With a wedding coming up and second puberty hitting my face like a ton of bricks I’ve realized that I need to start actually doing some skincare. I’ve also been working to find new looks . So where better to start than these Beauty Boxes that are all the rage? Some have been great! Others… not to much! (And Im giving second chances). But this one is the only one currently I am confident about! Without further ado and some Christmas Money let’s dive in!
I’m going to be reviewing on the quality of products, the value for the price, usability, and how helpful their customer service is since subscriptions can be tricky!
IPSY – $12 and Free Shipping
When you sign up for ISPY they have you a quiz that’s rather in depth and get all sorts of things from what you like and use, to what your skin tone and features are. They even ask what high end brands that you like or want to try.
Product Quality – The products are GREAT! I got gutsy and marked myself down for some FANCY brands and boy did IPSY deliver. That silver tube in the bag? The full product is around ninety dollars for a full bottle. In the other bags I’ve gotten from buying a few lots on ebay at more than half off (so they aren’t customized for me but the original products) I’ve noticed a trend of both luxury brands and more accessible ones.
🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Usability – It seems that the pattern is that I can use or have use for about four out of the five products sent. However Im surprised by this because IPSY has you take a quiz about your skin type. I would have thought this would be a banger straight through. Im not upset though, it’s still a good deal!
🌟🌟🌟🌟
Value For Price – WONDERFUL! The size of these products for the most part usable sizes. At LEAST a travel size sample. In other brands I’ve gotten actual freebee size samples that barely are good for one or two tries which doesn’t leave you with time to make a decision. HOWEVER about one and SOMETIMES two are the bitty size which is a bummer. Plus the bags are super cute!
🌟🌟🌟🌟
Customer Service – So far from the other three I’ve tried, these guys ALSO win in this category. Not only do they get points for ACTUALLY responding to questions/concerns, they were super kind and on top of it. It took only a couple days to hear back and once my ticket was picked up I was hearing back easily within a day. I did have an issue where two of my bags straight from them had an opened product (They were past bags and I think some returns fell in). They tried to make it right by refunding me $5 for both of them, but it wasn’t $5 each. They also didn’t seem to pay attention to the photos that I sent which extended the back and forth for a couple days by asking me which products were opened when they were right in the photo.
🌟🌟🌟🌟
Finishing Thoughts – So far Ipsy has been the hands down winner. Im giving some of the others a chance to redeem themselves, but none of them can hold a candle to ISPY at this time. I will likely keep this subscription after my reviews are done.
