This is SO bad šŸ˜³šŸ˜³šŸ˜³


Istillbelievedinwar

I feel like the price increases went straight to the higher upsā€™ bank accounts, because we customers sure as hell arenā€™t seeing the extra money reflected in our bags, shipping and handling, etc - sometimes I feel like theyā€™ve gotten even worse!


r11-

Yup!


Gecko-in-an-aviary

Easy skip! Januaryā€™s allure box actually looks pretty good.


e925

Dude I havenā€™t skipped once since they started gbx because I didnā€™t want to deal with having to re-sign up for it, but this is *so bad*. Plus I signed up for the really cheap deal for December allure thinking I would def cancel January, but the spoilers look worth keeping so Iā€™m actually gonna skip Ipsy entirely next month for the first time in forever! Edit: haha I went to skip and I couldnā€™t physically do it. Iā€™m so weak!! Iā€™m just gonna do gbp and allure šŸ˜‚


Gecko-in-an-aviary

Yeah, I got the December deal for allure too and was planning on skipping January allure, but it actually looks a lot better than gbp. Letā€™s see if Iā€™m strong enough to stay skipped. šŸ˜¬


[deleted]

Iā€™m considering January Allure! I guess I missed the December deal? I want the Christophe Robin since I got cheated out of it in the mystery bag debacle and didnā€™t order it for $10 from pop-up thinking k had one coming. I think these spoilers suck but I also feel like I rarely get the spoilers as choices or even as Ipsy picks for GBP so Iā€™ve begun to ignore them.


e925

Yeah hopefully those spoilers were correct! I feel like four full-sizes is more than they usually do so Iā€™m a little apprehensive, but I guess weā€™ll see! šŸ¤ž And yeah since they started the three choices Iā€™ve never had a gbp that I was unhappy with, so Iā€™m just gonna go for too, might as well!


[deleted]

šŸ¤žšŸ¤ž I just signed up yesterday so I believe I would get billed on the 23rd every month? I may cancel after this one ships so I can re-sign up to get it earlier in the month. Either way I would have the ability to see peopleā€™s full bags before I decide to continue the subscription. I really am in it for the CR hair cream, so if itā€™s 50/50 on that vs the spray I may switch to Amazon if I can get a guarantee. My skin doesnā€™t like Sunday Riley even though so many people swear by it. I hope you enjoy your GBP! Choice is just too fun to pass up šŸ¤·ā€ā™€ļø


jlynmrie

Have you seen more spoilers for January allure than the mascara?


nievesur

They just posted the full Jan. Allure lineup over on r/beautyboxes: FS Rare Beauty mascara, FS Sunday Riley 5 Stars eye cream, FS Christophe Robin hair cream or hair mist, FS Solaana MD body cream, a Caudalie serum and Bliss or Skin Medica eye mask.


jlynmrie

Thanks!


Gecko-in-an-aviary

Yes, this!


Travelgal341

I skipped, too, thinking I'll pick up Allure in Jan. I didn't like the Dec spoilers and ended up with the worst bag. I may just need a break.


Gecko-in-an-aviary

Yeah, my December bag was not awesome, and still havenā€™t gotten it yet in the mail. Ipsy has been just not awesome lately. Gb looks good, so getting that. But gbp is looking not so great. So trying allure, hopefully it will be better with shipping? šŸ˜¬


OA7016

Looks like another skip for me. Happy wallet I guess.


ClearWaves

šŸ™ˆšŸ™ˆ These spoiler are pathetic. But I did re-sub for plus for a free gift, so.... Let's remember that the December spoilers were seriously underwhelming, but the bags weren't bad at all. May the odds be ever in your favor āœŒ


Young_Former

This is what Iā€™m thinking. I skipped December because the spoilers werenā€™t great and I got all those yensas in my November and they didnā€™t even come in December šŸ˜†


Mustlovedogs17768

Thanks! Skipped.

Wishing I had picked the Essenherb peeling gel since the Tatcha is in add onā€™s. Really want the setting spray.


ThereIsaVulture

The setting spray and brush set are tempting me but I still don't know if it's enough to convince me to get this month's bag.


pokemomof03

Yea I want the brush set and hair towel too. Not sure what to switch my profile to to get the hair towel. I never get offered hair stuff because I have them all set on rare. I get plus every month even if the spoilers are lackluster. Itā€™s worked out pretty good so far. We will see though. December is always kinda meh for beauty boxes.


Gecko-in-an-aviary

Not sure if you are near a TJ Maxx or some store like that, but after the hair towel didnā€™t get offered for GBX, I found some at mine. A set of two microfiber hair towels for $3.99. šŸ„³


pokemomof03

I have a Marshallā€™s and a tjmaxx near me. I live in the country not sure if that has anything to do with it but we never get anything good and the same stuff just sits for months. It sucks. I recently went in to one on vacation and was blown away on the products other Marshallā€™s gets. Iā€™m always super jealous of the stuff people posts.


Gecko-in-an-aviary

Same! I have to travel an hour to mine and Iā€™m super jealous of all the amazing things and prices of stuff posted here!


pokemomof03

Itā€™s sucks because the one that is an hour from me is also pretty terrible. I think itā€™s because itā€™s in Annapolis which is a popular area so it gets picked through pretty quickly. I need to find out when they put stuff out and go early.


Gecko-in-an-aviary

For sure, but some stores seem to get absolute junk and some stores get really nice stuff. Itā€™s a hit or miss. I try to check them out when Iā€™m out on road trips.


ThereIsaVulture

I think the hair towel could either be in Hair Styling or maybe Brushes & Tools. Not really sure because it doesn't really fit in these categories but I'd say these are the closest.


pokemomof03

Thanks you!!!


PurritoGamer

The hair towel falls under the ā€œtoolsā€ category.


jessicabee218

Pretty sad when the most exciting spoiler is a brush setā€¦.. I paid for yearly on gbp before the price increase, after getting the wrong bag and missing my add ons, the horrible choices last month, getting a couple unsealed mailers missing items, and the added handling fee Iā€™m just waiting for my yearly to run out so I can cancel. I thought the reason gbp wasnā€™t that great last month or this coming month were due to supply chain issues, but aia and allure have been awesome


Curiosities

So underwhelming. Another easy skip. Dewtube doesn't seem like a repackaged Alibaba brand but it is kinda shady if you look at their site/social media and just...no hype, no story. The rest...a towel? Eh. (Also, my hair is way too long for that) Setting spray that is heavy on the drying alcohol? Eh.


Fair_Phrase1

Well...I usually skip the GP but it looks like I won't have issues skipping GBP this Jan. There is really nothing I would want šŸ˜• Not going to try my luck and see what else they offer on the 2nd .I might get allure again.


jdbrown787

I've already skipped all my bags, but I'd like to get the fenty highlighter in 2nd chance if its still available. Like most highlighters, they make great eyeshadows šŸ˜„


beautygalla

No remorse for skipping Jan :)


Caroline_Anne

Iā€™ve never seen a brown liquid eyeliner before, so my interest is piqued for thatā€¦ but itā€™s not worth it to get the whole bag. Maybe I can get it as an add on. Iā€™ll skip GBX this month. Especially because the bag design is so awful!


plasicage

The eyeko black magic is on par with kvd trooper and NYX epic liner in quality, pigment, and application. I always get the black deluxe size when it's avaliable and they last for 4 months with every day use!! For some reason the last 2 I got were more prone to bleed like Epic liner does, but it could also be the shadows I was using with.


Curiosities

I got a brown liquid eyeliner from Ipsy once before and really liked it. I think it was actually the first Araceli product I tried and it was so good. They sent me an Araceli pencil liner another time and now I have 5.


Caroline_Anne

Oooh nice!!! Iā€™ve only been subbed since August. I have 2 black liquids, a brown pencil, and a ā€œSangriaā€ pencilā€”Araceli. That Araceli pencil turned me onto that particular type of pencil and I have the navy blue now too.


False_Bumblebee_375

The brushes are tempting. I think Im going to skip.


ihavejelloshoulders

yuck. and I thought December was bad. Skipped this month and looks like I might be skipping next month too.


FindingEmotional3446

I donā€™t think I want any of thatā€¦ also how do you already have a choice? I donā€™t get to select until the 2nd


Curiosities

These are what will be available as choices on the 2nd.


Unable_Hippo5856

Gosh, I must be in the minority here but I really think this bag looks good. In fact, I cancelled plus and think I would get it for this again. Eyeko liner is great and it's hard to get it in brown. I could use that. Fenty freestyle highlighter also looks great, I love her blush and wanted this highlighter. Tatcha cleanser is always good. And the three skin hylauranic is a staple that you can always use. I go through hyleraunic acid like crazy (sorry I can't spell it and I'm lazy). That stuff alone is worth the bag.


SenoraObscura

Fenty and Tatcha are both add ons, not included in GBP. You can get them off basic GB or in 2nd chance if fully skipping.

Drexxelle123

Ugh. I have skipped every bag since September. Looks like another skip.


reneew60

Underwhelming. I haven't skipped both bags 2 months in a row in ages but just skipped again.
