What is Ipsy?
Ipsy is a monthly subscription service that will send you a “glam bag” filled with different makeup, hair, and beauty products. Ipsy currently offers three different “glam bag” sizes: Glam Bag, Glam Bag Plus, and Glam Bag Ultimate.

The Glam Bag Plus is Ipsy’s medium subscription. It includes 5 full sized products and 1 makeup bag. This option costs $25 a month. Also, this option is only offered to people in living in the US.
What is the Glam Bag Ultimate?
The Glam Bag Ultimate is Ipsy’s largest subscription. It includes 8 full sized products, 4 deluxe sample sized products and 1 makeup back. This bag will cost you $50 a month. This option is only available to people living in the US.
How much is shipping?
Shipping costs for addresses in the US are free, but are $4.95 for addresses in Canada.
Will my bag be customized?
Yes, your bag will be customized. There are two different things Ipsy will look at when decided what products will go in your bag. The first thing will be your beauty quiz. This quiz will be filled out when you sign up for your subscription. The next thing they will look at will be your product reviews. After you receive your glam bag each month, you will have an option to review the products you received when you log into your Ipsy account. These reviews help Ipsy make sure that each bag contains only products that you will enjoy.
What will I be asked in the beauty quiz?
Ipsy uses the beauty quiz to help them decide on what products to include in your beauty quiz. They will ask you about your appearance. What is your skin tone? What is your hair color? What is your eye color? They will also ask you how comfortable are you with makeup. Did you rarely wear makeup, or do you always go out with a full face of makeup? They will also ask you what products you would prefer to receive, the shades of makeup you like, the brands you like, and the fragrances you like. Lastly, they will ask you if you have any skin or hair concerns.
Will I get to choose any of the products I will receive in my bag?
Currently, you do not have an option to choose any of your products. However, starting September 24th you will be able to choose 1 of the 5 products you will receive in your Glam Bag or Glam Bag Plus subscription, and 1 of the 8 full sized products you will receive in your Glam Bag Unlimited Subscription.
Will I be able to see what is included in my bag before I get it?
Yes, you will. Ipsy will send you an email on the second of the month that will include a link to view your products.
Can I add products to my bag?
After Ipsy sends out your spoiler alert, you will have the option of purchasing additional products for your bag. You choose either deluxe sample sized products for $3 a piece or full sized products for $12 a piece. You will only be able to purchase up to 5. Also, Ipsy only has limited quantities of these add-ons, so if you know that you would definitely be interested in purchasing more products, then I suggest that as soon as you receive your spoiler email, log on to your account and select your add-ons.
Is there any way I can receive free items?
Yes, you can redeem free items by using points. You can earn points by doing the following things: referring people to Ipsy, following the Ipsy creators on Twitter and YouTube, reviewing the products in your bag, and reviewing everything in your bag. Also, these points will expire. They only last for 12 months, so make sure you use them before you lose them.
Tips?
Make sure to remember to review your products. If you didn’t like what you received in your bag, tell Ipsy that, because if you don’t, you probably won’t like what you receive in your next one either.
