Once again. This company will keep billing you long after you try to cancel. Over charge you as well. When you do cancel they will wait until they can charge you 1 or 2 more times before they will stop. WORST COMPANY EVER DEALT WITH.

******* MASSIVE SCAMMERS *******

Stole my money!
February 13, 2019

If there was a zeo, they would receive a zero! I ordered my first Glam bag on Jan. 16th, 2019 and they quickly took $10.65 for it at that time. It is now almost a month later and still have never recived my Glam bag. I tried logging into my acct on ipsy and everyway i tried to enter my acct was not allowed. I then went to *******@ipsycare and 3 times started a conversation and never got any replies from them. I want my money back and this account canceled immediately! (If i can ever get in touch with them!) i dont have a photo of anything (except an empty mailbox)

Dont do it
March 19, 2021

Bag never comes or when it does it's a month late
Always an excuse
Customer service never gets back to you
Not worth it
Always the same product and things I said I don't like
One month was 3 eyeshadows
Another month liquid eyeliner I said I don't use

I've been trying to cancel my subscription, but it is impossible to talk to them and cancel it, and they keep sending stuff that I no longer want and charging my credit card!
I am very unhappy!

Terrible.
January 12, 2017

Reading some of these reviews it blows my mind that people obviously dont understand the whole point of ipsy. You get SMALL TRIALS. That's what Ipsy does... Send TRIALS(which happen to be TRIAL size...) So those of you who are dissapointed about the amounts you are receiving need to research what Ipsy actually is.

That doesn't change the fact that they have terrible customer service. My shipping date is constantly changing. I got a tracking number and when I tried tracking it, USPS tells me the tracking number I was provided isn't correct. When I email customer service about it, they obviously didn't read the message and proceeded to provide me with the same tracking info. Then they tell me it should arrive by the end of the month even though originally it was supposed to come on the 11th.
They have you fill out a profile... But for what? I say that I hate liquid eyeliner... So they send me liquid eyeliner every month?
My family and friends spoke so highly about ipsy so I am extremely disappointed with the products and especially their customer service.

Hi Beth, I'm so sorry to hear you've had a negative experience with ipsyCare. If you are still having trouble with your package, please send another email and request a manager so we can help. In the meantime, I'd be happy to clarify shipping and product selection.

When we hand your package off to our shipping partners, we don't have control over how long your Glam Bag is in transit or final delivery. The estimated delivery date provided by USPS or FedEx is just an estimate, and can change over time, especially this time of year when weather conditions are poor. We stand by the quality of service of our shipping partners, and always offer a free replacement if your Glam Bag doesn't make it to you. Also, if it's been over 14 business days in transit, we offer a free replacement as well.

Apologies that you're receiving too many eyeliners! We have an exciting new feature that ipsyCare can help set up for you to make sure our system strives to omit eyeliners. Please contact ipsyCare to request this, and one of our representatives will be happy to assist.

I've tried cancelling this for a YEAR. I've had to change my banking account 3x and file chargebacks. The site does not give you an option to cancel forever, they only will let you cancel for 3 months and I've been informed by the bank that they subscribe to a list they get from Visa/Mastercard that will update your NEW information so they can keep charging you. Not only that, they don't even send the PRODUCT out once they've gotten your new bank info by stealth. THEY ARE PREDATORY AND NEED TO BE PROSECUTED.

The lipstick was the perfect color, and I had never used a highlighter before, but went to the website to learn how to use it... It is great! Looking forward to the May bag!

Buyer Beware
September 7, 2021

I ordered a bag last month. I was charged immediately and it took over 3 weeks to get to me. I was then charged for a "refreshment" of 14.06 besides the cost of the original bag. I NEVER ordered a "refreshment" which consisted of face wipes and a small lotion. There's no customer service number to call and because it was on a debit card I couldn't even dispute it. NEVER AGAIN WILL I DO BUSINESS WITH THIS SHADY COMPANY.

Missing shipments. No one answers questions about missing shipments or where the shipment is. Terrible customer service. The shipments take 3 weeks at a time or longer.

I used to be an Ipsy subscriber when I lived in the US for a short period of time but switched to Allure Beauty Box. Now I moved to Canada and discovered that Ipsy is the only thing of that kind is delivered to Canada. Here my adventure started. I subscribed in the beginning of July and got an email that I'm gonna receive my first glam bag in the middle of August. Ok, long wait but fine. When the time came, I didn't received anything. The delivery status on Canada post was delivered' but when I went through FAQ on the website it said that for some reason they mark delivered before the actual delivery so I should wait 24 hours. After 24 hours I contacted customer service and after another couple of days of texting back and forth I got an email that my accommodation package is on the way. It was on August 22th. Today is September 3rd and according to the tracking info that parcel still in North Carolina. What the heck?! I contacted customer service again and they told me to wait til sept 6th. So here I am, already been charged for the next month and still have nothing. If it's gonna happen every month, screw it.
