Hello!! So I really want a subscription set/box/bag (whatever you wanna call them doohickeys). But I don't know what one to get! I have gotten the birch box for 2 months now and didn't like about half of the samples they sent me in each box. I signed up for the Ipsy bag but it took over a month and I was still on the waitlist. So I don't know which one is actually worth it. What do you think? Which one do you prefer?

I'm on month 3 of the ipsy wait list and counting :/ It's rather annoying that you have to use social media to get off the wait list because I don't really use Facebook or anything. I like my birch box but I wish it had more cosmetics.

Ipsy is by far the best. You can get off the wait list you just have to do a little promoting for them and like all of their pages. It's completely worth it. But if your willing to pay more money ($21) boxycharm is a really good subscription box with full size products. This month I got a coastal scents revealed palette that I'm just in love with.

I agree with Savannah about Ipsy, I prefer makeup and whatnot over lotions and stuff. I deactivated my Facebook a long time ago but luckily I remembered my password and stuff then deactivated it after.

I have both subscriptions and I go back and forth with which one I like best. I have been getting lots of perfume and lotion samples from Ipsy and have been really disappointed for the last couple months. I almost never get lotions and stuff like that in my birchbox. It all comes down to how you fill out your survey when you sign up I guess. Generally I think the brands that Birchbox sends me are more high end than what I receive from Ipsy most months. I personally prefer BB over Ipsy anyday (I know I'm a weirdo lol)

I want to sign up for Birchbox. That way I can compare the two myself rather than base my opinions off of YouTube lol.

Yeah, I wish I got all the awesome stuff I see others have received, maybe I should redo my quiz/survey... lol.

Lol I've already redone my ipsy quiz and they're still sending me stuff I don't want but I guess they have to sometimes? I don't know
