Product Subscription Review – Ipsy & Popsugar

Recently, while playing around online, I discovered a mysterious phenomenon called "monthly product subscriptions". Intrigued, I immediately did research on the different types of subscriptions because this concept speaks to me.  For a monthly fee, you get a product shipment once a month, but the contents (depending on the subscription service) are a complete surprise!  The first subscription that I was really interested in is called the “Popsugar Must Have Box”. 

Ummm hello??? I’m in!!! I did some light googling and found this lovely blog which helped seal my decision: Ramblings of a Suburban Mom She has a whole section dedicated to all the different types of subscriptions. I looked over her past reviews and decided to sign up for a 3 month subscription. As I continued reading, I found out there are also beauty product subscriptions. DING DING!

I’ve always loved beauty care products. When I was a kid my mom used to give me the perfume samples out of her magazines and to this day when Sephora pops a few samples into my shopping bag I feel like I won. I love samples, and lotions, and lip glosses, and SUPRISES! I did some more light googling and found a company that people seemed to like called Ipsy. I signed up for that one too!
