I really appreciate your reviewing these mystery bags so we don't have to waste our money on duds like this one. I get the feeling of hope that "maybe this one will be better!" 😂 ❤
This bag was offered on their up to 80% off sale in January for $15 so I purchased it. The only items I received that were the same as shown in this video was the makeup brush and nail file. The other 3 products I received were Kate Somerville, Ren and Dr. Brandt and a different 12 pan Violet Voss eyeshadow pallet. I am very pleased with what I received.
Those nail files have been in the shop on and off the last few months, but they were 2.50-3.50 as an item individually, and even once as a set of two for 3.50. They definitely gave you two items that they also give in the $15ish mystery bags or Glam Bag, like you said.
I bought this same mystery bag before Christmas, and I received the exact same items as you received. Lol!! Well, what can I say??! I am a sucker for these mystery bags also, especially if they are cute! We just don't learn, do we??! 😅 Have an awesome weekend, Sydney!!
I bought a $30 mystery bag at Christmas, the one with the double zipper and the deep red velvet color. I wasn’t impressed with the contents either, I was hoping for more high priced items. Live and learn I guess!
Lol! I thought about you when I first saw this one and wondered if you were going to get it! I almost ordered it, had it in my cart and I didn't end up having faith in that gamble! I received the file for free with a $25 purchase of add-ons from ipsy. Again, I'm glad I didn't give in to my fomo on this bag! Thank you for another fantastic video!
lol! You know me so well. I got an email that said they are launching a new one on the 15th of this month and I am like dang it! Even Ipsy knows my game!
Hello, I too purchase the majority of Ipsy mystery bags. This one was disappointing as I agree with every word that you said. An emery board…. Nope, not in a full size mystery bag! The brush is awesome, but for a glam bag! We are on the same page !
Eek I am so glad I don’t buy the mystery bags .. actually I am after this next icon box going to take a break again .. I have enough new makeup to replenish my expired now .. but I am geeked to see what Gwen picks for us ❤ I hope it’s all her line ..
Yup exactly y I don’t buy mystery bags. It started off good. But then, a glass file & that SL Miss Glam brush heck no! They go in a GB! Idk where they got the value from??? Over $108??? No way! Sidney, u have to stop buying the Mystery bags! Even though I luv watching u unboxing them! So I don’t get ripped off sadly. Love the bag! TFS! ❤❤
Sidney, I am like you if it says mystery. I'm buying it. It's like opening a Christmas gift. You never know what you're getting. I am excited about the opportunity until it is opened and then disappointed at the products and amount of money versus promised markup.
I now only buy the mystery bag if I really like the bag, so it doesn't sting as much if the products inside are disappointing. Sometimes I try to justify by saying to myself "But I did get an item from so and so brand in the description ." 😅
I received the Saturday Skin product a few times in my Boxycharm Box along with that pallet. I even have one that I just about finished with. The glass nail file was recently on sale for $5 so I don’t understand why they would put it in this bag along with the makeup brush. I wonder if those two items were put in that bag by mistake. Ipsy has been annoying me lately. First with the price increase. This month they refunded my boost product. I asked why they told me they were all sold out. Then when I asked about all the boost items they told me that my bag was already packed in the warehouse. They had just opened up choice day. I always pick my items first thing. They are just getting very shady. I would contact them about the brush and the nail file. It’s ridiculous to put that in a $35 bag. Happy New Year to you Gorgeous!❤️❤️❤️😘😘
Ugh. I’m disappointed for you! I dang nail file??! I don’t consider a brush a full sized item either 😠 the Saturday Skin product is nice and so is the Violet Voss eye shadow palette. But, like you said, that is probably old. I canceled my boxy by Ipsy with this last price increase. It’s just not worth it anymore. I always love to watch you unbox though! Have a great weekend! Hugs! 💖❤️💜
I got one of the ones around Christmas, 6 full size. So so so bad 😂 at least this bag is nice. Mine was really small. Really small 😢 I knew better 😂 my palette was a 5 pan thumper palette from Colourpop. I got 2 clear brow gels and 2 lip glosses. Wtf?
Yes, that Saturday Skin Rub a Dub is full-size. And it is the same pink tube as Boxycharm's January picks, just a different product (their Rise & Shine Gentle Cleanser, which I love). Dang, the first two items were awesome. But I hate it when Ipsy throws in a black eyeliner & a brush, & considers them "full-size." They do the same thing with sheet/eye masks. Full-size, my butt. And I love my Temu glass nail files. But again, really? A fingernail file, an eyeliner, & a brush all considered full-size? 🤨 So not worth the $30, even with the cute bag.
I am so sorry... you got screwed. And the worst part about the brush is that it came in the Boxycharm Box as a set of 3 brushes when it was a full size item a few months ago. Love those brushes so hard by the way. Full size boxes should always include at least 3 brushes as a set in my opinion to qualify as full size. Unless they are like really big and nice or something. Like my belle en argent set of 2 is a cult classic in my collection. I got the nail files free twice this year, once for points and once as an add ons $25 or more free gift. That is a serious rip off when they have way more nice stuff just rotting away in their storerooms... Like surprise us with generosity for once won't you?
Follow up question….did you accept the Ipsy pr offer? I hope so. They give pr to a lot of MUCH smaller channels. Most, IMHO, are not as professional as you are. You took one for the team again. TFS! 💜
So I got this bag. I immediately sent Ipsy an email! I also included pictures with retail prices. I added up the price and asked where they came up with $108. The reply I got was disappointing… I was told it was an estimated retail based on value which totally made no sense. I was also told that my satisfaction was their most important concern. So they gave me 600 points. Ummm that did not make a difference to me… 600 point equals a mini product. So this bag gave basically nothing of value…. Stay away from this bag… oh and 2 days later I received an email that an accommodation order was on its way! They also sent me a “free” gift…. It was a mini lip gloss. Thanks Ipsy

love how hopeful you always are lol 💓I would love to just ONCE hear you say "Damn it Ipsy " lol 🤣
And this is why I don't buy mystery bags. They're usually disappointing, and who knows how long those products have been sitting there.
This is why I canceled my Boxycharm after 7 yrs. Thank you for being so honest👍🏻💓
The saturday skin is amazing i swear by it

Still love my Allure box😊. I've never been impressed by Ipsy. Thanks Sydney.

Oh boy. Ipsy trikes again😜✌🏻😎
Love that you “tell it like it is”!
Ipsy boxycharm hasn't been good lately, I canceled again 😂I really enjoy the allure beauty box much better ❤
I'm up to the eye liner and I love all three so far. I even tracked down some of that Saturday skin on Mercari

Thank You! I almost ordered it! Whew! Close Call! 😢
Everything but the brush has been sold in the Ipsy store recently.
I was really close in buying this mystery bag, but now that I see what you can get I’m glad I didn’t.

Sydney, you look beautiful today! That green color on that shirt looks gorgeous on you!
Eek I am so glad I don’t buy the mystery bags .. actually I am after this next icon box going to take a break again .. I have enough new makeup to replenish my expired now .. but I am geeked to see what Gwen picks for us ❤ I hope it’s all her line ..
If it makes you feel any better. I bought a glass nail for $10 at a flee market years ago
Yup exactly y I don’t buy mystery bags. It started off good. But then, a glass file & that SL Miss Glam brush heck no! They go in a GB! Idk where they got the value from??? Over $108??? No way!

I got suckered too! I order the mystery bad with 5 full size and it came with a mystery Ipsy with deluxe all for $35. Smh! I got a problem!
In the shop today for 28.00 worth 147 - wonder what they changed up

I got the same glass file and it came broken 😔
Thanks for the video. Happy new year!!!
Just don't be that way with TWO THINGS, Love:SHOES & MEN!!!

They just transfer stuff from the small to box not worth it anymore thanks for heads up

Pretty sure they were giving those nail files away a couple months ago if you did 25 dollars in add-ons.
You are 100% correct. I got the nail file with 25$ worth of add ons in October or November.
So did I.
I am so sorry... you got screwed. And the worst part about the brush is that it came in the Boxycharm Box as a set of 3 brushes when it was a full size item a few months ago.

That's why I stopped getting Ipsy. I don't feel like they were worth it.
Follow up question….did you accept the Ipsy pr offer? I hope so. They give pr to a lot of MUCH smaller channels. Most, IMHO, are not as professional as you are. You took one for the team again. TFS! 💜
I asked her the same question and she responded that she was going to accept the offer. It's just in hold for a bit.

I’m so done with Ipsy mystery bags. It’s always Ipsy cleaning out the junk drawer. Nope nope nope!
I dumped IPSY years ago!
Mystery boxes are a enticement tool for businesses to peek youre curiosity but rarely satisfying 🙄😒
And this is why you DON'T become an Ipsy ambassador 😂
That’s terrible!! What a rip off! I’d be mad too!
I know you love their bags but come on girl! Take your money and go buy a small make up bag at the dollar store and save $34.!
Every mystery bag or box video just proves to me that they are a complete waste of money.
This bag was worse than usual. Sorry… If it were me, I’d be complaining to Ipsy CS. At least you’d get some points
This one was bad. Not worth it. It's ascam, honey!
This is awful of them
I don't like the Ipsy.
👎🏼
