Which Ipsy Subscription Is Best

I’ve been subscribed to Birchbox for over two years now, as well as GLOSSYBOX and Julep for over a year, and originally subscribed to “MyGlam” for a few months, then cancelled due to all the crazy problems they were having… but I resubscribed with them-now Ipsy-several months back and have been mostly happy since. I’ve had my share of experiences with various beauty boxes for comparisons. In my opinion, they are all very different and offer different perks and have their faults. I’m usually disappointed with the types of products and size of samples that I receive in my monthly Birchbox; however, I really adore their point system and find that overall the perks of that make the bad months worth sticking around for. I was initially thrilled with GLOSSYBOX, but have been more disappointed as the months go on… and for $21/month, I’m very close to canceling. I do feel like the products in the Ipsy Glam Bags do tend to be lower quality and a little more cheap/geared toward younger girls; however, I almost always have one product each month that I love and some months are absolutely stellar. I honestly think that, aside from Julep where I hand pick my box each month; Birchbox, GLOSSYBOX, and Ipsy are all equally bad about sending out wrong shades, despite filling out a detailed beauty profile on their websites.

Overall, I feel like Birchbox is better geared to women who are interested and willing to really splurge on their beauty routines. A lot of women wouldn’t be thrilled with getting a foil sample of a $40 eye cream, for example, because they would never consider buying it in the first place. While Ipsy usually gives the casual beauty fan immediate satisfaction with larger samples and full size products that they can add to their small collection and continue to enjoy beyond one or a few uses.

All in all, I definitely wouldn’t stay subscribed to so many beauty boxes if it weren’t for my blog. If I had to choose, I’d probably ultimately stick with Birchbox… though, for me (since I usually prefer receiving makeup over skincare, etc.) Ipsy would be a close contender.
