Ipsy is a subscription service that you receive each month.
The service is $10 a month for everything (including shipping and taxes). It's
a makeup service and you can receive makeup, nail polish, makeup tools, face
products, etc. They mostly come in sample sizes but you usually receive at
least one full size product in your bag. You receive a new bag each month along
with new products.
When you first
start, they have you fill out a survey. This survey is so that they know what
type products you like. Once you're done with that, you will probably be put on
a waiting list. They do not bill you though until you are going to receive a
bag that month. Now that I am receiving bags each month, they bill me every
month for $10.
I have been with
Ipsy now for awhile and feel like I can give you a good review on it. I joined
back in July 2015 and received my first bag in August. They told me I would be
put on a waiting list and if I did certain things (such as advertising through
Facebook and such) I would be able to get my bag quicker. I didn't do that and
just waited it out. By the next month, I received my bag. So I didn't mind
waiting.
What I like about
Ipsy is that you receive new products every month. Also, you get more makeup
products in your bag than anything else, which is what I wanted. Along with the
items, you receive a new bag each month. After awhile, you may have too many
bags to know what to do with. But they do make great gifts for people. In
addition, after about a week of receiving your bag, you will receive an email
asking you to review the items. I find that this is a great feature because you
can let them know if you like receiving these certain products or not.
For example, I'm
not one who likes to receive face products. I'd rather just have makeup
products. My skin is very sensitive so I'm more hesitant on using different
facial items. When I answer their questions about each product, I let them know
if I like receiving these products or not (they give you options to click on
like: Love this type of product! Or Don't like this type product at all).
Eventually, they get the hint and will send you less of those items. It won't
happen right away, I'm still receiving some face products, but I usually only
get one of those things in each bag.
I may not use Ipsy
forever, but for right now I thoroughly enjoy it. It's fun to open your mailbox
and find your Ipsy bag in the mail! For my blog, I will be posting each month
what I received in my Ipsy bag and let you know how I feel about the products. Hopefully,
this will give you a chance to see if you are interested in having this type of product or not!
I hope this article
helped you understand more about the Ipsy subscription service.
