Hi dolls,
**I know this is super late, I had it written just never scheduled it for some odd reason.**
I’m sure by now you have heard of some sort of subscription box. There are so many on the market right now in every single industry. My favorite of course are the beauty boxes, even in this area there are so many to pick from, Birchbox, Ipsy, BoxyCharm, Elf’s Beauty Bundle, Target’s Beauty Box, Fab Fit Fun, GlossyBox, and the list goes on and on. Some of these are more expensive than others.
Two of my favorites are Birchbox and Ipsy, which is what we’re taking a look at today. I have been subscribed to Birchbox for 6 months now and this is only my second Ipsy. I am completely OBSESSED with these two companies. Both boxes cost $10 a month (a little more because of taxes), but I see those as pretty fair prices for the quality.
I often get more hair and skincare in my Birchbox, with the occasional makeup item thrown in, at first I wasn’t super excited about getting those types of products, but I have been trying out different things to get my skincare routine to where I want it to be and getting little (not really that little) samples of those products is awesome!
Ipsy is more geared toward makeup, also a lot of the times they throw in full sizes of products. Last month I received a full size lip gloss, which was absolutely GORGEOUS and a full size nail polish which I haven’t had a chance to try yet, but it looks so pretty! The thing that I love about Ipsy is that it more than pays for itself each month. The full size lip gloss alone retails for $13, and I only paid $10 for my bag and got more than one item, it really is hard to beat.
This month both of the subscriptions did me good! Check out what I got below, and don’t forget to check out my instagram @mixedbeautyconfessions for swatches and mini reviews!

Like I said, I got seriously great stuff in both boxes this month. Usually I have a favorite box of the month, but this month it is really hard to choose I love each for different reasons!
