Ipsy/MyGlam: October 2012

[LeighNJ]

This is my first Ispy/Glam Bag. When do you usually get yours? I live on the East Coast (NE).

I would love it if they sent the other colors of that product in the spoiler. Would love to try the espresso!

Those on the West Coast tend to see their bags within 7 to 10 days after it ships, sometimes sooner.

I noticed I had 1 charge on my account for $10.00 and one for $12.99

Has anyone else had a different price charged to them ?

I wonder if someone is trying to sneak a higher price by us ?

$2.99 might not seem alot individually but times it by thousands it adds up.

i have both of those also. got charge $10/each..  do you know which one charged you the $12.99?  im curious now....  /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Are you sure the emails are from Ipsy? That seems really odd to me. Especially because it says this in their Privacy Policy: " Please do not email your credit card number or other sensitive information."

i agree.. i received some emails from ipsy also to subscribe.. ( i was a myglam sub for a few months, then quit) they asked me to come back BUT provided me with a link that took me to their secure site.(.i also went out of that link and went in myself to be sure it wasnt a spam type link too).... i wasnt asked to do anything over email..   this was just last friday i think..... just be careful.. i had a few issues with fake paypal emails, so i always log in on my own and dont use the link in an email..

Basically what they're saying is that if they buy another company or another company buys them, they'll give your information over to that company who is now doing the business. e.g. if P&G buys out Ipsy and takes over doing its subscription service, then they'll just pass your registration information -- including CC # and address -- so P&G can keep all the existing customers rather than start over from scratch. It's more a statement to protect them legally if they do get acquired or acquire another business.

Ok, I caved and signed back up to receive the new Ipsy bag. I had only tried MyGlam for one month, and cancelled because I didn't like the products. I'm glad I'll be getting the October bag, as it's supposed to be the best. This'll determine if I stay with them or cancel yet again. 

I'm so happy this board exists! I love hearing about peoples thoughts on the bags, and seeing spoilers!

Oh, I don't think it's misleading, since what my "takeaway" from it was is that they are most likely considering divesting certain operations...such as spinning off the subs to a buyer, etc. I'm not concerned that they would sell my CC info to a scammer, unlike the second poster in that screen cap. I should have explained why I was posting it, my bad.

So...about their site.  Do we really have to be "active" and post pictures/looks to make sure our bag will be more customized?  From their FB, that's what it sounds like and I really don't want to do that.  Hhmmph...I just like to sit back and be the quiet kid in the corner.

That would be stupid. I haven't yet and have no intentions of posting anything on the new site. I hate the new site layout and don't really want to see all that stuff.

honestly i'm kind of confused by all the contests. I don't get it, lol. You have to upload pics and videos to make a 'look' using the products but they don't have to be pics of videos you took? sooo you just go on you tube and link other people's videos using the featured products? am i getting that right? sounds way too confusing. how about- enter your email to win, lol. sounds like a lot of work- i know their goal is to build a community, but it's just too complicated for my old feeble mind i guess.

I think if Ipsy has +10,000 (though it might be closer to 50,000, but I'm being conservative) it would take a lot of man power to customize each exact shade that a subscriber might receive in their bag.  I think they probably have a set of 10 color variations that could be sent to people who have a certain style preference based on the quiz that subscribers had to take.

For example, if you put down that you have a bold style, they might pull colors from a preselected pool of bright colors like reds, greens, yellows, blues, but if you have put down that you like a natural and classic look, they might pull colors from a pool of nudes, neutral browns, beiges, taupe, and blacks.  And so even though there is a greater level of customization, ultimately the colors you get are still random, but they're closer in color selection to your preference. 

I completely agree with the sentiment of not posting stuff onto that website. I enjoy other people's efforts, but I'm not the kind of person who likes to create looks and then share them.

Well, I really hope that they take our coloring into account, too. Like, as a porcelain-skinned redhead with hazel eyes, the last thing I want/need are dark, cool-toned blue/gray/black eyeshadows. So I hope they take that into account and not just what we put for our style preference. I don't even remember what I put for my style preference.

Ipsy might send out the makeup based on coloring.  At least, that's what I would do.  But my point with my previous post was that I am pretty confident they can't customize everyone based on their videos and makeup looks that they post on the Ipsy website.  They customize colors by looking at the quiz results.

Received in in my Birchbox a while back .... It's another hair oil ... Pequi or something with that type of name. Luckily for whoever doesn't sub to BB or didn't receive it yet, it is a pretty decent product. Much better than another one BB had sent out (same type of product) that made my hair a mess.
