Ipsy Glam Bag August 2021 – Choice Time

A few of you need a snickers. If you don’t like the website anymore don’t look at it.

Add me to the list of people who are beyond disappointed and frustrated at this point. I have always enjoyed Ipsy choice morning, in particular reading the comments about what other people chose, etc. That of course didn’t happen this time, since this post didn’t go up until around dinner time, looooong after we had all made our choices. And yes, the post isn’t even accurate, so there’s that. To say nothing of the confusion created with the post entitled GBP Choice Time (which isn’t until next week).
I have tried so hard to be patient with the site redesign, and to give the benefit of the doubt whenever possible. I was glad to see some changes made based on reader feedback. And I 1000% understand that the site needs to operate as an income-generating business, and that the sub-box world is changing, so I was fine with changes, even if some new types of posts weren’t things of interest to me personally. But what I don’t understand is why these new things are being posted to the exclusion of the core posts of spoilers, reviews, Ipsy choice day announcements and the like, that are so fundamental to the subscription box world? How hard is it to screen shot the choice items and timely slap them up in a post in the morning?? With these late/inaccurate Ipsy posts, I pretty much have hit my limit.

I’m confused by something. This will be my first month getting Glam Bag X. Yet it’s still offering me a choice for the Glam Bag (I’m skipping Plus, and in my account, it shows I’m getting Glam Bag X instead of regular Glam Bag). I assume I shouldn’t make a choice, because then it would cancel out the Glam Bag X?

I’m new to Ipsy. I signed up last month. When can I customize my selection for August?

Actual Choice items for August:
– TheBalm liquid eye shadow in Rose
– Glow Recipe Avocado eye mask
– Beauty for Real eyeliner in Olive
– Beauty for Real eyeliner in Storm
– Marc Anthony Super Fast leave-in
– SheaBrand lip balm in Original
– Verso cleanser
– Item Beauty Lite Sauce moisturizer
– Pixi blush in Ginger Blossom
– Tynt clear brow gel
– Rodial Dragon’s Blood sculpting gel
– Authentic Beauty Concept hydratee mask
– Lottie London bronzer in Sunburst
– M2U NYC matte liquid lip in Queens
– TonyMoly moisture boost serum
– Eleman eye shadow duo
– Sophia + Mabelle lip oil

So, in addition to MSA incorrectly posting that Glam Bag Plus Choice is open, this post is also wrong. These are not the items that were available in Choice.
