The irony of March’s Ipsy bag theme “The Great Escape” is not lost on me. After two disappointing months, I will be escaping from my Ipsy subscription.
The one thing I’m a big fan of this month is the nautical themed bag. I love all things anchor-related, so it was an easy one to love, but alone is not worth the $10 subscription to me. The other contents of the March 2013 Ipsy bag are:
- La Fresh travel lite makeup remover wipes: a packet of 8 wipes
- juice beauty hydrating mist toner: a 1fl oz spray bottle
- two tiny samples of eye shadow from yaby: a green color called “so vein” and a tan named “sand dune”
- a box which I thought at first was an empty box with a mirror. After going to the ipsy.com web site and reading others’ complaints I realized it’s a GlamRX eyeshadow palette holder- it has a little magnet that holds your little eyeshadows in it.
After being an Ipsy subscriber for close to a year now, I’m going to cancel my subscription. Most of the contents of the last few months is just cluttering up my makeup drawer and since I’m trying to purge stuff I don’t need, now is the time to move on from Ipsy.
Bye Ipsy, it’s been real. Maybe I’ll re-subscribe someday if I see better bags in the future and I’ve kept up with my organization goals.
Did you get March’s Ipsy bag? What did you think?
Last Day! 
I got my bag today also and wasn’t too impressed. Even the bag itself wasn’t the usual quality, the lining in mine isn’t sewn in correctly. Also the contents wasn’t great, although the eye shadow colors I got are a little less in your face than yours. I think I may cancel too, maybe I will hold out for one more month.

Cari, let me know what you think– maybe you’ll like it better than me?
I have never heard of Ipsy, but it seems like I’m not missing much anyway!
I unsubscribed about two months ago in favor of a Spotify membership. I enjoyed getting something new each month and do still use some of the things from my previous bags. Maybe it’ll get better or a new service will come along that will be awesome!
