Birchbox December 2012

I know in my last post I said I nixed Birchbox, well, I did and this is my last month.

I will show you why...

Ipsy MyGlam Bag December 2012

For those that know me, it is common knowledge that I love my beauty subscriptions but having been subscribed to several, I definitely have my favorites and one of them is Ipsy's MyGlam Bag. In the Spring of 2012, with extensive research I subscribed to Beauty Army, Birchbox, and MyGlam Bag. I have since nixed Beauty Army and Birchbox for reasons I will probably explain later but for now, MyGlam Bag...

Birchbox August 2012

I'm sorry for the hiatus but my Summer has been a busy one! I hope everyone else's is a fun one as well!

I got my Birchbox yesterday and I was surprised at the weight of it because it was pretty heavy! Upon opening I realized that most of my goodies were toiletries. I mean, I love them and all, and being clean should be everyone's religion but I signed up for makeup. I would never spend money on those makeup swabs because honestly, how hard is it to dip your q-tips in some makeup remover and sticking them in a baggie for later use? Huh?

I tried scanning my little card to show the details of the products but it's acting kinda funny so here they are...

Birchbox - May 2012

This is my first ever Birchbox and I am more happy about it than my Beauty Army experience in respect to getting recognizable cosmetics instead of a whole load of foreign skincare products.

You can't go wrong with polish.

This scent is a little too baby powdery for my taste.

They weren't kidding about sample size, I don't even know why they put it in a tube. They should have just put it on a postcard with a sheet of foil to seal it because the amount in here is for a one time use. Wasteful...

What I didn't take a picture of was the stupid twistband. You know what? Let me take of picture of it to show you how stupid this is...

A 12 pack of those is worth $18. Seriously? Go to a fabric store and buy a spindle of satin pink garter. No sewing necessary. Just some scissors. Ladies, if you're smart, you won't buy this.

I'm happy for the most part but I don't know how much longer I can pay $10 a month with the risk of getting a stupid rubber band. I know, I have a real issue with the twistband, but I don't watch Gossip Girl, so the significance of the products aren't really striking a chord in my book.
