The time has come the walrus said...and that's all I know. Another month, another subscription box. Who will be the winner this time?
Let's start with Ipsy, first off, I hate the makeup bag. Not really a surprise for me, because there have been few that I've really liked. I'll be passing this one up for my purse the month.
The first thing I reached for was a double pair of kiss eyelashes. These are pretty cool, and probably at least $8 on their own, so good job Ipsy. The winner for me was the included applicator, can't ever go wrong with these. Hopefully it's a good quality pair!
Next is a Nailtini polish in the shade Caviar Cocktail. Really nothing too exciting for this polish, in my opinion of course, I wish it was something a little different. I have too many grey polishes.
Next is a lipstick from Be a Bombshell. I don't know the name, but it is a wearable red/pink color. It seems matte as well which is always a plus.
The next product is from Em Cosmetics and it is a Waterliner in the shade Amazing Silver (I'm pretty sure, don't quote me on that). I can't say I'm excited about this either, if it was black, I'd definitely wear it, but it probably won't get too much use by me, unfortunately, because I am curious about this line. I would have loved the mascara!
Another brand I haven't tried much from is Pixi and this is a Bronzer in the shade Subtly Suntouched. I wouldn't say this is a Bronzer, it's far too light, but maybe a Dummer blush? I'm not counting it out just yet.
...and my winner of the month is the full size Starlooks eyeliner in the shade Amethyst. It's a shimmering purple color, which I have nothing like. It's interesting, and definitely not an every day color, I will use it though. Very impressed.
Now moving on to Birchbox.
A deluxe sample of Beauty Protector Shampoo and Conditioner which retail for $21.95 each for full size. I haven't tried these, so I can't give much of a review, but shampoo and conditioner never go to waste in this house.
My next item is a Color Club nail polish in the shade On the Rocks. Another slight disappointment for me, I would have loved a different shade. I will say that these polishes are very impressive though and they retail for $8 full size.
The most exciting sample for me is the Dr. Jart BB Cream. I've heard great things about this, and it was in my list of want to try products, so yay! Full size retails for $32. My only con so far is that I can't seem to find a shade on the packaging, does it only come in one color?
Lastly is a perfume sample by Juicy Couture in their new scent Viva La Juicy Noir. It smells great, but I hate these little perfume samples...such a waste. They rarely get reached for by me.
Also, there was a Ghiradelli bar as well, but as you can see, it's gone. Delicious.
...and drumroll please...and the winner is...
IPSY!!! I feel like I will use the Birchbox samples more, but I was more excited about Ipsy. The products were a little more unusual, and as always they are bigger samples. Both were pretty good boxes this month though, I do admit.
What did you guys get in your subscription boxes?
