I just realized when I opened my Visa bill today that Ipsy didn’t cancel my May glam bag, even though I asked them to before the end of April. I’m actually happy to be getting it, after reading rave reviews of the mascara on another post. Nothing else in the bag looks all that great, though.

* Benefit Cosmetics Roller Lash Mascara in black (my pick)

* F.A.R.A.H. Brushes large blender – This looks pretty, but I already have a fairly new eyeshadow brush.

* Ciate’ London Fierce Flicks in black – for a 67-year-old with crepey eyelids? I’ll try it in the privacy of home, and will be amazed if it looks good.

* theBalm Cosmetics Autobalm Day2Night in Lombard St. – Pale skin, light gray eyes and gray hair with dark, dark brown eyeshadow? Do they read our profiles? Maybe applying foundation on top of it will lighten it enough.

* Marc Anthony True Professional Leave-In Conditioner. I have never tried a leave-in conditioner, so that’s a plus. So tired of coconut oil in everything, though.

No add-ons. I wanted the beach set, but didn’t order it right away and by the time I decided to, it was sold out. That’ll teach me! (This is my first box.)

My bag has:
Wander Beauty Foundation (light medium)
Tarte Lip Gloss (Below Deck)
Goldfaden MD Wake Up Call
Catherine Malandrino (Special moments)
Space Case (Intense Stargasm)

Really wish I was getting an eye brush but I’ve gotten a few before so I guess I’ll live 😉

Mine won’t reveal my bad. It’s so weird. And there aren’t any date under the Upcoming Events. My address was all wonky (it was listed 3 times in a row, once for my name, once for my address line 1 and once for my address line 2). I have no idea what is going on.

I got 2 overnight face masks 😑 the fab pharma and the goldfaden. I’ll use them but ehh.
Also got farah eye brush, rollerlash mascara and wander beauty foundation

My glam bag:

Slmissglam brush (happy, I love getting eye brushes)
FAB Pharma Relief & Rescue Mask ( I like FAB so I’ll try it)
Tarte H20 lip gloss in Sail Away (love lip glosses)
Yensa concealer in fair cool (my pick)
Pure Brazilian anti-frizz serum (eh. Will probably give to my sister because I really dont have a frizz problem)

Add ons:
Tarte Jelly lip mask
Cover FX setting spray

LJ

My bag does generally match my profile, which is nice and unusual:

Non-Rarely Items:
Slimissglam brush – I like brushes and I feel this is where I get most of the value of the bag
FAB Mask – my pick and I’m very curious about arnica
Yesna concealer – not sure on the shade, but I’ll give it a try
Marc Anthony leave-in conditioner – not super excited, but again, I’ll give it a go

Rarely Items:
Tarte lip gloss in Below Deck – I prefer liquid lip but 4/5 non-rarely is amazing for me and Ipsy

Would have loved a nail polish, which I have marked always, but overall pretty happy.

No add-ons.

My bag is ok this month. I’m getting:

Goldfadden MD Overnight Treatment (my choice item)

Pure Brazilian Anti-Frizz Serum (I’ve never tried this brand before so I’m happy)

Soroci Spot Light Eye Cream (I love skincare and eye creams, so I’m also happy for this)

TheBalm Cosmetics Eyeshadow in Wall St. (I would have preferred the Space Case color)

Tarte Lip Gloss in Below Deck (I would have preferred the Sail Away color but I’m still happy with this)

TonyMoly I’m Honey Rescue Mask – Add-on

OneKind Nighttime Moisturizer – Add-on

I didn’t go crazy with the add-ons because of the current state of affairs in the world with this virus. I don’t know when I’m getting back to work and I am trying to be frugal with my money.

Bag twins 🤗! I got the exact same as you, with Tarte jelly glaze lip mask as my choice item. Really wanted the Yensa concealer and Farah large blender eye brush so I like this bag (just not into thebalm eyeshadow). Also, I added the same two as you lol, plus the Sunday Riley good genes and Hey Honey sweet treat recovery mask.

I’m getting:
Tarte lipgloss in Below Deck (my pick)
Farah brushes blender brush
Wander Beauty foundation
Goldenfab MD Wake Up Call Overnight Regenerative Facial Treatment
Pure Brazilian Anti-Frizz Serum

Overall I’m pretty happy about my bag!! Super happy to try the Wander beauty foundation and I love getting brushes so that’s an automatic win for me! I’m not happy about the hair product but oh well. I added on the Tarte Sea Jelly Lip Mask and the Coffee body scrub.

This is my first Ipsy bag ever! I’m happy to be getting this same bag. My choice was the Goldenfab. I saw Tati like the foundation, makes me excited to get to try it.

How come they never send me a nail polish? ☹️ Lol.

MsLorenX

How come they keep sending me the same 2 colors of nail polish? Lol

Dawna

Same reason they keep sending me eyeshadow brushes. So we will buy the add ons we want??? 🤷🏻‍♀️🤔🤣

Dawn

The same reason that I receive one nearly every month. You would use it, I rarely do. Profile means nothing.

I am happy with my bag and selections!
My Bag:
SLMISSGLAM SS57 brush (will probably gift, not a fan of the sparkle style, but okay)
First Aid Beauty Arnica mask (my choice)
YENSA Concealer in Fair Cool (wow, they chose the correct shade!)
TARTE H2O Gloss in Sail Away (another good shade choice!)
PURE BRAZILIAN Daily Anti-Frizz Serum (not interested, probably will swap later)

Add-Ons:
KATE SOMERVILLE – BOTH Wrinkle Warrior products, PLUS the Kx Active Concentrates Serum
SKYN ICELAND Pure Cloud Cream
Sugar Rush liquid lipstick in Sprinkle
SOROCI Spot Light Eye Cream
CoverFX Setting Spray
REAL HER Success is Mine Dual-Ended Brow Brush

I went a bit crazy with add-ons, but this was my first chance to grab good deals on stuff I will use since not getting anything for a while.

Dawna

There’s only one item in my Glambag that I will use. I certainly do not need yet another eyeshadow brush. Most of my bag just seems off this month. It happens once in awhile and I usually look at all the products available for the month before I decide if it’s a fail or they did the best they could… This month is a fail. But, there’s always next month.

Flora

I’m in the same boat, I found most of the last 3 bags I got enjoyable but this month has been a dud:
ONEKIND moisturizer (my pick and kinda meh about it since I only chose it because the Tarte jelly lip mask was all sold out. I have a lot of night moisturizers, let’s hope this wows me.)
WANDER BEAUTY Nude Illusion Liquid Foundation in Fair Light (I don’t wear a lot of foundation, I prefer only concealer and primer. Also, it is really hard to find my skin color, I’m a really light Asian, so I have neutral and yellow tones, but I can’t wear anything with too much yellow either.)
BENEFIT COSMETICS Roller Lash Mascara in Black (I’ve used this before and it’s not my fav, fail)
CIATÉ LONDON Fierce Flicks in Black (I just received a waterproof eyeliner in April’s GB, so back-to-back fail)
PURE BRAZILIAN Daily Anti-Frizz Serum (Asian, poker-straight hair that doesn’t get frizzy and needs volume, fail again)

Add-ons:
KATE SOMERVILLE Kx Active Concentrates Ceramides + Omegas Serum (I got this as a GWP and like it a lot)
TARTE SEA Jelly Glaze Anytime Lip Mask in Strawberry Jelly (somehow it was “sold-out” as a choice item but yet I can pay for an add-on? Not sure how I feel about this, but it’s definitely not good)

I was going to skip this month but I stayed on for the KS. I will just skip next month unless a lot of the spoilers wow me.

I love my Regular and Plus bags this month! I know this sounds stupid, but I had been a bit glum lately because of everything that’s going on right now, and seeing my reveals this morning actually made me feel lighter.

I’ll be receiving:
TARTE jelly lip mask – I picked this, because my lips have been dried and chapped lately.
FARAH shadow brush – I actually have this brush from the previous (different colored handle), and I love the short, dense bristles.
TONYMOLY deep moisture mask – I love k-beauty, so im looking forward to trying this mask.
YENSA concealer in neutral – Hope the color matches my skin tone. I don’t use much concealer, just a few dots below my eyes, and around my nose, so a mini concealer is great.
PIXI blush – The dusty rose color looks nice, and I like pixi as a brand.

I’m pretty happy with my bag this month:
– Tarte lip gloss in Sail Away (choice)
– Nails Inc polish in Lilac Grove
– Goldfaden night treatment
– TonyMoly honey wash-off mask
– Space Case eyeshadow in Intense Stargasm

The only thing I’m unhappy with is that ipsy sent out SC Intense Stargasm shadow like a year ago. I wanted it then & didn’t get it, so I’ve already purchased it through ebay. This is why I hate zombie/leftover items!

Carrie

I’m getting the same bag. I’m mostly happy with it. I don’t really like getting make-up and prefer skincare but I like Tarte and I have a 13 year old so any make-up I don’t want will be used.

Reply ButtonReply

Marion

Haha, lucky kid! My mom & older sisters did minimal (if any) makeup, so I was trying to figure out everything for myself at 13!

I definitely find myself more excited to try skincare items now (at 35) than when I started Ipsy a few years ago!

I got the same bag! The concealer was also my choice item.

Mary GT

I’m getting the Tarte lip mask (my choice), the Miss Glam brush, the Pure Brazilian anti-frizz hair serum (yes!), Pixi by Petra blush in beach rose (they have brown Rose’s on the beach?), and the silver Space Case eyeshadow.

I’m happy with it, but went a bit crazy with add-ons. Got the Skynn Iceland face cream, the Nomad palette, Tarte Sugar Rush liquid lipstick, all 3 of the little Tarte glosses, Yensa concealer, and Naturelab Tokyo hair mask.

My Glam Bag Plus was amazing!! My regular glam bag was probably the worst assortment of products I’ve ever seen. Not one good one to be had. Second month in a row that I got an Estate highlighter & another lip balm. Thank goodness im only out twelve bucks.

Reply ButtonReply

Marion

Haha, I felt the opposite! I like my glam bag & hate my Plus.

Would it make you feel better to know that the Estate Cosmetics highlighter was in the ~exclusive~ $6 add-on section? Obviously you got one of the premium products this month!

Kimmy

This is probably my least favorite bag in a while, but I’ve been getting bags i really like so I won’t complain. Also added some of the expensive skin care.

What I’m getting:
One kind moisturizer (my pick)
Ciate eye liner i don’t use liquid liner, but its been a long time since I’ve gotten an eyeliner
Farah large blender brush ive gotten brushes the last two months, so I’m little less excited about it
The balm eyeshadow in Lombard st, this im not excited about at all lol. Not a shade I will use.
Marc Anthony leave in conditioner, this is something I really need for my hair so I’m excited.

So overall not my favorite, but I haven’t had a bag I didn’t like in a long time so its all good.

I got that leave in as part of their pamper yourself thing last month and it is AMAZING on my hair.

-Tarte SEA H₂O Gloss Lip Gloss in Sail Away (I absolutely love these glosses, so happy to get a new shade)

-SUNDAYS Nail Polish in No. 8 (wish I had gotten the lilac shade I saw but this is still pretty)

I am so happy with my bag this month! 😊 And the Add-Ons were AMAZING! I snagged the Kate Somerville Serum, a Coloured Raine palette, the Tarte lip mask, a brush and a couple other mini Tarte glosses.

We’re bag twins but I chose the FAB mask. I was so excited for the nail polish until I saw in my other account I was getting the same one in my ultimate (insert eyeroll).

I really wanted the SUNDAYS Nail Polish lol I ended up getting the Lilac Shade

Hah! And I got the Sunday no 8 and wanted the lilac. I’m happy I got nail polish though, because at least it will get used.

I wish I’d picked the yensa in fair cool. I said “Surprise me” this month, and then that shade wasn’t in the add-ons…
But I’m still really happy with my bag :

Sunday nail polish in 8 – nice summery shade
Farah brush – I don’t need it, but it’s pretty, so no complaints!
Etat Libre D’Orange She Was an Anamoly: always happy to try a new fragrance!
Tarte gloss in Sail Away: perfect
Jeju sleep mask: Sure. Looks fun to try
Added: TonyMoly I’m honey

This month’s bag is the worst bag I have ever gotten which is so disappointing after receiving such amazing bags this whole year. I can’t really be mad about it though since I was able to add on the Sunday Riley for only $18.

I got:
lilac nail polish (eww – and marked rarely on polish)
An eyeshadow brush (with no eyeshadow and I got a similar brush last month)
Tarte liquid lip in Hang Ten (my choice)
Onekind moisturizer (saw the ingredients – nope)
Pure Brazilian hair serum (hair products marked rarely)

Ipsy is really killing it, I got the Good Genes with lactic acid, 18 dollars what a great price. I canceled Boxycharm to be able to get all 3 Ipsy.

Reply ButtonReply

Laura

$18 is a great price for GG. I found the smell to be a deal breaker for me unfortunately. In the future? For anyone who likes this product, but wants to save a ton of $? I’ve gotten great/equal results from the 10% lactic acid + HA from The Ordinary. Just wanted to note in case anyone loves GG but hates the price tag ☺️

Reply ButtonReply

Lesley

That’s a really good dupe suggestion! I picked the SR good genes add on but if I’m hooked would only pick it up again on a deal. Hope I can take the smell though lol. Thanks for the heads up 🤗!

Lori

Same here

Ronda

I’m getting almost the same color nail polish and eye shadow as I did just last month. I’m ok with it though. Just strange when there are other options.

Kyxo

Yensa concealer (choice)
Farah Brush
Pure Brazilian Anti Frizz Serum
Purlisse Body Butter
Benefit Mascara

Not too bad, my plus was pretty good too. Coulda cashed out on add-ons but I figured I probably shouldn’t..they might do second chance add-ons again this month anyways.

Between my 2 bags I Added on

Tarte lip Mask
Wander Beauty Foundation x2
Yensa Concealer
Miss Glam Brush
Naked Cosmetics Lip Scrub x2
