i am with you on that one, ipster makes me want gag at how awful it is.

 

[mishtastic]

Maybe they wanted to to distinguish themselves from all the earlier controversy and since they're doing a lot better now thought a name change was in order

 

[Beauty-Flawed]

Though I don't care for the name it doesn't really matter to me what they call themselves as long as they keep sending out quality bags. The Urban Dictionary definition's are entirely too funny though and I wonder why no one caught that before they committed to it. lol

 

[Baberanza]

ummmm, no. even the myglam logo was better.

I feel tipsy after reading the word ipsy so many times

I guess they didn't google this term fully before deciding to build a brand name out of it.. Urban dictionary has two very interesting definitions of Ipsy. 

Looks like someone from MyGlam got to Urban Dictionary recently to save some face - there's a second entry that says:

Confidently flaunts her own individuality. Has a distinct and unique personal nature.
She carries herself with so much ipsy, she’d make Victoria Beckham jealous.
 
LOL.

I keep thinking "tipsy" when I read it LOL. The pimp slap meaning is hilarious. It came up as the second result in google. How could they have not looked into the name before using it? I think something should be in trouble for that oversight.

Yeah I saw that one too what it should say is "She carries herself with so much ipsy... Said no one ever." LOL

This was my thought, too.  MyGlam got a bad rep, so they are reinventing themselves.  Starting fresh.

LOL That entry about confidence was just added to.

I honestly don't know why they changed it from MyGlam to Ipsy but I have to admit I think Ipsy is funny to say. It'll take some time for me to get use to it much less really like it but it's not terribly bad. It's different.

Lol. So basically they thought up some BS name, realized it meant something silly a little too late, then added their own description?!?! It sounds, just funny

 

[aleeeshuh]

I was soooo excited that my sub for MyGlam would start in October, but not Ipsy doesn't appeal to me... At all. Geez... I wonder if anyone is going to cancel cause of the name change?

Pimp slap!

Alas Urban Dictionary we meet again. I always end up on there laughing my head off and being completely grossed out haha.

So if it's a pimp slap, what does that make me as an ipster... the slapee? I like makeup but I'm not a hooker. Wait maybe I am... I do wear blue eyeshadow lol

 

[ValentineLissar]

Hmmmm.

Was this Michelle's idea? 

 (I suppose the name could grow on me. Despite the hilarious urban slang,  I think it just sounds like a collection of syllables and sounds.)

Christine! I was thinking the same thing! Simply because I follow Michelle on instagram and with her newer (I use that term loosely) videos, she's all about "a beautiful you, perfect the way you are, blahblahblah" lol.

I think if ipsy means pimp slap then ipster means you're the pimp? LOL

Wow... Google Ipsy and there's a ton of links for it already.

I just do not understand this rebranding strategy, but now I'll always think of pimp slap so I guess it's good for a laugh.
