Why I Cancelled IPSY!

July 20, 2016 By TheBeautySection 7 Comments

Why I Cancelled IPSY!

Hey everyone!

Today I cancelled my long membership with IPSY so keep reading to find out why I cancelled.

Why I Cancelled IPSY!Β 

Why I Cancelled IPSY!

Like I said today I cancelled my subscription with IPSY after being a member with them since 2011, that is 5 YEARS you guys!! Crazy right?! After getting them for 5 years it was time to go. It’s kind of a bittersweet thing for me but I do want to share with you the reasons I did cancel. I have ZERO hard feelings towards the IPSY company or their customer service. (If you don’t know what IPSY is, it’s a beauty subscription bag delivered right to your door for $10 a month).

Let’s get into this…

I wasn’t excited anymore.

That sounds as simple as it is. I remember getting that pink envelope in the mail and being so excited I would rip through the envelope and dig into the bag with extreme urgency. I couldn’t wait to see what was in each bag. As the years went by that excitement wore off and I would see my IPSY bag in the mail and not care as much. Of course it is still fun to get beauty products no matter what but I was just over this bag.

The product brands.

I haven’t always been super fond of the products that came in my IPSY bags, some were brands I knew, most weren’t. And I totally get it, we should be discovering new beauty products, and yes that is true, but for me and this is just my opinion I wanted a few brands I knew from time to time. For example the last bag I got was again from a brand I have never heard of and not one word on the packaging was in English… I don’t know any other languages and to be honest this made me not want to use the product because I had no idea what it was even for.

Why I Cancelled IPSY!

Product Availability:

With IPSY sometimes it was kind of hard to actually find a product in full size that you had received in your bag. Like if I really loved a product and wanted to buy it in full size sometimes it felt like I was searching through the whole internet to find try and find it. And also most things were from online companies only and not where I could go to a brick and mortar store to pick something up.

I’m good with Samples:

I have so many samples ya’ll… SO many. I do have another beauty subscription service, so I am still getting beauty samples/deluxe sizes but I just don’t need this many, you feel me? I would be so underwhelmed with the samples I got in later IPSY bags that I would open it up, look at what I got and just leave them in the bag, never using the samples. Maybe I should donate them or something… that would be nice. Anyways I was inundated with samples.

 

So ladies these are a few of the reasons I cancelled IPSY, again I have no hard feelings or do I want to bash the company. I think they are a seriously great company with a great team behind them. But just like we got tired of that favorite shirt we used to wear all the time in high school, I got tired of this and wanted to move on to different things. If you want to sign-up please by all means do, don’t let this post change your mind.

You can find all my IPSY Bag posts here.Β 

I hope this was helpful to some. I have been getting Sephora Play! box for 3 months now and am in love!

 

Do you get IPSY and if so what are your thoughts on this post?

    Hello,
    I have been a member for about that long too and I do feel the same way. There used to be a pamphlet in the bag that told you what the items were but I have not seen that in a long time. I have no idea what some of these items are. They say you can go to the website to get a tutorial but I cannot find it! I just cancelled. Also, I have too many samples.

    I agree, you don’t want to be paying $10 for samples you as aren’t using

    I haven’t subscribe, but have been thinking about it because so many of my friend do and say they love it. I’m going to have to check out the Sephora Play! Box, thanks

      IPSY is definitely a great bag to get, but it just wasn’t for me anymore. Do some research on each of the subscription programs and find which one works best for you! I love Sephora Play! Box though, it’s so much fun!

    I also cancelled my subscription last month. I wasn’t with them for as long you but I definitely felt that I had out grown them. I still think that they are a pretty good service just not for me anymore. Right now I am trying to decide between Glossybox and Boxycharm. Do you prefer one over the other?

      Yea I feel the same way, I still think they are great, it just ended up not being for me! I actually have never tried either Glossybox or Boxycharm but I have seen reviews on both and they both seem pretty great! I’m really loving the Sephora box right now!
