BATTLE! Ipsy vs Birchbox December

Here we are again for a battle of the subscription boxes! I have to be honest with you guys, this will be the last month of these post. I did cancel my subscriptions. For two reasons, but let's get into that after we find out who the winner is...

BATTLE! November Ipsy vs Birchbox

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? 

Blogtober Day 16! BATTLE! October Ipsy vs Birchbox

Another month, another subscription box. Which one will be the winner?!  Starting off with Ipsy, the bag is really cute this month. The quote on the bag saying, "Love of beauty is taste. The creation of beauty is art." I think that is pretty cute!  The first thing is a full size Coastal Scents Medium Shader Brush. It seems like nice quality and I have never tried their brushes so I'm excited about that.                Next is a 1 oz body lotion by the brand Nourish Organic. It's Coconut and Argan and it smells very strongly of Coconut. Coconut is not my favorite scent, but lotion will always be used by me.               Next is a full size Zoya Nail Polish, I don't know the name, but it is a very pretty color. A dark blue/purple halo graphic color. Pretty nice!  I also received a pigment by Bella Terra Cosmetics. It's a dark shimmery purple color and another very pretty shade.    ...

BATTLE! Ipsy VS Birchbox September

Another month another subscription box. Am I over it yet? A little, but I keep trying for the best. I learned this month that quite a few of my co-workers are subscribed to these boxes and that was kind of exciting. We compared, of course we're women.  Birchbox came first this month so lets get started.                     First is a nail polish by the brand Ruffian in the shade Hedge Fund. It is a really pretty Fall color that is definitely "in" right now. I've never heard of the brand, but I do like the color so it's worth a try.                  Next is the Caudalie Makeup Remover cleansing Water. This will probably get used, but I do wish I got something else from Caudalie. It's an "ehh" in my opinion.                   For the 3rd month in a row (at least it seems that way) another hairspray. This month is Amika Bombshell Blowout...

BATTLE! Ipsy vs. Birchbox August

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 ...

BATTLE! Ipsy vs. Birchbox

Once again, when I received my boxes I was excited to see which one would win!  Surprisingly, I received Ipsy first, last month it took forever to arrive! I had seen a small sneak peak and I wasn't too excited for this.        The makeup bag this month was a winner! I'm a sucker for see through bags. I feel like I get so much more use out of my products because I can see what's in there.        The rosy product that caught my eye was a deluxe sample of Big Sexy Hair Weather Proof Hairspray. My first thought was , "What? I don't need big sexy hair? Didn't they read my profile?" Especially since the other item was Healthy Sexy Hair Beach Waves Spray, which I would definitely get more use out of. After my initial shock, I realized I will use this product, but I would have preferred the other item.       Next was the Benefit box, I always get excited about Benefit. Unfortunately, I do already have this product. I do really enj...
