I know a while back we were talking about Ipsy subscriptions and I just wanted to tell you guys it's a lot less obnoxious to skip their wait list right now. All you have to do is share on FB, which you can edit the audience so it's private, follow them on Instagram, and then subscribe to their YouTube channels. All things which you can undo! You don't have to send invites to 10 friends anymore like you used to.
I used to get Ipsy, I loved the actual bags more than the content. Someone gifted me a six month subscription to get me to wear makeup.
I'm hoping it sparks something in me so I doll myself up more. I've gotten so plain Jane lately and there's nothing wrong with that, except I feel better about myself when I take the time to do my makeup and stuff.
How is ipsy compared to birchbox? I did birchbox for a little less than a year and ended up just having samples galore overfilling my draws. When we moved I passed them out to friends/family and garbage and canceled subscription.
I tried birch box for a bit and didn't love it. The only sample I actually cared for was an Amica dry shampoo because it smells great. Didn't seem worth the money so I cancelled. My best friend is a makeup artist so I rarely pick out my own beauty products, I love it. She just tells me what to get and hasn't steered me wrong yet. She usually can get her hands on samples of anything I want to try anyway. For this reason, paying for these sample sized products seemed even more wasteful to me. Unfortunately, we don't live close to each other anymore so I can't take advantage of her as much aha. I've been considering trying ipsy because I've heard good things (like pp said, bigger sizes), so thanks for posting this!

I've been curious about how these stack up, too. Have been doing Birchbox for a year, and seem to have a lot of dry shampoo samples on my hands. I did try Allure's Sample Society for a few months, too. More expensive, and I got a lot of skin serums that my skin is too sensitive for.

I like ipsy soooo much better than I ever liked birchbox. I got so much crap in my Birchbox that I canceled after only like 6 mos. I think when I got a pack of pop rocks I was over it. Ipsy is a little more tailored to your style and skin type/hair and eye color so I get a lot of stuff I'm actually super interested in.
I think I'd be pretty stoked to get some surprise pop rocks right now. But if I weren't pregnant it would annoy me
