Ipsy has launched a new subscription upgrade – the Ipsy Glam Bag X! The new Glam Bag X is $55 per quarter, and is a limited edition upgrade to Ipsy and Ipsy Glam Bag Plus. Glam Bag X will have 7-8 full-size products each quarter worth $350. The first bag, curated by Patrick Ta, dropped February 2021! Glam Bag Ultimate ended December 2020.

Think of it as your all-access pass to the most-coveted brands, hottest launches, and need-to-try products in beauty. Your Glam Bag X includes seven to eight full-size products (worth up to $350) specially curated by beauty’s biggest tastemakers and celebs, and you’ll even get to choose three from a personalized assortment—which, BTW, includes dibs on exclusive product drops you won’t find anywhere else.

New! Glam Bag X – $55 per shipment – that’s $43 every 3 months for regular members and $30 every 3 months for Plus members. If you have an annual IPSY Glam Bag subscription that you’re upgrading, you’ll be charged the full $55 for X and you won’t “use up” any of your annual plan.

  • 7-8 full-size products curated by a mega-celeb
  • Quarterly upgrade for Glam Bag and Glam Bag Plus that REPLACES your monthly bag
  • Packed in a purple box, while Glam Bag and Glam Bag Plus are shipped with a themed Glam Bag.
  • Choose 3 products each quarter
    • For each Choice spot in your Glam Bag X, you’ll get to choose from a selection of at least four products Ipsy picks just for you.
    • Ultra Personalization choice time (and shop Add-Ons) is open for Glam Bag X every 3 months from the 2nd through 3rd, starting at 3 p.m. ET.
    • If you still really want the bag, you can pick it in choice, but this may not be the best use of your upgrade dollars!
    • The remaining products Ipsy selects for you will be chosen using proprietary IPSY Match technology, which takes into account your Beauty Quiz, product ratings, and reviews.
  • A new Glam Bag X will drop in February, May, August, and November
    • Replaces your usual monthly bag, either your Glam Bag or Glam Bag Plus; if you have both, it replaces your Glam Bag Plus.
  • Each delivery is a $350+ value, plus free shipping
  • UPDATE: You must be an “active” IPSY subscriber in order to be eligible for Glam Bag X. That means you can’t skip the month of your X, or even the month before. We hear pausing might work if you have both a Glam Bag Plus and a regular IPSY sub and paused one but not the other. The upgrade process has been confusing at best. We’ll update more when we know more.

The February 2021 Ipsy Glam Bag X is curated by Patrick Ta:

Every limited-edition Glam Bag X is curated by a different celeb, with the debut drop presented by none other than Patrick Ta, world-renowned makeup artist to the stars. He’s the artist behind some of Hollywood’s glowiest goddesses, like Shay Mitchell, Gigi and Bella Hadid, Olivia Munn, Kourtney Kardashian, and…well, that star-studded list pretty much speaks for itself.

Can you choose any of your IPSY Glam Bag X items? Yes you can!

You get to build your *perfect* (read: most extra) Glam Bag X during each upgrade month starting on the 2nd at 9 a.m. ET until the 3rd at 6 p.m. ET. This is when you’ll discover your four to five celeb-curated picks, choose three faves from a personalized assortment, and shop your Add-Ons. So set your reminders! Your Glam Bag X gets you VIP access to exclusive drops, next-level brands, and so much more that you won’t want to miss out on.

Here’s all the details on Ipsy Glam Bag X Ultra Personalization:

  • For each Choice spot in your Glam Bag X, you’ll get to choose from a selection of at least four products Ipsy picks just for you.
  • Ultra Personalization choice time is open for Glam Bag X every 3 months from the 2nd through 3rd, starting at 3 p.m. ET.
  • Ipsy Glam Bag X still features 7-8 full-size products. The remaining products Ipsy selects for you will be chosen using proprietary IPSY Match technology, which takes into account your Beauty Quiz, product ratings, and reviews.

How are my products selected for me?

Four to five of your picks are curated by that month’s celeb and tailored to your preferences. You then get to choose your remaining three faves from a personalized assortment, and Ipsy personalizes your products using their proprietary IPSY Match technology, which takes into account your Beauty Quiz, product ratings, and reviews.

Do I have to choose?

Choosing is totally optional (but where’s the fun in that?). When you make your Choices, it helps IPSY learn more about your preferences, which means the Ultra Personalization experience gets better over time.

But if you want to make your Glam Bag X feel even more like a gift to yourself, you can let IPSY do the choosing for you by clicking “Skip Choice & Shop Add-Ons.” You’ll then be able to add your own personal touch with great deals on product Add-Ons.

What about Add-Ons?

You still have access to your Add-Ons on the 2nd of the month. You get to shop your Add-Ons as soon as you choose, so be sure to confirm your three Choices early. That way, you’ll get to complete your bag with product Add-Ons ASAP.

    I have both the Glam bag and glam bag plus, now I have the Glam Bag X as well. Which bag will be replaced by the X?

      It took a bit of searching Audrey but I found this on the Ipsy website: “During those months, your Glam Bag X replaces your usual monthly bag, either your Glam Bag or Glam Bag Plus; if you have both, it replaces your Glam Bag Plus.” I hope that helps! –Deb

      Hi Rebecca, please keep in mind that Hello Subscription is a site that reviews subscription boxes and you will need to contact Ipsy to resolve your missing bag. If it’s Glam Bag X that you are missing, then know that it only ships once a quarter so there wasn’t an April bag, but May is shipping now. If it was Glam Bag Plus or regular Glam Bag then please check out the Ipsy help center on their website or reach out to them via Facebook Messenger or Twitter. You can go to https://help.ipsy.com/lang/en_us/ and click the button on the bottom that says “Get Instant Answers” and a box will pop up for you to enter your information.
