Wantable October 2014 Review
SIGH. I had really high hopes for you, October. My heart sank the moment I opened my October Wantable box. With the exception of one product, they were all repeat brands. Continue Reading

Ipsy October 2014 Review
Am I the only one who has had Bow Wow Wow stuck in their head all week? I swear, every time I look at this bag…
This month’s theme is Beauty Candy (for Halloween, duh), and even the little bag is a shiny teal with puffy squares resembling candy. Continue Reading
Wantable September 2014 Review
After tweaking my Wantable profile a bit last month, I couldn’t wait to get my September box. I am over summer and so ready to start wearing bold fall colors. Each month, Wantable subscribers will receive 4-5 full-size premium makeup products for $36.00. It’s a pretty good deal if you end up with things that you actually want or need. This month, however, was a complete bomb. Continue Reading
Birchbox September 2014 Review
Birchbox is celebrating the arrival of fall and their 4 year anniversary this month by sending out adorable boxes with geometric patterns printed on them. It’s a good thing too, because I needed another reason to start hoarding Birchbox boxes in my closet again. Continue Reading
Ipsy September 2014 Review
When I was a kid, my friend and I decided one day that we wanted to dress up as “streetwalkers”. If I remember correctly, we were inspired by some movie based in a big city where all the women were fashionable and edgy and wore lots of makeup. When I asked my mom if she had any makeup we could borrow and explained why we needed it, she was clearly horrified. That was the day I learned about prostitution. Continue Reading
Glossybox August 2014 Review
Oh, hey there August Glossybox. I see you’re really trying to make amends by showing up on my doorstep nearly 2 weeks into September. That’s cool. Continue Reading
Wantable August 2014 Review
After canceling my Glossybox subscription, I decided to replace it with a Wantable subscription. I’ve had my eye on this one for a while, but I’ve read very mixed reviews, so I was unsure about it. Given that the monthly cost is $36, my expectations are significantly higher. Continue Reading
Birchbox August 2014 Review
Everygirl teamed up with Birchbox this August to create a box of affordable beauty products. I had the option of choosing this box or just one product out of a handful of options and letting Birchbox handle the rest of the box as usual. Continue Reading
Ipsy August 2014 Review
That was a fast month. My August Ipsy bag got here before I even had time to stalk the spoiler pages on the internet to see what was going to be available this month. Ipsy thought this would be an appropriate month to make the bag beauty school-themed, since it’s that time of the year again. Continue Reading
Glossybox July 2014 Review
Well, it finally happened. Glossybox and I have officially broken up. I will be receiving one more box after this, and then I’m done. I subscribed to Glossybox because I was under the impression that I would be getting makeup products tailored to my tastes, but over the past six months, my boxes have mostly been one disappointment after another.
