I WASTED $200 on IPSY BOXES!? | 3 Ipsy Icon Box Unboxings

[@Alexandria-Ryan]

Hey guys! I am SO SORRY! This is not how I anticipated this unboxing to go! But I am going to redo all my profiles and hopefully that fixes the issue! Let me know what you guys think of the products we did get! Love ya💖

[@LeannSerao]

You don't need to apologize. ❤

[@whitneypreston8392]

We came. We saw. We love everything you do. Love ya girlie

[@Leslie-wb8cb]

I think you should contact customer service, and let them know that you are unhappy. You could have three different women in your household who you are trying to get boxes for! They don't know. And now, those three women all got the same WRONG shade of foundation(!!!) and none of them got ANY of the other oodles of options. Demand new boxes.

[@dianecarter3744]

Hi! I emailed back and forth with IPSY a while ago and the person told me that when setting up your profile Ipsy goes by "less is more ". Try to only select a few different options besides the part of your eye color, hair color, and skintone. She checked my profile for me after I adjusted it and said it looked good. Ever since then I have been receiving really good boxes. I change my age once in while and it does change some of the products I received. Older ages seem to receive more skincare than makeup. Younger seems to receive more makeup. Hope this is helpful. See you soon Beautiful ❤

[@DebosaurusRex]

Please just cancel your ipsy... it's garbo. Please. You're wasting your money!

[@Amy_Rice]

The amount of videos starting with “Ipsy, what the heck” or “what the heck, Ipsy” is growing and should be placed on an Alexandria Ryan BINGO card

[@pierogiwitch]

i'm so tempted to compile all of them and make a big mashup video of them to a beat or something lmao

[@farashahanem]

@@pierogiwitchPLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEASE make this happen! 😂

[@Nicolesid1]

We need a computation video😅

[@danniemorris7423]

and the Charlotte Tillbury in the fancy lady accent too hahah

[@pierogiwitch]

@@danniemorris7423 YES hahaha as the punchline!

[@AquaMom84]

How many times have you proclaimed you were canceling but I still watch the drama Ipsy causes 😂😂😂

[@valexkill]

Honestly, i would still see you open the same three boxes and rant about it for 30 minutes without complaining. I just find you delightful 😅😅😅

[@kelliwillis417]

Same!!!!❤

Same. I'm here for Alex - not the boxes.

[@FoundNoWiser333]

And so it begins... Hello Ipsy. It's been a while. Like always I cannot look away. It's the Florida Man of the subscription boxes. Dependably a dumpster fire.

[@kadeschaos]

that is so accurate omg 😂 these videos are so entertaining though!!! thankful that Alexandria wastes her money so we don't have to 😂😂😂❤

[@andrada5919]

I read that as the “so the american experiment begins” line from Hamilton💀

[@gracep9291]

anybody else really wanna see the subscription box mountain to just appreciate it?

[@LindsayAT]

Alex telling us she hasn't opened a subscription box in 4 months and has a huge pile she needs to open is some of the best news I've heard since she showed the giant stack of advent calendars.

[@charlottenewhook]

LOL at Sachajuan.. Saskatchewan is the Canadian Prairie Province. SACHAJUAN looks to me like the combo of the names Sacha (sasha) and Juan. Sacha was a spelling that I thought was pretty from the 90's when my stepkids were growing up as well the only spelling of that name that existed in the small town they grew up in that bordered on several Ojibway native land areas.

[@moodchanger3470]

she might also be thinking about szechuan.

[@joybodelay9679]

Corner Gas, baby! 😄

[@coffeegirl18]

@@moodchanger3470 I was thinking that too.

[@ToastontheEastCoast]

I like that she accidentally did better at pronouncing Saskatchewan while trying to say something spelled completely different than some people do while purposely trying to pronounce it while looking at the proper spelling. That just made my day. 😁

[@ibreatheair6313]

Do I plan on getting Ipsy's Icon Box? No. Do I enjoy watching Alexandria unboxing them and ranting about it? Yes, yes I do.

[@teridoster5840]

Same 😅

[@annhodge9952]

You should just get rid of 2 of your Ipsy accounts. You have so many other unboxings that you do.....

[@dolorescoelho4282]

I think the cancellation of two boxes would be a good option. Love your videos as always. You are so much fun to watch. Love to Tater

[@Brittainy89]

I love how advent season turns into after advent season which turns into unhinged subscription box season (due to the mass buildup)! I’m not joking haha I love them all

[@jinkamafrink]

I am laughing so hard right now! I said "Charlotte Tilbury" in my POSH voice (like you do!) at the exact same moment you said it!!! I LOVE this channel! I never wear makeup and I am old but you crack me up!!! Keep it up Alexandria!!!

[@taermina8907]

Same! It's on the Alexandria bingo card now 😂

[@grannym2880]

Same girl. I'm 61, wrinkly and have bad eyesight so make up is out of the question for me. I just love watching Alexandria 'cause she's so gosh darn cute & bubbly and brightens up my day.

[@JenCat-nu1gn]

I'm 57 an also love to watch Alexandria and because of her I did start doing some make-up again in Dec 23 : )

You should keep a makeup remover cloth by you at all times in that room!

[@michelleisabel]

Box of tissues, roll of paper towels, clean facecloth, there are so many possibilities.

[@faithruntz2969]

I was so excited and happy to see a familiar unboxing that I’ve been missing but the advent calendars are just such entertaining content! Your balance on this channel is perfect and you are literally my favorite KZbinr!!

[@taermina8907]

Love the video 💕 I understand Ipsy is very frustrating, but honey you have got to stop apologising for yourself! You're such a genuine, funny, wholesome and entertaining person and literally I drop everything to watch your videos (provided I'm awake when they come out 😂) Don't listen to the imposter, you're amazing 💕

Aww thank you! I hope you have a great day as well! 💖

[@BamaFreak132009]

I just love the way you say Charlotte Tillbury!!! It makes my day! Please just do some round up videos with the other boxes. We enjoy everything you do.

[@bridgetleekobold9979]

They way you mentioned Vaseline in regards to the tower 28 and I immediately get a vaseline ad

[@mercedesvelasquez8781]

That brush that bends the one you never had before is great for putting on eye liner that comes out of a tiny jar. That brush style is my holy grail because its perfectly thin brush just perfect for me to have better control..

[@planthungry]

Girl... cut back to one sub and make sure you make your choices. I set a reminder on my phone. They probably have a default box when people don't make their choices. You could have chosen 5 items out of the 8 each time. Get what you want!

[@tamaraw3620]

The icon boxes replace the boxycharm boxes quarterly. The ipsy little bags are still monthly. My icon boxes have been good, but I always make my choices, and they seem to do a decent job paying attention to my profile. Keep the unboxings coming, and I'll keep watching!

[@Lawnerd6704]

of course the boys wear sweaters that say "I still live with my parents" lol too cute

[@albinohamster4336]

I’m so jealous, my dog would never let me put anything on her 🥹

The place in Canada is Saskatchewan lol , it's a province .

[@prettynsleepy1073]

Thank you for always being honest especially when you’re disappointed. Ipsy just seems to be failing every time.

[@m.service5584]

Alexandria, when you set up your profiles, do you use a slightly different names or initials? If not, i wonder if Ipsy just figured that you had simply bought three of the same boxes!? 🤷 Maybe try something different with your name and/or address. You could have one delivered to each store, your house, your folks' house, a P.O.box, etc. Keep us posted!! Love you!❤

[@merciair]

I wonder if they just set up a few boxes and then just whacks lables on them so if you have the same name or state or something they will get shipped out of the same batch so are the same 😅 that's my guess

[@Cloudy_SkieZ1]

10:49 when you pulled that pallet out of the first icon box after ranting about Ren beauty bordering on Wander Beauty I sweeaaarrr I thought it was a wander beauty pallet

[@danikaa.mariee]

Yes perfectly timed upload! I was currently dying of boredom and doom scrolling on the clock app. 😂❤

[@beths609]

I was doing the same lol

[@cynthiaandvern]

She mentioned Saskatchewan (sort of)! 😄😄 It's a beautiful province, and my home sweet home ❤️ I don't mind the break away from advent calendars, you do such a service trying out all these products, helping us to choose boxes from which to get our best value.

[@melissanijssen8531]

Saskatchewan is a province in Canada! It's where I am! It just didn't understand you❤❤ looooove you!❤

[@jessicashappyplaceisyoutube]

I loved my icon box this month. I love Gwen Stefani and got some beautiful red lipstick from her brand, I think it’s her brand? I got some great glow recipe products and the add ons this month had some great deals. 50 bucks for a 200 dollar blow out like hair dryer. Also just love all your videos and would watch anything you share!

[@Persephone_Personified]

So crazy to not see an advent calendar video!! But always excited to see u pop up on my feed!! ♥️♥️♥️♥️

You handled that so much better than I would have. Receiving THREE of the same exact boxes would have had me FUMING 😮

[@Zaasi]

Alexandria, I knew the blush would be everywhere! Have a lovely day!!!!

[@seiryunohoushi]

The brush set is Love Craft Beauty, so yes! It's named after HP Lovecraft so it should be Eldritch Horror spooky. :)

[@deeatkinson2395]

Well that was timing!! Just settled down and yay a video from one of my favourites ❤

[@--s-0-]

a new video from you can really uplift me even on the shitties days. thank you!

[@northernbeautygal]

Ohhhh man! I completely agree that Ipsy does not follow your profile. They have told me in emails to rate your products every month because that helps them to be able to customize your items for you. They also told me in emails that sometimes rating products that less is more. Meaning that even if the product is good but you don’t want to keep getting this kind of stuff to give it the lowest rating possible. So I have done that but in the part where I write why I have only given it one star I say I don’t like doing this because I really like this brand but I don’t want brow products. So if people or even the brand is reading some reviews they see why I have given it a one star rating

[@teresasawyers701]

That mascara rocks! Might start getting this one instead of Thrive s

[@fae5748]

What you need to do is make one of the profiles with a deeper/darker skin tone -only if you have someone you can possibly give it to or donate the unused tube to a women's shelter -and see if one of the future 'foundation' shades is darker like how it's supposed to be. I have the sneaky suspicion that they give 0 craps about the profile and just sends out the same thing to everyone regardless of profile, especially since one of your profiles is supposed to be ONLY skincare. I'd love to see what they do next quarter if all three profiles are so vastly different in hair color, eye color, skin color, skincare preference over makeup. But I would suggest that if they don't adjust to the vastly different profiles that you just drop down to one or even drop them all together, ipsy used to be good and now it's getting greedy with crap like this! Love from MN

[@robynwolf3803]

Love how funny u are & how sweet you r! I luv to watch u unbox anything! But this one takes the cake! So sorry u got 3 Icon boxes w/8 exact items in them that’s just crazy. But yr such a great sport about it! Love watching u! ❤❤

[@laurenjb7]

I haven't ever used that particular heat protectant cream, but I have alopecia and my hair seems much the same as yours, I use heat protectant cream rather than spray (Redken big blow out heat protectant jelly) and have no issues with it weighing down my fine hair. For specifically flat ironing I think spray is more effective, cream seems best for blow drying

[@bizarrestar4043]

Although I have already locked down my makeup preferences and don’t need to watch product videos anymore I always come back to yours because I just like your channel! I just love how you’re always laughing n it puts me in a good mood

[@Utubeacct]

I love this channel, its xmas 🎄 all year literally 😂

[@PurpleReign1401]

Wow I didn't know Gwen had lipsticks that weren't red. 😂 I don't know why they do foundations unless they let you pick your color because no matter what skin tone you put in your profile there will be multiple foundations to choose from for each skin tone. 1st box was good, I'd be happy with it. I'd probably have to mix foundations or get one of those color add ins, to hopefully make your foundation match you. I'd definitely email them about that.

[@lebr4385]

i love when you do ipsy unboxings, always fun!

I love bent eyeliner brushes, the shape makes me line the small zone close to the lashes with incredibly precision without my hand and wrist getting in my face. XD I get mine at Wycon, I have like 10 by now because they are my most used ones.

I love your videos! As to Ipsy make sure you make your choices on the 1st so you definitely won’t have the same items. And maybe cancel 1 or 2 of your boxes. 😊

[@taraedwards1892]

I would love to do a throwback colourpop unboxing and try on, I love to watch you do your eye looks they're so beautiful 💙

[@rockyylima4476]

Love your unboxing, please don't stop. I can't find why people would buy ipsy anymore, it was a time but it came through an end. But you could do the next advents calendars from smallest to biggest, it would be nice, I'm anxious waiting for more advent unboxing❤

[@lindahughes5781]

I seem to get so many lip products lately, and of course skincare. Haven't gotten mine yet and of course, I can't remember what I picked. The only thing that can save you is if there is a product you love you have wxtras!!!!😅

[@SussexSandra]

Hi Alexandria , I think if you update your profile will assist your power picks. But the main factor for variance is your Choices. My understanding is that Ipsy have set items they put in boxes depending on your choices with some consideration of your profile. If you don’t make choices, you will get the same items. I have 2 accounts. One based on my daughter who has different skin colouring, skin type, hair, age etc. I tend to choose the same choice item but my power picks will be different. Which is great. Hope that helps.

[@doxieowner2571]

Saskatchewan is the province in western Canada. Close, but not quite the same. lol
