscribed to both, although I might drop both after next month so that I can start saving money so that I can move back to L.A. in the future (I currently live with my great aunt in Hesperia, California). Beauty subscription boxes used to be fun for me, but now they’re so depressing to the point that it’s hard to enjoy what I’m getting in my boxes every month, and it’s because people are beginning to act greedy and entitled. People seriously need to chill with the unnecessary demands. This is why subscription services like Ipsy and Boxycharm are now having serious issues every month. This is also why some subscription boxes go out of business. It’s also a huge factor as to why Ipsy and Boxycharm recently raised prices (a lot of brands, especially big name brands, are beginning to charge these subscription boxes more money for the products that they put in the boxes, so the subscription boxes try to cover costs by charging their subscribers more money). And it will get even worse as long as we keep acting like spoiled and entitled brats.

Julie

I would have no issue with inexpensive brands. I think the biggest issue is when they straight up lie about RV in order to get people to purchase the boxes. No one is forcing them to constantly raise the promised RV but when they do and then don’t deliver or worse use a cheap collaboration and assign it a value to compensate for what they couldn’t deliver on that’s where people get mad. I love brushes, and if they sent $15 NYX brushes I would be over the moon instead they send a brand that only sells on their site, amazon, and it’s own site for a crazy retail value that I doubt anyone has actually paid in order to pad the promised value. And I’ve gotten 5 sets of these brushes when I had ipsy plus.

Agreed. Nyx and Elf have some nice products out there, along with Milani, Flower Beauty, etc. It is the Betty Boop and Gigi who? that I wonder where the stuff is made and what it is made of that turns me off.

Lynda

Ipsy is stating the MSRP (Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price). They are not just making them up. Can you find a lot of these products cheaper? Of course you can. Lesser known Indie brands can often be found at retailers like T.J. Max at discounted prices. But they too list the MSRP and their price so you can see what a “bargain” it is. Even brands like Sunday Riley and Murad have sales some times. Ipsy has more than 3.5 million subscribers. I don’t think they they need to make up ways to lure people in.

Sung

I think I’m going to cancel GBP. I skipped last month and I was hoping Dec will be great but nah. Maybe I’m just burnt out of this beautybox sub. I have too many makeup and skincare, seems like I don’t get too excite about makeup any more. I feel like I expecting more and better products cause I’ve been spoiled in the past.

Heather

Based on this, I am probably going to skip. Does anyone know if there will be more spoilers and when? I don’t want to be too hasty and then miss out on something great. However, it seems they always release the best spoilers first. If that’s the case, nothing appeals to me this month and my wallet could use the break. 🙂

Tiina

Ipsy Glam Bag Plus is the only one I had subscribed to from Ipsy and have now skipped 2 months already. When I signed up, I received Pixi spray, beautiful eyeshadow palette etc. all items I used. One month I got a great cleanser, IT cosmetics foundation and one month Huda Beauty Pink Sands. That is what I would expect: one high demand Very exciting item and few ”not known brands” adds like shadow brushes, body wash, single shadows, lip liners etc. Now it seems like the named brands are out and all they are left with is the filler stuff that used to be ”support items” for the big demand items. If this does not change soon, I will be completely out of Ipsy.

Jamey

The eyeshadow looks like a good idea, but honestly the 4 colors that are shown dont look like they will actually show up on many skin tones. Even for neutrals, they dont look very good pigment wise. I love eyeshadow and a good indie brand, but that just dont look good.

Reneekathryn

I really need a new setting spray, so that alone makes the box worth it and it’s a great brand name setting spray. I love facial oils and this one looks decent and has some nice ingredients! The eyeshadow colors are a little plain for me but it looks interesting and I’ve never had a magnetic case before. I’m intrigued! I just hope they listen to our profiles (pleeeeeease no red lipsticks for me!!!).

L Granger

Same here and I always get red lippies. urrrgh

Ivy

I like the spoiler, but they always send me 2/5 things that I don’t like.

Heather

That’s pretty good. I always get 3-4 things I don’t like.

Lisa

I am loving the spoilers, the pallet looks great and serum looks awesome not a fan of the eyeliner but you can’t be happy with everything for $25 it’s such a great value. I love Ipsy

Stacy

All the complaining EVERY month, 1 sub box is never going to be able to make EVERY subscriber totally happy every month. Also for all the complaints about brands, colors, products Sub boxes can only offer us these great deals by buying overstock, low selling items brands want to get rid of, buying in bulk (where they also get a better deal on lower selling items) or a company wanting more exposure and making a deal with the sub box to be featured. They aren’t usually able to get the big names or most trendy products or they’d have to charge way more. Think about it even the people who buy in bulk and sell are still only able to give you $10-15 dollars off retail price. Just because you may not like bold eyeshadow, red lips, glitter, bold color lippies or that you want hair care or perfume doesn’t mean that’s what they should include because there are hundreds of thousands of other subscribers who want the opposite. Yes I agree sometimes it seems that they don’t go by our quizzes as well as others (the first 6 months Plus nailed my quiz every month, the last 3 it’s like they didn’t even look at it) and that’s because they are limited in what they have to offer so they make up different variations of boxes to be distributed then try to match each subscriber with a variation that meets their desires. Last thing these sub boxes are supposed to be a way to expose people to new brands, products n colors so they don’t always match you perfectly so you’ll explore. Sorry for the long winded rant

Jules Casey

Thank you.

I sometimes read the comments simply to laugh because I’m shocked by how spoiled we’ve become.

I’m happy every month considering the incredible value for the products we get regardless of what they are. If I really need and want a specific item, I’ll go to Sephora and buy it. I’m not expecting to receive 5 of MY holy grail beauty staples every month. That would be ridiculous.

Jamey

This is the thing…I dont use sub boxes as my “end all be all” I dont live near a Sephora and I use sub boxes to try out items a s brands to see if their formulas work for me makeup and skincare. I dont want some “shell company” makeup or skin care and if I get something that works for me (farmacy from boxy, sunday riley from ipsy, and natasha denona from allure ) I go out and invest in every month because I found it works for me and I get results. The thing is, I’m still searching for things to switch up too, and I dont mind investing in decent items. I understand some months will be better then others and you’re always going to get items you cant use, but someone else might. The issue is, since ipsy rolled out ultimate, the plus brands and items went downhill NOTICEABLY. I am looking for good items, good/decent brands that work that I will then go buy different things from to play around with.

You cant go by youtube, or reviews because everyone skin and living environment is so different that one item might work for one and not the other. That’s great, but when the level of standards go way down, then there is an issue. It’s not about being spoiled or entitled. It’s about quality control and consistency.

I dont think ipsy was ready to roll out ultimate, plus and add ons. Then seem to recycle the same products for a few months..heck, just this one in plus, the serum I got in ultimate for November. Why would I want it again in plus?! I also just got a funky contour..why would I want another contour in powder this month?! Plus I got 3 items in ultimate last month I have already received in the previous year with ipsy, and they were rated low and bad, yet they sent them again. When you do things like this, there are problems. Plus I feel like a DECENT company should taketrends, feedback, general profiles, into consideration. Ipsy has been around a LONG time. Long enough to know this.

I’ve never had an issue about plus. I found items every month in it that I loved and have bought things from the brands. EVERY MONTH…until ultimate rolled out and now its constantly went downhill. I’m not the only one saying this. Its mind boggling how ipsy must be ran as company for this to be such a drastic issue for so many, and the blank script of “do your reviews each month, update your profile” crap, when at this point they dont follow in and in most months it’s the exact opposite of the things you want. It’s almost as if you rate the things you like low, and the things you dislike high, you MIGHT have a better chance of getting items.

I think most people want companies to succeed and do good, and to do this, you need feedback regardless of how that goes, as long as its constructive and makes sense. If not, a company is doomed.

Sorry so long, just my .02 I hope everyone has a fantastic day/night wherever you are. You’re beautiful!!

Tammy

I like it… It’s so dreamy… I like this curation. My November bag included Smith and cult nails polish, a perfect compliment to this …

Letticia

Amen, Sister! I get so tired of reading all of the complaints. But, you can’t please everyone all of the time.

Teresa

Hear Hear!

RubyWooWhoo

The quality of the GBP has had a pretty noticeable decline in the 3-4 months. People are allowed to have opinions about that, voice them and decide if it’s still a subscription they’re interested in receiving. It wasn’t for me, and I cancelled back in August. I still like to keep up with spoilers though in the hope that they might start to improve again. If the bag looks lackluster, I’ll certainly say so if I feel like doing so.

Amy DiCarlo

I noticed that as well. The last 3 months have been horrible for me. I am just hoping things can go back to before (like when I was getting the It Cosmetics heavenly face brushes ) those boxes were amazing and made me very happy .

Elyse V

Exactly this. The quality took a nose dive (for me) in early summer. I’ve skipped most of them (and was changed last time even though I skipped.) I RAVED about GBP I’m the beginning. Then they started sending my opt out item every month (highlighter.) I always really wanted at least one spoiler item and now I don’t want any the last few months.

Le Anne

THIS. Thank you for typing this out. I’d only add why don’t we rant about what they get right, or rant encouragement for improvement in future? And if someone cancelled, why is that person lurking?

RubyWooWhoo

I cancelled and I watch the spoilers to see if they have a decent month so I’ll know to resubscribe for it. Or maybe others are just interested in the articles on MSA or just sub boxes in general. No one has to justify anything thing though, these comments are open to everyone.

Sarah

Ipsy doesn’t pay for the items that actually go in the Glambags.

Lynda

How do you know this?

MimiR

Ugh!!!! Doesn’t look very promising for December. I’m only liking the setting spray.

Tiffany Schmidt

For everyone with questions about the palette all you have to do is click the link under the picture of the palette and it takes you to the brand site where it shows that this is in fact a magnetic palette that you can add more shadows to. It actually looks like it’s a nice quality magnetic palette so I really hope I get it in December.

Has it been confirmed that the palette is included? The site lists them separately, but does indicate the quad is being featured in Ipsy. This is a great deal if both are included as they retail for $60 combined. This will be my first month for Plus, really looking forward to it and hope to get this combo 🙂

Sunny

I actually like the colors on the palette. I wear champagne and cream colors a lot.

I love getting black eyeliner. It goes into a box until I use one up and then I open the next one. I haven’t bought an eyeliner in a long time, which is nice. I would not wear colors other than black. I hate getting blue eyeliners. Too 80’s for me.

The lipstick looks nice. I have been getting weird colors lately, brown and purple lip colors. So an actual red that I could wear is nice.

I’m not into green eyeshadow, purple eyeliner, yellow lipstick. Too trendy for me! I appreciate the classic colors and looks. Ipsy (and other subs) could do a better job at reading profiles and giving people colors accordingly!

Bonnie

I think often there aren’t that many colors available to Ipsy to give each person colors according to their profile. Or a brand may actually be paying Ipsy to promote a certain item in the box. Just a theory. I always look forward to seeing what’s in my bag and being surprised, but then I’m someone that loves both classic and trendy looks.

I hope you get to enjoy all the classics in this edition!

Redwoods301

Olive green shadow and plum eyeliner is a classic for a reason.

Michelle

You’re joking right? Classic meaning 70s and 80s maybe.

Alice

Classic? No. Those aren’t truly classics. They’re nice for a change.

Makeup86

Olive green shadow and plum eyeliner? Not together I hope. I wouldn’t call any eyeliner color other than black or brown a classic. Olive goes way in and way out of style. I’m not saying it’s not nice, but it’s either on trend or everyone is saying only their mothers wear it.

Emma

Yeah, I’m not loving anything in these spoilers, but I didn’t love anything from the first November spoilers either, and ended up pretty satisfied with my November box (except for the bag, which looks even worse in person).

Ricki

I like the colors in the quad, but looks like excess packaging.

Letticia

It a Z palette with a foam insert to keep the four eyeshadows from bouncing around during shipping. I think it’s a very nice item, even if I don’t care too much for the colors. But, who knows, they might turn out to be a go to neutral palette.

Letticia

Here is the link to the Z palette. https://ittse.com/products/florentine-gold

Emma

There’s some discussion about whether it actually comes in a z-palette you can add to. It’s hard to tell from the photo.

Alice R

Go to the company site. It’s magnetic.

Charlotte

Skipped for now, but I will probably just cancel. This is the third month in a row I have not been impressed with GBP. I considered going back to the regular glam bag so I would still have access to the add-ons, but I’m on sample overload atm, and truthfully I’ve also found the add-on selection to be disappointing these past few months.

I think Ipsy over-extended itself with the GBU, and it shows in their lack of care choosing products and curating boxes for the GBP. Treating loyal customers like second-class citizens because they didn’t spring for a $50 box seems bad for business imo, but I guess Ipsy has chosen short term greed over long term subscribers.

RubyWooWhoo

Same here. My last GBP was in August. I haven’t been interested enough in the add-ons to bother signing up for the regular bag either. It is what it is 🤷‍♂️

Sara

Agree! December looks disappointing again! I’ve skipped the last two months and December would make three, I might cancel. I don’t know. It seems to really be lacking lately, I don’t know what’s going on.

Kathy Piccini

Sigh…
Im really saddened by this. Ipsy was knocking it out of the park for me all the way up until they introduced the “Ultimate” failure. 😕😢
Never thought I’d say this but SERIOUSLY considering cancelling my Plus this month. Already cancelled the itty bitty rrgular bag.

Jamey

Agree…it like they didnt plan for ultimate well, or maybe people running ipsy arent equipped to handle it because this is most definitely not the amazing boxes they were up until ultimate was released….people can say whatever, but when it comes down to every month for months on end was amazing and then they roll out something new (and a failure both months for the new roll outs) and now plus is suffering as well.
It seems like they just dont have enough products and decent brands to introduce people too, plus add ons and they just dont care.

I don’t particularly LOVE anything but for $25 it’s a great deal and a way to discover new products. The red lipstick and black eyeliner will be immediately gifted.

Angie

I haven’t gotten a bag since July because I keep pausing them. I’m not thrilled with most of these items and haven’t been for quite a while. Pausing for 5 months in a row seems excessive, I’m just going to cancel.

disneyjoy1970

I’m intrigued by the Tarte spray and the Evolue Oil. I do not need, nor do I want yet another red lipstick… so that’s a no. The other items are wah-wah, for me. C’mon Ipsy… December is a month your subscribers want to be wowed. Please give us something to drool over. 🙂
