Ipsy Refreshments Unboxing

MelodyHoff

6474 Followers20642 Likes

At the end of 2021, Ipsy started a new subscription service called Ipsy Refreshments that focuses on delivering affordable personal care items to your door each month. Think lotions, body washes, razors, deodorant, and more. These products are inexpensive and make it much more convenient to get your essentials compared to going to a store. MelodyHoff got her first Ipsy Refreshments box for free to share her thoughts about the new service. In her box, she received a hand lotion and facial cleansing wipes along with some cute stickers. While she enjoyed the products included in her first bag, she ultimately decided not to continue with the service as she doesn’t think it’s worth it to her to get monthly.

She created a simple, yet elegant winged eyeliner look using some exciting products including facial sprays, a pore-refining primer, hydrating lip balm, and more!

Ready to dive into another great Ipsy Glam Bag? Prismpop user Y-D-O-J shows off what products were included in her May 2021 Ipsy Glam Bag subscription. The theme for the month was ‘flower power’ (pretty fitting for the spring season!) and was packaged in a super cure pink floral bag. This month’s subscription included some great springtime beauty essentials including a foundation, lip crayon, eyeshadow palette, eyeliner, and rollerball perfume! In her review of the products, she notes how she was very happy with almost everything aside from the foundation which she will opt to use as a concealer.

Frequently Asked Questions about "Ipsy Glam Bags"

What Is Ipsy?

With the rise of beauty influencers over the past decade, we’re getting bombarded on a daily basis with recommendations for the newest brands or hottest products so how can we know what to actually spend our money on? Ipsy makes it easy with their Glam Bag subscription service. But what is Ipsy? Ipsy is a company that delivers new and exciting beauty products straight to your door. They offer three different tiers of Glam Bags that each have different perks. The Glam Bag is $13/month and comes with 5 deluxe-size beauty samples including one product of your choosing. The Glam Bag Plus is $28/month and comes with 5 full-size products–3 of which you can choose yourself. Lastly, Ipsy also offers their Glam Bag X which is $55/quarter that comes with 7-8 additional full-size products. These Glam Bags allow you to experiment with new brands and products at a fraction of the retail cost!

How To Cancel Ipsy?

Wondering how to cancel Ipsy? If you’re signed up for any of the three Ipsy Glam Bag subscriptions, canceling is quite simple through their website! 1. Head to Ipsy.com and log into your account. From there, click on ‘View Membership’ and then ‘Management Membership .’ 2. Click on ‘Manage Membership’ and then on ‘Help Me Stop My Membership.’ 3. You will see a pop-up on your screen asking you if you want to skip a month or cancel your subscription entirely. If you’d like to cancel entirely, click on ‘Continue Cancellation.’ 4. Go through the prompts as requested. A cancellation email will then be sent to the email attached to your account. You must click into this email and confirm that you would like to cancel your subscription. Without clicking through this email, your cancellation will not be finalized.

Is Ipsy Worth It?

As with any company, there are pros and cons to Ipsy. If you are a beauty lover who loves to experiment with a bunch of new and innovative products/brands, then a beauty subscription service like Ipsy may be for you. However, if you’re someone who likes to stick with a set routine, it may not be your best bet. Ipsy is pretty affordable, often gives out discount codes for the full-size products included in your Glam Bag, and is customizable based on your preferences. On the flip side, you do have to be okay with getting products you may not use often or like which may lessen the personal value of the service to you. So, is Ipsy worth it? The answer varies from person to person so your best bet is to give it a try yourself!
