I got mine one the mail yesterday. I was so disappointed in this month's bag.
First of all, the bag itself was awful. I've already thrown it away. It has that horrible beach ball smell and is such a weird shape.
In my bag I got the Dr Brandt's primer which was ok. I liked other products from this brand that have come in my Ipsy bag, but I have other primers that work much better than this one.
I also got the Coastal Scents blush. It is ridiculously small and almost unusable. The colors are very pigmented though.
I received the Urban Decay Perversion mascara. I used it today and thought it was ok. Nothing super spectacular.
I got the lip balm in green apple. It's fine, but not exciting.
The worst product was the Lord and Berry eyeliner. It went on really smoothly, but smudged quickly. I had inservice today and when I went to the bathroom after my first session, I was horrified by the smudges! Raccoon eyes!
What did you get in your bag and what did you think?

I got mine and also threw the bag away. It stunk! I am thinking of canceling my sub. I've had it for a year and have enjoyed it but Iately I seem to be getting more bad bags than good.

We got ours today. DD and I both wanted most of the bag. I had to remind her who pays the subscription! That stinks that you aren't happy with the products. I'll have to try mine and see what I like.

I didn't notice the smell of the bag. This is the 3rd month for me, and my least favorite.

I liked the bag. I like pols dots. I have severalakeup bags that are that same cylinder shape, so it didn't seem weird to me. Is supposed to look like a pencil bag bc of the school theme. That's why the shape I got the UD Perversion mascara. I was excited to try it, but I didn't like it. To me, I don't care how thick or long a mascara makes my lashes, if it makes the curl fall out it's not a good mascara. This made the curl fall. I also got the primer in a no more pores formula. I'm excited to try that bc my pores are my biggest skin issue. I got the lip gloss in green apple. Not excited about that. I don't like gloss. I got a little bitty sample size quad of Coastal eyeshadows in pretty blues and teals. Excited to try that as well. And then I got a black bottle of creme? that says it can be used on body or hair??? I'm just confused by that .

I didn't notice any particular smell to the bag, either. At least, nothing that was overwhelming. I am surprised so many people said they didn't like the color/shape/size, especially after all the complaining about last month's pink ravioli bag. I got: --the Dr. Brandt, which is okay but not any better than my Clinique or CoTz, both of which are cheaper; --the UD mascara, which I haven't tried and probably won't (black mascara is just too stark for my paleness), but my sister will like it; --JCat shadow, which looks nice but I haven't tried yet. Maybe tomorrow. --the Jersey Shore Green Orange Ginger lip balm. I like it at lot, but I think some others hate the taste. --Klorane dry shampoo, which smells HORRIBLE when you spray it but actually isn't awful once you air out. I actually got it last month in birchbox and thought I hated it, but I am glad I tried it again. Are there other products I would have liked to have in place of some of those? Sure. But if I always got the things that I "want" and would pick for myself, I'd never find new things that I do like!!

(And since it says body cream, I wouldn't try it on my hair! LOL!) It is the evolcano. It says body creme, but then on the back of the bottle it says "to revitalize your skin and hair". So then I was like maybe they mean body as in giving your hair body/volume? I'm just confused. When I open it and look at it, it seems thin/watery, so not something I would associate with "body cream" as in thick lotion for very dry skin. I don't know. I'm so confused. I don't like this product!!!

Most disappointing selection to date- at least I like the bag itself. NOLA free your mane revitalizing spray Bee All Grapefruit lip balm Manna I sheer glo lotion-not sure what it is! L&B mini eye liner mentioned in previous post
I feel like they omitted an item,, four rather ordinary things?
And no Urban Decay!

I read a few other on the Ipsy site were missing their Urban Decay product as well and received fast contact from Ipsy.

I got the Urban Decay Perversion. I was so looking forward to this, I usually like Urban Decay. I hope I like it. Manna Sheer Glo - I tried this today. It looked pretty but not too much. Just a natural look to my skin. I would buy this product Green Apple Lip Balm - meh - I will use it because I like lip balms but it not something I would rush out to buy Lord & Berry mini eye liner and GlamGlow Youthmud - I am trying this tonight so I will see

I received mine! I didn't notice any smell to the bag, at all. I actually thought it was cute but wish it was longer. I would have loved to use it for brushes or something.
I got the Urban Decay mascara - I tried it and it immediately intimidated me. It came out of the tube kind of clumpy and thought it would go on clumpy. It didn't, really, but it did hit my eye liner line on my upper eyelid, and I don't really know HOW as I've never done that before and it's how I always apply mascara. I'll definitely try again.
I got the Coastal Scents blusher, and I don't use blush as I have rosacea which causes a natural blush LOL. I was REALLY hoping for the quad. Anyone wanna trade? LOL!!
I got the eyeliner, which I have not tried yet.
I got the lip balm - it's ok. It's lip balm LOL.
I got something else, but can't remember what it is off the top of my head. I'll have to edit later when I go look.
Overall not super disappointed, but also not SUPER excited.

It's not the best batch but I'm okay with it. I was happy to have a bag with a different material and shape, I didn't notice a smell.
I got the UD mascara and haven't tried it yet.
The glow lotion, I only tested it on my hand, it is pretty.
Tiny black eyeliner, I can't wear black eyeliner, too overwhelming on me so I'll pass it on.
Lip balm, I was glad I got the tube rather than the tin. I love lip balm so there's never too much for me.
Dry shampoo, I have several right now from other samples so I haven't tested it. Someone here will use it or it will get tossed into a travel bag.

This was my first month, so I have nothing to compare it to. And it sounds like my bag is missing the mascara or eyeliner.
Klorane dry shampoo Jersey Shore Mongongo lip balm JCat eye shadow in a neutral color Dr. Brandt pores no more primer
I thought the bag was decent, and I will probably end up using it as a make-up bag for my purse. I like that it is bright and it will be easy to find in a dark purse.

The only thing I've tried so far is the lip balm. I like it, but don't love it. Looking forward to trying the Glam Glow as that's supposedly the really sought-after product this month according to comments on Instagram. Overall, I'm pretty happy with the subscription. I've found at least one product each month that I really like and doubt I would have discovered without Ipsy.

mine is do today. the UD mascara has gotten good reviews so I am excited to try. I am just now really wearing mascara because I hated scrubbing it off but my wipes work great. I think for $10 it is great to try new stuff. I would have paid the $22 retail to try the UD mascara. My Boxycharm box is due today too. It will be a fun mail day

I got mine yesterday. I like the bag. It's different and cute. There was a tiny dead moth in it though, so that was kind of gross.
Mine had: Klorane dry shampoo UD mascara Lord & Berry eyeliner Manna sheer glo Jersey shore mandarin green orange ginger anti-aging lip conditioner
I've only tried the lip stuff. It's ok, not the greatest. The flavor is nice. I'll probably give the eyeliner to my teenaged friend. I got the UD one a few months ago and don't need another black eyeliner. I haven't had great luck with dry shampoo in the past because my hair is very thin and fine. It just gets weighed down. But I'll give this one a try.

I've gotten in for 6 months now and almost every month has had mascara. I haven't ever had mascara checked as something I want. The eyeshadow would be okay, but this is the 3rd one they've sent me that is basically the same color. I think I'm giving it one more month before I cancel.

It was in a card stock type thing.

This will be my first month. I'm anxious to see what's in my bag. It hasn't showed up in my mail box yet. Hopefully today or Monday.

Funny some people's bags were pink polka dot. Mine was orange. If you aren't sure what a product is for/does, you can look it up on Iosy. It would be nice if that info was included, but hey, it's $10. It's a fun little surprise in the middle of the month and I try a lot of new things I would have never tried before.

My bag is orange polka dot. I love it. It would make a good pencil case.
I got the UD mascara, LB eyeliner, Mongongo lip balm, Manna shimmer lotion and Glamglow mask. I'm excited about the UD mascara, I use lip balm all the time and liner is always good (unless it smudges). The shimmer lotion and mask? Doesn't excite me. But it's not useless to me, like eye shadow, so I'm good.

I got the same products as above. I like the bag and mine didn't have a smell to it. I'll keep this one myself and not add it to the stash of stuff I keep for my niece and sisters in law to go through. The only thing I probably won't mess with is the eyeliner. I recently received a sample of the new Benefit They're Real gel liner and I'm loving that. It doesn't budge all day.

L&B mini eye liner mentioned in previous post I am getting the same as above plus the UD mascara. I love mascara and haven't gotten any of the others so I'm excited. I'm excited to try the NOLA, too. This bag is better than last month for me. I've had enough of the lip products. I haven't used one since the cool lip balm last winter. DS actually nabbed it away. Lisa D.

Thanks again Sabrina! I emailed customer service this morning and within an hour we'd exchanged info, and a new sample is on it's way. I was supposed to get the UD mascara. They said they might have to make a substitution, and I replied that was fine with me- I don't wear it often.

I thought maybe it slipped out of envelope in transit- but if on a card that's unlikely.

No bag yet. I stopped it for awhile, then re scribed, so I'm probably on the tail-end of the shipping dates.
I did get my Birch Box the other day (which I generally like better), but haven't opened it yet.
