Think of Add-Ons like a beauty bonus round. Whether you’re an IPSY Original, IPSY Extra, or IPSY Ultimate subscriber, Add-Ons let you load up your box or bag with extra full-size or sample-size goodies starting from just $3.50.

And the best part? They ship with your subscription (no extra shipping costs here!). From covetable lipsticks to cult-favorite skincare and so much more, Add-Ons are how we hook you up with more beauty faves—at members-only prices.

Already a member? Keep an eye on your account at the start of each month to score. Not a member yet? Take our Beauty Quiz to get started and see how Add-Ons work for your plan.

It's about glam time you treated yourself.

What Are IPSY Add-Ons?

Add-Ons are your chance to customize your monthly (or quarterly) haul even further with up to 15 additional beauty products on top of what comes with your subscription. They’re curated by us and offered at can’t-beat prices—so you get more of what you love, without paying the big bucks.

How Much Do Add-Ons Cost?

It’s super easy to make Add-Ons work for you because there are tons of options available for $3.50, $6, $12, $18, $25, and $50. Plus, they all ship with your bag!

When Are Add-Ons Available?

Add-Ons open on the 1st of each month at 12 p.m. PT and close on the 3rd at 3 p.m. PT. For IPSY Extra and IPSY Ultimate, Add-Ons open during your monthly or quarterly Build Your Box window. Pro tip: Set a reminder! Shopping early means you’ll have the widest selection of products to choose from.

How Many Add-Ons Can I Pick?

You can select up to 15 Add-Ons each month. Limits may apply per product. Whether you’re adding one perfect pick (like the dry shampoo you just ran out of) or building a full bonus haul (we love that for you!), Add-Ons are all about giving you more ways to play.

Do Add-Ons Work With Every IPSY Subscription?

Yes! Whether you’re subscribed to IPSY Original, IPSY Extra, or IPSY Ultimate, you’ll always have access to Add-Ons. The product assortment may vary slightly, but the perk is included for everyone.

How Do I Shop Add-Ons?

  1. Log in to your IPSY account on the 1st of the month starting at 12 p.m. PT.

  2. For Extra and Ultimate subscribers, make your choices during Build Your Box. Original subscribers can access Add-Ons from the timeline on their account. Either way, we recommend downloading the IPSY app so you don't miss out!

  3. Click to add the products you want to add.

  4. Check out, then you'll get a confirmation email. Then they’ll ship free with your upcoming bag or box.

What If Something Sells Out?

Add-Ons are super popular and quantities are limited, which means the hottest items can go fast. Shopping early gives you the best chance to snag your favorites. If something does sell out, check back or head to the IPSY Shop—sometimes restocks or similar options pop up.

Shipping & Tracking Your Add-Ons 

Add-Ons ship free with your regular IPSY bag or box, so there’s no separate shipping charge. Once your order ships, you’ll receive a tracking number, so you can follow your beauty haul every step of the way.

Final Thoughts

Add-Ons are one of the best ways to level up your IPSY subscription. With members-only prices, free shipping, and insider access to top brands, they’re designed to help you play bigger, bolder, and smarter with your beauty. Whether you’re topping off your routine with an everyday essential or scoring that viral must-have, Add-Ons make your IPSY experience even more worth it.
