    I have Ipsy and there were a lot of samples I could not use. Plus I detest foil samples. They are a pain to have to lay around and they are messy,
    I checked out Birchbox and there were a lot of hair samples which I don’t need.

    The quiz gave me Birchbox.

    Had it; got lots of stuff I couldn’t use.

    Why isn’t Allure part of the quiz? I’ve canceled the rest and kept Allure.

      Price point.

      This quiz is for $10 bags. Allure is $15.

        Which actually makes the quiz kind of pointless because it limits us to only 3 boxes. For the extra $5, Allure is the way to go, in my opinion. I do also get Birchbox and Ipsy.
