The Birchbox vs Ipsy post series compares my Birchbox and Ipsy subscription every month to give you a good idea what you can expect from the two most popular beauty subscription boxes. (And since both boxes are $10 a month, it seems fair to stack them up against each other).
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: My favorite box this month was Birchbox. The Ouidad, Gorge, and Beauty Crop products have worked their way into my daily beauty routine, and the value for the box was great too. (Birchbox doesn't normally beat Ipsy in terms of value, so it is kind of a big deal! 🙂 )
