I’ve been a subscriber to glam bag since last January. Starting November I added on glam bag plus. Will I get to choose items for my bag? I haven received notifications about this yet?

I wish we had gotten the option to buy just the bag from the Ultimate for October. I really was hoping to get one.

I really dislike the drawstring bags. I want a makeup bag like the other 2 subs are getting.

Not a big fan of this one. I knew right away when my face did that “I Love Lucy” “Eeewww!” thing. lol I like the blue in the drawstring bag (I get Glam Bag Plus) but not excited about the other colors at all. The last one was amazing in my opinion. In comparing the last zipper set/design that suddenly got smaller I’ll take the not so pretty version once in a while so no big deal. Nice gift bags, travel bags, etc.

I thought i was going to hate the drawstring bags. I thought they would all be just a pink bag with a different colour logo. Now i am a huge fan. October bags were my favourite ever. I put all my yet to use items in the bags. Eventually I will have one for each…cleansers,primers,moisturizers and serums etc etc
I also love that the GBP now fits in my mailbox so I don’t have to go to the post office to pick it up.
As for the November bags. Cute in a 1970s reboot via Rachel Zoe way. She’d call these vegan leather and say the retail value is $128 for the small, one lol

I am ok with string bags but the quality of bag really poor. I did not like August and October bag but liked the September bag. Also why the products of Glam bag plus mostly contain unknown brands whereas glam bag contains know and famous brands. I changed my membership from glam bag to glam bag plus because I thought I would get full sized products of known brands but it doesn’t seem so.

I wish the regular bag was just a smaller of the ultimate, because the ultimate matches my favorite sweater, but I’m not getting the ultimate just for that.

Same. I just paused my Glam Bag Plus subscription and may cancel. I’m mostly here for the bags, and the drawstrings aren’t cutting it.

Agree. And I really hate my products now getting crushed in envelope shipping.

My most favorite ipsy bag design yet!

I don’t love these, but I don’t hate them either. It just occurred to me that they’re nice and understated, kind of “professional” looking. Like, if I had it out on my table at a conference with pens in it, it would fit right in. As opposed to, say, my Gudetama bag. LOL.

Depends on the people at the conference honestly :p

I love the colors and designs. They have a very vintage hip look.

I usually don’t really care about the bags since I give most of them away, but these are bad lol.

Oooh! I love the colors and the clean simplicity of this bag. I’m not normally one to keep my Ipsy bags, but October and November are both keepers! 😍

This was released 9/22…what happened to this site?

MSA almost always reveals the next month’s bags on the 1st

Maybe MSA released the spoilers on the first of the month for a reason? If there’s a lot of Ipsy posts over a couple of days, folks like me get confused, lol.

Really? Where were they released on 9/22? I know this site is behind on a LOT of things, but I haven’t seen these anywhere else until today.

I like the regular bag and the spoilers for it. I will probably skip plus again.

I know some people like the drawstring bag, but I wish it would move around to the other subscriptions (Bag and Ultimate). I don’t care for them at all, and I really dislike getting one every month.

I completely agree! We (GBPlus) were the guinea pigs, now “share the love” with the other types. I’d gladly take a GB sized bag sometimes, or an ULTIMATE sized bag (LOL like that’s ever going to happen)…but the other two bags for November are sturdy, leather/pleather….and the GBPlus is flimsy fabric, again. I really like the other two, very sharp looking, very AUTUMN…but the GBPlus bag is “fake”

I agree….share the love!!! Those drawstrings are awful!

I find all of these despicably ugly…but I am used to ugly Ipsy bags, so I rarely add their existence to the value of the contents. In fact, although I have received damaged bags in the past, the only one that I have ever been upset about arriving damaged was the recent holo one.

Im in love with these new drawstring bags. They are perfect for organizing things (if you get wall plugs from bath and body works, i store my extras in one of these drawstring bags) and they are perfect for little storage in my car and whatnot. Novembers bags are super cute! and the spoilers for everything are looking awesome as well

Mine too, what ugly bags, the color combos are so blah and boring. Scorpios deserve better!
Reply

We Scorpios do deserve better! I wish they had placed the zodiac signs on October instead of makeup icons. Those cheapened the bag significantly. The Plus bag would have been better with ivory as the top color.

My birthday month, too. When I first saw them, a couple days ago, I was hoping they would grow on me. Now, I do actually like the Plus bag! Thankfully.
I still don’t care for the U bag, but I cancelled that awhile back, so no biggie.
The October bags would have been great for us Scorpios!

All three are very cute. I especially like the Glame Plus drawstring bag.
