Meet the 22 New Brands Coming to Ipsy

When Ipsy forms a relationship with a brand, we tend to see multiple products over time in various tiers, add-ons and in shopper. It isn’t typically just one product and done. I get the impression that the majority that wanted GBX got in on May’s box as well- haven’t seen any complaints of people on the waitlist who didn’t get it yet. So if people want access to the brands in GBX, they most likely could get it if they signed up before billing. This is just one month we’re looking at. And yeah, if you want access to top tier brands and sought after products, you typically have to shell out more money to get it- it’s the way of the world.

Same, I still haven’t received my April bag, supposedly it will be here on the 8th. Very disappointing.
Totally understand shipping times vary because of covid, but mine didn’t even SHIP until April 30th. You would think they would get it together a bit, Covid has been going on for over a year.

I didn’t write the post, so I can’t say what she meant. I can tell you what I perceive.

It seemed to me back when Liz was running this site that there were more exclusive spoilers and inside info here than there are now.

That could be because Liz had better connections. Or it could just be that the sub market is changing so much that the excitement has greatly diminished. Could that even be why Liz moved on?

It’s like which came first, the chicken or the egg? I don’t know who’s to blame here but subs have lost their luster in a lot of cases, which doesn’t look great for this site.

On another note, it does seem like a lot of cool subs are gone or watered down, and that is definitely not MSA’s fault. The Golden Age has ended.

Wow.. using BLM in this way. Girl’s really got the nerve. That and the past history of fake brand attempts should make a pretty good lawsuit.

Not cool. I got the liner duo as a $3 add-on, so not the end of the world, but that’s shady.

I’m guessing the liner duo was so cheap since Boxycharm was selling the Saint Luxe liners (not sure the same shades?) like a year ago – so it’s probably cheap, almost expired overstock.

But the Saint Luxe website is really selling the “female, black owned” angle hard, sometimes in ALL-CAPS. It’s unfortunate because the scams make it harder for people with legit businesses they’ve worked hard to establish to get any traction.

Also, ipsy’s website says “BASIC BEAUTY is a Black-owned indie brand”. Could it be a different ‘Basic beauty’?

Gosh, this is infuriating! Got the basic beauty primer in my reg bag this month… ugh! and I didn’t know about Saint Luxe either. This is indeed ridiculous and unethical. Didn’t Ipsy just announce they’re blocking ‘bad’ ingredients, now they’re back to shady brands/suppliers, how to trust them? Anyways, thank you for letting us know.

I didn’t get anything on that list, so yah…just some crazy tiny skincare samples.

Right? Thought a lot of them looked familiar 🤔

I was thinking the same. They are not so much coming as they are here. MSA is just silly now
