Allure Beauty – Feb 2019

Allure Beauty is another monthly beauty subscription box.  They made changes in 2019.  Instead of a box the products are shipped in a mailer and each month there is a medium size size bag to keep everything in.  Last month it was red.  For February’s shipment it was black.  The bags are very stylish with gold hardware.  This is another beauty subscription that it is very good value for your cost.

For $15, this is  what I got:

  • Wander Beauty – Mile High Club Mascara – Retail Value $26
  • ModelCo Eyeshadow Trio – Retail Value $15
  • Moda Brush – Triad Eye Brush – Retail Value $4.99
  • Mamonde Rose Oil to Foam Cleanser – Deluxe Sample
  • Mamonde Rose Flower Essence Mask – Retail Value $3
  • BrowGal – The Instatint – Brown – Retail Value $22
  • LaRitzy Lip Pencil – Bare – Retail Value $18

Total Retail Value for $15 was a whooping $63.  That is more than 4x the amount.

Ipsy – Feb 2019

Ipsy is an OG subscription service that I have had since 2014.  They were on the chopping block last year.  No reason other than I was getting too much make-up.  They have really made some great changes recently and I like ordering products from their Ipsy shop.  If I wanted to, I could pause my service or I could go to a bi-monthly delivery.  They also have an upgraded Ipsy Plus box that is competitive to BoxyCharm and Glossy Box.  For now, I’m going to keep the service at monthly.

Here is what I received for the subscription service:

  • Sur.Medic – Sheet Mask Duo – Retail Value $2.40
  • F.A.R.A.H Brush – Powder Brush 50F –   Retail Value $15
  • GlamGlow – Glowstarter Mega Illuminating Moisturizer – sample
  • Inara Cosmobeauty – Nail Polish – Pulse – Retail Value $3
  • Tony Moly – Petite Bunny Gloss – Juicy Cherry – Retail Value $8

Compared to Birchbox and Sephora Play – Ipsy always sends more Full Size items.

The value for the $10 bag was over $28.  This is almost triple the cost of the bag.

I also bought 3 deluxe sample items for $3/ea.  This is a new service that is available each month.  Here is what I got

  • Chella Eyeliner Pen in Purple
  • Elemis Superfood Facial wash
  • Hanalei Lip Treatment in Peach
