Birchbox Vs Glossybox ...

I first discovered beauty subscription boxes when I subscribed to Kathleen Lights on youtube. She gets Ispy Bay and Boxy Charm. The idea is brilliant, such a great way to test out products that you may (or may not) love without wasting money! I started with Birchbox (check out my unboxing videos here) and I loved it! ... However. They seemed to be sending less make up and more lotions and potions, which I am not overly happy about. So I have recently subscribed to Glossybox to see how they compare.

First up ... Birchbox.

This month Birchbox have gone for something new. Out with the old box, and in with a new bag! There where 4 different colours, yellow, blue, pink and red/orange. I got the yellow. It is a plastic-y clutch style bag that's perfect for holidays! Inside the bag I got ... 

Benefit Dream Screen

Cowshed Moisturising Hand Cream

Unani Aloe Vera Gel

Barley Beauty Sponge

Pop Beauty Bright Up Your Life Eye Shadow Palette

Balance Me Congested Skin Serum

And now we have ... Glossybox. 

I had never heard of Glossybox before until I saw a flyer in some magazine (maybe asos, but who knows) and read that is was the UK's number 1 subscription box. As Birchbox have been letting me down lately I thought I would compare the two for a couple month and pick my favourite. The box this month is so beautiful, here is what I got ... 

Vichy Aqualia Moisturiser

Lollipops Lip Balm

Noxi Doxi Serum Base

Teoxane Perfect Skin Refiner

Glossybox Travel Bag

Overall I did really like these boxes. Didn't love. My favourite thing is definitely the Pop Eye Shadow, the colours and shimmer are perfect for summer, so I would have to say Birchbox wins this round!

Check back next month for another face off!
