February Ipsy vs Birchbox 2014

Not sure what BIRCHBOX was thinking this month!? Ipsy wins February by FAR! The Zoya nail polish is beautiful. I believe most of these products were in Michelle Phan latest Valentine's Day video too! A whole look in one bag. Love that.

What did you guys think?

Birchbox:
There is a really weird hair accessory that doesn't work if you have thick long hair.
NO full size products, all are tiny samples, not even deluxe. 
2 of them are funky mints that remind me of pop rocks!?
Bleh, Bleh, Bleh. No thanks BB!


 Ipsy:
While this isn't my favorite bag ever, I think it far outdid Birchbox. Everything is FULL SIZE except for the NuMe hair mask. The zoya nailpolish color is my favorite and is a gorgeous color. I love the Matte Blush too. It is a coral color that isn't really showing up in this pic. Michelle Phan did a video using the products from this ipsy bag (below).



If you want to try out either of these bags, they are only $10/month! I am going to hang on to Birchbox because sometims there are great things and usually different types of things than the ipsy bag. Ipsy is more makeup if you want that. Here are your subscription links :)
