Here’s what I got, and my stats 🙂 :

Total value: $1,260.13 (I was unable to value 5 items because I either didn’t know their size or I couldn’t find the product online from a reputable site)

Total # of items: 83 (like last time, I broke up sets since I would use the products individually; the only exception was with the Daily Concepts reusable makeup remover wipes… I counted those as one item)

Total # of Full Size (marked with an *): 32 (I didn’t count the following as full size (even though they weren’t sample sized either): single sheet/eye masks & tongue scraper; these totaled 22)

Total # of Deluxe/Travel-Sized/Packet Samples: 29 (I think a couple could be debateable as being travel vs. full sized since there were two size options listed; I decided to take the conservative approach and not list them as full size)

Total # of Skincare: 63
Total # of Makeup: 1
Total # of Hair: 2
Total # of Body: 13
Total # of Supplements: 3
Total # of Other: 1

Not counting the two items that were not listed on their manufacturer’s websites, the total value I came up with for my bag was $1,406.81. There was also a duplicate Serumkind Youth & Glow serum in my bag. After I added the additional $49.00 for the duplicate serum, my new total was $1,455.81. I was a little disappointed that I only received one makeup item (a $20 eye shadow palette), but I’m beyond thrilled with all the skincare goodies!! I think I counted 38 full-sized items (not counting the two that aren’t listed for sale yet, and I also didn’t count single masks), and I believe 60 items total, plus several cute little makeup/ jewelry bags, and the big IBE LA 2020 everything came in.

I am SO glad I ordered this bag as soon as they emailed me. It is one heavy load of almost all full sized items! It took me a full hour just to pull everything out and separate what I really wanted to keep.

My bag contains 63 items, almost all are full sized. Five of the 8 or 9 samples are Dr. Rogers RESTORE healing balm. Personally, I am glad I received them as five separate sample sizes vs a full size tube so I can leave them by my nightstand, end table and purse. They will get plenty of use. I will try to go through them today and make a list of items. There are so many that I really like from first glance. My bag contained quite a few duplicates which is OK as the duplicates are mostly of the higher value items.

There are a lot of full-size skin serums and quite a few CBD products. I was pleased to see several natural and/or organic skincare products.

Luna

Oooh… I can’t wait to see what you got! It sounds like this time around some of us got different things… or maybe the same things, but some got more than others in forms of duplicates. 🙂 I only got one Dr. Rogers sample, and the only duplicates I got were of the Serumkind serum set and a Serumkind full size serum (2 each). I’m still super happy with my bag though! I wasn’t going to list my contents since I think others will, but I’m now inclined to do so since it seems like our bags vary slightly. Have fun trying all of your new products! 🙂

I found the time to calculate the value of everything I received. I got a total of 58 products, 34 products are full sized (I did not calculate sheet masks as full sized products only if it came in a full sized box) and 24 are sample sized.
The total value is $1,325.27 which is awesome for a $215 box 😀
What I like most is that almost every product is clean and cruelty free.
I am not sure if I should list every product, I do not want to ruin the surprise.

I received mine yesterday and WOW! The one thing I notice from this bag and the 2019 New York bag is the value per item is higher. This bag has many serums and moisturizers (which I love). I only received one makeup item which was the IBE eye shadow palette. It’s just an incredible bag.

Reply ButtonReply

Luna

Yes! I loved how skincare heavy it was… and the sizes!!! 😀 The only makeup product I received was also the IBY palette. The only thing I now wish it included was at least one fragrance and one nail polish. But not complaining! I loved my bag, and am crossing my fingers that they do another for the Dallas expo in May. 🙂

Luna

Yes, please post the list Carmen!!! 😀 I don’t know when I’ll be able to do the valuation of my bag this week, so if you have it all already written down, I know a lot of us won’t mind seeing it 🙂 I’m sure as people are getting their bags, they’re coming here to see what others got too. 🙂 If you post the contents & value before I do (which most likely won’t be until Thursday), then I’ll just see if we got anything different, and I’ll just list whatever I got that you didn’t. 🙂

Hi Luna,

I tried but the comment does not show but I will try again.

I completely agree with Kim. Please do post the list! I got my bag today and had a blast checking everything out. It must have been very time consuming for you to figure all of the retail values, and I know most of us would very much appreciate it if you wouldn’t mind posting your list!

I was blown away opening this bag today. I am so glad I opted to not get the best in show and go for this one.

I am sure people still coming to this thread are hoping to see what was in the bags (I was until this AM when I heard the loud thud on the porch lol), so if you have time you should totally post it.

I received my box! Lots of stuff, it will take me a while to dig through it 😃

Wait. You just ordered it, even though it was a hundred bucks more than you thought it would be, and not the right year?

Luna

It sounds like you bought IBE’s Best in Show 2019 Collection which is $295 (MSA posted about it on 1/21), not the LA 2020 Discovery Bag that MSA posted here that’s $195.

I’m now saying I can’t wait until I win the lottery… I’m hoping for the best for tomorrow! 😉

There was just a post on this a few weeks ago…..maybe? It was for the Indie Beauty Expo Best in Show 2019 Limited Edition Box.

Pardon my ignorance, this box is different? Or will it contain some of the same items?

Reply ButtonReply

Luna

This bag is different. The box that was posted earlier was featuring their 2019 Best in Show winners. This bag is including products that are sold by the brands that showed at this year’s LA Indie Beauty Expo which occurred in January. 🙂 It’s just a way for consumers to sample the goods since they no longer offer a Shop Indie experience to the public as it’s only open to professionals in the industry now.

Hi Lisa, thank you so much for doing all this work! Great to read through! An awesome selection and I loved the statistical analysis. Be still my beating heart!

That’s actually my post from the NYC post that Lisa copied 🙂 I’m a numbers girl, so I couldn’t resist doing the stats analysis. lol! I can’t wait to see how the numbers stack up with LA’s bag! 😀

Lisa

I was just reposting for Luna, she did all that hard work, I can’t take any of the credit 😍

Luna

Thanks for posting 🙂 This will serve as a quicker reference as to what was received in last year’s bag in case anyone is curious. 🙂 I definitely plan on doing another valuation on what I receive for LA’s bag if no one else has posted by then. 😉 Hopefully, I’ll receive it on a day off like I did last time!

That was the NY box.

Is there a discount code before I submit?

Luna

I didn’t see one 🙁

Are these full size products? Some look like they are.

Luna

Almost half of last year’s bag were full size products 🙂 I have no idea though how the make up of LA’s bag will be though. That’d be cool if it’s the same as NYC’s bag!

Alice

Tempting, but can’t afford this.

I just got one 🙂 The last box was awesome, it contained so many great items and it was the biggest box I have ever received. My husband had to carry it for me because it was so heavy.

Seems petty to quibble, but for $210, I’d expect a pretty bag. This one is absolutely NOT.

Luna

They also state that this bag will weigh 15lbs (just thought I’d throw that out there 🙂 )

Here’s the link to MSA’s post about last year’s NYC bag, in case anyone would like to see what some of us got (located in comments):

https://www.mysubscriptionaddiction.com/2019/08/indie-beauty-expo-2019-limited-edition-box-available-now.html

For comparison sake, last year’s bag was the same price, but I believe the shipping was like $28 or something, weighed 21.5lb and they stated that the bags would contain over 75 products, but my bag contained over 100 items (I think like everyone elses since for the most part it seemed like everyone got the same items) and was valued at over $1,700!

I just read your breakdown of the last one-pretty amazing! The value is certainly there but that is a whole lot of product all at once.
Is it crazy that I immediately scrolled through the comments on the last bag looking for your name because I knew that’s where the good info would be? Thanks for being awesome, Luna!

Luna

Awww, thanks Ashley!!! 😀

Alice

Read all the contents from that one! When will the NY bag be available? I may be able to save for it. Thank you!

Luna

If they release one, it’ll be in August or September 🙂 I noticed last year they released the bag prior to the NYC expo which was in late August (the bag came out in mid-August), and this time they released LA’s bag well after the expo which occurred in late January. Also, Dallas has an expo in May, so hopefully they’ll do a discovery bag for that expo too! If they did, I’d guess it would come out in May or June. 🙂

Luna

Oh! And almost half of the bag was full size products too even though they stated “samples” like they state this year, and last year’s bag was comprised mostly of skincare & body care products. Right up my alley 🙂

I got last year’s bag and just bought this one too! It’s a great value
