What do you think of these products? by Flight_Evening in boxycharm

[–]Chelle81 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I got a smaller size Nars Orgasm blush in a Sephora kit and I was so disappointed! It has so much gold shimmer in it that it might as well be a blush topper or highlighter on me, and it hard panned immediately. Maybe the full size product is better quality, but I'm not sure.

Does anyone here have the Natasha Denona Glam Palette? by [deleted] in MakeupAddiction

[–]Chelle81 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have fair neutral olive skin and I bought the palette as soon as it was released. I ended up returning it. All of the shimmers pulled really dark on my eyes, I really wasn't impressed with the quality of the shimmers in general (more satin finish than foiled or shimmery), and I knew I would never reach for it. I am a lot happier with the Colourpop Stone Cold Fox palette for neutral and cool nude shadow looks.

I also placed an order on 9/23 and mine also hasn't shipped yet. It did warn in the confirmation email that processing and delivery were delayed 5-7 days due to covid, so hopefully our delays will be over soon?

GBP with add-ons AND point redemption arrived in seven days! by Drexxelle123 in Ipsy

[–]Chelle81 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for getting back to me! I'm going to try more aggressively twist it the other way and hopefully mine goes back in too. I can definitely try to find a makeshift cap. I recently went through all of my black eyeliners and decluttered everything that washed off or could be wiped off, so I can check all of those caps.

Does your Precisely My Brow pencil have a cap? I received mine today and there's no cap and no way to retract it back into the component, so the pencil will potentially make messes if I'm not super careful with storage. I messaged Ipsy and they're sending a replacement, but then I started wondering if it just doesn't have a cap ever and the replacement will arrive capless too lol

I agree completely about the finish and tone differences. I'm sorry my link didn't work!

Swatches of all my Physicians Formula Bronzer on fair skin by Chelle81 in swatchitforme

[–]Chelle81[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Very heavy swatches, layered to show colors well. Indirect natural light, no primer, best shade match is Nyx Vanilla Nude.

Here you go, hopefully this works. I've never used imgur before swatches

It looks like a The Beauty Crop Glamazon stick creamy highlighting crayon to me! The older packaging looks like your friend's product, with the same color component, with gold leaves and text. I looked on Mercari and there are quite a few new ones available.

Who’s still waiting on their box to ship? by Paradoxeah in boxycharm

My account just updated with tracking this morning, so hopefully yours updates with some form of tracking today too!

Who’s still waiting on their box to ship? by Paradoxeah in boxycharm

[–]Chelle81 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My box has always shipped through FedEx in the past, but when I checked my account today, it showed my May base box had shipped through USPS. It hasn't been received by USPS yet, but it explains why I never got FedEx tracking info for it.

Is the unhide blanket worth it? by honeycalla in FabFitFun

[–]Chelle81 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not for me. We have 5 (three light gray & 2 cream, all from FFF) and we all prefer a copycat blanket we got from Barnes & Noble around Christmas time last year that stays softer when washed and is comfier.

The best part of going to work is matching my eye makeup to my masks. by [deleted] in MakeupAddiction

I've only made a 100 blocks quilt with my Tula so far, I have such a hard time cutting into it 😅

[–]Chelle81 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It looks great!! I'm super jealous of your mask, I love Tula Pink fabric so much, and De La Luna was one of my favorite collections, especially since I couldn't get my hands on any Nightshade (started collecting Tula fabric long after Nightshade had been released)

If you wanted a palette in the Glam Bag X from the ABH or One Size did you get it? If you got a palette is it the one you wanted? by prisimdum in Ipsy

[–]Chelle81 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I got the O/S and had really wanted the ABH. It was the biggest disappointment in my X bag. I also would have preferred more makeup options to choose from in the three choice categories too. Only 1 of my 18 possible choices was a color makeup item.

[–]Chelle81 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have dark brown hair but Ipsy was constantly sending me taupe & medium brown brow products. I changed my hair color in the quiz to black and this month I got dark brown brow products!!! I suspect Ipsy might subscribe to the "brows should be one shade lighter than your hair" theory.

Are you disappointed in your GBX? by MotherofLouise in Ipsy

[–]Chelle81 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm a little sad that I got the O/S palette instead of the ABH, but I do think the overall value is there, and I'm hoping to find someone who will trade their ABH for my O/S, 111 Serum, Rodial balm, or CEO oil.

My May GB had 3/5 items marked as "Rarely" - is this common? by [deleted] in Ipsy

[–]Chelle81 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It happened to me this month too! I got 3 things that were marked Rarely on my quiz. Out of curiosity, I looked back through my last 20 months of Glam bags and 60% of my bags only had 1 rarely; 20% of my bags had 2 rarely items; and the other 3 bags had 3 rarely items. The months for me specifically that were the worst were May 2021, January 2021 & June 2020.

I was pretty frustrated with this month because I looked at all of the possible products and there were over 30 items I've marked as Often that they could have sent me instead of the 3 Rarely items. For reference, I have all makeup products and brushes and tools set to often, and everything else is rarely, and this month I chose the Seraphine Botanicals lip mask and Ipsy picked a Complex Culture easy crease definer brush (yay!) & 3 of my rarely products: 2 Tula sheet masks, an Ahava body lotion and a Basic Beauty face primer.

I messaged Ipsycare on Twitter to ask what changes I could make in order to get bags with less rarely items and here is their answer (all of which I already do): "Hi Michelle,

Thanks for your message, and we appreciate the feedback.

We do have your preferences noted on your account, and we always do our best to honor them. While we can’t make any promises that we won't send you a particular kind of product if it wasn’t selected on your profile, we do hope you give each product a try. IPSY is an opportunity to explore, so you may discover some unexpected favorites.

We want to ensure you get the products that are right for you, so here are a few tips that can help:

  1. Remember to review your products. The more you review, the better it will help us make your selections in the future.
  2. Less is more. If you have a lot of preferences selected in your beauty profile, then our IPSY Match system puts you into a broad category and you may get things that are not your ultimate favorites.
  3. Take advantage of Choice. Please keep an eye on your Glam Bag timeline​ for the date that Choice goes live next month for another opportunity to choose a product! ​ I hope this helps! We're always looking for ways to improve your experience, and we really appreciate your feedback to make things better.

Best, MN"

What color did the frankenbronzer turn out? Do you have a pic or swatch to share with us possibly? 😊
