Ipsy Glam Bag Vs. Macy's Beauty Box July 2024 | A CLEAR WINNER THIS MONTH

[@starlighttartotwitchinwond6873]

The tarte fake awake is actually used in the waterline to make you look more awake I personally loved it

[@RobertaRich-n9c]

I got the Tarte product for free from Ulta. I think it’s called Fake Awake, it isn’t a shadow, it is a liner you use in the inner rim on the bottom of your eye to make the whites of your eyes brighter, thus looking more awake. That little size will last you a long time.

[@starlighttartotwitchinwond6873]

Definitely I got mine through ipsy and I love it and used I over a week every single days 😅

[@SubscriptionSisters]

Well I learned something new! Thanks ❤

[@shawnashook1635]

Macy's for the win.🎉🎉🎉 I'd rather a cheap fan to a repeat Refreshment bag.

[@joycemaccarelli5502]

Yes, I haven’t had ipsy in quite a while and I even have that bag

[@brendasantiago9901]

I agree with the perfume from Macy’s . I love getting them , disappointed when we don’t. Macy box wins this month.

[@faerie_waters]

I use those double sided brushes for travel. They go straight to my travel brush pouch. Totally agree that they don't work with the way most people store brushes!

[@awiens2329]

I got this bag as well, in 2022. I just got this bag again, as I restarted my subscription. This bag is also in line up for next summer. Anywho I did not know they brought on boxy charm. My last subscription was the 5 full size products. That's what I thought I restarted...Needless to say I was shocked. Shows I need to research prior.

[@tiffanychill8219]

I have about 4 of the genifique samples . I like them . I love sample perfumes . I love the bump eraser too

[@PWatts-ff2fd]

That fan might not cost much, but it looked cute with your outfit today! I used to love those fragrance samples! They were wonderful!

[@annettedoerscher618]

Love that fragrance

[@hevblumling4917]

I have ton of those old bags, I’ve been wrapping gifts in them for what feels like years. I swear shampoo and conditioner bundles came in them and they were so inexpensive that I bought a bunch of them in the Drop Shop 2 years ago+

[@melissamartin2770]

They actually still have refreshments.

[@JillZakszewski-jm9jl]

I think macys won! 🎉

[@elizabethbaldwin8488]

Ipsy bag twin. Im using the Lithe shadow. Its ok. I use the highlight and nude shades as my primer. The browns have fallout. I usually use Laura Geller shadows. Zero fallout and good pigmentation. Im spoiled with having used those

[@annamendoza3479]

Disappointed with Ipsy because 3 of the items I got did not match what I should get. Luckily customer service was able to send me the 3 items I was missing (Tarte, Seraphine, & I can't remember the last one). This is the 2nd straight year we got these bags for July. I have a theory on why we got these -- they're slowly phasing out Refreshments. They used to carry a full line of shampoos, conditioners, soap bars, etc, but they've been heavily discounted on the Ipsy shop. When you look at the Refreshments tab, all they're selling now are razors.

[@SHERRILOWE-wz4lg]

I think those Ipsy bags would make a great gift bag.

[@HonesTeaBeauTea]

There is actually a lot of the Tarte fake awake as it's not an eye shadow or an eye shadow primer... It's an eyeliner

[@SirenaSpades]

Love your necklace!

[@laura6796]

I vote for the Macy's box.

[@tammyshowsmerch2.0]

My favorite 2as macys.

[@legalpuppy8602]

I was so confused for a minute (not unusual), as I received my Ipsy bag quite a while back and couldn't figure out why you just got yours. Duh. You likely didn't just get it but rather waited until Macy's showed up. Agree that Macy's was a clear winner,.

[@fuzzybunnybutt]

Actually Ipsy sent out an email about our bags being shipped late. I just got mine yesterday. So guess u got lucky.

[@cynskin7]

I just went back to look at my shorts for IPSY and they gave us that same bag last July 😂 I wish they would’ve gave us something new instead. Thank you for sharing! 💗

[@SubscriptionSisters]

I knew it! Thanks for sleuthing

[@Paypaylove729]

This is my 4th time getting this bag and I just saw it for a $1 on the refreshments page.. they just can't get rid of them!

[@jennileealex]

The Ipsy bag was also used with one of the mystery boxes. Yet, was this mystery bag. Yes, over and over! I think I have three or four. Enough! 😊

[@SubscriptionSisters]

Yeahh...I don't mind once or twice, but it's getting ridiculous!

[@Divinediamonddexterity]

Ive only had ipsy for 3 months so i didnt get this bag but understandable for those who already have it

[@MontgomeryHabakkuk-x2p]

Landen Forge

[@bettytrout7405]

They do still have “refreshments” so I’m sure they do have an over abundance of the bags. Definitely not something we want as our bag!

[@debbiestuckey2239]

Macys definitely won this month

[@melissamccall1182]

Great series! So...I seriously hate the Ipsy bag! I will never use it. Yuck. I don't love the double ended brush for the same reason...I store them bristles up. The Tart product is ridiculous. I also got the palette...its fine, but no way is it that value. For Macy's...the fan is dumb, but I'm using it haha. I agree that Macy's won. The lip SPF is great and I've been using it...multiple uses.

[@SubscriptionSisters]

Even if it's dumb, I want it to be useful - so the fan wins! 😂

[@EFergDindrane]

Does either one tend to have more percentage of cruelty free products?

[@Paypaylove729]

Lol that Tarte liner is called Fake Awake not Take Away omg you made me laugh. I got that this month as well and it's a waterline liner to make you look awake haha 😂

[@elizabethbaldwin8488]

Yeah the refreshments bag was a big yuck for me, especially when i loved the june bag so much

[@SubscriptionSisters]

AMEN

[@Divinediamonddexterity]

I liked my ipsy bag and all the products i dont have macys

[@Divinediamonddexterity]

Ipsy is 17 a month for me

[@lyndsayryor]

Tarte Fake Awake is kinda viral for no good reason. I have a Nyx nude-colored eyeliner that works better. I think it's just because they gave it a name that indicates its purported use: to line your waterline and make your eyes look wider and more awake.

[@leslieballenger3690]

Ipsy pulled two stunts on me this month…I’m just about done with them.

[@ritafoster8625]

Ipsy bag twins

[@melissamartin2770]

Macy's definitely won.

[@lindacuadros1881]

The Lithe palette is $42.00 on their website.

[@SubscriptionSisters]

Holy smokes, that's crazy to me

[@faerie_waters]

Definitely not worth that! It's a nice color story, but not the best quality. Not Il Makiage or CT quality, which are at that price point.

[@TitusGranvold-g2f]

Davis Village

[@alikc25]

Macy.s wins.

[@juliejones2991]

My name is Louisa Jones ipsy win again

[@rosalindbrooks570]

Taylor Gary Gonzalez Ronald Williams David

[@jaxinthecity]

Macys by a mile.

[@KandeShack]

Ipsy is absolutely delusional with their prices!!

[@michelles4374]

Neither of them really look worth it. I unsubscribed from Ipsy months ago because of all the repeats, and same color palettes constantly.

[@SubscriptionSisters]

You might prefer the Allure subscription box, I feel like it's the most consistent value

[@alyshadenney]

Im so disappointed it's a refreshments bag! I wish for July they would do a red whit and blue bag! They haven't in my 12 years of getting the glam bag!! Do better ipsy!! ❤️🤍💙
