### 1/5 — You literally can’t cancel it

*2026-08-16, version 4.3.2*

I loved ipsy but this is ridiculous. I’ve tried multiple times to cancel my subscription, it doesn’t work. Finally, for some reason my account now says i don’t have a subscription or any history of a subscription, but i’m still getting charged and still receiving the ipsy packages? Been almost a year now and i’m getting pretty tired of it. I’ve tried almost everything. I’m going to have to go to my bank and get it blocked or something because oh my god is this very annoying. I also am not sure why they have you choose what you want in the ipsy packages and choose your skin color and then they send you stuff you don’t want and the complete wrong color. What am i paying for?

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2026-08-11, version 4.3.2*

First order is cheap the rest is over 400$ and will charge card even when u cancel subscription ,do not buy or get anything from this app

### 1/5 — Overcharges!!!!!!!

*2026-08-06, version 4.3.2*

Don’t bother w the app if you like getting overcharged and no contact to assist you

### 1/5 — Colorist

*2026-08-03, version 4.3.2*

Only seems to offer me things marketed for Caucasian woman. Disgraceful. Just close down and refund ppl.

### 2/5 — Super laggy app

*2026-08-03, version 4.3.2*

The app constantly freezes and won’t let me add products to my cart. I eventually give up and go to Ulta instead. I pay more there, but the constant issues with Ipsy makes it frustrating and time consuming.

### 2/5 — It’s not even worth it.

*2026-07-25, version 4.3.2*

SHIPPING TO CANADA TAKES FOREVER!!!!! 
OK so I’ve gotten 3 bags from IPSY , the first time I ordered I hated my first bag, waited for the second to come in with better hopes & the zipper was broken on the bag bent couldn’t be fixed, & items inside it still wasn’t worth it. So I cancelled my subscription. 
Just decided after 2 years to try again, & nope lol, I didn’t even receive all items & when I emailed them they just said oops were mailing that item now and it’s been 2 months nothing. 
Cancelled my subscription again and won’t try again with Ipsy ever again. 
You get good deals on the little store however shipping takes EXTRAAA LONG!!! Not worth it lol.

### 2/5 — Very Disappointed

*2026-07-11, version 4.3.2*

They make it difficult to cancel subscription. I searched everywhere and thought I had finally canceled this subscription to find out that I was once again charged a subscription fee. This is the 2nd time I have tried to cancel. I feel like they tricked me into another payment .  A good wouldn’t have such dirty tactics!

### 4/5 — Long Time User

*2026-07-07, version 4.3.2*

Been a member for a very long time. Currently have the “Extra” membership, with the $15 monthly booster. 

I find that sometimes the add-on’s offered to purchase after building your box have BETTER options than the items I had to choose from for the box selections.

Also, it would be great if they could update their shopping cart to have the option to save item(s) for later.

### 3/5 — Ipsy person

*2026-07-03, version 4.3.2*

I can’t log in anymore because every time I click log in it just freezes and doesn’t let me log back in. I have already been an Ipsy customer but it’s making me log in again but I can’t log in. I’m getting packages of stuff from Ipsy but I don’t get to pick what I want. I like the products they’re good but it would be better if I got to pick some.

### 2/5 — Constantly  limited shades

*2026-07-03, version 4.3.2*

The idea behind it is great however they never have any of the lighter shades left in foundation or concealer or powder. Also sold out completely starting to get frustrating
