The theme for Ipsy Glam Bag is "Spring Fling".
The theme for Birchbox is "Beauty Diaries".
(Note: I really wish Ipsy that they would have sent in a card with all the information/pricing on it like Birchbox does). I've been trying out these products that Birchbox have sent me on May 10, 2013 over the past few weeks and here are my thoughts on what I've thought about some of the products that they have sent to me.
Birchbox -- Beauty Diaries
So, In this month's box I received 5 products and 2 of them I really didn't care for. They are: Coola Moisturizer (Mainly because it busted in my box) and Marvis Toothpaste (I have sensitive teeth).
Amika -- Obliphica Nourishing Mask: $12.00-$40.00
I give this product 4 out of 5 stars. Packed with omega acids and Vitamin C, this lush conditioning mask boosts shine and even helps repair split ends.
Coola -- Classic Face SPF 30 Cucumber Moisturizer for Face: $32.00
I get this product 2.3 out of 5 stars. This busted in my box. This mineral sunblock is infused with organic anti-aging ingredients like evening primrose extract and borage seed oil.
Marvis -- Clssic Mint Toothpaste: $6.00-$10.50
I give this product 2.3 out of 5 stars. I have sensitive teeth. A stylish Italian import with an invigorating peppermint flavor.
Sumita - Color Contrast Eyeliner: Set of 4 Mini Pencils $21.00
I give this product 4 out of 5 stars. Inspired by traditional Indian formulas, this velvety liner glides on easily and lasts for hours.
Lifestyle Extra
Runa -- Guayusa Tea: $7.00
I give this product 5 out of 5 stars. Need more products like this in my box!!! With more antioxidants than green tea, this caffeine-rich blend is made from Amazonian Guayusa leaves.
Ipsy Glam Bag -- Spring Fling
I did not care for this month's Ipsy Bag. I had one broken item and two items that weren't even my skin coloring.
Ipsy Bag
I give this product 3 out of 5 stars.
Yaby Concealer in Buff: $5.06
I give this product 2.3 out of 5 stars. The color of this was way too dark for me.
Zoya Nail Polish in Jacqueline: $8.00
I get this product 4 out of 5 stars. This color is okay, really wish they would stop sending me flesh tone, white and neutral colors. I want color.
Juice Beauty Reflecting Gloss in Champagne: $15.00
I give this product 5 out of 5 stars. I love this color so much!
St. Tropez Body Lotion: Travel Size: $5.50-$7.99 Full Size: $18.00
I give this product 2.3 out of 5 stars. This is way too dark for my pale complexion.
Nume Finishing Serum: $29.00
I give this product 2.3 out of 5 stars. This product was broken by the time it got to me. On their website, it comes in a plastic bottle but what Ipsy sent me was a glass bottle with a broken dropper.
Big Sexy Hair Powder Play Volumizing & Texturizing Powder: Travel Size: $5.39 Full Size: $15.95
I give this product 2.3 out of 5 stars. This was a free replacement of the Nume Finishing Serum. But Ipsy was suppose to have sent me was the Macadamia Healing Oil Treatment but instead I got the Big Sexy Hair Powder Play. Personally, I would have like to have gotten the Macadamia one and not the Big Sexy Hair product.
