Can’t login

I would give this app a 5 ⭐️but I’m not able to login in .

Love Ipsy BUT

Why does this app suck? I literally have to kill the app and reopen it constantly.

Worst UI

IPSY is decent. The UI is terrible. It tells me I’m not logged in, hard to navigate. Logs me out. I think I’m leaving a review and it’s trying to upsell me. Needs a better user experience.

Almost Impossible to delete account

They have made it almost impossible to delete your account. I had to search it up to figure it out and I still didn’t get very far. Email after email even after I said I didn’t want emails any more.

Not working

App won’t work keeps saying my internet is not working.

Unhappy

Did not have a great experience. I selected my 3 choices. In the app it said my choices were locked in and then showed me 2 other items that we don’t get to pick. Fast forward to my box and received all different items that I won’t use. In my sign up I said I don’t wear make up and they sent me 2 bronzer and 2 setting sprays and 2 lip glosses/sticks and I’ve only had it for 3 months. Even when I made my picks they just sent me whatever they wanted. Customer service was a bot that just kept asking me the same question over and over. Trash!

Can’t cancel

I cancelled my subscription, still got charged and they refuse to refund even though I have email confirmation of the cancellation. They say “Oh the cut off is the 25th”. I cancelled and they didn’t charge me until the 31st?! So you mean to tell me that I cancelled a full 6 days before you charged me and I can’t get a refund? Disputed with my bank and blocked them from ever charging me again. They are ridiculous and greedy. Never in my life have I cancelled a subscription and been charged for it 6 days later for them to say “sorry, you cancelled too late in the month” What?!

Good products but bad service

Ipsy is a good way if you want to try new products. I like it for that reason. But if you have a subscription it won’t let you decide if you want to continue with it or not. It makes you order without your permission. I think Ipsy needs to change that because it’s not right if you get fined for something you didn’t want. I know I should’ve checked it or something but it still is disappointing.

No landscape mode

IPSY is fun, but this app isn’t fun if you use a Magic Keyboard with your iPad, since there is no landscape mode.

Can’t cancel

Don’t worry if you ever want to stop you can’t ! It will tell you to enter your username and password and constantly tell you it’s wrong. You can delete it and un download it and clear it out and it still won’t work. also you never speak to a real person if you have any problem they also do not have a customer service number

FIX YOUR APP

Seriously IPSY? Pay attention to your reviews…your devs must be on extended vacay because the bugs keeping us from being able to shop without the app 💯 freezing/becoming non responsive HAS to be dipping revenue enough for you guys to care/notice. This has been documented by customers for MONTHS now - act like you care.

I was scammed

I have been fighting with this greedy company for months over accidentally re subscribing. I asked for a refund and they said they don’t do refunds but I never received a package either. they stole my money and just never contacted me about it. I have tried to reach out so many times only to be talking to an ai bot. Greedy horrible company

You literally can’t cancel it

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?

Terrible

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

Overcharges!!!!!!!

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

Colorist

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

Super laggy app

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.

It’s not even worth it.

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.

Very Disappointed

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!

Long Time User

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.
