So I'm a 'Beauty Noob/Newb'.
And at the age of 31 (going on 32 this month) well, it's time!
I never dabbled into cosmetics, skincare, etc.
Just some drugstore make-up items here and there...never started trying on lipstick til recently and until then Chapstick was my best friend. O, and yes...skincare. I'm definitely noticing the wrinkles, blemishes, and after 2 kids, bags under my eyes...!
But how do I begin??
But how do I begin??
I don't recall how I started researching and stumbled upon beauty box subscriptions but there ya go, that's my answer for now. Did you know there are beauty box subscriptions?
I'm probably the only one who didn't know..but what a genius idea!
There are numerous box subscriptions out there, not just for beauty but for food, lifestyle, apparel, babies, kids, etc.
So I subscribed♥
First, like I said there are tons of subscriptions out there but I decided to start out with the affordable ones. Upon my research, it seems that Ipsy and BirchBox are the two favorites out there.
Both are only $10/month (I think you get a deal when you do full year subscriptions).
And for a beginner like me, I figured these would be the best.
Ipsy focuses more on make-up & cosmetics. Deluxe sample sizes with occasional Full size products.
BirchBox is more broad--Skin care, hair care, body, fragrance, make-up and nails.
For both sites, you fill out a questionnaire/quiz. And based on your answers they will customize your beauty box every month. How exciting!!
I subscribed at the end of October so I'm currently waiting for my November boxes to arrive.
Tick-tock-tick-tock.....
In the meantime...ooh pretty flowers♫
