What month are these items supposed to appear- February or March?

Hoping for Tatcha!

At Ipsy they still have add ons available to purchase if you missed out! I just went there and bought a few more things!

I read on a different site these are February spoilers. As much as I love the eyeshadows and the foundation this time I paused February. Products overload for me.

I’m hoping for some tatcha! But, I’m a long term simple Glambag subscriber…. That would mean actually following my profile… fingers crossed!

Never even got my Dec box:/

Kristin

I didn’t receive December GBP until yesterday and it had only four items (one was a eyeliner that I asked to not receive) and only one of the three add ons purchased because the other two had sold out already. This was a replacement bag since I never received the first bag.

Why does the glam bag plus have the worst items out of the whole entire page ??? Guess I’ll skip another month. Boxycharm is blowing ipsy out of the water still.

Jo

Sick and tired of spending in excess of 130 dollars a month for all 3 Ipsy Noxrs, plus add ons to make the box contents better. I have given Ipsy almost two years. I think I am done. It cosmetics are cheaper on Wish App. There are some other Ipsy contents available on Wish and other apps inexpensive. Bye Ipsy.

Sandra Hall

No the ultimate does. All I get is the sheet mask. I told them from the being and a hundred times since. I don’t and won’t use them. They don’t go by your profile

Jo

They do. I think I’m going back to Boxy. Wish I hadn’t left them cause I was there for many years, then left, went back after a month and my boxes seemed to suffer for it. Before I left Boxy I always got the best stuff, now it’s a pot shot. Not to mention I swear I got a palette that was fake

Vi

I agree Adicarlo, but it was just the push I needed to cancel IGBP. I think I’ll just stick to boxy premium and FabFitFun since I signed up for an annual with FFF. It was hard since I’ve been with them going on two years but I’m just not happy with the box anymore.

Farewell IGBP it was fun while it lasted well sort of at least until recently, lol 😘!

Cj

It says winter so this winter isn’t over until March 19 or does it mean like when winter starts again in December? Very confusing. Maybe I’m overthinking it.

Luna

I’m sure they mean these could be in either the February or March box. 🙂

In regards to my last comment I said tarte but it is actually ofra.

Just as I was about to cancel….. Tatcha!!! YES Plz!!!

Daisy

Right?!?

Maria Cerich

I’m really confused, the spoilers are amazing for all 3 bag! But are these 3 bags,are for February 2020 or are these Winter special edition bags…please someone help me. Cause Ipsy Ultimate Winter spoilers have tempted me to subscribe, I already receive Glam bag and Glam bag plus.

Reply ButtonReply

Nicole

Yeah, I’m also a bit confused by the term “Winter Spoilers.” There is technically only one month of winter left and that is February. As far as I’m concerned, March is spring, just like the calendar says.💁

Reply ButtonReply

Meena

End of March is Spring so there’s still 3 weeks of winter in March. 😀
Plus, a lot of people live in places where there is snow through April so everyone’s concept is a little different.

MsLorenX

Yup, I agree. Only Jan and Feb are entirely contained within winter. I am excited for these glam bag spoilers though. For once. I could actually use another bronzer and primer, since I have been sharing my bags with my daughters. 🙂

Ivy

This is the 2020 preview, not February spoiler, it was up on Facebook live last month!!!

Reply ButtonReply

Nan

Can we add 5 items for each bag? Or is it 5 items total regardless of the number of bags we get?

Reply ButtonReply

Angela

But what day is add on day Isn’t it the same as reveal day? The 2nd of the month?

Reply ButtonReply

Beth

It’s 1/22. If you look at your Ipsy app under the bags you subscribe to, at the top it has watch & learn 1/12; reviews 1/20; choose a product 1/22…Reveal & add ons are always on the 2nd.

Marion

5 for each bag!

Nan

Thank you!

I was going to cancel Ultimate. Seeing the spoilers I might keep it a couple more months. I have 4 subscriptions. Ultimate, Plus and 2 Glam. Once I get enough points to redeem for something I’m cancelling one of the Glam bags.

Lily

What does ” WINTER” mean when the bags are monthly???

I’d order a GBP if I knew what month this is for. 😉

Reply ButtonReply

Blaire

Wow! They finally got their sh*t toggled this month!! 👏

Reply ButtonReply

Nancyisshopping

Yes, but it says “winter” spoilers so these are likely split over Feb and March

Reply ButtonReply

Aria

Wow, if this is so then I need to downgrade from plus to regular. Strange they’d have such better items in the cheap bag, but I’m down.

Reply ButtonReply

Victoria

It’s not a “cheap” bag. Regardless if you subscribe to the Ipsy Glambag, Plus or Ultimate, you’re still paying the same amount per product as everybody else. The difference is in the size and quantity of products, not quality.

Reply ButtonReply

Emma

You mean the tatcha? Those samples are gonna be pretty small if my past Sephora points redemptions are any indication. LOL. But I do like both of those Tatcha moisturizers– water cream for the summer and dewy for the winter. So maybe I won’t cancel one of my subs…

I only get the regular bag, but I want that lipstick! 😍

Going to look for that ThriveCausmetics on eBay. Love the colors.

I have the glam bag plus and ultimate subs…just signed up for the regular bag because those products excite me more. I’ll probably skip the current two subs I have.

Reply ButtonReply

KatKat

wow, they are flexing their big girl muscles now with the previews. finally! probably stepping up their game after so many people cancelling and skipping months.

Reply ButtonReply

Molly

That Tatcha had better be in the Ultimate bag, too. For $50 it’s time they start giving us those “top” brands they promised.

Reply ButtonReply

Maria

Unfortunately, that’s not how it works. Funny thing is, BOTH Mollys are correct though. Ipsy did advertise Ultimate as having more luxury/high-end brands AT FIRST. They’ve changed the wording since then. Now they’re only promising greater quantity, not quality, which is why the current description reflects that. Normally I wouldn’t claim to be so certain but I exchanged multiple emails over this and other Ultimate issues with an Ipsy Care supervisor last month. I was irate after seeing what my $50 was getting me for December when the reveals went up. I felt Plus had much better products in terms of quality and they even had the 311Skin product with the super high RV. But Ultimate members didn’t have the chance to receive any of the nicer skin care items from Plus. I ONLY ordered Ultimate because I was going by how it was originally marketed and because of the 311Skin item. If it was going to be in both why release it only as an Ultimate spoiler and only offer it as a choice item for Ultimate? Sneaky if you ask me. So when I saw what products Plus members were getting compared to what Ultimate subscribers were getting I felt really cheated and deceived.

I even considered the possibility that Ipsy might argue that Ultimate is more so about the number of items. But that didn’t make sense. Also I remembered when Ultimate first started people were asking why not just get two Plus bags for $50? That’s 10 FS products. Their response was that Ultimate would have EXCLUSIVE products ONLY available to Ultimate subscribers and not included in the other subscription tiers. So even if they hadn’t said anything about higher quality/RV products (although they definitely did), they for sure sent a clear message that Ultimate members would have the best, most and typically the ONLY access to certain products. December proved this to be untrue. Not just the better brands issue, but even the exclusive access claims. And that also went completely against their claim that paying $50 for Ultimate would get you the best value versus 2 Plus bags or any other combination because, I argued, mathematically speaking I could’ve used my $50 budget for one Plus bag, one regular glam bag and one FS add-on for a total of $49. This would’ve given me the same number of FS items as Ultimate and an additional sample/travel size. Not to mention an xtra dollar. Or I could’ve ordered one Plus bag, one FS add-on and 4 sample sizes (with buy 2 get 1 free promo) for $47 and had the exact same number of full and travel size products as Ultimate AND 6 of those items would’ve been my personal choices! Without the promo all that would’ve cost me $50.

After a lot of back and forth, not much was resolved. Ipsy basically ignored my comments about their earlier marketing and stuck to their current message only promising “more” from Ultimate, as in more products. I thought I shot that down pretty well with my mathematical argument but that was never specifically responded to either. Just a whole lot of “Ultimate is new, we’re listening to members and trying to improve” etc etc. And some other generic advice still failing to acknowledge my comments like, “maybe Plus is a better fit for you at this time.”

I don’t know if you can say it’s just better for me and not everyone or almost everyone if you really think about it logically. Plus along with any combination mentioned above is clearly the better value cost-wise and even more important to many more people than me is the ability to choose as many of my products as possible. Especially in my case given that despite being a subscriber for five+ years my customization just seems to get worse over time. Not to mention I can bet my bottom dollar that if I opt out of something I will receive it just as often, if not more often (typically every single month) than ever before.

I just think that no matter what it’s a gamble. If I remember correctly I personally thought Plus was better in September (or whichever month Ultimate started) and December. But Ultimate had better products in October and November and many Plus members felt Ipsy was so focused on Ultimate they were letting Plus go downhill. Maybe that’s why Plus reigned supreme in December. Personally I think Plus has Ultimate beat as far as these spoilers go as well. But who knows which products will ultimately end up in each bag? I guess the bottom line is you just have to decide how much money you’re willing to risk. I’m cutting back this year (or so I’m telling myself) so unless there’s an Ultimate spoiler or choice item that I want badly enough to spend $50 I will probably stick with Plus for now. If the Ultimate products are not special or unique in any way, I’d much rather get Plus and get to pick add-ons more suited to my preferences if I have another $25 to spare.

These are pretty good products! Haven’t heard of winter spoilers before. I love love love Sunday Riley and I currently don’t have a primer so looks like I’ll have some awesome choices in the future. I really want the skin roller. I also like benefits brow products (I’ve only tried the brow gel though). I really hope I don’t get the wander beauty foundation because I heard it wasn’t good (I do like their eye shadow though!) The tarte bronzers look super dark so I don’t want that because I have fair skin. I also never wear lipstick so I’m really hoping I don’t get that red lipstick. Anything else I’d be happy with!! Have you guys heard of that Tacha brand and some of the other not so common ones? Am I just super new to this. What’s your favorite product? What do you recommend choosing if it becomes a choice item in the future?

Reply ButtonReply

fetchingmommy

Tatcha is a nice high end brand so if either of the Tatcha creams become available as a choice or add on I’m definitely going to be picking that. Malin + Goetz is great too! Those are the items I’m personally excited about 😊

Kathy Piccini

Couldn’t agree more. As much as I love Sunday Riley products I’ve got vitamin C serums coming out my wazoo. Regular & Plus bags BOTH look better than the Ultimate in regards to THESE particular spoilers. Sigh.. Might b pausing my Ultimate if the spoilers dont get better for February.

Reply ButtonReply

Dana

You’re paying the same amount per item that everyone else is, so I don’t know why you think you’re entitled to more luxury products than anyone else.

Reply ButtonReply

Annie S.

Isn’t Glam bag Ultimate the highest ‘tier’ for Ipsy? Why wouldn’t they offer more luxury products or higher end products to people who are theoretically paying more for a subscription ? Although Benefit and Tatcha are brand names that are recognizable, Tatcha is considered to be higher end.

Greta

That’s how Ipsy marketed it. They said there is full size items in the Ipsy ultimate instead of sample size, and then they show spoilers. But so far it’s just been more items of the low end crap, and MAYBE one better brand.

Katya

The Tatcha ones are the deluxe sample sizes, you can tell from the bows missing from the top.

Brianna L Gaudett

I completely agree.

Alice

Exciting stuff. Love that SR serum. I think I will keep my regular bag for the add ons.

Reply ButtonReply

Charlotte

Ugh, I was going to skip Feb’s GBP since I’m saving up for a large purchase later in the month, but dang it I want that palette. I’ve heard great things about it. The Tatcha in the regular Glam Bag is really tempting, as well.

Reply ButtonReply

Kim

That’s what I was thinking as well. I wanted that Domenic cosmetics pallete ever since she revealed it on Instagram, just didn’t pull the trigger and order bc of the holidays. Now that it’s in Ipsy this month, do I take my chances and hope it’s an add on and stick with my regular glam bag or upgrade to plus and know that I’ll get it…

Reply ButtonReply

Melissa

Pls note that it says “winter 2020” not necess for feb! Sneaky wording!

Reply ButtonReply

Angi

Good eye!!! It makes me wonder if they are going to stop posting spoilers the month before, hoping that not as many people will cancel or pause their subs.

Karen

Exactly. It would be great if those were all for February, but I doubt it. I wait until choice day and base which bags I put a hold on and which to get from that.

Mary

Wow, a lot of bronzers and primers! Ipsy has already sent me a lifetime supply of those, I definitely do not need more, but I would love to try the Tatcha Dewy Skin Cream, the Sunday Riley serum, the Touch in Sol lipstick, and the Thrive lip glosses. I hope the Ultimate items will be available as add-ons.

Jay

Oooooo excited and what I don’t get, i hope it’s in the add ons!
