Ipsy vs Birchbox-May

What I got in my Ipsy bag: "Spring Fling"

Zoya Nail Polish (0.5oz) It's a full size product which is always really nice.  I received the color Neely which is a minty green color. Since I already have a mint green polish I traded with my friend Danielle who got the color Jacqueline which is a creamy white color.  She wasn't super happy with that color and it was one of the ones I had really wanted the so trade worked out better for both of us.

Pacifica Tahitian Gardenia Roll-On Perfume (.33oz) Another full size product, I really wish I liked the smell of this. I've been wanting a roll-on perfume to keep in my purse. Unfortunately I really do not like floral scents, especially gardenia.

NuMe Finishing Serum (10 ml) You can put this in damp or dry hair and it helps smooth your hair and make it soft and shiny. This is really similar to a product I already use called BioSilk.  I really like this one, it doesn't make my hair feel greasy and I like the way it smells.

Yaby Concealer Refill in Vanilla I was so excited for concealer since I am always trying to find new ones. I have tan/olive skin tone and I got vanilla which is almost white, so obviously this is will not work.  Since I can't use it as concealer I have been using it as an eyeshadow base and it works great for that. So it's not a total loss. I really wish I had received the right color though because I would have loved to try this as a concealer.

Juice Beauty lip gloss in fig (.14 oz) Another full size product! I love the way this lip gloss smells, it is amazing.  I have used it once and it's not sticky and the color is really sheer which I liked.  I think this will be a great color to wear when I just want a little color on my lips.

This months bag is a super cute orange, white, and green chevron print. It's one of my favorite bags so far.


What I got in my Birchbox: "The Beauty Diaries"

Beauty Protector Protect and Detangle Leave in Conditioner  Its a spray conditioner, detangler, and heat protectant.  I love that it is one product that does multiple things it makes it so much easier to use them.  This stuff smells really good, I think it smells like sugar or cotton candy but it's not super strong.

Coola Classic Face SPF 30 Cucumber Moisturizer for Face (.23 oz) It really does smell like cucumber. I have oily skin and have yet to find a sunscreen that doesn't feel too greasy on my face. This one isn't too bad, I couldn't use it daily but if I were going to be outside by the pool or something I could use this.

Sumita Color Contrast Eyeliner I'm not really sure how the color contrast part is supposed to work. I got a gorgeous navy blue color which I love. The pencil goes on very smooth and has great staying power.

Folle de Joie eau de parfume I am not a fan of receiving perfume samples because I am really picky and a lot of scents give me headaches. I don't hate this one though. I don't think I would ever purchase the full size of this but I might use up the sample. It reminds me of another perfume but I can't figure out which one.

Pilot Acroball PureWhite Pen You can never have too many pens and mine writes in pink which is one of my favorite colors. This one writes really nicely.
