ipsy

I do the annual subscription and have been for about 2 years. I live to get a surprise package every month! I especially enjoy getting the add ons. Every month they offer a few products for $12 or $ 18 that are usually so much more at Sephora or ultra. I have found their customer service helpful and quick to respond when I have an issue with a broken or missing product.

I think I've made my way through all the budget beauty subscription boxes and I've enjoyed them all. I like the variety of products sends out and I also love that they really seem to pay attention to your preferences. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking to expand their makeup collection =)

So the first thing about IPSY is that you get things for a cheaper price. I signed up for the tester-sized monthly glam bag($12 dollars a month I think), the experience was okay. I got 5~6 of tester-sized products. Some of them are good and the others are slightly unnecessary. The experience was not as good as I expected it to be but I think it was fine. I don't think you should sign up for glam bags that consist of full-size products because you probably won't need that much stuff. And expect up to 1/3 of the products to be unnecessary.

BUT THEIR INDIVIDUAL PRODUCTS are amazing! They are so cheap on the website IDK why. Overall a positive experience. Definitely recommend!
You should purchase stuff on the IPSY but reconsider the glam bag. Below is one of my fav orders. Great purchase!

WARNING!:
Once you confirm your order there is no way to CANCEL it. EVEN IF YOU JUST PLACED IT!

I just need to cancel my subscription now because i have cancer and my mom doesn't have no money to take care of me we can barely even eat!

They send out a pretty decent variety of products, though it doesn't always match your profile. What helps more than your profile are your reviews; if you always rate liquid lipsticks pretty high they will probably send them pretty often, for example.

The thing I like about ipsy is that it's a good way to try out different brands/products/formulas. There's a mix of drugstore brands like NYX, higher-end brands (though these are more often sample or deluxe sample size rather than full size) and indie brands like colourpop. I've gotten things I wouldn't have bought (or even heard of) otherwise that I ended up loving. And even if I get a dud item now and then it's only $10 per month with a product value a lot higher than that, plus cute makeup bags.

I love getting my bag every month. My skin has never looked better getting to try all these great products. My biggest complaint is I thought the end of tear mystery bag would be fun. Well it wasn't. 3 of the 5 things in it are items I just got over last couple months and reviewed that I did not like. So now I have items in double and I hate them. They should make sure that they either send an item you may not have tried or atleast items you liked. I am very very unhappy with this bag. So the monthly bags are fun and mostly picked with what you may like but the "favorites of 2019" as an example sucks. Hated 4 out of the 5 things, only 1 thing is something I need to try. I hope that tiny jar of moisturizer is worth the extra $14 I spend on what will be garbage because I hated it the first time.

I have gotten Ipsy subscriptions for years. I really like the selection and all the new brands I found and was able to try before purchasing. They have a few different subscriptions each month I get the glam bag it's about 13 a month and glam bag plus I believe is 30 a month. They also have a glam x every 3 months or so you don't get the glam bag plus and that month you are charged about 50 they have a curator for each of the boxes every 3 months I did it once and it was Kholie Kardashian got some great products. Missing a few items and the shipping was delayed so I canceled glam x. I really love the brands I've gotten over the months.

I subscribed to the normal glam bad subscription and I loved it WAY better than the Sephora bag. I had the Sephora bag for about a year and the stuff started to repeat itself. I had three shades of the same lipstick that I never used and the products just weren't pleasing me anymore. I switched to Ipsy and the glam bag is MUCH better. I'm not too much for veering away from what I like meaning I wear the same makeup pretty much everyday, but if I find something in the glam bad I like, I'll opt for the full sized product. If you like sampling different products at a low price every month, I suggest Ipsy for you. Now, why did I give it 4 stars instead of 5? Probably because some of the products can be found at cheap drug stores such as Walmart, Walgreens, etc. However, as long as no more than 1 of the products in the glam bag are cheap, I have no problem with that. The way I look at it, if I like the makeup enough and I'm willing to buy it (which I don't do often) why not go the cheap route if it makes it that much easier?

The glam bag was always on time and very cute. Both my daughter and I were able to share the items and try out various things. She was able to discover foundation, lotion, and lip glosses that she really liked. I found a killer eye liner I love. It has been a fun way to let her experiment with products at much reduced costs, do something fun together, and find products we might not otherwise try at the full size-full price option. I think THIS is really where ipsy shines. We did monthly for 4 months and now do every other month (purely do to budgeting reasons, not because we were unhappy with the products). I would and HAVE recommending IPSY to other moms of teens for this very reason. It's a great value with walmart prices for sample items of name brands products (one sample lotion lasted over a month and we will definitely buy the full size!)

Four months so far without transaction problems. They do hit the card a while before they ship. I have had one item missing from a mailer. They use bubble mailers that have self adhesive. The company mailed a replacement. That is good service considering these are inexpensive samples. Not canceling yet as most products are higher quality. I don't participate in the social media they make a big part of earning extra free stuff. The rewards don't tempt me.

The good: I've been using ipsy for over 4 years. I enjoy receiving my bag every month. Here and there, I don't like some of the products, but that's okay because I signed up to try new things and they can't please everyone. Occasionally some eyeshadow comes cracked, but I assume that happens in shipping and don't blame ipsy. I find a lot of value in the full size products that I get and actually like, because sometimes when you break it down, you're paying $5 for a luxury $155 face cream, etc.

The bad: The app is terrible and hasn't been updated in years, that I've found. When you order products through the app, it crashes a lot and you have to start over. There is no "back" button so if you take a wrong turn when perusing the app, you need to go back to the home page and start again. When you actually are successful, the shipping costs are very expensive and take a long time in processing and shipping.

The worst: They don't publish any customer support phone numbers or emails. On the app, it says to contact them on social media, but their facebook messenger account is turned off so you can't contact them. They now have a virtual assistant that doesn't even do anything. It looks like if you have any problems, they are an impenetrable fortress and you're on your own.

I'm fairly new to Ipsy, referred by my daughter. My daughter loves it and I so far love it too. I had questions to the company about my daughters referral link that I forgot to use and they responded within 24 hours of my inquiry. Plus, after speaking with my daughter they have indeed gave her the points for referring me. I would say that their response time was fairly quick considering how this company has grown and in my opinion is considered GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE. I have had no problems with them and I will continue receiving their products.

I have been with ipsy through some growing pains. They have always had some issues with customer service and I think that is a trend I have seen with some if not most companies.

It seems no one has a phone or customer service. Email becomes one source or social media. I believe through reviews Ipsy has greatly improved its support and response time has been better.

The good is getting new products that are curtailed to your likes mostly and can seemly be one of the few subscriptions to do it to a point. If you can spare 12.00 - I think it is a fun extra and way to try new products without spending the major bucks on ones you are throwing away because they don't work or just don't like.

The bad is NOT getting what you ordered, email back and forth with customer service, and at times getting duplicates.

Out of all of them - IPSY has most of the time good. I give them credit for doing a pretty good job! :D

I'm in my 3rd month of an Ipsy subscription. The first month I received both the Glam Bag and Glam Bag Plus. I was extremely pleased with the variety and quality of all the products that I received, although I canceled the regular Glam Bag subscription because I feel that the more expensive options are worth it in the long run since you get full size products. Last month I received the Glam Bag X. I was thrilled with all the products that I received and I loved being able to pick more than half of the items myself. I'm really looking forward to receiving this month's Glam Bag Plus (March 2022) because I love what I was able to add on in addition to the Bag. The only criticism I have of the experience is that the shipping sucks! It takes too long and the notifications are non-existent. At some point I may just back off to getting the Glam Bag X quarterly. But I'm still building up my beauty stash so I'm keeping both for now. I'm a very happy customer!

Each month I get my Ipsy bag and find wonderful products. I have not found a sample I don't like. The cosmetic bags are cute. I will be buying many of the products. Thanks for showing what will be in my monthly bags and sending them out on time every month. I'm 62 years old and still love my makeup.

I have no real issues with this site and their products. I just don't know if the products justify the price though. Some of the items are just so-so for the price. My neighbor ended up subscribing and checked off different choices than I had for my Ipsy bag. So when the bag came in a couple of months ago, we both did an "unveiling" together to see what we got and to swap, if inclined. Although her choices on her profile were very different than mine (she opted for more skin preserving and maintenance for older skin items), We almost had identical bags and that seemed to be the trend for the next several months. On average, it appeared that her bag would have up to two different items than mine, and they weren't necessarily in line with aging skin. I think that the profile quiz is more of an exercise and not so much an effort to tailor items to individual needs. I will continue for a bit longer, but because of the COVID finance issues, I will probably cancel that subscription as well.

I don't usually have time to go shopping at the mall so it's nice to find an online shop that has most of my preferred makeup brands. I may not be familiar with many of the brands there, but it's good to know I have more options in the future.

I got 4 bags total. The only reason I un-subscribed is because I'm in supply with the products! Customer care responded quickly when I wanted to cancel. I always received my bags on time with a mixture of items varying from face creams, scrubs, eye shadow, lipstick/lipgloss, brush, perfume, nail polish, etc. If you use make-up often, this will be fun for you and is worth the $10. I don't understand why many people are putting IPSY on BLAST. If you want better quality products, then shop for them somewhere else. Don't expect that Smashbox will be in your bag every month. Overall, it's worth trying! :)

I have read a lot about the social media requirement before getting off the waitlist. I refused to subject my information and that of my friends to this service, so I emailed them and told them I didn't appreciate being "wait-listed" as a form of social media blackmail. They responded quickly, removed me from the waitlist promptly and I have been receiving an Ipsy bag for the past 5 months. I love it. I think for 10 bucks it is fun to get and the items are enough to decide if you like something or not. (in most cases.)

Give it a try...

The last 2 months I have not received my Ipsy. What is going on? Money taken from my bank but no glamor bags. Have been with Ipsy over a year now, but am ready to cancel now. And get a refund

I have had Ipsy for over a year. Its gotten better with every bag. I pretty much like everything I get. At least 95% of the time. I do the reviews every month so I continue to get items I like. Only thing kinda going down hill are the points and selection of the items for redeeming points seem to run out way to fast now but other than that (that's why I have 4 out of 5 stars)... Its not that bad. I don't mind some stiff being small. I do get one or two full sized products each month. You get discounts on brands each month, they offer lots of giveaways each month... I don't plan to cancel any time soon. I have dealt with their customer service and I didn't have any issues. They answered all my questions and replaced my missing glam bag when it got lost in the mail. No questions asked. I'm still pretty happy with Ipsy and will continue to be a customer.

I would like to give Ipsy an AMAZING customer service review! They are soo understanding! In the last 3 months I've been having trouble with my mail receiving it through the USPS. I missed out 3 months of Ipsy and I reach out to tell them what was going on with my mail. They understood. Ipsy sent me out 3 months of what i missed out due to USPS messing up my mail. That was soo nice of them and I really do appreciate it! Thank you!

I read reviews seen youtubers and they all had something negative to say I thought o would get lotions and shampoos no make up but all I got was glam products that I liked trying and my shade was on point I'm sorry for the people who are dissatisfied with yours but as long as mine stays on the make up I'll love it great job ipsy! Loved my bag far as products go the liquid lipstick was streaky but beautiful color the liner was wonderful except the color it could have been darker the lip balm was not for me the tart bronzer I loved no complaints there and the brush was wonderful it worked great so soft and firm just how I like them thank you so much can't wait to see next months bag.
