While it isn’t that big a deal, I mean, it’s an item that was under $10, I was really looking forward to my Morphe eyeshadow palette. Like, this palette was THE whole reason for doing this order.
To open the door and find everything thrown in a bubble mailer rather than a bag always makes me anxious, and it got worse when I found a bit of the green eyeshadow sprinkled about in the bag. Opened it up to find yep, my eyeshadow is broken - actually, three are, but most sad is that the one I was looking forward to the most, the darkest green, was really busted. I was able to replace the main bits of the lighter green and the bright gold shimmers in the middle, and I cleaned the dark green up carefully and replaced as many bits as I could, and I’ll add some isopropyl alcohol and let it dry and try to re-press it, but the ultimate thing I keep thinking about is “why in the heck do they send these in bubble mailers?” I get it if I had only ordered stick or tube items. But easily broken eyeshadows? Just tossed in, no extra padding? Sad. What’s most sad, though, is that I just KNOW that they likely won’t have a replacement, since this item sold out quickly. So it’s a credit or a different replacement item, likely. Why wouldn’t they hold back enough stock that they can replace broken items? Beats me. Why wouldn’t they use a different shipping method when so many break? Also beyond my understanding.
For the IPSY support I’m hoping will help me, yes, I created a ticket. #27135255.

Loving all the products I snagged. The BadGal Bang mascara is my favorite waterproof mascara and mine is about 6 months old, so I was actually considering buying a full price one… that “paid” for about half my order! And love that gift of the marine cream.

Some fun stuff in this month’s Extra “box” (that came in a bag, not a box). Was relieved to see that nothing got squashed or smashed, and everything came in good condition. It was delivered by Cirro. I just wish that once Ipsy says it’s shipped, Cirro would have better tracking, but once it actually left Illinois and started making its way to me, it was indeed fast.

Another good and the bad post. :(

The good: everything that was supposed to be in my order was in the package.
So far, I’m excited about most of the items and can’t wait to try them. I actually needed a new mascara, because mine are all approaching 3 to 4 months old at this point, and need to be tossed and replaced. So that was a well-timed inclusion and the mascara will probably be the thing that I try first of my glam bag items. I only swatched one add-on item, though, and came to report my sad finding on that.

The bad: the one single add on item I swatched, the one I was most looking forward to, the Beauty Creations liquid chrome eye shadow trio, was all dried up, especially the red color which I could barely even get enough out of the package to even see the glitter color. The white was the only one with a tiny bit of liquid left. I already put it in a ticket with the Glam Bot, and I am hoping to either get a refund or my money back for the dried up items. I wasn’t totally surprised, everyone who I’ve seen post about those liquid eyeshadow. Trios has reported that they were completely dried up. Sad, because it looked like a pretty product.

Also, I was very disappointed and upset that BOTH of my order packages had been opened and re-sealed - but not sealed completely. Meaning, about 1/3 on each side of the big round sticker on the bubble wrap outer package with my add-ons AND the smaller bubble wrap inner package with my Original Glam Bag, were open and able to be easily picked through, had someone along the transit route cared to look through and take something in transit. Luckily nothing WAS missing, but it was so obviously opened and re-sealed that I was suspicious on opening that something would be missing. Glad that nothing was, but it was still just not what I expected from a company selling new items. Like, I get it, they may have wanted to recheck my bag, but at that point, someone should have either put two of those big round stickers on the bubble mailer to make sure it was completely sealed, or, put it in a new bubble mailer.

The good news: the Natasha Denona My Dream eyeshadow Palette came, and it was undamaged! Woo!
The bad news: the Elemis eye revive mask was missing from the shipment. Oh well.
I already chatted with the Glambot, and it says it will arrange a replacement for me. We will see!

I have the above items in my cart to purchase from the shop today, so influence/deinfluence me! If I decide against something, I need to add another item, so I still get the Danessa Myricks multi-use matte multi-use liquid pigment which I’m excited about. So, if you say something is “meh,” please suggest a different item!!
I also need/would like to make my decision by tonight for same reason, so like …3.5 hours. lol.

I want to upgrade to Ultimate, but not until it’s the new box next month. I don’t want the May box. When should I upgrade?

I didn’t get the Extra Box (I skipped this month), but I thought it was an interesting read to see what all ANYONE could have gotten. I’ve seen so many bags posted, and for some of these products, I think they had very, very few items to go around while other products they had a ton of items. Anyhoo, here it all is! Interesting to note that there are fewer repeats here than in the original, there are a few though for sure. Some items are repeats because I got several of these in old boxes.

I didn’t get the Original (I skipped this month), but I thought it was an interesting read to see what all ANYONE could have gotten.

Some are also very clearly old stock, because I got several of these in old boxes.
