Since I am a total beauty junkie and love subscription boxes. I figured I’d start a monthly comparison of two of my favorite $10 beauty subscription boxes that I currently subscribe to! Please bear in mind that both Sephora Play! and Ipsy send out different variations each month, so I’ll be basing my decision on the products received in my boxes.

Let’s get started. 🙂

ipsy

Ipsy is a monthly beauty subscription that sends out 5 deluxe or full-size products for only $10. Subscribers receive a glam bag each month filled up with personalized goodies.

What did I get this month?

Yadah Silky Fit Concealer BB – $5.60
Seraphine Botanicals Ginger + Gold Peach & Gold Frosting Blush – $14.00 (full size)
Make Up For Ever Excessive Lash 2.5 mL – $6.44 (deluxe size)
Formula Ten O Six Pores Be Pure Skin-Clarifying Mud Mask – (30 mL) – $3.00
Sundays No 07 Nail Polish in Beige Rose – $18.00

Total value was around $50.00 this month with at least 2 full-size products and 3 deluxe samples.

Play! by Sephora

Play! by Sephora is a monthly subscription by Sephora that sends out 5 deluxe samples plus a fragrance sample in a collectible bag for $10. Also, inside every box, you’ll receive a ticket that you can bring in store to redeem for 50 Bonus Insider points plus a one-on-one tutorial that is all about you!

Beauty Blender Micro Mini – $9.00

WINNER OF THE MONTH

ipsy hands down! While I definitely enjoyed some products from Play!, I was much happier with my ipsy glam bag. The overall value was way higher than the monthly cost along with some great full-size products that I have been truly enjoying.
