Another month has come of subscription boxes! I have to say, I have really been thinking about canceling. I know it's not much, but $20 a month can buy one product that I want, instead of 10 samples I'll never use. With that said, this months boxes might have changed my mind.
First is Birchbox. I didn't receive a confirmation email this month so when it arrived I was surprised.
First was an eyeliner by Mally in the shade Sailor.
The shade is a very dark navy that looks almost black. It really is a beautiful color. I have never tried Mally products, but this seems like a good product to start with. You can always use an eyeliner, so I feel like it will get use.
Next is Miss Jessie's Super Slip Sudsy Shampoo. I can't say much about this because I haven't tried it, but the other products I've used from this brand have been great. They smell amazing, but for the price, I don't think I'll ever invest in the full size.
Oasis Pure Moroccan Argan Oil. That's really all I have to say about this. I feel like everyone is coming out with Argan Oil, and unfortunately I just don't see what all the hype is about.
Last but not least, a pretty good size sample of Becca foundation, with 6 different shade choices. Unfortunately, all 6 are for dark skin tones, an that is not me. On the back of this pamphlet, there is a shade list and these colors are the 6 darkest, so they won't get use by me.
Ipsy came two days later and the battle was on.
The first thing I grabbed was the new Urban Decay Revolution Lipstick. I have heard a lot of people talking about these recently, but I'm not huge on lipstick so I wouldn't have gone out to huy this on my own.
The color I received is Anarchy. It's a bright pink that is beautiful, but it won't get much use by me since I have bright red hair! Whoops! Although, the formula of these is amazing. Definitely worth a shot if you find the right color for you.
Next is the Pacifica Alight Multi Mineral BB Cream. Usually when I receive products like this, they are the wrong color (just like Birchbox this month), the cool thing about this product is shade matching. I'm intrigued! The only bad thing so far, is it smells like sunscreen, but I will still give it a shot.
Next is Mica Beauty Cosmetics pigment in the color Bronze. As you can hopefully see in the picture above, it is a gold shade, which is very pretty. I'm not big on pigments, but it is very pretty!
Next is Pixi brand Lash booster Mascara. I have tried Pixi brand before and it's good! I don't want to open this yet, I like to save sample mascaras for trips and things, so I can't give you a review, but mascara is always nice to have. You can't really have too many (don't tell my boyfriend I said that).
Now I've saved the best for last, Michael Todd Jojoba Charcoal Facial Scrub. I have heard so many people talking about this, and I was planning on purchasing a full size so this couldn't have come at a better time. I am excited about this one, please expect a full review!
So the winner for August is...Ipsy! The only thing I didn't enjoy about Ipsy was the makeup bag that was given this month, everything else will definitely be used! I'm very excited about this one.
The good news for August, is these two boxes made me decide to keep my subscription, at least for one more month.
Thank you guys!
