ipsy

I joined back up for Ipsy Glam Bag. The price is now a total of $7 more per month and the items were pathetic! I wound up canceling after 2 bags. What a shame that something that I was once so good has gotten disgraceful. A big waste of money!

Be very careful when you sign up for Ipsy. I signed up 9 years ago. I thought that was enough. I called to cancel in July because my renewal came up in September. When I got my credit card statement they charged me another year. I spoke with my credit card company (American Express) there was nothing they could do. Ipsy is very sneaky how they don't allow you to cancel easily. Beware.

Woke up to a notification from my bank this morning - it was right there on my phone too. As if Ipsy's $13.99 price hike was bad enough but now they wanna charge MORE for what is seemingly less? Honestly, it isn't worth it. I loved Ipsy when I first subscribed because all of the products were new and I had never heard of any of the brands, and plus, it was makeup. It was like opening a Christmas gift each month but now I'm not even excited. If anything, they send too much. I can't even use some of the products because of my sensitive skin. And what's with all of the tiny mascaras? They all seem cheap and I used to get like two of them in one bag. The product samples used to be better! Now it's so sad because it feels like they just steal your money. At least I'll be receiving my refund in 5-7 business days. Great! I hope my bank doesn't charge me an overdraft fee.

The ipsy bag is a joke! Items are tiny sizes you get from free as samples not something one should have to pay for! The value is just not there. The products I received didn't match me or my profile. All items were very similar and would only provide a couple of uses per product /sample. I also had issues later on with customer service lying to me about items from their "shop" being shipped. It was such a horrible experience. I cannot recommend and have canceled my subscription.

This company is horrible. I ordered the Pat mcgrath icon box and my 2-3items came in used/bad. When my replacements came in, one item (Huda cheeky blush) was still twisted to the top and fell out as soon as I opened it (again). My second replacement, same thing. When they said they would send another replacement that was a different brand, I told them not to send me from their cheap line that they owned (complex culture) because it is not a comparable item to the Huda blush.

Well they don't listen for anything bc they sent me the $2 cheap blush instead of the $30 blush I ordered (that they kept sending to me used/bad). This is clearly bait and switch from a higher end brand to a cheap knock off. Complex culture items are pure trash and anytime someone has issues with the higher end items they pay for, Ipsy subs them with this cheap horrible garbage.

Customer service is useless. They don't care about customers or keeping business. I will be disputing the whole charge.

I have never wanted a ion box but somehow they said I order it but didn't pay for it so now I don't get either box or bag this bag isn't worth the money and it got worse when the put the ipsy and boxy charm together

I am so sorry that I started with this company, I have been trying to cancel a subscription for months. I lost access to my original email so now l get the "bot" to answer questions. This is the worst company ever!

You can go to Macy's, Sephora, Dillard's or ultra and get samples for free. Compared to $15 for what you get in this bag, (everything is samples in this bag) it is so not worth it. I used to get this years ago and you got a lot more in your bag and better products. I started back up again and NO! I just canceled my membership as soon as I receive this bag I will not continue to do this. Sorry but not sorry.

I set this annual subscription for my step daughter when she was in middle school. She is an adult now. I have tried to cancel this subscription every year and there's no way to reach anyone by phone. If you can't log into your account there is no way to cancel the account. I have disputed this with my credit card every year and finally I just had to cancel my credit. This company is a fraud. DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH THEM UNLESS YOU WANT TO BE BILLED FOR LIFE. RIDICULOUS!

They have charged me 3 times to my account, and keep saying they will send me a replacement, and that the replacement has gone out, but it never arrives.

I recently reactivated my subscription to give them another chance. I boyices a few of my boxy items were small when they were supposed to be full sized. When I checked the photos I realized some were the same size I would get in the glambag. I emailed back and forth, sent pictures as requested and eventually they decided to give me 100 points which still requires another purchase. It is a SCAM? They know the sizes of their products and the size of what they sent me so having me to gio back and forth was a farce. Service and the lie are why I'm canceling. The products were great but not worth getting them through ipsy.

Just got my bag today-total garbage - products are brands I've never heard of and sample sized. I receive better samples at Shoppers or at Sephora. Received 6 weeks late. For what you get, it's not worth it.

First they went from $12+ tax to $13+ tax, now they're charging a handling fee of at least $1.49 (don't know if it raises the more you buy) when you do any sort of add-on, flash sale, etc... which was a big draw previously. You could add on or buy anything on their sales for free shipping and at a good deal. Now with the "handling fee", it's not even worth it. Plus you can't actually decline any sort of product as not wanting at all. The best you can do is tell them you hardly use something. Means they'll still end up sending things you hate, and there's no option for sensitive skin, so for anyone with allergies or sensitivities, you're just going to have to hope the product's good.

Honestly when they first came out with ipsy i ordered, loved it. Great products. Now all I get is broken cheap junk. And the worst part is, there's no one to call or have replaced. There's no such thing. So today was my last broken item i'm done with Ipsy & Boxy charm.

I used ipsy for a while in 2021, honestly I loved the quality and never had any issues. I re-subscribed in 2022 and it was the absolute worst experience I've ever had with a subscription service. Several products came damaged, customer service was extremely difficult in shipping me replacements. A few of my monthly subscriptions never showed up at all, as well as my replacements for the damaged items. They do NOT give you $$ back. I asked to cancel my subscription immediately after being ran around through customer service and to be refunded for what has not been received/ shipped and they refused any refund at all. I DO NOT recommend Ipsy in the slightest. Spend your money literally anywhere else.

I would not say too much except that if you subscribe to have a lot of back and forth with customer support over missing items in your order/ getting wrong orders/ damaged products/ bad quality products. If you wish to read more reviews I would recommend reading posts on Reddit. You can read more specific complaints from people there.

Do yourself a favor and do not get mixed up with Ipsy. Their website tricks you into signing up for things you don't want and you don't realize until your credit card is charged. And they make it impossible for you to cancel. I'm trying to do that now for a third time after receiving another overpriced $13 bag of samples that I did not want and cannot use. With each screen, they try to mislead you into cancelling your subscription. I finally got through all of them (carefully reading what they stated) and my phone app told me I cancelled, but my refreshed desktop is still telling me my subscription is active.) I may have to resort to calling the Better Business Bureau or an attorney. Do not sign up. I promise, you'll regret it! (PS -- The photo makes these products look way bigger than they are. They are tiny.)

Ipsy charged me a total of $140.05 for ONE single "Glam Bag", and three "refreshments" of razor blades that I never asked for and had no razor for. I was in contact with the company multiple times, and they simply just didn't care. Months after quitting the membership, they have STILL been charging me every month for products that they never even send. They have never offered to refund me, and I think they are crooks. Go with their competitors, as no other business could possibly be worse than this.

I came in here to shout out the IPSY customer service. I have been a loyal IPSY user for 6+ years. The basic glam bag is plenty for me since I like to try items before I buy full size. Throughout the years I have had some problems with items (wrong shade, lost packages, late delivery, etc) and they have compensated those issues promptly and with understanding. Just recently was looking through the app and realized I never got my September package. They quickly replied to my issue and promptly sent me a new package with the same (or similar) items. 10/10 on the customer service!
