Happy Tuesday all!
November was my second month getting a birchbox & my first month getting a glam bag so I thought it only appropriate that I compare the two.
Happy Tuesday all!
November was my second month getting a birchbox & my first month getting a glam bag so I thought it only appropriate that I compare the two.
If you don't know what they are, they are both a monthly subscription where you get a box/bag with 5ish brand name samples mailed to you each month for $10.
First up, in my birchbox this month was:
soy joy bars - cranberry flavor
fibre lash mascara
lulu organics-dry shampoo
color club nail polish
stell cadente miss me eau de parfum
My favorite product in this box was: The nail polish. It's a good color & I'll probably wear it next.
My least favorite product in this box was: The soy joy. I'm an extremely picky eater & I just did not like it at all.
A pro to birchbox: I loveee the box & the pretty wrapping paper!
A con to birchbox: I didn't feel I got my $10 worth this month.
In my glam bag was:
bare minerals marvelous moxie lipgloss
starlet intense eyeliner
nailtini nail lacquer in millionaire
the balm meet matt(e) eyeshadow
benefit they're real! beyond mascara
My favorite product in this box was: ALL OF THEM!! I really can't pick a favorite. I absolutely adore the balm eyeshadows so I was REALLY excited to see one in my bag! I'm currently wearing the nail polish, mascara & eyeliner, & I wear the lip gloss every other day now!
My least favorite product in this box was: If I had to pick a least favorite, I would probably pick the eyeliner. Only because I use a really good one so this one is just a little weak in my opinion.
A pro to ipsy: You get a new make-up bag every single time!
A con to ipsy: I really didn't see one this month.
Which one did I like better?
This month ipsy won hands down. Birchbox couldn't even compare.

Which one was a better value?
Ipsy was definitely the better value this month. I use every single product & feel I got way more than I paid for.

I've decided that for now, I'll keep both subscriptions.
At least for a few more months because I feel that I can't get a true comparison with just one months worth of boxes
I had never heard of Glam Bag until recently. I currently get Birchbox but have been thinking about trying something new.
ReplyDeleteso much fun stuff!! looks like a really neat idea!
ReplyDeleteHmmm maybe I need to sign up for Ipsy. I was thinking of doin Birchbox but I've heard a lot of people are disappointed.
ReplyDeleteNo idea they did stuff like this, I'm gonna need to get on that!! Birchbox is cute!! :)
ReplyDeleteI've never heard of Ipsy. I'm going to investigate.
ReplyDeleteI heard the same about Birchbox that Ashlyn did.
I'm one of the people who was disappointed with Birchbox. I had it for about 8 months but started getting repeats and lots of things I never used.
ReplyDeleteIpsy is intriguing! I love makeup bags & clutches, so it's right up my alley. Thanks for the great review & comparison!
I signed up for glam bag when it first came out, and my first bag was the second month they started. Sadly i cancelled after like 4 months because i was heading back to school and figured I should save the money. Now that I see your bag I'm considering going back! The first few months weren't anything too spectacular and the bags were kind of cheap. Looks like they stepped up their game though!
