Massive 2015 Holiday Beauty Haul

Happy New Year everyone!! As you may know, the holidays are the absolute best time of year to buy makeup. Not only are there holiday gift sets galore, which are usually the best bang for your buck, but also companies are releasing new products and putting the old products on clearance. If you play your cards right, you can get so much makeup for very little investment. As I've taken advantage (quite a bit) of the deals this holiday season, I've gathered some of the standouts from my haul to share with you.

Birchbox v. Ipsy: April 2015

It's that time of month again: subscription box extravaganza! Two boxes once again enter the ring for a battle royale, only one box can step out a winner. Birchbox in one corner, ipsy in the other... who will win?

Birchbox: This month's Birchbox was a truly beautiful box, the pattern was so exquisite. Designed by Rifle Paper Co., it is a floral print box that I will be keeping for a long time!

Birchbox v. Ipsy: March 2015

A bit late for this post considering it's already April, but hey, life can get a bit nutty. Two subscription boxes enter the ring: Birchbox in one corner, ipsy in the other... Only one can leave the victor! Who will it be this month??

February 2015 Favorites

I'm a little late to the party this month, but there's still time to share what I was obsessed with in the month of February! February was a great month for beauty, but I've narrowed it down to my four favorites.

Birchbox v. Ipsy: February 2015

I've been a subscriber to Birchbox for over a year, and to ipsy for about four months, so why not start pitting them against each other in a battle royale! Two beauty subscriptions enter the ring this month, but only one can walk out a winner...

Birchbox: Is that a Beautyblender?? YES, yes it is. I couldn't believe my eyes when I opened February's box. I've always wanted to try a Beautyblender, but I really couldn't justify the $19.95 for a makeup sponge that will eventually need replacing. I currently use the Real Techniques dupe, which works wonderfully, but now I can compare the two and see if the high price tag is worth it for the Beautyblender. Plus Birchbox gave a sample of the solid cleanser to keep my sponge nice and clean!
