When I canceled Ipsy a few years back it took forever to cancel. Same run around. I will not support a company that makes it this hard to stop a subscription. Great video!
I’m right there with ya, sister. Those damn bags! My guess is they have Brands creating products and sizes just for them. Not quite full size, sometimes- yet they claim the full size price as their value. I still can’t get over the fact that their premium box is the most expensive, yet offer the cheapest products - eyeliner and skin mask should NEVER be considered full size. I sent an email to them when my 111skin jar ($150+) was only half full. They did send me another. Yet, I wonder how many were just happy with their half full container. Ipsy cuts EVERY corner it possibly can, yet tries to convince you that you got $300 worth of products for only $50. I’ve looked up many products only to find their true full size are many ounces more than what we get. I found out that there are MANY companies that make Ipsy or Boxy only products or sizes so they are able to call them “full size” and quote the real full size price- not the cost of what you actually get. It’s also why you get the same items, in the same month or two,from each of them. Those damn bags- who needs that many? What can’t you opt out of cheap plastic bags? What the hell can you even do with them? I have a whole moving box full of them. They seem to nice to just toss, yet nobody wants them- couldn’t sell them in a garage sale and the nursing home and hospital turned them down. I miss the days when Ipsy was great. I had sky high hopes for the premium bag. Who they he’ll puts samples sizes in a $50 box? I am tired of them getting mega cash of these cheap boxes. I fully believe they’d loose most of their customers if they knew just how shady Ipsy is.
THANK YOU for posting this because I have actually been on the fence about canceling my Ipsy for a couple months now, but I keep talking myself into keeping it for those EXACT reasons you were complaining about!!! 😤😤😤 I think your VERY REASONABLE conclusions finally convinced me 🤣🙌🏽👍🏾 But I gotta say, this might be fucked up for me to do, but when I have encountered “brand shenanigans” 😋 like this, and I can’t figure out HOW to cancel without dealing with one of those damn WHINING representatives, I have actually gone in the account and deleted all my bank information, as well as blocked them from my bank account, so that they just have NO OTHER CHOICE but to cancel me!!!! Yes, I realize that’s really underhanded of me, but sometimes what the HELL can you do?!? ESPECIALLY when you are like me and I have a very DEEP SEATED phobia of talking to people like this on the phone 😳😳😳😑
@@KaraChapman Omg yesss! One of my other fav quotes! I had an experience like this trying to cancel a skincare subscription service. Had them skip 3 months multiple times until they wouldn't do it anymore.😂
I needed this laugh. These companies really grind my gears with this loop of nonsense. I just cancelled BoxyCharm - sweet jesus if one of those damn boxes show up.. I'm gonna lose my mind.
It's so unnecessarily difficult. It pisses me off on behalf of people who may not read well or who don't speak English as a first language; I feel like this kind of BS is exploitive.
Omfg such a scam uhhh!! I low-key just talked to the bot, for deleting my account, OMG it was literal hell! Such a scam. Don't trust this website. Uhhh
I had Ipsy when they first started, and after three months of getting a makeup bag with the same type of products, lips, brush, etc I decided to cancel my subscription. Again this is when they weren't full of themselves, and just starting out, so I had no problem. Sorry you had difficulties canceling your bag.
I canceled months ago & haven’t looked back since. I used to love Ipsy but in the past 6-8 months, they’ve really gone downhill. I was so excited when they announced the Ultimate & I immediately upgraded. When I got my first ultimate box I canceled altogether. It was terrible.
almost criminal. I have a friend who wishes to cancel her subscription for a whole year now. Each time, exactly like you said, hell with it just take the money. There are so many victims. I think if you start a gofundme account I would so willingly give you a donation to boost your video. More and More people need to know this before they sign up for this scam.
I've been considering cancelling my ipsy and Sephora play, but seeing this has annoyed me enough with ipsy to actually want do it even more. Ugh it's so done.
This is your first video I've seen Kara! It caught my attention the most lol. I enjoyed the chat on Amy's channel so much last night I had to check you and the other Kara out, and really I don't have a ton of devote to YT beauty vids and so thus am pretty picky, check into livestreams only rarely if it happens to work out. And of course I recognized you from the community, I dig you guys so much! Def my peeps. Xx
My final day was today. Absolute garbage that I am never going to use and like you said I don't at 46 years old wants someone else choosing my make up that I'm paying for. It's like throwing darts in the dark very rarely do they hit something zips that's what you wanted or what you're aiming for. Similar to you I thought I had canceled it months ago until my husband pointed out that they took another however many dollars for the bag the box and the boost. But I would like to touch on this beauty boost thing one time I got the Elemis marine cream. It was nice, that was the first and last time I ever got a beauty boost that I would have possibly... mind you possibly purchased on my own.
Ugh. I got Ipsy for 5 months and realized I could've bought an eyeshadow palette I actually wanted instead of getting mostly samples and crappy brushes. I don't remember it being this hard to cancel. They must've "improved" their cancellation procedure. 🙄
Ur still gonna get emails from Ipsy even after u cancel. They’re gonna try to temp u w/ advertisements of the different tier bags. After I canceled, I received an email about 2 weeks later wanting me to complete a survey. I took it. It was a long survey too-took me like a half an hour.
Before even watching this (I'm sure I'll be agree with every single word you say) I NEVER paid for a subscription box or a mystery box in my life... because 1 I HATE susprises. I'm the kind of person who gives their friends and beloved ones a list for birthday and Christmas with even the price of the single items so they can have option depending on the budget. No useless crap for me, I cannot lie well so people would read on my face immediately if something they gave me isn't appreciated. I can bluff only at poker. XD Personally I'd purge all subscription and mystery boxes (unless they are Halloween themed) because: 2 they are overpriced, 3 skincare is always too aggressive or with silicones so it doesn't get along well with my skin, I have too particular tastes for my makeup (I'm for funny colors and experimenting, edgy lip colors, no pressed glitters, no makeup for the face but basic color correction and annoyed at too thick or jelly consistencies) or for my clothes and accessories. Plus 4 you basically spend money on stuff you don't know what it is, the odds to like EVERYTHING is near 0, and even if you like this... you are literally filling your home with more stuff every month or similar, not a good idea. I already have enough makeup, clothes, accessories and skincare just shopping online or in store by myself, and still somehow have three bags of skincare and makeup I need to give away for the reasons said above.
I’m not happy with June bag from Ipsy ,Im not celebrating pride month .don’t force that on me.and seems more like stuff I won’t use . I’m going to cancel soon .

I agree! That is why I cancelled everything for this year. My money is going to go to the things that I really want to try this year

This reminds me of that Friends episode where Chandler & Ross are trying to quit the gym repeatedly which turns into "I WANNA QUIT THE BANK!"
LMAO! Yes!!!
Also kind of feels like "Pivot! Pivot!!"
@@KaraChapman Omg yesss! One of my other fav quotes! I had an experience like this trying to cancel a skincare subscription service. Had them skip 3 months multiple times until they wouldn't do it anymore.😂
@@jessicarose0528 I was tempted to that with this nonsense.
I spent many hours on Pinterest trying to find crafts to use up my Ipsy bags 😂😄
That's a smart idea! I kept giving them to my daughter until even she was like "Mommy, I don't need these". lol

I quit ipsy last year ....must...not....re-subscribe ....AHHH ! The struggle is real lol
NASA doesn't have these many steps to launch a rocket ship 🤣🤣🤣🤣😂
Where's the lie? lol
When I cancelled boxycharm it was at least 6 steps.
This is ridiculous lol

Thank you so much Naomi!! Both Amy and Kara Jeanne are great and I love getting to interact with them during livestreams.

Yeahhhhhhhhh i cancelled my ipsy shit too

Try cancelling Goodfood 🤬🤯😤
They took money out of my account and I didn’t get nothing absolutely nothing am upset about this to have a customer service and bring back the money
I hate Ipsy. I’m still receiving their makeup bags even tho my subscription is “supposedly” canceled
💜💜💜
Ur still gonna get emails from Ipsy even after u cancel. They’re gonna try to temp u w/ advertisements of the different tier bags. After I canceled, I received an email about 2 weeks later wanting me to complete a survey. I took it. It was a long survey too-took me like a half an hour.
Those bastards email me at least once a week. The next one I get, they are going on the blocked list.
