This is the seventh post in the Birchbox vs Ipsy series!
FYI – I pay for both of these subscriptions, and as a regular customer I get one of many variations available each month. So while one month alone might not be enough info to make a decision, looking at the results over several months should give you a good picture of what to expect with each box.

Verdict: I think Birchbox is the winner for me this month since the value was so high, and I was able to review the products on their site and get $5 to use in their shop. And the Naobay lotion was a great discover for me. (Plus I always want more Suki cleanser!) The Ipsy bag probably is at a disadvantage for me just because I would have preferred a new product over another Purlisse SPF! I am using my bareMinerals cream eyeshadow everyday though!
Which was your favorite box this month? Any new product discoveries you love?
