I for one, love love love beauty subscription boxes. It is the perfect way to try new products and brands, without having to spend a ton of money.
However there can be so many options it is hard to know which beauty subscription box is the best one to get, so I thought I would start a "battle or the subscription boxes" on my blog to help you if you're in the market for a beauty subscription.
So for this battle of the subscription boxes, I am going to be talking about
So... for those of you who have never heard of either of these before, let me give you a little background on the prices, products and all that good stuff, before I show you the contents of the subscription boxes.
Boxycharm is a beauty subscription box, where you receive 4-5 full size and luxury size beauty products, at 21 dollars each month (If you do the monthly subscription). The box is not personalized, meaning everyone receives the same products but usually they are catered to all skin types and each month there is a different theme for the box. Boxycharms works with brands such as tarte, ofra, bellapierre, coastal scents etc.
Ipsy is a beauty subscription bag, where you receive 5 sample size, and sometimes full sized beauty products along with a make up bag, at 10 dollars a month. The bag is personalized, so you fill out a questionnaire when you sign up selecting your skin color, products you would be interested in receiving, skin type etc. Ipsy works with brands such as too faced, ofra, smashbox, nyx, benefit etc.
I am just going to be talking about the products, and over all value etc, but if you would like to see a review of the products, what I liked, disliked, then be sure to comment down below or email me and I can do that!
So let's get into the contents of both of the bags...

So let's get into the contents of both of the bags...
Boyxcharm: The theme for this months box is Rush to Relax and there were 6 products.

Ofra Banana Powder - Full Size - $12.00

"A 2-in-1 blush and highlighter"
Shray Ms. Amazing Facial Mask - Full Size - $12.00

"Soft, creamy eye-enhancing pencil with Vitamin E for smooth application that won't drag.
Luxie Beauty Flat Definer Brush 221 - Full Size - $12
"Cruelty and paraben-free, Vegan and Coated with Antibacterial Solution"
Chella Lipstick Pencil in Passionate Pink - Same Size - Roughly $9
"Cruelty and paraben-free, Vegan and Coated with Antibacterial Solution"
Chella Lipstick Pencil in Passionate Pink - Same Size - Roughly $9
Smashbox Cosmetics Photo Finish Primer Oil - Sample Size - Roughly $6
"Blend of 15 essential and lipid-rich plant oils instantly moisturize your face for seamless foundation application with a dewy, youthful finish"
Promise Organic Ultra Moisturizing Argan Creme Facial Lotion - Sample Size - Roughly $4.50
Overall Value - Around $40
Overall I would probably pay the extra $11 and opt for Boxycharm purely because the overall value is nearly $100 more, and you receive full sized products over sample sized ones. What I also love about Boxycahrm is that with their boxes comes a card detailing the price, and a description about the products which is extremely helpful, and often a discount code is included for disco. However what is nice about Ipsy is that the products are tailored towards you, and it comes with a cute little make up bag which can come in handy for traveling. Both subscription services come with coupon codes for discounts off those products in the future too which is pretty great if you like the product and want to repurchase.
If you made it all the way to the end you rock!! If you have tried either of these subscription boxes, let me know what you think of them! Also I can do a review next time, or if you would like me to include a different box next time, or liked this post, let me know! Thanks for taking the time out to read today's blog, I really really appreciate it. Because I am still new to the whole blog thing, please bear with the quality of things and hopefully with time I will improve and create better quality content.

I love looking at subscription boxes and seeing people's thoughts! I've only just signed up to one in the UK called LookIncredible because we can't get either of your ones over here though the products look so amazing, especially the buffer, how cute is that! xx

I know I love reading and watching videos, so thought I would do one myself! I must try it out, my family lives in Northern Ireland so when I go home for the summer I may have to try that one out ;) xxx
