I was going to moan about yet another nail polish-less Ipsy Glam Bag (referral link), but it turns out that there weren’t even any nail polishes distributed by Ipsy this month!
A few of things I did notice that Ipsy have recently changed:
- They updated the Profile Quiz, so retake it if you’re a subscriber! They’ve added some more detail.
- You can’t seem to review individual items in your Glam Bag, anymore—just the bag as a whole. I hope this isn’t really the case, as I’m not sure how they will be able to tailor your the Glam Bags as well. (How else will I complain about getting endless black eyeliners and haircare products?!) They giveth with the Profile Quiz, and taketh away with the product ratings…
- You have four months to finish reviewing items from previous Glam Bags.

This month’s bag is pretty decent, nevertheless! I did get an email from Ipsy last month asking me to choose one of the items I would receive, which was cool. The options given were:
- Ciaté Liquid Velvet Matte Lipstick in Pin Up
- City Color Be Matte Blush Trio
- Hanalei Lip Treatment
- NYX Prismatic Shadow in Bedroom Eyes
- NYX Prismatic Shadow in Jaded
- OUAI Wave Spray
- tarte Deluxe Maracuja Oil

I almost picked the tarte Maracuja Oil, as I’ve been wanting to try it for a while, now, but in the end I’m a sucker for nail and lip stuff, so I went with the Ciaté lipstick.
Turns out I received the Ciaté lipstick, plus the tarte Maracuja Oil, plus the Hanalei Lip Treatment. Score!
