January Birchbox and Ipsy

The first Birchbox and Ipsy Glam Bag of the year have arrived. 
These are monthly subscription boxes that cost $10 shipped in the US.
I share these with m mom each month. The items she chose are in PURPLE

  • Harvey Prince Hello Body Creme- This mini tube of body creme has a pleasant citrus-floral scent that is not overpowering. 
  • Key West Aloe Gentle Facial Cleanser- A decent sized sample of a foaming facial cleanser. 
  • Ciate London Mini Paint Pot in Mineral Love- As a nail polish lover I have wanted to try Ciate, but I'm just not liking this. Besides being a tiny and only half full "paint pot" the color isn't good. It is a translucent pink with mineral glitter.
  • Raw Spirit Fragrances Bijou Vert-  My mom always grabs the fragrance samples. Not entirely sure what it smells like but she liked it.
  • Eyeko Fat Liquid Liner- I have never seen my mom grab something out of these boxes so fast. She claims she will try the Adele cat eye look. Her attempt thus far is a little scary.

Ipsy always includes a makeup bag with there subscription box. See the first photo
  • PEEK Beauty Natural Stain Brow Powder- This little tin looks like eyeshadow but the powder is a light stain to define your eyebrows. Last month in the Ipsy bag they sent me a brow brush that works perfectly with this.
  • City Color Cosmetics Eyeshadow Trio in Falling Leaves- A full sized eyeshadow trio in a reddish purple tones. 
  • Pur~lisse Blue Lotus 4-in-1 Eye Adore Serum- A tiny tube of eye serum for getting rid of wrinkles and puffy eyes among others things.
  • Mitchell and Peach English Leaf Body Cream- Such a strong scent. Personally I didn't like it but my mom did.
  • theBalm Cosmetics Mr. Write (Now)- A Purple-ish eyeliner pencil. Not a fan of this. The color is fine but it doesn't go on smooth. It tugs too much.

 This month's favorites are from Birchbox- The Fat Liquid Liner and from Ipsy- the Brow Powder.
Did you get either of these subscription boxes this month?
What was your favorite item?
