Did that monthly Ipsy Glam Bag excitement fade? Maybe your makeup drawer is overflowing, or perhaps you're just ready to explore different beauty avenues. Whatever the reason, canceling a subscription, even one you once loved, is a common experience. Navigating the process can sometimes feel like deciphering a beauty ingredient list, but it doesn't have to be stressful.
Understanding how to properly cancel your Ipsy subscription is important because it ensures you won't be unexpectedly charged for future bags. Nobody wants to receive (and pay for!) products they no longer need or want. Taking control of your subscriptions saves you money and declutters your life, allowing you to invest in beauty experiences that better suit your current needs and preferences. It's about making informed choices and managing your budget effectively.
What are the most frequently asked questions about canceling my Ipsy subscription?
What's the quickest way to cancel my Ipsy subscription?
The quickest way to cancel your Ipsy subscription is typically through their website. Log into your Ipsy account, navigate to the "Account" section, then find the "Membership" or "Manage Membership" area. From there, you should see an option to cancel your subscription. Follow the on-screen prompts to confirm your cancellation.
While canceling through the website is generally the fastest method, keep in mind that Ipsy sometimes tries to retain subscribers by offering discounts or alternative options before finalizing the cancellation. Be sure to read each screen carefully to ensure you're completing the full cancellation process and not just pausing your subscription or changing your plan. You may need to click through multiple confirmation screens. If you encounter difficulties canceling online, or if the online cancellation option is unavailable for some reason, contacting Ipsy customer support directly is the next best option. You can usually find their contact information (email or phone number) on the Ipsy website under the "Help" or "Contact Us" section. Be prepared to provide your account details so they can assist you with the cancellation process. Note that contacting customer service may take longer than canceling online due to response times.How do I cancel my Ipsy subscription online?
To cancel your Ipsy subscription online, you'll need to log in to your Ipsy account on their website, navigate to the "Account" section, then click on "Membership" and follow the cancellation instructions, which usually involve clicking a button to cancel and confirming your choice.
The exact wording and location of the cancellation options might vary slightly depending on updates to the Ipsy website layout, but generally, the process is straightforward. Once you're logged in, look for anything related to managing your subscription or membership details. If you have trouble finding the cancellation option, you can also try searching the Ipsy help center for specific instructions or contacting their customer support directly through their website. Keep in mind that Ipsy may offer you alternative options before you fully cancel, such as pausing your subscription or switching to a different plan. Be sure to read all the prompts carefully before confirming your cancellation to avoid any unwanted charges or shipments. After you've completed the cancellation process, you should receive a confirmation email from Ipsy verifying that your subscription has been canceled. If you don't receive this email, it's a good idea to check your spam folder or contact Ipsy customer support to ensure the cancellation was processed correctly.Will I still receive my bag if I cancel my Ipsy subscription today?
Generally, if you cancel your Ipsy subscription today, you will still receive the bag for the current month if you were already billed for it. Cancellation typically takes effect for the *following* month's bag.
Ipsy bills subscribers towards the end of the month for the upcoming month's Glam Bag. For example, you are typically billed around the last day of June for your July Glam Bag. Therefore, if you cancel *after* being billed, you are entitled to receive that next bag as you’ve already paid for it. Your cancellation will then prevent any further charges or bags from being shipped after that one last delivery. To be completely sure about your specific situation, it's best to check your Ipsy account details. Look for the date you were last billed. If the cancellation is successful, your account page should also reflect the end date of your subscription and confirm whether you'll receive a final bag. If you are unsure, contact Ipsy support directly through their website for clarification.Can I pause my Ipsy subscription instead of canceling?
Yes, Ipsy offers the option to skip a month instead of canceling your subscription entirely. This allows you to maintain your account and avoid the hassle of resubscribing later if you decide you want to receive bags again.
Skipping a month, often referred to as "pausing," is a convenient way to manage your Ipsy subscription when you're not interested in receiving a bag for a particular month. Perhaps you have too many products already, are going on vacation, or simply want to save some money. The skip option gives you the flexibility to take a break without losing your account details, Glam Bag X upgrade status (if applicable), or access to Ipsy Shopper deals. Note that you typically have a limited window each month to skip, so check the Ipsy website for specific deadlines. To skip a month, you generally need to log into your Ipsy account, navigate to your account settings, and find the "Skip a Month" or similar option. The process is relatively straightforward and can usually be completed in a few clicks. Keep in mind that skipping a month only applies to the immediately upcoming bag; you'll need to repeat the process each month you wish to skip. If you don't skip or cancel, your subscription will automatically renew and you'll be charged for the next bag. Also, be aware that skipped months do *not* count toward the overall subscription count sometimes used for bonus perks or special offers.Is it possible to reactivate my Ipsy subscription after canceling?
Yes, it is generally possible to reactivate your Ipsy subscription after canceling it. Your account typically remains active, even after cancellation, allowing you to resubscribe when you're ready.
Reactivating your Ipsy subscription is usually a straightforward process. You can typically log back into your Ipsy account through their website or app using your original credentials. From there, you should find an option to reactivate your membership. The exact wording may vary, but look for something like "Reactivate Subscription," "Restart Membership," or a similar prompt. Clicking on this option will generally guide you through the steps to update your payment information and confirm your resubscription.
Keep in mind that reactivating your subscription doesn't guarantee you'll receive the exact same products or Glam Bags you received before. Product availability changes each month. Also, reactivating close to the billing date might mean you'll be charged for the upcoming month's bag shortly after resubscribing. Check the billing cycle details carefully when reactivating to avoid unexpected charges. In some rare cases, if your account has been inactive for an extended period or if there were issues with your previous account, you might need to contact Ipsy customer support for assistance with reactivation.
What happens to my Ipsy points if I cancel?
Unfortunately, if you cancel your Ipsy subscription, you will forfeit any unused Ipsy points you've accumulated. They do not offer refunds or extensions for points after cancellation, so it’s best to redeem them before you cancel your Glam Bag or BoxyCharm subscription.
Your Ipsy points are essentially a reward system for your engagement with the Ipsy platform. You earn them by writing reviews, referring friends, and participating in other Ipsy activities. These points can then be redeemed for products in the Ipsy Rewards section, allowing you to try additional items at no extra cost (besides shipping in some cases). Because the points are tied directly to your active membership, once you cancel, the agreement that allows you to accumulate and redeem points is dissolved. To avoid losing your hard-earned points, make sure to check your points balance before you initiate the cancellation process. Browse the Ipsy Rewards section and find items you'd like to redeem. Keep in mind that popular items often go out of stock quickly, so it's a good idea to have a few backup choices in mind. Also, check the shipping costs associated with redeeming your points, as you might need to pay for shipping depending on your location and the reward item.Where do I find the cancellation link on the Ipsy website?
To cancel your Ipsy subscription, you won't find a single, obvious "cancellation link." Instead, you need to navigate to your Account page, then to "Manage Membership," and finally proceed through several confirmation prompts to finalize the cancellation. The process is designed to ensure you intentionally want to cancel your subscription.
Canceling your Ipsy subscription isn't as straightforward as clicking a single button, but it's still manageable. After logging into your account on the Ipsy website, locate your account details, often found by clicking on your profile icon. Within your account settings, you should see an option related to "Membership" or "Manage Subscription." Selecting this will begin the cancellation process. Be prepared to click through multiple screens and answer questions about why you're cancelling. Ipsy, like many subscription services, wants to understand why you're leaving and may offer alternatives to cancellation, such as pausing your subscription or receiving a discount. Remember to proceed carefully through each prompt, confirming your choice to cancel at each step until you receive a confirmation email indicating your subscription is indeed cancelled. Always take a screenshot of the final confirmation.Alright, you've successfully navigated the cancellation process! We hope this guide made things clear and easy for you.
