User Reviews for IPSY - Beauty, Makeup & Tips

It’s like Christmas every month 😂

So far I absolutely love Ipsy and the app. 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 Ipsy 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 Ipsy 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?

Fantastic but with a few minor flaws

I adore pretty much everything about Ipsy. 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.

The absolute worst

So I started ipsy 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 ipsy 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 Ipsy 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.

Not really a fan…

Honestly i used to like ipsy 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 ipsy i’m a little disappointed.

Quality Products!

I was at my sisters home on vacation in July when I heard of Ipsy 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 Ipsy! Now that’s Quality all the way around. Not much more can be said about this Gem of a company. Thank You Ipsy!This is a true and valid account of my experience and I have not been paid to write this review!Kathy Linus

Love it!

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.

Loved everything so far...

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 the app 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 the app 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?????

Ipsy WAY BETTER THAN BOXY CHARM!!!!

My daughter and I decided to try IPSY and boxy charm at the same time so that we can get a real time accurate feeling for both and decide from there… I can tell you that I’ve had no issues with Ipsy other than a little confusion on how to upgrade my box to the next level. If you are seriously looking into beauty boxes I want to warn you that boxy charm sends out products that are damaged and dirty. I used a liquid eyeliner that I paid for separately through the drop shop and it completely messed up my eye it clogged up my tear duct causing an eye infection which then caused my contact to fused to my eye which I did not know so when I tried to take it out at night it literally peeled off part of my eye (All of this occurred within 48 hrs of using the newly purchase eyeliner) I don’t know what the heck was in that eyeliner but it really jacked up my eye! I’ve worn contacts for 20 years and never experienced anything like it. They also have no customer service!! I spent a total of $260 in their drop shop and they forgot one of my items and WILL NOT RESPOND! Choose IPSY!!!!! They are great! They actually listen to your answers in the beauty quiz also I got use out of every product that they sent me! I was so satisfied that I immediately upgraded to the next box! also who the heck doesn’t want a free make up bag every month you literally get a little mini bag!! All for under $14!!

Looooveeee

I absolutely love Ipsy. 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 Ipsy 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

I’ll try it....

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 IPSY!! 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 Ipsy. Highlighters are my friend, who knew. And the price is fantastic. Now the word sample is funny. I have never ran out of an Ipsy 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 Ipsy 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.
