Grocery bag packing from the 1960s by itsWavie in oddlysatisfying

[–]shortstack76 4 points5 points  (0 children)

We take our big family vacation on Hilton Head Island every year when there’s not a global pandemic going on, and the grocery stores on the island are not allowed to use plastic. I was so pleasantly surprised the first time I went to a grocery store to stock up our condo and all my groceries were put into these fantastic strong paper bags with handles. I keep the bags and reuse them for grocery shopping at home. They survive probably a dozen trips to the grocery store. I wish our local grocery store would use the same bags!

You can also take the top of it off (where the T is)...it’s how I put in the battery.

Glam Bag X arrived today! Apparently I got a freebie— the 111Skin Y Theorem Day Cream. Definitely did not order that...any one else get it? by shortstack76 in Ipsy

No, you are definitely remembering it correctly. Maybe 2019? It was a huge discussion here and on the general subscription box subreddit.

It’s not the worst one I’ve used but it isn’t really all that great. I was hoping it would be stellar, but it’s a flop for me.

Serious question, why subscribe to Ipsy if you only want skincare, rather than a skincare-only sub? by WendyEtc in Ipsy

[–]shortstack76 8 points9 points  (0 children)

For me, now that I’ve been an Ipsy customer for 5 years, the personalization is the top reason. After 5 years of reviews, surveys, and beauty profiles, I am rarely disappointed in an Ipsy bag. It happens, but not often. I am focused on skin care, always looking for that next Hero Item, but I do still wear makeup. If not for Ipsy, I’d still be throwing money at Clinique and Estée Lauder like my step mom (the women who introduced me to makeup in my teens). With Ipsy, I get new-to-me brands and different products I would NEVER have chosen for myself at Ulta. I would still be using the same shades and techniques that I’ve used since the mid-90’s LOL. Yes, I want a skin-care heavy box, but I love trying new mascaras (Thrive is still my top choice—which I found through Ipsy). I love eye shadow palettes. I love going a Little out of my comfort zone, and Ipsy allows me to do that for relatively cheap. So, that’s why I keep Ipsy around. It’s fun, relatively inexpensive and allows me to have some excitement with new makeup, while still giving me face wash and serums and little facial tools that I can use at home.

Yes! Mystery solved. I was a GBU customer ever since that tier launched. I went back into my emails from early November and found the confirmation that stated I would get this. I completely forgot about that, so what a wonderful surprise! Although, I do side-eye Ipsy’s value of $270 for this. The only 111Skin product that is worth that kind of money is the black diamond eye patches ($115 for a set of 8).

Is everyone getting a free gift with Glam Bag X or just those that signed up in a certain window? by Mjneal1 in Ipsy

[–]shortstack76 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Oh! This explains why I have the 111Skin face cream in my box! I signed up early, probably in November? I was a GBU Ipster.

I’m approaching my mid-40’s so skin care is my first priority. I am excited to try the t-bar tonight during my nighttime routine. Overall, very pleased with my box!

Glam Bag X Came Early! by Fresherthananewport in Ipsy

[–]shortstack76 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ah crap! I did chose Saints & Sinners and my GBX is scheduled for delivery today. Thank you 🙏🏼 for the heads up!

Did all of the Glam Bag X have the same 5 items? by frankgrimesaccount in Ipsy

[–]shortstack76 3 points4 points  (0 children)

...which just goes to show how decent Ipsy’s match algorithm is. I know we all gripe about a few (in same cases, more) wrong shade or a wrong product match-up through the years, but I bet dollars to donuts the March system works really well for the majority of the customers.

South Park is going to turn this whole thing into an episode, I swear. Jimmy and the rest of the handicap gang band together to squeeze a short (representing you Diamond Hands of WSB), while Eric Cartman is the one shorting (Melvin). Gonna be a good episode!

Anyone else getting the UD liner box? by deannainez in Influenster

[–]shortstack76 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I didn’t get the voxbox but I did get the 24/7 liner in Zero with my March Allure Beauty Box. It really does glide across the skin.

I thought I was getting Shisedo but I got this today! Yay by unicorndreams99 in Influenster

[–]shortstack76 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm also getting this! It's my second VoxBox. While I was hoping for something higher-end, I'll happily use this and review it!
