For those of you who do not have Birchbox or Ipsy: Ipsy is $10 a month, and it is a service that sends you makeup, skin, and hair products. For $10, you usually get about 5 samples-sized or full-sized products. You also get an amazing makeup bag each month! You create a style profile based on your skin type or hair and they pick things every month that cater to you specifically. When you review the products each month you get points that go toward items you buy! If you love something you got in your bag, you can go online and buy more with the points you have earned!
For those of you who use Birchbox: Ipsy has much bigger samples and they even send a lot of full-sized products. I feel like they have better known brands and they also send you a new makeup bag each month. Birchbox leans towards hair and skincare more, when Ipsy leans towards makeup products.
My May Ipsy Bag:
-Makeup Bag that says “Contents: Pretty Important Stuff”. This bag is soooo cute and has made my purse it’s new home!
-Urban Decay Primer and Lip Gloss. They sent two samples Urban Decay’s high-color lip gloss and a full lip primer pencil!
-Blending Brush. Ok, brushes in general are super expensive and this blending brush is blush PINK.. need I say more?
-Briogeo Conditioning Leave-In Spray. This coconut oil based spray leaves my hair smelling amazing and leaves my hair feeling and looking silky smooth.
-Amie Moisturing Creme. This matte creme leaves your skin with a morning dewey look that is trending right now
-Gel Eye Liner- This bag came with a full-size Bellapierre gel eye liner pencil! It isn’t smudgeproof (boo), but it is still an amazing product to use when creating a cat eye!
Sign up to get Ipsy right away, and you can have the June bag sent to you in a couple of weeks!

I have never heard of Ipsy. I think it’s a great way to try new and different products without having to buy the full size. I need to look into it! I love trying new makeup.

I have heard of it, but didn’t know that much about it. That little bag is adorable…if it goes missing you’ll know where it is 😉 I wish I was into makeup, but I’m just not…I probably spend the money I would spend on makeup, on food and wine, haha.

I receive Ipsy and Birchbox every month and I do love when they send me full size eye liners, lip glosses, nail polishes, etc. I have a huge box of samples…I can’t see to keep up with trying them all but I do love the service. Not to mention, I love the little bags that the samples come in with Ipsy, they are always so cute.

which service do you like more? Birchbox or Ipsy?
I used to do Birchbox but quit… and never heard of this Ipsy – but I will definitely check it out! LOVE it!! Glam Karen
I don’t know how I feel about Ipsy. I like it and I don’t but again that is how I feel about subscription boxes in general.
I will say Ipsy has improved over the years and many youtubers are loving them right now!
