Maybe you’re here because you already get a monthly IPSY Original or IPSY Extra shipment delivered to your doorstep, but you’re curious about the opinions of other subscribers like you. (Kind of like reading your favorite restaurant’s Yelp reviews—you know you love it, but just want to see if everyone else does, too). You might also be here because you’re considering signing up for your very own IPSY subscription (hi, how are you? We’d love to have you!) and want to see some real reviews. Whatever your reason, we’re happy you’re here. Let us take you through IPSY’s membership options.

  • IPSY Original: Our resident OG subscription includes 5 deluxe sample-sized products worth up to $70 in a collectible Glam Bag for $15/month.

  • IPSY Extra: Full-size. Fully obsessed. Score 5 full-size products worth up to $200 for $32/month.

  • IPSY Ultimate: The ultimate indulgence where beauty lovers get 8 full-size products valued up to $400 for $65/quarter (this subscriber-only upgrade replaces your monthly Original or Extra shipment).

To help you decide, we’ve rounded up a few of our favorite IPSY subscriber reviews. Keep reading for real reactions and reviews from real members.

It's about glam time you treated yourself.
