The samples themselves are free, however you do need to cover the $5 shipping fee. Unlike the Target boxes, you are able to subscribe to the Walmart service rather than order separately each time a box is released. I did receive the fall box, and while I didn't blog about it I did open itChristinahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01059503963875316747noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8874640994904771243.post-2810331690348557172014-12-23T12:32:00.001-08:002014-12-23T12:32:48.928-08:00Ipsy - December 2014My Ipsy bag arrived this week, and December's Theme is Thinking of You. Unlike the recent cards with the Ipsy stylists on the front this months card had several variations of messages on them, mine was "Creative Genius".

Unfortunately the box is sold out, but I figured it was a worth a post in case they offer a similar deal in the future.

For Cyber Monday Target offered 3 different boxes for purchase, their normal $10 beauty box, a $5 naturals box, and a $5 mens box.

This month's Ipsy theme was Beauty Candy.
The first item in my bag was a Noyah Lipstick sample in the shade Deeply in Mauve.

It's also been really overcast and rainy here so I've started using an inexpensive light box for my photos versus natural light; I'm hoping as I get more used to this method my photos improve some.

This months theme was Street Style and I also opened it up on my Makeup Miscellaneous YouTube page, as well as giving a quick review of what I thought of the products from August.
The first product from my September bag was the Crown Brush Infinity Shadow/Crease Duet Brush.

Each box contains 5 deluxe sized samples, or sometimes full sized products. It also comes with an Allure "mini magazine" that describes all the products.

I decided to start with a nude polish as a nice in between shade. I've always been a bit wary of nude polish shades because I'm fair skinned, but after seeing more of them crop up this year I decided to try one out.

Memebox is a Korean Beauty Box, but unlike other beauty subscriptions like Ipsy or Beauty Box 5 you don't subscribe to a monthly box. Instead you can browse through the boxes on their website (which are of varying sizes and prices) and choose which one(s) you want. They have various categories Christinahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01059503963875316747noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8874640994904771243.post-2349362676269376322014-08-25T20:34:00.002-07:002014-08-25T20:34:37.100-07:00Essie - Naughty NauticalEssie's Naughty Nautical is from their summer 2013 collection. I picked it up this summer, after going to Rite Aid with the intention of purchasing Ruffles and Feathers from the 2014 summer collection and deciding I liked Naughty Nautical better.

I'm not going to lie, this month was kind of a disappointment for me . However, I still decided to keep Ipsy over Beauty Box 5 because if I average out previous months I have enjoyed Ipsy more. Here's hoping next month is better though or Ipsy might be on the chopping block.

As I mentioned in my Allure Sample Society post, I decided that instead of upgrading to a quarterly subscription of Beauty Box 5 I would try out Sample Society in August along with my BB5 and Ipsy subscriptions and then choose one of them to cancel for September. I really enjoyed my Allure Sample Society box, so while this wasn't necessarily a bad month with Beauty Box 5 I do think I'm Christinahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01059503963875316747noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8874640994904771243.post-12177507581593365912014-08-18T08:55:00.001-07:002014-08-19T13:59:09.056-07:00Allure Sample Society - August 2014In July's Beauty Box 5 post I had mentioned that I was going to upgrade my subscription to a quarterly subscription and commit to at least 3 more months. However, before I did so I kept hearing more on Makeup Talk about the Allure Sample Society Box subscription and how it was improving.
