Hello Beauties and welcome to my first ever #BoxWars!!! Today’s we have three challengers!
Birchbox vs Beauty Box 5 (BB5) vs Ipsy
Let’s get started! Up first we have shampoo and conditioner samples. Organix from BB5 and Davines from Birchbox.
Organix:
*Negative= small single use sample
*Positive= Great scent, scent lingered in your hair throughout the day
Davines:
*Negative= the scent wasn’t for me, the scent didn’t linger in your hair (kinda glad though), conditioner sample was only enough for 2 uses.
*Positive= Shampoo was deluxe size
*Winner*
Beauty Box 5
Next up is Ipsy with Bombshell mascara vs BB5 with Glam Natural mascara
Bombshell:
*Negative= smells really bad, has a dry formula, couldn’t tell a difference once applyed
*Positive= full sized product
Glam Natural:
*Negative= very small wand
*Positive= nice wet texture, worked once 2 coats applyed, deluxe sized sample
*Winner*
Beauty Box 5
Next up we have cleansers
Eslor from BB5 vs Vasanti from Birchbox vs Skinn from Ipsy.
Eslor: To be honest I didn’t try this. It came with tiny packets. I am very picky about what cleansers I put on my face especially if I am only going to be able to try it once.
Vasanti:
*Negative= very corse, felt too harsh on my skin
*Positive= nice fresh scent, Deluxe size sample
Skinn:
*Negative= None
*Positive= smells like frosting, very smooth, no irritation
*Winner*
Ipsy
Up next two lip products
Laqa & co from Birchbox vs NYX Butter Gloss from Ipsy.
To be honest I fell head over heels with both products. Color payoff was amazing with both products. Laqa was a deluxe sized sample and NYX was full size! I have no complaints about either product. So a point goes to each!
So far that is 2 points for Ipsy, 2 points for BB5, and 1 point for Birchbox. The next part is the lightning round. Where I’ll name each product that is left from each box and say briefly if I loved it or could live without it. Each product I loved will recieve a additional point!
~=~Lightning Round~=~
Beauty Box 5=
Nikka K nailpolish (full size): Love! Who doesn’t love nailpolish?!
Vitabath body wash (deluxe size): Love! Pink frosting scent is so yummy!
BB5 Total= 4
Birchbox=
Supergoop! (mini sample): Could live without. Too watery
Joie Perfume (small vile): Love! Manderin, rose and sandalwood smell so lovely together.
Birchbox Total= 2
Ipsy=
Dove Dry Oil (Deluxe sample): Love! Left my hair feeling so soft!
Jesse’s Girl eyeliner (full size): Love! Has been my go to liner since I received it!
Ipsy Total=4
Beauties it looks like we have a tie between Beauty Box 5 and Ipsy!!! For the tie breaker lets go back and count the full size products we received in both boxes. In BB5 we recieved one full sized and 2 deluxe size samples. In Ipsy we recieved two full sized (that we loved) and 2 deluxe sized! So the winner is… Ipsy!!!!
