Birchbox vs Ipsy...November 2012

So it's that time!!!!! I have received both of my beauty subscriptions for the month of 

November so I can finally discuss them with you guys, yaaaaaaayyyyy!!!!!! :)

My Glambag now known as Ipsy arrived way before my Birchbox did, KUDOS!!!! But I will cut Birchbox some slack since Hurricane Sandy did hit where their warehouse is located. So lets get started.....

I am going to start with my Ipsy, formally known as My Glambag. This is my first month receiving this bag thanks to my amazing boyfriend :) <3 I have go to say, GREAT job Ipsy!!!! I was extremely happy with this bag and loved everything that received. I was also impressed to see that I had to full size items in my bag, absolutely a plus!!! I am definitely looking forward to my next months bag, and this was sooooo worth the $10. Keep up the good work :)

What I received in my Ipsy/My Glambag:

*Nailtini Nail Lacquer in the color Millionaire (full size item)

*theBalm Meet Matt(e) Eyeshadow in Matt Batali

*bareMinerals Marvelous Moxie Lipgloss in Dare Devil

*Starlet Cosmetics Intense Eyeliner in Black (full size item)

*benefit They're Real beyond Mascara

LOVED EVERYTHING!!!! Even the cute brown satin makeup bag, found really cute that the Ipsy logo was sewn inside :)

This is my yaaaaayyyyy my Birchbox is finally here face, lmfao!!! I am not going to lie the wait was agonizing, especially since a lot of my friends got theirs way before me.

I wasn't 100% impressed with my Birchbox as I was with my Ipsy bag. But there were a few items that got me a little excited. Was happy to see some full size items, for the first time. This is my 3rd Birchbox and no lie I have not received a full size item (excluding the hair tie). 

What I received in my Birchbox:

*Curly Hair Solutions Curl Keeper

*J.R. Watkins Hand and Cuticle Salve

*ModelCo SHINE Ultra Lip Gloss in Showgirl Red (full size item)

*Sumita Contrast Eye Pencil in Ziba aka Lime Green (full size item)

Lifestyle Extra:

*Chuao Chocolatier

As I have said plenty of times, I am not excited when I see a food item. This is the 2nd time that Birchbox has sent a food item in my box. I signed up to receive beauty products and last time I checked, food is not a beauty product. Thank you!!!!

I was happy with a majority of the products that I received, wished that the eyeliner wasn't a lime green, I mean who really uses that color?!?!? Maybe for halloween.

So the winner this month for best beauty subscription is......

Ipsy/My Glambag!!!!

Looking forward to seeing what is in store next month for both of these subscriptions. I was contemplating on cancelling Birchbox, but this box made me give it another chance. So we will see what happens next month...until then XOXOXOXO!!!! <3
