I love a good subscription box just like any other woman. It's like Christmas comes once a month! I have been subscribed to Ipsy for over a year and really enjoy and use the products 99% of the time. You also receive a really cute bag which is a great bonus in my opinion! I decided a few months ago to subscribe to Birchbox, and compare the two for a few months, and let y'all know which is the better bang for your buck! Both bags cost 10.00 each. You can sign up for Birchbox here and sign up for Ipsy here.

Products received in Ipsy bag:

Alterna Caviar Anti-aging Miracle Multiplying Volume Mist

Retails: 28.00

Verdict: Worth it! I have wanted to try products from this line before but was afraid to spend the money but, I love, love, love this mist! It leaves my hair soft and smooth while also adding volume.

Beau Gachis Paris Eyeshadow Brush

Retails:12.00

Verdict: Worth it! I use it to apply my lid shade. Its thick and does the job!

Makeup Forever Step 1 Primer

Retails: 37.00

Verdict: Not a fan. I felt oiler then I was before I put it on. Wasn't for me!

Pixi Blush Duo in Rose Gold

Retails: 18.00

Verdict: Not a fan. I am not one that likes looking really 'glowy' so this product wasn't for me.

Starlooks Luxe Eye Liner Pencil

Retails: 19.00

Verdict: Love it! I have oily eyes and eye liner always gets in my creases. This product stayed put all day!

Products received in my Birchbox this month:

The Balm Cosmetics Stainiac

Retails: 17.00

Verdict: It was okay... You had to apply a lot to get any color pay off. If you wanted a simple wash of color for your cheeks or lips this is right up your ally. If you want something pigmented I would suggest another product.

Comptoir Sud Pacifique Vanille Abricot

Retails: 85.00

Verdict: Not a fan.. Only because I am extremely picky when it comes to perfume! Way to sweet for me!

JUARA Radiance Enzyme Scrub

Retails: 38.00

Verdict: Love it!! It left my skin feeling so soft and glowy. I have been using it for a few days and I feel like it leaves my skin looking so bright!

Number 4 Clarifying Shampoo

Retails: 32.00

Verdict: AMAZING! I wash my hair everyday because it usually feels soo greasy that not even dry shampoo can help! I used this one morning and didn't have to wash my hair for 2 days! It is perfect for getting all the 'gunk' out!

Number 4 Reconstructing Mask

Retails: 58.00

Verdict: Love it! I love using a mask on my ends and even though you only received a small amount. I was able to get three uses out of it! I would recommend this product to anyone struggling with brittle ends!

Which one was my favorite?!?!

Overall, my Ipsy bag was 100% worth it this month. I got to try new brands I haven't ever tried before and got a really cute bag! I am excited to try more of the Caviar products!

While I got to try new products I haven't ever tried before with Birchbox, they weren't necessarily products I couldn't live without. Another downfall with the Birchbox products were they were a lot more expensive then the Ipsy items!

Are any of y'all subscribed to monthly subscription services? If so which ones, I would love to hear!

Thanks for stopping by!
