Ipsy Review

Are you a makeup lover? When I heard about Ipsy I was hooked. A monthly beauty and makeup box with 5 products for only $10 a month? Sounds like a really good deal! It is an amazing and value packed service that is great for people who want to try all the new makeup trends or are just getting started and want to experiment and play around with makeup to find their favorite products or brands.

Our Ipsy Review

While you don’t exactly know what you will get each month, it is still customized to your wants and needs based on a questionnaire. Who doesn’t like a little surprise? It is also one of the cheapest beauty subscriptions you will find at $10/month.

How does it work?

After you sign up, each month you will receive beauty goodies and a beauty bag that is perfect to reuse and put in different bags or use for traveling. The beauty products come in different sizes and different brands.

You also earn loyalty points and can use them to redeem more beauty products, which is a great added bonus.

Glam Bag VS. Glam Bag Plus

The Glam Bag will be $10 and will give you 5 products and a cute beauty bag. The products include 1-2 full size products and 3-4 sample size products.

The Glam Bag Plus for $25 will give you more full size products in each delivery.

Will I get all high end products? – No. It varies and there will be some high end brands represented in the products but you will likely also receive lower cost brands.

Things to consider before getting Ipsy

You should know that Ipsy sometimes has a waiting list for new subscribers and also that they cannot guarantee that you will receive a specific product as you do not choose them but they are chosen for you. If you want to choose your products every month, this service is not for you. However, the selection based on your feedback is pretty good and still gives you the opportunity to try things you might not even have heard about or considered.

Our Verdict

Compared to other beauty boxes, this subscription box gives you the best value. We looked at Birchbox for example, which doesn’t give you all full size products. It depends what you’re looking for but we like Ipsy the best and recommend it the most. It is perfect to really get to try different products every month and find amazing items that you might not have tried otherwise. As a makeup enthusiast and someone that likes to experiment and try new things, this subscription is perfect for you!
