The box itself is super cute and I was surprised to see the free brushes were full sized ones! they're very soft and feel really nice. The products I actually got in the box itself are SO USEFUL for me. I got a primer, which I needed. A mascara, which I needed. An eyeliner, which I needed and an eyemask (which I DESPERATELY needed OOF)

The only thing I probably won't end up using right away is the shampoo. It's handy for travelling but honestly those little sample tubes would only last 1 wash in my hair anyway so

Do I think it's worth the £12+ a month? Meh not really. Honestly I expected the box to be bigger and have more than 5 things in it. Although 4/5 items I would absolutely use right away, I just wasn't blown away by the amount of stuff. I probably wouldn't subscribe again unless they did another promo. I think if I didn't also get the brushes I'd be let down.

Conclusion: Maybe I'm just a cheapskate

i think those boxes are fun when you have extra money to blow but easy to cancel when you wanna save money.

Baconpants: I agree! I would never sign up for one of these subscription boxes on a regular basis, but if they do another good deal like this one, I'll consider it again!

i do ipsy here and there when i wanna load up my makeup box with stuff, because i'm so bad with buying (and using) makeup on a regular basis. but after a few months i'm full and cancel lol

Baconpants: what do you think of Ipsy? ihaven't tried it yet!

its a lot better than it used to be, the last time i subbed last year they gave me stuff i'd actually use

if you haven't tried it, someone who does sub probably has a free bag code so you can
