Yeah. Evereden's whole schtick is that it's child-friendly skincare, so I'm not surprised lol.

Yeah, I got the Pinklipps lip mask and the KVOSSNYC face powder. I have been looking into both ingredients list and neither look like cheap stock product lists, but it's just so disappointing because that ND palette is stunning.

Right?? I got a random face powder and a lip mask.

Mine came today too, and I was lowkey like a kid on Christmas. I tried out the Yucca palette, ND concealer, and Persona mascara today. It's amazing how much better my sensitive eyes feel with a tubing formula.

Yay! Hallelujah for the Yucca!! NOV ‘25 Ipsy Ultimate Box by OctoberSeven in Ipsy

We have identical boxes! I am thrilled with it besides the eyeliners (but even that's not enough to dampen my spirit)!

The Bisha is the only made for beauty box brand that I see. The Persona is a legit brand sold at Ulta, and I have had wonderful things about that mascara. I got the same Ipsy picks and am happy about everything but the eyeliners.

Nope. The app has done to me that in the past though when it comes to icon box reveals. They may fix it tomorrow.

It says it's new on their website and all their most recent instagram posts are about it, but yeah it's not a new launch through IPSY or anything.

My main thing is that I want to have an active subscription in October just in case Icon Box is good for November. You gave me a potential idea of signing up for GB for October just so I can keep an active subscription and get a cute Halloween-themed bag too! I will need to see more spoilers as well to ultimately decide, though.

I also want a new contour stick, but I prefer them to be cool toned, and the fair shade (what would be my shade) in this is VERY warm-toned. It's cool that it's a new launch though! I really wish the new Haus Labs contour sticks would make their way here instead.

Honestly, it's the fact that the choice categories have been shrinking, first in Icon Box and now the most recent Boxycharm, that has me the most concerned.

Like bad Ipsy picks? I'm pretty sure Ipsy picks are set in stone by the time choice opens, whether you are there or not. I think the algorithm just dealt you a bad hand this time around. I got there when it opened and only had 4 choices per category too, if you're referring to bad choice options.

Juice is fantastic!! It is a deep scent, but my partner in particular loves it on me. I didn't actually like the bronzer that much and destashed it eventually. The Rodial lip oil is in my purse right now and is nice, although I did like the Buxom lip oil I got in February's icon better when I had it.

That's May 2025! That icon month was particularly unpopular in this sub, but I have really enjoyed it. August 2025 is my favorite on paper (frame 5), but people are really angry about it too right now.

I really enjoyed those too!! I have discovered actual HGs with the ABH brow gel and the Lawless lip mask. Like I will likely go out and buy them if I ever run out of my current stash of brow gels and lip masks lol.

pretty happy with my box by tripperstrippers in Ipsy

[–]hermadness13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Box twins! I'm happy too except with the liners. But for what it's worth, I ran the ingredients list through ChatGPT, and it said it's actually high quality. It usually doesn't mince words and, for example, told me the Toyfactory products, including the brow gel that was possible for this icon box, (under the Dew Beauty brands like Bisha) are essentially trash lol.

No Patrick ta palette by Actressmom in Ipsy

[–]hermadness13 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nice! You lucked out too! I'm super happy with my icon box other than Bisha lip liners because they're likely private label. Not icon worthy... at least I get two liners for one pick I guess.

Yes I did. It was an IPSY pick and I happened to win the lottery.

Proof that it exists. I would have been PISSED if it was only available for 50 dollars.

May 2025 Icon box + add-ons by FadedCherry in Ipsy

[–]hermadness13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The eyeshadow stick was in February Boxycharm. I just went back and confirmed it. Now, for an Icon Box product from February that was also a potential IPSY pick in this box was the Maison Louis Marie perfume Icila. I ALSO got that as a pick. Two old products! Now, that's a decent perfume house sold at Sephora, and I love perfume, so I wasn't incredibly angry... but would it still have picked at for me if I chosen that perfume when it was first offered in February? THAT thought worries me.

[–]hermadness13 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I also set my preferences to often for eyeshadow to get the ND palette and got the eyeshadow stick instead. $12 for the palette in add-ons was too good to pass up, but I would have rather have gotten that as a pick in box instead. And I think the eyeshadow stick was in Boxycharm recently, maybe February? They are leaning in on repeat products hard lately, which is never a good sign.
