If you read the most recent High Five for Friday post, then you know that I very recently broke up with Birchbox. While I loved the service, I was just ready for something new, and didn’t want to pay for 2 subscription services. With Birchbox, I felt like I was getting a lot of hair products and facial stuff, but not a lot of makeup. Makeup is probably my favorite category of the 3, so I wanted something that would give my more makeup samples from brands I wanted to try. Enter Ipsy.
All these subscription services are so tempting! I will say that getting cute little bags along with the Ipsy items is a huge draw. Love little bags like that.

Katie, I have always loved little bags. I can always find a use for them, especially when they're this cute! I too think that subscription services are temping, but they quickly add, which is why I said goodbye to Birchbox. It was hard, though.
What a great glam bag! Love the products! 😉
God bless,
XO, Claire

I switched from Birchbox to Ipsy a few months ago and like Ipsy much better. My glam bag was a little different but I also got the mascara and pore refiner. Love both of those products!

I did BirchBox for a while then quit too. Maybe I will check out Ipsy!
I LOVE ipsy so much more than I did Birchbox. I'm really happy I made the switch.
I was really excited for the products! I love new makeup finds!
I loved those products too! Although, in all honesty, I'm just as happy with my drugstore mascara from L'Oreal as with this one. I'm already loving Ipsy better, but I will miss the way the Birchbox points worked–I just got $78 worth of products for $14.40 shipped!
You should! It's definitely worth a shot!
Me too! Now, ask me in a couple of months just to make sure, but I'm really enjoying the switch-up. I think I was just burnt out on Birchbox:(
I have so many good things about that Dr. Brant no more pores. I have actually been thinking about getting Ipsy or even the Allure box- I'm not sure if I'm digging Birchbox anymore (i think the points are the only things that keep me around).
The points were what made it hard for me to leave! So I accumulated $40 worth and cashed out.
I feel like I would use the makeup more than I would the hair products, mostly just because my hair is really finicky about what works and with my limited time as a mama I don't want to have to redo my hair. Easier to wash your face! haha
Isn't that the truth?!lol I only wash my hair every 3-4 days, and I hate when I try a product that makes my hair need washing on Day 2:(
Just subscribed! 🙂 I have never used a subscription service before, but I'm excited to try new stuff. I have a bad habit of wasting full-size products that I end up not liking, so $10 to try smaller versions sounds like a great idea to me.
Claire, that was my thought process as well! I really, really like Ipsy and I think you will too! Be sure to let me know what you think!!!!
