IPSY Pricing 2025 – How Much Does the Beauty Box Cost?
If you’re curious about how much Ipsy will cost you each month, you’re in the right place. Ipsy offers three main plans, each with a different price and a different number of products. Below we break down the numbers, explain what you actually get, and share a few tricks to stretch your budget.
What Are the Ipsy Plans and Their Prices?
In 2025 Ipsy still runs the same three tiers:
- Glam Bag – $12 per month. You receive five personalized samples, plus a mini product to try. Shipping is included.
- Luxe Bag – $22 per month. This bag gives you 10 products, including at least three full‑size items. Shipping is covered.
- Premiere Bag – $35 per month. You get 12 products, with at least six full‑size items, and a premium cosmetic brand every month.
All three plans renew automatically, so you’ll be billed on the same date each month unless you pause or cancel.
Extra Fees and How to Avoid Surprises
Most people think the monthly price is all they’ll pay, but there are a couple of extra costs to watch out for. First, if you live outside the UK, customs duties may apply. Second, if you add a “gift add‑on” during checkout, that will increase your total. The good news? You can skip the add‑on and still get the core bag for the listed price.
Another hidden cost is the "late fee" if you miss a payment. Ipsy will try to charge the card again, but if it fails, they may suspend your bag until the issue is fixed. Keep an eye on your bank statement to avoid this.
Now, let’s talk value. A typical Glam Bag costs $12, but the five samples are worth about $35 at retail. The Luxe Bag’s 10 products can total $80‑$100, and the Premiere Bag often exceeds $150 in retail value. If you love trying new products, the price per item is a solid deal.
Here are three quick ways to get more bang for your buck:
- Pause during busy months. Ipsy lets you pause for up to three months. Use this if you’re traveling or don’t need extra makeup.
- Use referral codes. A friend’s code can give you a free month or a discount on your next bag.
- Swap for a full‑size product. If you love a sample, upgrade it to a full‑size for a small extra charge instead of buying a new bag.
Overall, Ipsy’s pricing is transparent—just $12, $22, or $35 per month—plus any optional add‑ons. Knowing the exact costs and the value of what you’ll receive makes it easy to decide which plan fits your budget and beauty goals.
