Why You Should Get a Beauty Box.
Subscription Box Ramblings

About 3 years ago, I was sitting at work talking to a friend and she pulls out this hot pink metallic package. Of course with my love for anything pink, I was immediately intrigued and needed to know what was inside. That was the moment my life changed forever.

She introduced me to Ipsy.

And it has definitely been a life changer!

Ipsy is a subscription makeup bag and you pay $10 a month. No tax. Free shipping. And you get 5 makeup items every month. This could range from blush, eyeshadows, highlighters, or even to nail polish. You even get to take a quiz to somewhat customize your bags. Sometimes you get sample sizes, but more often than not, you get a full size product.

I have have always been obsessed with makeup and sometimes it get get pricey. But ever since I have subscribed to Ipsy, it has literally saved me so much money. Since I have signed up, the only thing I really ever have to buy is foundation or powder. I literally get everything that I need throughout the year. I even get moisturizers, face masks and eye creams. This is only $120 a year. If I was to buy everything out right, then I would be spending a lot more money.

The great part is that you can cancel or sign back up at any time. There has been moments where I have felt like my makeup collection is just getting too big, so I temporarily cancel it for a few months until I have used some product but then always sign back up. Even with me doing that, I still haven’t had to buy anything else besides foundation.

There are tons of beauty boxes out there. I have also signed up for others in the past such as Beauty Box 5, Lip Monthly, Boxy Charm, Wantable and Birch Box. I have recently signed up for Sephora Play, as well. So far, Ipsy, Lip Monthly and Sephora Play have been my favorites. I may keep them both or I may rotate them out, who knows.

But my point is that if you have a love for makeup like I do, and you are subscribed to a beauty box of some sort, then you are totally missing out!

Sign up for a beauty box or two. Play around with them and see which ones you like. Go ahead, save yourself some money.

We Need More Than Memorials this Memorial Day

When I was a child, I used to look forward to Memorial Day Weekend from the time I returned to school after Christmas vacation.

I remember how exciting summer was when I was a kid. I would just be eagerly waiting for school to end so that I could fly to some exotic location with my family for the summer. Or hang out with my friends every day. Or just lay around in bed or read, paint, draw, basically do whatever.
