For those who don't want to go through the hassle of making one Coastal Scents sells their quads - which obviously fits these perfectly - for only $3.95 + applicable tax (free shipping when I checked out).

Did you buy other items?  I just made an account and the lowest shipping they're offering me is $5.34.

 
I am so excited about this bag! The bag is cute, the products look amazing, and the overall value... WOWZA!! I'm kind of worried that with this being the Ipsy launch bag, it will be amazing and the rest may fall flat just like when Myglam launched with a great bag at first... then the ones to follow weren't as great. But.... the bags have been getting better and better every month IMO so maybe they have really done their research and have learned a lot along the way with Myglam. I have high hopes for great bags to come. I'm sure there may be a dud here and there with things I'm not particularly thrilled about but they can always be used as gifts, for giveaways, and the trade thread. So everything works out in the end. I like how there is no "box envy", the price is amazing for all of the great things you get, the packaging is pretty, I just love everything about this sub so I'll be sticking with them.

I don't think that's right. The notes say Mac is the same size as theirs and I got one of the little shadow quads in the mail today and its NOT the same size as Mac. I can take a comparison pic if needed.

I think I'd like the gold!

Any word on whether the eyeliner comes in colors beside black. My dark circles hate black!

Oops, you're right. I had other things in the shopping cart and qualified for free shipping. I didn't realize it at the time because I hadn't finalized checkout. For me shipping (once I removed everything else) is now $7.62.
 
So I have been paying a lot of attention to the crossover of products from one service to the other, and the Carol's Daughter Monoi Split End Sealer was a Klout Perk today. I wonder what each companies policy is in regards to keeping samples exclusive. 



 
Wow, this was a great month for resubscribing!  I do fear this being another bait and switch like December, simply because of the Ipsy brand change (which I give a side-eye to) and the email going out to old subscribers using this bag's contents as a lure to resub.

Hrm.

I'm really excited by the fact that we are getting so much make-up.  <3 I wonder if they will truly be 'customized' and if so, based on our tastes (choosing pictures of celebrities) or our characteristics (eye color, age, gender, hair color).  I also have to mention how much I HATE quizzes that ask us to chose from pictures of celebrities.  One, because there is the look I currently wear, and then there are looks I would like to try.  What I currently wear may be way different simply because I don't currently own the products needed for a more extreme look.  I'd hate to end up just getting a lot of browns. I already have a ton of brown shadows.  Plus, I may be more likely to wear celebrity A's look, but celebrity B's look is more appealing because it is applied better.  I think asking more questions about style and taste would be better than picking between celebrities who I can barely stand.
 

 
Klout hates me right now. I'm logged into my Klout account on iPad but when I went to log into Klout on my PC my score drastically changed. What ended up happening - I now some how have TWO Klout accounts.

 I agree. I hope they don't accidentally fall into a bait and switch scenario because they can't manage expectations.  I also don't necessarily like using celebrities as pictures because with some celebrities, I associate too much of other things with them instead of focusing on their sense of style. Plus, you're right sometimes some pictures look better because of the skill of the makeup artist and the photographer.  Oh well.  Perhaps the quiz is meant to leave a degree of freedom for Ipsy to send out products that could possibly match others. Of course, in a few days there will be some degree of backlash with people who dislike their products because the colors don't fit their profile preferences.

What's Klout?

 
This will be my second bag and I'm so excited for it! I think I subbed at the right time because the bags have been getting better each month. It is great to see a company listen to feedback and make changes.

Good question. LOL To be honest I don't have an exact answer but what it is for me is a pain in the rear social ranking system. From Klout's website.

They are shipping in the middle of the month. I miss the time when they ship around the 10th of the month. Since they are getting better I have been excited to see that pink envelope in my mailbox.

I haven't gotten a shipping notice yet but they usually ship mid-month. I'm getting so antsy because this bag looks AMAZING!
