IPSY: Personalized Beauty Reviews

by Lovelygrasshopper

Having worked in customer service most of my life in have never seen a worse set up. I signed up in April so excited to get to try new products and experiment with new looks. I didn’t receive my bag and I was a little frustrated but I know that with the world the way it is right now companies are kinda at a loss because no one can rely on delivery companies. But I reached out and was sent a replacement and I received it but then my May bag was out side of the window. So I let them know about the May bag and was sent a replacement. I canceled my subscription and IPSY tells me I have nothing left on my account. I verified with customer service that I would no longer be getting anything from them because I’m just done at this point. And then received my June bag. My May bag was sent but never moved so when it fell out of the 15 business days I reached out again and they sent another. Fast forward, it’s now August 2 I still do not have my May bag AND I was charged for July and August and customer service is insisting that they can’t do a refund but they can assure me that I will not be charged anymore. I was assured I would not be charged as of June 11 when I was told that I no longer had any subscriptions associated with my account. This is honestly ridiculous and so gross.
Do better. And stop using the state of the world as an excuse for your companies failures. Just fess up and fix it.

Sincerely

Honestly i used to like this app a lot. I’ve only had this subscription for 4 months yet there’s so many problems i can list. First of all, shipping takes FOREVER, you forget that you even had a subscription. And they send you products you’ve never heard of. When you take the quiz, you get really excited because they make it seem like you’re actually going to get these awesome products! They even made you choose your favorite company’s such as maybelline, MAC, glossier, loreal, etc. INSTEAD, they give you products you’ve never heard of before! I gave it not 2, but FOUR try’s and haven’t gotten any products i’m familiar with. Also, they never said you were going to get samples. i had to learn the hard way when it came through the mail. Two of the products were so tiny, it looked like a barbie toy. I’m not satisfied because they give you items that you said you would rarely use. Also, sometimes they charge you 14 dollars instead of 13 , and they won’t answer the emails to tell you why! It also feels like they’re constantly trying to take money from you. If you cancel they’ll tell you how sad they are to see you go and you’ll get a free gift if you join again. Sounds like a manipulative relationship to me! I’m tired of getting emails to promote their products and make you spend more money then you already have! I don’t like leavjng bad reviews, but there’s so many bad things about this app i’m a little disappointed.

So I started this app around February of this year. First experience first order yk it was good. It wasn’t until March came and I had order a glam bag and a glam bag plus. They had sent me my glam bag but but not my glam bag plus which I was really mad at 😒. I emailed and emailed and even texted this app on insta and no help was solved. They even took my money for my glam bag plus but I didn’t even get my item. Then came around July or august I had bought a marbled farah brush which was like an add on. In that add on it came with 2 brushes. They gave me my marbled brush and then another brush that WASNT even nowhere near the pic which was like a buffing brush instead I got a brush that was completely different which I already had. So I tend to forget about it the 2nd problem I had and, now the last problem I’m currently having There is this thing where you can redeem your points for free items which I did I had redeemed a brush back in October. It is called LR199 shadow brush in the brand Laruce Beauty. They had mentioned that my redeemed item was going to be shipped in my next bag which is this month (December) since I had skip my last month bag. (November) I waited and since my December bag came my redeemed item didn’t come in it like it was supposed to. I really really love this app but because of all this experiences Ive been having from you guys you have truly lost a customer and I will never be shopping back here again.

I have several issues with this app lately. I feel like when I first started they gave me pretty high quality items and the promised “two full-sized items”. Now however not only have I gotten more and more off-brand and low quality items but it’s getting harder and harder to tell what items are supposed to be “full-sized” when they’re all starting to look like travel/sample sized items. I also feel like the beauty preference quiz is a joke because most of the items I get don’t seem to match my answers from the quiz. Another, albeit smaller but,I feel important issue is that appears all the newer bags are much more plain and uninspired in design. Okay, now these are just my concerns with the products themselves, I haven’t even begun to touch on IPSY . Ever since the new update it has become EXTREMELY hard to use. It glitches often and very much puts an emphasis on their shop instead of your subscription. Anytime IPSY glitches it directs you to the shop, or anytime you open it, or click on something, anything. It’s really sad to see this company become so money hungry that it doesn't seem to care about the basis on which they started on. IPSY is all about spending additional cash and if you really want the items you crave you’ll have to shell out the additional funds. Sorry for the long rant, I truly hope these issues are resolved over time.

this app is great! I LOVE getting samples of beauty products I’ve never heard of before. The prices are reasonable and the products are very cool. I do have some huge issues with IPSY, however, and I find it to be lacking in the User Experience and Interface department. First, there’s no back arrow. I am constantly having to find where I left off or what page I was just on. Second, there is no way to fix/ change past reviews. I find I’ve changed opinion on some as I continue to use the product. Third, there is no way to favorite/ categorize the products you really liked. This idea may help boost sales, since consumers will have all their favorite beauty products that they’ve used and had success with saved in one app where they can buy them too. I’d like to be able to remember what products I loved in order to buy in the future. With all this being said, I would like to thank you for the great experience I had with customer service. I emailed them with an issue and not only were they quick to fix the problem, but they were super nice and efficient. In all I am happy with the idea but frustrated sometimes while using IPSY . Pros outweigh the cons in my opinion so I’m remaining loyal to this app!

i loved this when i first started using this. got all sorts of products i wasn’t aware of, learned about how to all those different kinds of products, learned what really wasn’t for me and it was literally like Christmas every month getting new and exciting things. the novelty quickly wore off when i first started receiving duplicate products. a certain mascara one month and then the same mascara again the next month. this happened with several different kinds of products multiple times in my two years of subscribing with them. i tried changing my personalized settings every month in hopes it would help but then they changed their personalized settings from what you don’t want to how often you use each product. that’s when i started receiving all sorts of products i absolutely did not want because you could only rate each type of product at Often, Sometimes, or Rarely. i never use lipstick, not i use it rarely so i was constantly sent chapsticks and lipsticks. i can’t use a lot of moisturizers and face products because my skin is so sensitive and now that’s all that they sent me. the amount of products i was sent every month that i didn’t want/or would not use is when i decided to cancel my account.

Love IPSY and I’ve gotten 2 glam bags and 1 glam bag plus so far and I’ve absolutely adored everything I’ve gotten! I’m a mom of 4 daughters so this is MY treat to myself every month or sometimes more than one a month lol! We deserve to feel good about ourselves and it’s not selfish to splurge $12 on something that will boost your confidence, introduce you to new products and to a whole lot of women just like you! I only gave 3 stars bc while I LOVE this app, the products they send me, I honestly feel their customer can’t be topped but IPSY 🤦🏽‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️ gives me sooooo much frustrations! Sometimes it will just kick me off and in the middle of the night when I’m up bc my kids have woken up and can’t go back to sleep IPSY won’t work at all for maintenance reasons and I get it’s easier to do that at 3 am but couldn’t they say our server will be down between ?am and ? Am??? Also whenever for example your shopping for add one and you want to learn more about a product you can’t go back when your done to the page you were originally on, I have to go alllll the way back to their home page and start over and it’s frustrating and doesn’t encourage people to buy anything when they literally have to keep doing all this extra annoying work to order. Other than the few issues with their app I LOVE this app and I promise you will too

I saw this app advertised on Facebook and thought it would be a really nice beauty box service, I downloaded IPSY and subscribed. Immediately after subscribing I was told that I was on a “waitlist” and that if I wanted off I would have to send emails to 3 of my contacts in my email. I don’t have contacts since I use my emails for social media and signing up for websites and things like this app. There are only a few options for which email service you can use which are gmail, hotmail, outlook, and yahoo. I use aol so I was out of luck. If getting off of the “waitlist” was as easy as sending 3 emails, why is there a waitlist in the first place? I understand that your app says “we are in high demand, so you’re on our waitlist” but come on, It really isn’t fair for people who are unable to send the emails to easily bypass the “waitlist” Either advertise your waitlist situation or tell people before they subscribe, don’t wait to tell people that they are going to have to wait to “actually subscribe” until after they have already gone through the process of taking the beauty quiz and giving their payment information. I would like to say that customer service was very responsive and quick to cancel my “waitlist” spot and responded in less than 24 hours which is why my rating is 3 stars instead of one.

I adore pretty much everything about this app. Their products, customer service and their app. It’s very easy to use, full of great content and such a convenient way to manage subscriptions and to shop for beauty products in general. My only major issue is that fairly frequently the back arrow to return to the previous screen disappears so you must then choose from the menu at the bottom and go from there to return to the desired page. This can mean clicking back through several screens and while not super time consuming it is pretty annoying. My only other issue is that in the Shopper section (where I spend far too much time and money) products are sometimes missing part or all of their descriptions. Usually this is only mildly inconvenient as I can just go to the product’s company website but occasionally there are some major blanks. For example, while shopping for Nails, Inc. products over half of the polishes had not only no description, they didn’t even have a name. A few were just labeled “Nail Polish” with a pic but NO other descriptive info (except about the company in general) and some (about half of the 66 polishes) were even called “Shopping Bag.” 😄

To be fair this is the first time I’ve seen this level of missing information but I felt it was worth mentioning. But again, overall it’s a great app I use at least daily and definitely more often than nearly all of my other apps, particularly for shopping and/or beauty products.

I was at my sisters home on vacation in July when I heard of this app for the first time ever! I was intrigued not only by the gorgeous product bags she received with her membership but from what I saw were Quality beauty products as part of her membership. That did it for me and I immediately joined. I for the last four months have been estactic each time I received my monthly products. So...... I decided to go from the regular bag onto the Glam Bag Plus and my gosh I haven’t been disappointed!
Now to the customer service issues I’ve heard via Instagram I can’t so far disagree more with some negative issues regarding the Representatives. I had an issue with not receiving a bag for August due to my changing my address while on vacation. My fault I forgot to change it back to my home. Long story short it does take some time via email response but the two representatives I dealt with thru the email process went above and beyond to resolve the issue. Again I emphasize, My Fault, yet it was immediately resolved by shipping my bag to my home in leu of it already being sent to an out of state address and had not yet been returned to this app! Now that’s Quality all the way around. Not much more can be said about this Gem of a company. Thank You this app!
This is a true and valid account of my experience and I have not been paid to write this review!

TLDR if you’re new to makeup and not sure where to start, start with this app. Save money while you figure out what works for you.

I’ve never used makeup. Maybe once or twice in my life before but it always ended up terrible because I just never knew what was for my face. Plus even though all of my makeup was from the drugstore, it was super expensive to just try and try until I found something that worked for me (which I never did) this app was great at solving these problems. It’s super affordable, I get to try a bunch of brands and a bunch of products, and you can say how comfortable with makeup you are so they send you stuff based on you comfort level and product preference (IE I’ve never gotten Liquid Eyeliner from them, thank God) plus the quiz was great. Every product I got I can say I enjoyed using. Nothing was really wasted because it was all tailored to my preferences. Plus the section where you can just buy products straight from them at an insanely cheap price is a huge plus too has saved me money on stuff I was going to buy anyways like a makeup bag or reusable face wipes. Plus it’s soooo easy to skip a bag or add on to it. 11/10 highly recommend

I've recently just started to get in to makeup, though going in to stores like Ulta and Sephora have always been overwhelming and expensive if you don't know what you are doing. I like this app because it's affordable, fun, and helpful; for just ten dollars a month, every moth they send a themed makeup bag that is different each time with five different items included in it. Typically it's all sample sizes but on occasion they will send full sized product, like this month I got both a full liquid eyeliner pencil and a large matte lipstick which are also really good quality. They carry huge name brands that you'd find in Sephora and Ulta so you're not paying for drugstore makeup, they also give you a detailed multiple choice quiz about the styles and products you like/want to try. When it came to color options I selected "adventurous" since I am the type of person who just wears the same look every time and I wanted to break out of my shell and do more wild cute looks, so far I haven't been disappointed with the colors they've sent me with them being outside my comfort zone.

Tl;dr : I'm really happy my co-worker suggested this to me and it's very exciting to see what surprises they have in store each month.

by LeeTatum

I’d say this app was an amazingly inexpensive yet lavish monthly treat, except I have the tendency to get add-ons every month, and those $3 treats add up. So not as inexpensive as it could be. But for this month’s add-on I got a full-size Sunday Riley bottle of Good Genes for $18!!! Since they retail for around $110, that one add-on deal paid for almost a year of my wonderful $10 monthly this app bags! And so far almost all 5 products have been winners, and I adore the bags! this app really seems to pay attention to my profile and the things I love (eyeliner! eyeshadow!)The few misses have more to do with fragrances because I’m allergic to everything and I’m as pale as death, so a “universal” blush that would work on women with complexions from ivory to ebony are too dark for me. Or trendy purple nail polish is just too young for me. But I love sharing the one or two things that don’t work (unopened, of course) with my younger and/or less corpse bride looking colleagues, so it’s still a win-win. I’d switch to the Glam bag plus but then I’d spend too much each month on fun make up. Last thing, I used to get the competitor (rhymes with Church Fox) but this app is a much better deal.

Yep. That was me. Sitting on the should I check it out to try some new products...yes...no.. fence.
The turning point for me is I’m a huge Bailey Sarian fan and she has mentioned a time or three, about working with this app and in fact because of this, I love when she showcases the monthly bag products and how to use the bag goodies. That was the nudge I needed to sign up and give it a shot. You get to try new products that may be just the item you need and it doesn’t break the bank for this opportunity.
It’s a huge advantage that she is a professional makeup artist. She inspires me to step outta my neutral, two shade color choices. Since I’m new to anything more than just basic foundation and eye application, this contouring business, different eyeshadow looks, tips and tricks she shares, makes applying makeup fun and not so scary. As she says. “It’s just makeup... it washes off.”
So folks, so far I’m loving the intros to new brands and products. I’m looking forward to discovering items that have been on my wish list without having to spend full price for things that just don’t work. I suggest you try it out as well. If you do try and decide... nah, not for me. Just cancel. Easy peasy.

by Sanna12

I really like this app because you get sample size of really great products and especially if you don’t do your make up all the time. If you don’t want to buy large expensive portions of things you get to try products and a lot of things go bad before I even get a chance to finish them. I also don’t always know what to buy and I forget that I need things so it’s already in the house so I don’t have to run out last minute and try to buy something. They send really high-quality top-of-the-line stuff too and I love that you can customize it to your preferences and your skin shading haircolor and all that good stuff. You could also cancel anytime if you decide that it’s not for you but honestly it’s the price of two Starbucks coffees a month and I get make up skin care and hair care samples that are actually pretty large considering. I highly recommend it to people who don’t use a lot of make up and don’t go out that often because that will be enough to last for you. I also recommend it to people who love to buy make up because you can try something and then by the full-size products at a discount if you do decide that you like it.. it’s in all around waiting for me.

by Lulahbel

Not a huge subscription fan but I would and have recommended this one to friends and family. It’s SO fun to get a monthly surprise of fun products to try. The make up/toiletries bag alone is worth it every month. If you are into make up, skin care, hair care, or nail care, there is something for you. You tailor your preferences from the beginning to your interests, skin type, and skin coloring so that you receive items you actually want and that work for your coloring or hair type. I love skin care and make up brushes in particular and always get something to try within those categories on top of new items like highlighters, lip care/color, shadows, mascara, eye liners and more. If I happen to like something I can always get the full size product. It’s nice to try things that maybe I didn’t know about or don’t always have the money to purchase and try. I get a variety of things to try at an amazing price with a cool bag. I even got my 16 year old niece a subscription that she tailored to her own interests. Perfect for that age as well as they are still figuring out what works for them and what they like. Also it’s the gift that keeps on giving as a new bag with 5 new items shows up once a month.

by Scion Friend

A coworker talked me into it. Well, it’s not just makeup. It is skin care, serums, haircare, tools.... so, “I’ll try it.” I said. Two years later... DO NOT GET RID OF MY this app!! In fact, I get the $10 one every month without fail, and opted for the $25 box every other. I love the facial masks and have learned about the foot masks and other fun items because of this app. Highlighters are my friend, who knew. And the price is fantastic. Now the word sample is funny. I have never ran out of an this app nail polish sample, and the lotions include several uses, depending on the brand. Brands.... I found out I love Sol de Dejanaro from a sample and now purchase the full size. I would have NEVER spent that much money on a full size without knowing, I loved it.
And how about the “bag”. Do I love them? No, not all of them. But did bring a nice one to a wedding as a clutch. So cute. Lastly, the infamous shiny envelope!!!!!! Ladies!!! It is Show & Tell time in the office!! My heart warms when I see it. Literally the best $10 spent every month. I will not stop!!!
PS - Through that last two years I see this app has been striving to make it is, what the customers want it to be. They ask for feedback, they listen and make changes. If there is bad feedback in the past, it may not be true still today.

by PixieV3

I absolutely love this app. I’m not a big makeup shopper, I don’t know makeup or skincare products really much at all, but that doesn’t mean that I don’t like them and want to know what’s worth the hype and what isn’t. So I’m just starting out on my makeup and skincare journey, which is where this app is pretty amazing. I love that they send you products to try based on the responses you give them from their skin, hair and makeup questions that they ask you to fill out. I’ve tried a few different products now that have made a tremendous difference in my skin and I’ve tried some makeup that I enjoy SO MUCH MORE than what I’ve been buying. I’m so impressed, my skin has never looked better, and now I have a starting point to explore products I’d never have thought to use before. So now I have ideas where to go and what is the best for my skin, and I so needed that being an older woman. (I’m in my mid 30’s so keeping my skin youthful and healthy is my #1 right now). They also offer discounts every month on products you can read about and add onto your bag before delivery, for a very affordable price, which I’m super into. It’s just honestly the best thing I’ve ever committed to for myself. It’s affordable and honestly just feels so luxurious. Fantastic stuff

by LWoe

I’ve only received 2bags so far, well actually 3 bags but 2months worth of products as my Jan 2021 bag came w/a pink bag as well as the Jan mom’s babyblue and clear “Dream” print bag, but I’ve loved everything so far....My only complaint if you can even call it that is that I wish I could get more things... for example instead of the next tier up being full sized products, what if I could get like 10 of the smaller sized ones OR maybe get a bag every 2 weeks or once a week or maybe both the more items AND more often?lol... I would buy a 2nd,3rd or 4th bag but I fear I’d end up getting repeats of one or more items if I did that, plus I’d imagine they’d all come at or around the same time via that route of getting “more” and I don’t think I’d have the will power to wait to open them every 2 wks or one a week...lol... Oh and lastly when I 1st subscribed it said I was supposed to get a bonus item which when I look in IPSY seems to be 2 face masks however I did not receive them w/my 1st or 2nd bags or separately....I’m bot sure if I was supposed to do something to get them? If I go to them from the link in IPSY they don’t show up as free or anything if I go to the specific products’ link or anything....Maybe someone else knows the answer?????

by Angecraw

So far I absolutely love this app and IPSY . Personally, I think $10 a month for 4 samples and 1 full sized product is a great deal. Not to mention the cute bags every month! It’s a great way to try new products I wouldn’t normally buy otherwise. I know what I like and tend not to branch out of my comfort zone. Subscribing to this app is perfect for me, because I don’t have to risk buying a full size, expensive products just to try and realize I hate it. I know enough about makeup to casually wear everyday, but I’m no beauty wizard lol. They offer instructions and video tutorials explaining how to use each product. I’ve learned techniques I never thought existed. And if I end up liking something, they usually have it available to buy in full-size. Maybe this app isn’t for everyone, but I’ve definitely gotten my money’s worth.

One suggestion...At first I was confused about the beauty quiz that asks about our beauty preferences to help personalize our bags. I assumed that meant those would definitely be the products I’d receive. Once I noticed I was getting other brands/items, I checked it the FAQ’s and read that what we get is based more on our reviews of each month’s products. It’s misleading when first signing up, and I only realized this after searching the site. Could you please make that more apparent for future new users?

by Finally Vermont Has A Target!!

Give this monthly beauty box (well it is actually A really adorable monthly makeup BAG holding all the goodies) a try!! You will not regret this inexpensive purchase of only $12 a month for the Glam Bag (5 travel size products mixed with a full sized item in a cute bag). You can also get the Glam Bag Plus for an extra $25 a month that includes 5 FULL SIZE products worth well over $100. Your bag is curated for you based on a beauty questionnaire you keep updated based on your makeup, skincare, and hair product loves, likes, indifferent, dislikes, along with your skin and hair type, color, texture, and your makeup colors and products you prefer. Your bags are even more personalized when you provide a review of each item and if you like the particular item, the brand/company, and if you want more of this type of item. I also look forward to the 2nd of every month because ADD-ONs are available for 24 hours and you can select up to 5 trial size ($3 each) and or full size products ($12 each) to be added to your bag. Give this a try and pamper yourself a little bit!! Did I say these are from high end and up and coming brands that are normally way more expensive per item than your monthly price for 5 items!

by Auti Tulips

I’ve been using this app so since last year, so I didn’t have to deal with a wait list. I’ve always been either super happy with my products or a little upset, but I feel like if you review them honestly they do try to make the bags better. It’s not like they pick through each persons profile to find the perfect product, it’s all the computer so when you review and make your profile, it really matters. At first I only got it for skincare products, but I recently changed my profile to try more makeup and got some foundation so I’m really excited to try that. Also, some of the stuff they put in these bags are so worth it. I got this gold flake eye shadow and I loved it so much and I looked it up and for the size I got it was $22. Sadly, I recently dropped that eye shadow on my bathroom floor, so the floor is gold and beautiful now like my eyes should’ve been. Just one great product is worth it and I personally have had great luck. Anyways, I love this app, I recommend it to my friends and anyone also who it’s even thinking about trying it, it’s great even if you want to try it for just a month or two.

by Dawnajwilliams

I was enrolled in a competitors program and while I love the opportunity to try new products, the sample sizes really don’t provide an adequate amount to experience the full benefits of the item. this app gives you the full size item and you then have ample time to experiment with new shades of eyeshadow or lipstick and can make a fully informed decision to purchase that item again. I read the reviews of the products and while some consumers complain about the characteristics of some of the items, the total upside is that you can try them out for several nights/days/seasons and truly know whether the products are good for your skin type...or not. The small samples can not afford you this opportunity.
So far, I am overjoyed each month with the selections I’m sent. All you do is fill out your profile honestly and completely and this app sends you item that fit your profile in addition to sending items that are edgy and will make you say “WOW! I’m so glad they sent this!!!” I recommend this program to everyone who loves makeup and cosmetics!!!!

by FloridaMommy

Every month, I start paying attention to the mail like crazy waiting and hoping for my package! As a stay at home mom, it’s the one thing that I have to look forward to that’s just for me!!! I started a long time ago with just the Glam Bag, then moved on to the box, and now headed to the ultimate thing that’s new! I’m sooooo excited! The crazy thing is though, is I barely even wear makeup because I have nowhere to wear it to anymore AND I live in Florida, where as soon as u step outside it just melts right off! 😞 I don’t care though, it’s still so so exciting for me to get it every month! It’s like having Christmas or my Birthday every month and I’m lovin’ it!! Yay!! I tried Birchbox years ago when a friend got me a subscription as a gift and can honestly say that I love this app sooooo much better! Keep up the great work this app! Oh! The only advice I would give....is to pay a little bit closer attention to the beauty info we give u guys because it seems like a lot of us get things we specifically state we don’t want.
Thanks again this app!!

by KateyB9989

At first I was hesitant about getting this but now I am so glad that I did! The products they send are high quality, name brand makeup and skin products that you see in the high end makeup stores. They also send makeup brushes, face masks, nail polish and more!! And they aren’t always sample sizes, sometimes they are full sized palettes and lip sticks etc. plus you get a cute little bag...all for $10!! It’s such a good deal! And if I ever get anything I don’t think I’m gonna use I just give it to one of my friends or she trades me something she got in her this app bag! The more you review the products the more their team knows what you like and every this app bag after that will have more and more products that they know you are going to like. AND when you review the products you get points and cash back so if there is a product that you absolutely have to have again, you can buy it on their app with the points that you’ve acquired from rating your products. So fun and worth the price of 2 coffees. I would highly recommend! Keep up the good work this app ❤️

I’ve had an this app subscription for over a year now. One month, my shiny pink envelope arrived empty with a note from the USPS about it being damaged in transit. *sob* I emailed this app right away (super easy from IPSY BTW) and sent a photo of the package w note. They sent me a replacement bag right away, even though it was NOT THEIR FAULT! And it arrived in just a few days so I didn’t have to wait too long for something I look forward to every month.

The $10 a month is SO worth it! Most of the makeup I wear is now from my “glam bags”. The “samples” last 10+ uses each. Some I’ve used 20 or 30 times and I still have product. Masks are the exception - you can usually only get 2-3 uses out of those. Bags are super cute at least 75% of the time. And when I don’t love them, I can always pass them on to my kids or niece or friends. They’ve been the bandaid for my bag addition for awhile, and my wallet thanks me for it. And I love the opportunity to buy a few extra samples or full size products when my budget allows.

by Hello👍🏻🙈

I enjoy doing makeup and I love any beauty products. If you’re the same, get this app. For the small glam bag you pay 12 dollars a month. And it’s not a scam or anything, you can stop anytime. This is my first time with this app, I haven’t even gotten my first glam bag in the mail yet, and I already love it! You can even shop on IPSY it’s not just the glam bags. In the small glam bags you get five items that add up to fifty dollars or more! It’s really fun when you keep it a surprise and not look at the items your getting in your bag. Also, it’s SUPER fun when you do the little quiz. When you get IPSY it has you take a little quiz of what makeup and beauty products you like the most and how often you want to get them. It also asks what beauty stores you shop at and what stores your interested in trying. The only thing is that I wish the small glam bags were 10 dollars a month again. And omg I love that you get a different little bag each time! It’s so much fun. If your thinking about trying this app I definitely recommend getting IPSY !

Their app could use some work because it does glitch sometimes. But besides that, I just love this app so much. It’s only $10 and you get a cute bag and 5 products. People complain that it’s mostly sample sized products, but come on, you are paying $10! The samples are not like samples you’d get from Sephora where it’s one time use. These are deluxe samples that actually last a while and are easy to pack for travel. Every now and again, you get a full sized product that is in my opinion, a bonus. If you ever have a problem with the colors they send you, just write that in a review and they will send you different ones next time. Also, when you review, you get points. And after you collect enough points, you can use them to get extra products in your next bag. If you feel you want to take a break, you can put it on vacation mode and skip a couple of months. Or adjust bag frequency to where you can skip every other month. There are a lot of perks. I love this app. Give them a chance!

It’s so much fun getting a shiny, pink package in the mail every month & for only $10/month ! I’ve been a member 10 months now & love it. Even considering upgrading to the $25/month .. but w the $10 - you get a cute, new makeup bag along w 5 products. Usually a couple items will be full sized & a couple will be deluxe sample sized. IPSY is really cool too cuz you can update your profile at any time, see what products you can purchase at a discounted price, see what items you’ll be getting in your upcoming glam bag & one of my fav parts- rate the items you receive to help further customize your next bag AND you get points each time you rate your items !! You get to redeem those points for makeup/skincare/haircare/fragrance/brushes etc. that’ll come in your next glam bag package. Really, for a mere $10 it’s pretty cool. I’ve waited awhile to write this but I’d say it def deserves a good 5 star review. *** **P.S I was also on the waiting list at the start of my this app subscription. I’m glad I didn’t cancel !
