Ipsy March 2013

The theme for Ipsy's March beauty bag was "The Great Escape". Truth be told, I wasn't completely thrilled over this month's bag and I am hoping next month will make up for it. I suppose there had to be a disappointment of a bag at some point considering they were on a roll for the past few months with decent to surprisingly awesome bags.

Birchbox January 2013

Because of the frequent monthly disappointment with my Birchbox subscription, I finally decided to cancel my subscription in December. I didn't realize I was already charged for January and February. So here is my January Birchbox.

Ipsy January 2013

This month's theme was "Super Stars" with the January 2013 beauty bag compiled with the "best finds that the beauty world has to offer."

Like last month's bag, I am again pleased with the the items included and I would actually look forward to trying them out sooner than most other items I've received (i.e. Birchbox which has been quite disappointing).

Birchbox December 2012

I was not impressed with my December 2012 Birchbox. Perhaps it may have been in part due to receiving my Ipsy bag first and being thoroughly pleased with Ipsy that this month's Birchbox couldn't stand a chance.

This may be my last Birchbox post since I have been debating for these past few months whether I want to continue on with the subscription. I've never been completely thrilled about my selection of products for some time now and I think I am ready to cancel my subscription.
