Move over, Birchbox!

You all know my love for BIRCHBOX. I love it. Well, I started seeing reviews on another beauty sample subscription, IPSY. The concept is the same-every month you pay $10 and Ipsy sends you a "Glamour Bag" full of beauty samples (and some full-size products!). I decided to give it a try. Well, I'm waiting for one more month and if my February glam bag is as good as my January one, I just may cancel Birchbox and keep Ipsy! It's that good! The first thing that I LOVE about IPSY is that they send you an actual bag that can be used over and over again. Is it the best quality ever? No, but it can be reused as a make-up bag, or something to stash stuff in your purse, whatever. It's much more useful to me than the cardboard box that Birchbox uses. Here is my January Glam Bag:

Oh, and did I mention the pretty pink packaging it came in?!

The card had a great quote on one side: "A true star will always shine", and on the back there are discounts for all featured brands if you purchase on the ipsy website. This month's "Super Stars" were:

A SOHO Crease Brush. A full-sized crease brush! Love this!

2.5 oz Pacifica Tuscan Blood Orange Body Butter This is the perfect size to keep in my purse, or at my desk at work. Pacifica is a great brand and this scent is fabulous!

Josie Maran 100% Pure Argan Oil  This was a decent sized-bottle with a dropper. The oil is fantastic and doesn't smell "fake" like some other brands I have tried. My husband especially loved this one!

Full-sized bottle of Nailtini Straight Up Nail Laquer in "Bloody Mary". This is a perfect shade to try for Valentine's Day!

Sexy Hair Spray & Play Volumizing Spray This is a perfect travel size of hairspray!

I have a make-up bag, 2 full-sized products and 2 great travel-sized products all for $10 in this month's Ipsy Glam Bag. Worth it! I can't wait to see my February bag!
