Nice Selection of Products for a Good Price

Really enjoyed my first Ipsy bag! Received 5 products in total, 2 of which were full size products! The others were deluxe sample sizes. Nice variety of items! I received 3 makeup items, 1 hair care product and 1 skincare product!

Ipsy has definitely upped their game!

I have recently reactivated my ipsy account and it was so worth it! The products are more tailored according to my beauty profile and the monthly selections are products that I actually want to try!

Worth-it Subscription

I wouldn't recommend this for people who are really into makeup and have a lot of products already as these are sample size (except for add-ons). However, for people (like me) who are used to buying cheap drugstore brands, this monthly bag is really helping me discover what products i want to use and dont want to use.

Like Christmas!

Every month I look forward to getting my Ipsy bag. It’s got really cool sample sized cosmetics, makeup brushes etc… all in a cool little makeup bag. It’s like Christmas every month. You receive stuff based on your personal preferences. I highly recommend.

Why I am Breaking Up with Ipsy

So I have been subscribed off and on with Ipsy for about 5 years now. I took a break for a couple of years because I was receiving too many duplicate products or ones that I didn't want or need. Last May, I decided to re-subscribe to as a pick-me-up at the start of the pandemic. Initially I was thrilled with my first 6 or so Glam Bags. I found that the Beauty Quiz was pretty accurate and I was actually receiving products that I liked and wanted. I was also impressed with the brand selection and discovered some great new products that I actually added to my skincare routine. But then the wheels started to fall off one by one by one. First was when I started to receive duplicate or similar products every month. Therefore, every month I would have to go into my Beauty Quiz and switch a category to "rarely" so stop getting another type of that product in my next bag. But no big deal because hey, at least we can customize right? Then I found out about the DLS controversy which I missed the first time when I was unsubscribed. I had two DLS affiliate products (Beauty Basics and Glow on 5th) in one of my Glam bags. For the sake of brevity, I won't get into the ethics of Ipsy partnering with these companies but there is a Reddit post about Ipsy, DLS and Alibaba for those who are curious. When I emailed Ipsy to complain, customer service did everything they could to avoid discussing these brand vendors with me so Strike Two for Ispy. And Strike 3 has been how long it now takes for me to get my bags. I have been getting them later and later and am not sure if it's an issue with their fulfillment centre or DHL or both. As Canadians, it's bad enough that we can't get GBP or GBX but we also have to pay for shipping and our deliveries are late. So after careful consideration, I will be cancelling my subscription once I use up my points and I'll be subscribing to a Canadian beauty box. I'm not recommending other subscribers to cancel as this is a personal choice of mine though I know I'm not the only one frustrated with them. Ipsy just simply no longer checks off boxes for what I look for in a subscription service.

I could be biased but this is the best subscription for me

I’m a flight attendant and always on the go so getting all of these sample sized products every month really works well with my lifestyle. I can’t be lugging around full sized products in my suitcase everywhere I go. It’s nice to be able to try out new brands I’ve never heard of before and get some from iconic brands that I already love. Some months I will admit they fall short on adhering I my preferences but other months they are spot on!

I just re-subscribed

I started Ipsy about 4 years ago and I did for about 6 months. I discovered so many amazing products and brands thanks to it! So I decide to restart it a few months ago. It’s a little treat for myself and it’s also affordable!

it's great

I love that you get a variety of products that you can test before purchasing because they tend to be of high value. The price isn't bad at all and you can choose to do monthly or yearly subscription.

Oh. My. GAWD!! I can NOT say enough good things about IPSY!!

I've been an IPSY subscriber for over 2 years now and have yet to receive a repeat product. This remains THE most affordable beauty subscription to date coming in at under $15 cad after factoring in USD to CAD exchange, taxes and shipping. The size of the products are perfect for me to try' I'd normally be sick of a product and ready to try something new by that point anyway!! I just wish they'd expand to offer Glam Bag X and onwards in Canada. Or even just for me. Thatd do ;)

Fun Subscription box!!

I was given a "try your first Ipsy bag free" from a friend. So I decided to sign up and try it out. I was very happy with my first bag, I thought they did well with sending me items I would like to try. I did purchase 2 add ons before my bag shipped. I did get 2 sheet masks, a contour brush, a brow mascara, a black eye liner and a bb tinted cream. My only complaint was that the tinted cream they sent me was a dark colour and I am very fair skinned. Otherwise I was very pleased and I did sign up for a second month.
