June Subscription Services: Ipsy, Birchbox, and BoxyCharm

June 2015 Subscription Box Review: Ipsy, Birchbox, & BoxyCharm

Forgive me but... I've got to be honest. This month was a busy month. And I didn't give all the products in these boxes a chance to test out. And I'm not going to. None of my subscription boxes "wow'ed" me this month. And I'm just going to leave it at that. So this is mainly just a quick recap of what I received and if I will be using it or giving it away.
Ipsy:
$10/month for sample, deluxe, and full size (sometimes) products. Try it out here!

June 2015 Ipsy

Items received:

• BioRepublic Sheet Masks in Green Tea Detox, Aloe Rescue, and Cucumber Breeze. (Set of 3- $14.95) I usually am not a fan of sheet masks, but I like the way these are cut and cling to your face. I've used the Green Tea Detox mask so far, and I enjoyed it... Which surprised me.
• J.Cats Liptitude 24/7 Hydrating Lip Stain in LLS115. (Full Size- $5.99) No. Just no. Nothing about this product appeals to me. Passing on.
• Smashbox Photo Finish Foundation Primer. (Deluxe Sample Size- $9 value) Again, not a product I am keeping. I've tried this primer before. It's not my favorite of the silicone based primers I have tried and I have so many others to try out that I'd rather pass this along also...
• Trèstique Mini Shadow Crayon in Kona Coffee. (Minis are sold in sets of 3 for $32. $10.66 Value) This was Okayyyy. I prefer my Laura Mercier Caviar Sticks which blend much easier. Again, passing this along...
• NYC Liquid Eyeliner in Black. (Full Size- $2.99) What the F...?!?!  Why the F...?!?! No, Ipsy, just NO. This pissed me off. I like Ipsy because I like trying new and different things. I do not want to receive NYC eyeliner that I can buy at any drugstore or superstore. Grrrrrrr...

Ipsy Total Value: $43.59
Birchbox:
$10/month for sample and deluxe size products. Try it out here!

June 2015 Birchbox

Items received:

• Dr.Jart+ Dermaclear Micro Water. (Deluxe Sample Size- $2.56 value) Can't wait to try this.
• Klorane Shampoo with Mango Butter (Deluxe Sample Size- $1.25 value) and Conditioning balm with Mango Butter (Foil Packet- $1.10 value). Meh. Not interested. Passing along...
• Supergoop! Everyday SPF 50 with Cellular Response Technology. (Deluxe Sample Size- $0.91 value) Boooooringggggg. <Yells> Next!!!!!!!!
• Marcelle Waterproof Eyeliner in Indigo. (Deluxe Sample Size- $7.70 value) This I'll keep around. You never know when you may need a blue eyeliner...
• Coastal Scents Revealed 3 Palette Sampler in Desert Bloom. (Deluxe Sample Size- $1.60 value) This is cute to travel with... But I wasn't that excited for it, if I'm being honest. Passing it on...
• Pure Vida Lace Headband. (8pk is $18- $2.25 Value) It's cute... But I dislike these types of headbands immensely. They don't stay in place on my head. Fail.

Birchbox Total Value: $17.37
BoxyCharm:
$21/month for 4-5 full size and/or 1 deluxe size product (usually $100+ value).

June 2015 BoxyCharm

Items received:

• Eslor Chlorophyll Lifting Mask. (Full Size- $38) Meh. I'll give it a try...
• Bellapierre Cosmetics Kabuki Brush. (Full Size- $29.99) I would never pay $30 for this brush. It reminds me of my $6 E.L.F. Cosmetics kabuki. But I'll keep it and use it.
• ncLA Nail Laquer in Volume IV. (Full Size- $16) LOVE!!! Of everything I received in all my boxes, this made me happiest. I love the shade. And I love the formula. 
• The Beauty Crop Lighting Crew Highlighting Cream. (Full Size- $18 according to their website) This is a beautiful highlighter... But when you apply it to the face, it does NOT blend easily. Pass.
• Doucce Click Click Lipstick in 819 Sexy Copper. (Full Size- $24) The packaging on this is amazing. I love the way it clicks open. The shade is horrendous on me. It's so bad, there are no words... Passing it along.

BoxyCharm Total Value: $125.99
Overall... It was a pretty "Blahhh" month in subscription boxes for me. I also received my Walmart Beauty Box. But that was so bad I didn't even have the energy to photograph it. Hopefully next month is better...
