Birchbox v Ipsy

[Deleted]

I can't decide which is best for me.

Do you have either? Do you like most of the products?

I have birchbox and I would say it's "eh" for me. The first few were awesome but now it doesn't seem as good. My friend just started Ipsy and was raving but I want to wait a few months to see if she is still raving before I try it.

I do Ipsy and it's really hit or miss. I've found some products I really like but it seems like the lotion to make up ratio is a little off. I'm set for lotions/hand creams for lyfe.

I did Ipsy for about 10 months and broke up with them happily. Seriously, the fake fucking eyelashes! Between fake eyelashes and orange-red lipstick... nope. I can buy my own NYX products at Target.

Have you heard of fabfitfun? It's a mix of beauty and health stuff, $50 a quarter (So $17ish a month) and insanely awesome. They sent me two separate boxes to review and I was shocked. $250-$350 worth of stuff in each one. Anywho, I'm just about to start actually paying for it.

I just canceled Ipsy. Some items I loved, like decent eyeshadow brushes, and different hair products. The bad outweighed the good though, they kept sending me silver colored eyeshadow and eyeliner every month, even after I updated my profile, and wayyy too many lotion samples. I was thinking of giving Birchbox a try.

There is another one called Beauty Army and you can choose what to get in your box.
I've heard really good things about Glossybox, too, but it's more expensive.
ETA: Boxycharm and Glossybox have more full sizes.

Look up Youtube user eleventhgorgeous. They unbox Ipsy and Birchbox every month and compare the items.

I did Birchbox for a while and got some great stuff. The perfume samples were out of control though. I wanted to do IPSY but there was a waiting list when I tried to sign up.
