Beauty boxes!

I have a new addiction. Birchbox and Ipsy have been my bread and butter lately. I have spent WAY too much on them! After sampling products that are so awesome, I inevitably buy one of my products each month! That being said, every penny was worth it. Its like I'm getting a present every time I open the mailbox to find one.  For those of you who are not in the know, beauty boxes are monthly subscriptions. Birch and Ipsy are both only $10 a month and you get a variety of high end products to sample. They each have their ups and downs, but for ten dollars, I'm not complaining. Each month I am going to start posting my boxes to share my goodies with y'all! ;)

This is what I have found from my first boxes from each company...

Birchbox
   Pro- The products are truly high end. It's like a small spa kit in the mail. :) I like this box because I feel I definitely get my moneys worth.
   Con- The box is more hair and skin oriented, so not many makeup products. Although I have gotten several polishes I really enjoyed.

Ipsy
Pro- This box is ALL about makeup, which I adoreeee! I like that the makeup brands are always high quality. The product size is VERY generous as well. This sub is the best for the money on value. You also get a makeup bag with every months box!
Con- Sometimes I get products that do not fit my skin tones! This can be especially frustrating for someone with very fair skin like mine.  A person with a darker complexion can easy pull off a wide array of colors, but us pale kids are on a pretty set color diet.

With that being said, I couldn't pick between them. They are both awesome and well worth the $10 I spend on them each month.
