make up subscription -- ipsy, birchbox - anyone still get these?
My daughter is really in to make up, fashion and experimenting. She expressed interest in ipsy. Years ago when it first came out I subscribed to it and it was pretty cool. I just didn't use the stuff enough to warrant it. But that was a LONG time ago! I have no clue of the quality of the stuff anymore and whether it's worth it. There are probably tons of other options too.
Does anyone here have any recent experience with any make up, skincare, etc. subscription service?

Re: make up subscription -- ipsy, birchbox - anyone still get these?
There are several you tube channels that review ipsy and several other make up subscriptions. I'd look into those to see what the quality is.
I've heard extremely mixed reviews about ipsy. Sent from my Moto Z (2) using Tapatalk

I got Ipsy for my daughter and daughter in law for Christmas last year. I think the products have been fine and it’s a nice way to try out new things without spending a lot. Shipping is not fast. You get to choose one of your products each month. I’ve only had one issue and customer service handled it without a problem but others haven’t been so lucky. It’s been worth it for us though.

Sephora has stopped their monthly box but is putting out small kits frequently where you can see what's inside and buy as a one-off. Allure tends to have a nice mix of products but I think they just raised their prices. |

Re: make up subscription -- ipsy, birchbox - anyone still get these?
I did Ipsy for a few years, but switched to BoxyCharm over the summer. I like it better than Ipsy. I have used most of the stuff I get in there, and the stuff I don't, I can regift to others, or sell it on ebay, or something. I've really enjoyed it so much more! I've gotten some really great skincare products, and some awesome eye shadow palettes. Not everyone likes the eyeshadow palettes, because they usually have some wild colors, but I like that sort of thing and will wear just about any color. Many times, I receive higher end makeup and skincare through this box, that I otherwise wouldn't buy because it's expensive.
