It figures they’d jack it up once they finally got a basic black & cohesive theme.
Since I’m not into the mystical/celestial/astrological vibe or imagery… these get three thumbs down👎🏽👎🏽👎🏽 from me.
I’ll see what the product spoilers are before making a final decision on what to snag/skip.
I’m a creative artist & a seamstress so my mind already has already come up with a classier redesign for the trio.

I got my daughter a membership Just yesterday for plus and it would not let her customize or buy any add ons and she doesn’t get the same bag as the rest of us. Hers will be a pink bag with lipsticks all over it. It was very disappointing to us.

ipsy is always very upfront that you can only customize if you joined the month before. They never hide that. Disappointment is not warranted here. Should have gotten her the membership in the last week of August.

Came here for the silly comments on recommendation of a friend. Was not disappointed.
Today I learned that eyeballs and tiny makeup drawings are “demonic” and “evil”. I now have better insight to the 1692 mindset. 😂😂😂🤣

I just find it ugly, no other connotations. The bag will be trashed and the products in it will be enjoyed. I really like this new “choose three” format.

Lol yeah definitely nothing evil about these bags. People need to do some actual research before screaming evil for no reason. I get not liking the bags but saying they are evil for absolutely no reason is ridiculous. I love these bags and want all 3

It could have something to do with influencers raving about how much they love the bag because to them it speaks wiccan, witchcraft, spells, and magic. Just saying each side has something to say..
Alice
Yep. It’s the Eye of Providence. Most people don’t understand the symbol. I don’t believe most were saying the makeup icons were ‘demonic’ or ‘evil’. I, for one, just don’t care for the makeup icons on my bag. I would have preferred a plain black bag with the celestial zipper pulls. It would have been so classy.

These bags will be disposed of. Im more interested in seeing what products are coming . This may be the time for me to scoot on out.
Reply
Beth
I don’t like the bags either. However I don’t get Ipsy for the bags. I sub for the products. If I like the bags, that’s like a cherry on top. If I don’t like them, I pass them along to someone who does or donate them. To “dispose” them…how wasteful!

Or instead of throwing them away you could donate them to a women’s shelter or other organization.

I’m laughing so hard at people’s “shocked” reactions at the design! The only things on the bag that don’t have anything to do with MAKEUP are a *heart, the *moon, and a *star. Give me a BREAK! A lot of other bags have eyes on them, or hearts or stars..OR MOONS…it’s a bag. If it was yellow, or red, or PINK, nobody would think twice.
Calm down people. It’s a makeup bag.
sheesh

I agree, I’m surprised anyone is freaking out over it. I like all of these and LOVE that it’s black! Last September, or 2018 I think, also had eyes on it with lashes. I mean really… where do we put most of this makeup?! Eyes and lips on a bag make sense to me! Lol

I would like a black bag with a big pentagram and words that say, “I am Satan, God of Ipsy.” 😈😹🙄😸 Now THAT could be a little much for people, but the moon, the eye and the star?? Give me a break. I would seriously love a bag that had cats and dachshunds. All the time. Just cats and dachshunds.
Shari
These are really cute! I think people who are into the conspiracy theory about the seeing eye, the Illuminati, Freemasons, and all that, may see evil. Coming from a long line of Freemasons, it’s not my belief. This bag is really fun, and has a mystic vibe.

These bags are real cute! I usually do not care about the bags, but this design is calling my name.

Oh hell no on that bag design! To each their own, but that’s just not something I want around. That being said, I’m not the one who has the job of designing 12 GlamBags a year and trying to please everyone. I think ipsy does a great job at it. This one just isn’t for me.
Reply

They probably design about 200-300 bags per year and choose from a huge quantity – they don’t only design the 12 that are actually used. It’s probably many many people’s jobs just to design these bags.

I do not like the bags at all and the bags influence if I skip or not. Will probably get plus and skip the others.

Way too new age religion for me. SO glad I skipped Ultimate this month.

Yes, black! But the pics of lipstick, mascara, etc cheapens the look… We get it, it’s a beauty sub! Should have just had fun with it and gone full black magic.
Reply
Alice
Exactly what I said. The makeup icons ruin the design. It should have been completely mystic/astro.
Reply
Stephanie
YES that would’ve been amazing! I’m a little bummed it’s all beauty products (design-wise) although I understand not doing that probably would’ve caused a lot of people to skip. It’s still my favorite bag so far, but I’d be all about the black magic design.

Unfortunately there’s been a ridiculous degree of pushback over a couple of very cute designs in the past, I’m honestly surprised that they went ahead with this design, which I really like. I’m assuming it’s another instance of the loudest contingent not being big enough to actually effect the market.
Reply
Angel
I totally agree, Alana! I wish they wouldn’t have used the makeup pictures. I love these bags though; they’re SO much better than the terrible summer bags! The black and gold is beautiful, and the star and moon charms are amazing. I used to get all 3 Ipsy bags, but cancelled ultimate a while back because I didn’t feel like the value was there to justify the $50 price tag. But I’m tempted to get ultimate in Oct just for the bag lol. Hopefully they have some good spoilers to help me make up my mind!

they sell the bag on its own in the add ons if thats all that interests you…if you dont want the products..

I really like these bags. I wish I could purchase just the bag from the Ultimate to match my Ipsy GB and GB Plus.

Me too. The Ultimate bag is very cute.

I agree. People are freaking out over nothing, it’s makeup, with an eye. There’s nothing religious, pagan or occult about it. It’s makeup, if you don’t like makeup, why are you subscribing to Ipsy?
JennGwen
and if they don’t have it, you could always go the eBay route. I’ve gotten a few bags that way.
For the record. I love these
