Apparently I’m not getting the purple bag with the palm trees on it like everyone else. I’m getting an old bag that I’ve already gotten in a previous box. I’m getting the light green bag with the rounded top with the ugly flowers on it with the round thing on the zipper. Why? All the issues I’ve had with ipsy this past few months is actually insane.

Good morning. It’s June 24 And I’m wondering when we get to pick an item. First time subscriber. Thanks

Choice is open and the Sunday Riley Luna oil is an option for the glam bag plus. Good luck everyone

Really disappointed. Was told I would get an email or there would be notification on when choice went live for Plus. Neither happened. I happened to get up early and check around 6:30 AM Pacific time. Sunday Riley, the only reason I signed up, was already gone. Was told later it opened 9 AM Eastern and that person (a longtime subscriber) was able to get on a couple minutes early and was able to choose Sunday Riley. Feel there is not a fair playing field for newbies. Will cancel. Was also given incorrect info when I contacted customer service.

Charlotte

Cheryl – I’ve subbed for years, and usually choice is open by now? I can’t select for either my regular glam bag or GBP, though. I really hope nothing is glitching on my end.

Why do we get highlighter EVERY month????

Reply ButtonReply

Amanda H.

Hi Sooz, I have seen u n a couple other people say something about all the highlighters. I’m totally with u. I wanted to share a lil info in case any of u didn’t know. With ipsy u can email the customer service n ask to be opt out of one or two items for a few months n most of the time they will do it for u. Like me I don’t use nail polish so I opt out, or I have a ton of highlighters n mascara so i opt out sometimes. They can’t do it for long term n they will say it’s not a guarantee that u won’t receive one but honestly they have always got it right for me. Ipsy is awesome when it comes to their customers n making us happy. They really try. Anyways sorry for rambling I hope this helps!!

Use them on you legs during the summer to make them look sexy. Google this trick and it can make your legs look even more toned!

I don’t know. I used to even hate them entirely as a category, but now I use a little because I get it and I have enough of them to gild the statue of Liberty with them. But if it’s any consolation, there are very, very many people who consider Ofra highlighters to be the best, even better than Becca, which seems to be the other top choice. (And then there are the people who try everything and say save your money, Wet & Wild highlighters are just as good as any of these.)

I have just come to accept my highlighter-y fate.

Hi everyone!!

I have a question I was hoping someone could answer for me… so I just subscribed to both Ipsy and Boxycharm a couple months ago.. and I just don’t feel that Boxycharm is worth it!! I’ve seriously only liked 1-2 products in each box I have received from them! But, I’ve really liked my Ipsy bags!! So, I’ve been considering dropping Boxycharm and signing up for both the Ipsy bag and Ipsy Plus Bag subs. So my question is for those of you who have received both Ipsy Plus and Boxycharm would you say that the Ipsy Plus bag subscription is worth it or more worth the money than Boxycharm is? Thank you!!!

MzBev

I was subbed to Boxy for about 4 years. Cancelled it a year ago and no regrets. I wasn’t using most of the items they sent me. They don’t use profiles or reviews to tailor your box. They keep saying they are working on it and IF they ever do, I might try them again. Its like they pick an item and for 6 months you’ll get different versions of that one item. (like bronzers, that I rarely use and have a load of them from Boxy)

I have had Ipsy for several years and have kept it, the whole time. I do go back and forth with which type – regular…Plus…Ultimate. But I consistently get one of them!

Reply ButtonReply

Makeup86

To me it seems that for a couple months one is better and then for a couple months the other is better. So, they take turns being worse/better, and then once on a while they both suck and then once in a while they’re both amazing. I gave up and kept both Boxycharm Premium and Ipsy Plus, even though I wanted to save money and drop one. But this month I’ll save some money because these Ipsy spoilers aren’t doing it for me at all.

Reply ButtonReply

Sarah

I feel the same way as you. A lot of people said Boxycharm is better, but for me I didn’t agree. I kept boxycharm for 3 or 4 months then canceled. I can honestly say I don’t miss it. Everyone is different though.

Christina

I have both ipsy plus and boxycharm subscriptions. I personally prefer boxycharm over ipsy. I do like that I can skip a month with ipsy because out of the last 6 months I have skipped 3 times and that’s only because I didn’t like the spoilers at all. 95% of the products I get from boxycharm I love and I’m never disappointed because even if there is one item I may not like in the box the other items make up for the one I don’t. As far as customer service I’ve never had an issue with either of them. I would recommend looking at past months boxes for both and see if you like what ipsy gives more then boxycharm. Everyone is different and likes different things

Personally, I prefer Ipsy Glam Bag Plus to Boxycharm. I used to have an annual with Boxycharm and I don’t miss it at all. Ipsy allows you to skip a month without having to cancel your subscription and I like that option.
I think Ipsy usually has better quality items over Boxy and there is less of a focus on makeup (I feel like every month Boxy sends a palette and I just can’t use that many makeup palettes).
Also, Ipsy has really good customer service and I have not been thrilled with Boxycharm’s CS.
Just my 2¢

I would love to know where the ultimate spoiler’s are? So strange I have never not known what they are and you can’t find them anywhere. I will say that plus looks absolutely amazing and surprisingly last month all 5 of my products that they gave me were in the plus spoilers from this page I decided to check to see if I got a couple of them and all 5 were on at the spoilers I couldn’t believe it I really hope that is the case next month because I absolutely love all of those spoilers.

Paige

I agree, I would love to have any combination of these spoilers with the exception of the Ofra. Any 5 out of the other 6 would be amazing!

Agreed! I’ve been looking & can’t find them. They always release spoilers for all 3 bags at the same time. But GB & GBP were 5 days ago….and so far, no Ultimate. That is very unusual. Anyone else heard anything?

Cheryl if you sign up now you will be able to choose an item for your July bag. Choice date is June 24. You have until noon PT on the last day of the month to cancel or skip. I highly recommend downloading the Ipsy app as it has everything you need to know about Ipsy. Hope this short answer helps! Btw, I think you’ll ♥️ Ipsy.

I received this response two days ago And signed up this morning June 14 and after I paid my account said my first glam bag plus would be June not July.
I joined based on this answer from Beth at ipsy so I hope IPSY will correct the situation

kim

I am pretty sure Beth isjust a reader on this blog, not anyone that works for Ipsy. There is no guarantee with Ipsy – I have signed up on the 2nd of a month and had to wait till the following month, and other times signed up later in the month and still got that month. I would suggest actually asking support at Ipsy and not seeking counsel on an unrelated blog.

kim

I hope Ipsycare can postpone your start till July for you

My June Plus bag was actually awesome, so hopefully it works out for you either way

Cheryl Painter

Lol Before everyone tells me the same thing you are all right and Beth my apologies to you
I have contacted customer service and thank you everyone for your assistance

Man, I’m really thinking about cutting back on my skin and makeup boxes. I’ve barely left my house for months. My skincare routine is on point, but boy is this makeup piling up. Usually I give things away, but I haven’t even seen my friends and family in months and can’t give them anything on Zoom. 😂😂😂

Thanks so much,

It should be safe to sign up now. I resubscribed a couple of days ago and it says I’m getting July’s bag. I’ve seen several other people report the same thing.

Thanks! I just signed up and the next box is the July box. phew! There is one mistake on there website under account is says it is the June Box, but all the other fields and the confirmation email says it is the July box so I think that’s just a typo. I really hope I get that Luna Oil!!

Cheryl Painter

I signed up this morning June 14 thinking that it would be the July box but my new account says that it will be June. I am hoping that IPSY corrects this

If I refer a friend while my ipsy is paused, can I still get points?

Not likely. They won’t let you spend the points while paused either.

I tried it and it worked! I know I can’t redeem points if I’m paused.

Not much on the bag it reminds me of “Miami Vice” a 80’s show for some reason. I do love every product though and will sign up for this box. I love Ipsy I get the base bag and every month is a winner for me. I only get Ipsy, and Fortune Cookie Soap Co. so, happy to add to it.

how do you know this just out of curiousity

Reply ButtonReply

teresa

No.
You get charged immediately for your first month. You don’t have the option to skip or cancel until after your first month. The good thing about after your first month also is that you can wait until after choice day to decide if you want to skip or not, so I may skip 3 or 4 months in a row if I don’t particularly care for the spoilers or the choice items.

Reply ButtonReply

Cheryl Painter

The website has nothing about getting to choose one item Can someone explain how that works please?

Reply ButtonReply

Cheryl Painter

I signed up on the app this morning June 14 for the glam bag plus. When I signed up it said July glam bag plus and after I paid and became a member The app shows that I will be receiving the June bag and I have no interest in that.
I hope that Beth from IPSY who responded to a question I asked on this forum sees this.
You said a few days ago if I signed up that on June 24 I would be able to pick an item and you indicated that it would be for the July glam bag plus
Now that I am a member I see that I cannot skip the first month.
I was on the fence for days worried about having a bad experience like I did with FABFITFUN.
I am hopeful that ipsy will be able to remedy this situation. Any help will be appreciated. Thank you

Beth

Ummm Cheryl I absolutely DID NOT tell you that July would be the bag you would receive! What I DID say was “ Cheryl if you sign up now you will be able to choose an item for your July bag. Choice date is June 24. You have until noon PT on the last day of the month to cancel or skip. I highly recommend downloading the Ipsy app as it has everything you need to know about Ipsy. Hope this short answer helps! Btw, I think you’ll ♥️ Ipsy.” So maybe get your story straight before you start blaming me for something I DID NOT say?!

MzBev

Cheryl, the person (Beth) who responded to you isn’t an Ipsy employee. (I’m not either) Once June 24th gets here your account will show you the ability to pick one item, for July. That is how it always works. Signing up this early, in the month, can go either way. Sometimes you’ll get the current bag, other times your first bag is the following month. I wouldn’t have recommended you do it so early, if you had no desire to get June. Please let us know what Ipsycare says!

Barbara

I just resubscribed and while filling out the subscription, there was an offer to choose either the lipstick or one of the two mascaras they are offering. It’s ll on the same pages as the details of your info.

Reply ButtonReply

Lynda

Were they Tarte products? If they were then I am fairly certain you are thinking of Allure. New subscribers get to pick a gift … a lipstick or one of two mascaras.

Cheryl Painter

That doesn’t seem to be an option for a new subscriber.

Ipsy has a “timeline” with important dates for each month on their website/in their app. Choice Day (for July’s bag) this month is June 24. On Choice day, you log into your account at 7:30 am EST, and you can see a handful of items from the bag to choose from. Not everybody will be able to choose from all the items offered for Choice (e.g. – my Ipsy beauty profile has my skin tone set to “fair,” so if Ipsy is sending out a concealer that month in the shades light & medium, the concealer would not even appear on my list of possible choice items).

You can click on each item in Choice to get more information about each product, including the sizes of the products! Some people forget to check out the sizes of the choices & are later disappointed.

Once you have decided which product you want, you click the radio button on that product, then submit your choice. You should receive an email to your account fairly quickly with confirmation of your choice. (Don’t delete this. You may need it as evidence later, as Ipsy sends out hundreds of thousands — possibly millions — of packages each month & mistakes do occasionally get made. It’s not a big deal if this happens; Ipsy customer service is among the most reliable for beauty box subs.)

You may also choose NOT to choose (I believe the specific option is “pick for me”), which means that you may receive none, one, or some of the Choice items. You can also choose not to choose by not logging in to Ipsy on Choice Day, lol.

The IpsyMatch algorithm uses your choice, your beauty preference profile, & past product ratings to match you with a bag that contains your Choice item. Even if choose not to choose, you will not receive a bag hand-tailored to you with the 5 best items that fit your profile. Ipsy has a finite number of pre-set bag variations, and that is what the algorithm matchs you to — the entire bag variant as a set of products, not to individual products. Some people choose not to choose because they want IpsyMatch to match them to the “best possible bag” for their profile, & not to “the best possible bag containing Product X” available.

One of my favorite things about Choice Day is that it’s also Flash Sale day! After you make your choice, you’ll be redirected to a sale page where you can shop $5 sample duos or larger bundles that contain mostly samples from previous boxes. (The Flash sale actually tends to go up late the night before Choice, so you can even shop before, if you want.)

I’m not sure about Sunday Riley specifically being a Choice item, but if you’re REALLY determined to find out, you can look back at MSA posts for choice day + reveal day for the past several months & compare how often Ipsy offered SR as a choice vs how many months SR was sent out in bags.

Hope this helps!

Thank you so much. Your information was incredibly helpful for a newbie. Stay safe!

They pick a day each month for choice and then you go in to your account and they give you some options to choose …..its always different, but the last time Sunday riley was in the plus and ultimate they allowed us to choose it….you never really know until the day if and your looking at it

I really like the bag itself. As for the shadows, I hope there’s a palette rather than singles, but I’ll take what I get. I have that Playa spray, probably from Ipsy, but I do like it. I wouldn’t be mad to have more.

None of these excite me, but the bag is cute. If one of the choices on selection day looks awesome tome, I’ll consider it a good month.

I’m thinking of skipping July.

I have a Luna oil I haven’t tried yet, I have a sample of the mascara I haven’t tried yet, the rest of the skincare I’m meh on, and while I’d like to try the Playa product, I could just buy some.

I would like to get the eyeshadow in purple, but I could just get that, too.

The Luna oil is amazing especially if you’re using retinol in your skin care routine. Its a great product. As far as the mascara, you cant have too much of it since they need to be replaced often 🤷🏻‍♀️

I am using prescription retinol so don’t quite need the luna’s weaker retinol but I LOVE the smell of this oil that I would still pick this if this is a choice. it’s so soothing and perfect aroma therapy right before bed.

Is it expensive to go to a doctor and get retinol?? I use the luna oil and over the counter stuff because I’m never sure a guesstimate cost it would be to go to a doctor and then get a perception of it….I know insurance is different, but dont think mine would cover going “just to go” and I dont know anybody who goes to ask them about it…..

You can buy retinol wholesale online to make cosmetics with…..not sure why people are going to the doctor for this…..buy it wholesale and add it to your favorite moisturizer…..I doctor up all my moisturizers….

There’s services like Dermatica, ForHers that offer Tretinoin mixed with niacinamide or there’s MintRx that offers obagi and other brands Tretinoin. You can find promos for most, MintRx only charges like $20 for the online consult and it’s good for 12-18 mos IIRC. My Obagi Tretinoin comes out to under $30 month since I reorder every few months.

Koreen

My doctor wrote “for acne” on my prescription, and my insurance still doesn’t pay for it. But, I just use a goodRx coupon, and instead of $180 a tube cash price, it is $60-70 right now. The price fluctuates with the coupon every now and then, but i’ve been using it for years and the highest I’ve played was $110, but that was several years ago.
But the tube lasts 3-6 months for me because you should only use enough to barely coat your face. So $ per month is cheaper or equal to over the counter retinol, but much more effective.
I use the tretinoin 0.1% now, but if you are new you should start at 0.25%, and since you have to gradually acclimate your face to it, a tube would probably last closer to the 6 month mark. Watch a you tube video on how to do it and don’t give up. I rarely get any irritation now.
It is expensive to go to the Dr., but I just waited until I saw him for something else and asked. (Like a yearly physical or something, and tell them how important it is to you.) Without insurance a Dr visit was $300 when I didn’t have insurance.
Also you could just use Curology online where you tell a Dr about your skin, what you want, and you can get a custom cocktail with tretinoin for around $30 a month which is affordable to most. My skin looks great 😉, but I’ve also used sunscreen daily for most of my adult life. check it out. I’m 48, but truly it’s worth it. Most people guess I’m 30-35 yrs old.

Pink5

When I was going, the office visit was $130, but insurance covered it because I was having a problem. (Detroit area).

I got the items I was prescribed at a pharmacy, and since I have prescription coverage, I had to pay 20% of the cost. The dermatologist’s office might be able to supply yoo, but I have no idea what that would cost.

Anna

I use prescription Tretinoin every other night but love to use Luna and good genes once or twice a week.
