Good morning everyone! Sorry for the delay in posting this, May has been a busy month! Between Mothers Day, my moms birthday and a cousins wedding, I've been running around like crazy! I've had both ipsy and Birchbox sitting next to my vanity for weeks just dying to be photographed so I could put them away and I finally got around to it! So, let's get into it! I received Birchbox first, so we will do that first!
This months box was curated by the founder of Cupcakes and Cashmere and is SO cute, and for whatever reason, the box design seems oddly May appropriate!
The Dr. Jart BB cream was slightly too dark for my current skin tone, in a month or two, I think it will be perfect. I've been mixing it with my moisturizer for an extra layer of coverage and I'm really happy with it so far.
The Yu Be Moisturizing Skin Cream was my one disappointment in the May Birchbox. I honestly can't even tell you about the quality of the product because I absolutely hate the smell. It is incredibly overwhelming and unpleasant.
The Marcelle Clay Mask was just an okay item. I love anything skin care related and I'm certainly not unhappy with it, it just didn't seem incredible. I'll definitely use it up though!
I was excited to receive this eyeshadow quad from Coastal Scents. I got the full Revealed 2 palette in my BoxyCharm last month and have been using it like crazy, so this was a definite win for me.
The last item is the No. 4 Super Comb Prep & Protect. I'm obsessed with anything heat protecting for my hair, so this is a win! Plus, it smells great!
Ipsy came just a few days later!
The bag this month is SO cute! And it feels like its a nice quality and sturdy bag. The theme this month was Jetsetter.
The Organic Farm hair oil was probably the item I was the most excited for because I love hair products. It has an okay smell, not great, but not amazing. I do notice that I have to be careful not to apply it too close to my scalp or it makes me oily. I guess it is hair oil. Duh.
The Nuxe face cleanser is the one product I haven't tried. It's a really nice size and it smells great though.
I love getting well known high end brands in subscription boxes so getting this Urban Decay lip primer pencil plus two bonus glosses was exciting. Its a pretty good size for a sample too.
I'm just learning how to do my brows and going through a painful growing out process on them, so I was happy to get the Chella brow pencil. I've been using the Anastasia Brow Wiz, but I'm excited to give this a try!
The last item was a Jesse's Girl loose eyeshadow. The color is pretty, I'm just not a huge fan of loose products because I tend to make a huge mess. I'll give it a try on a day when I'm feeling brave and don't have anywhere to be!
So, that's all for ipsy and Birchbox. I'll have my BoxyCharm vs Glossybox coming when I receive my Glossybox (it just shipped today) and I'll have a review coming on the Mother's Day Glossbox I ordered separately.
