IPSY is a $10 monthly subscription box of beauty products. 


Each box (or pink package) contains a make-up pouch that is designed according to the monthly box theme. The bag contains a combination of 4-5 sample and full size products.This subscription box is the best way to try and test different make-up brands without breaking the bank. This is also a cheap way to build your make up arsenal. :)

Ipsy ships to US and Canada.

This month's theme is Carpe p.m.


Here is this month's make up bag:

I love this bag!It looks so festive and very fitting for the holidays.  It can also double as a clutch. Good job Ipsy!

Here are the goodies:


Blah. All the items in my glam bag are repeat products. Nothing new. It is weird because I ALWAYS review each and every single glam bag that they send me. I honestly do not think they pay attention to it! anyway, I am just glad to receive good stuff - at least.

Here is a closer look:

tarte cosmetics
deluxe maracuja oil 

 

City Color Cosmetics
Be Matte Blush in Fresh Melon, Blackberry, and Guava 

 

OUAI
Wave Spray 

 

OFRA Cosmetics
Bliss Eyeshadow/Highlighter 

Cake Beauty
heavy cream intensive hand repair balm

Finally, a little bonus:

LadyKin Affinitic Snail Cream (MINI)

I claimed this cute moisturizer using the points I acquired from reviewing each products in the glam bags.  Remember that you can get up to 85 points each month from reviewing your bags! 
Not bad, eh?!

MishiBox is a Korean beauty monthly subscription box.

http://r.sloyalty.com/r/utCDOXxdQg4P

It offers a combination of 4-6 deluxe and full-sized Korean beauty products each month. Subscription is $19.95 per month with free shipping.  They also offer an annual subscription rate of $239.40. This is the easiest and most affordable way to try and test Korean beauty brands.


Each box contains a card describing all the items in the box.  It also gives the instructions on  how to use the products.  This is very helpful since most labels and how to's are written in Korean.

Here are the items in the box:



What I love about Mishi Box is the fact that they ALWAYS have more than one full size product.  It definitely beats other subscription boxes. They also have a good mix of skincare and cosmetics every month.

Here is a closer look of the goodies:


Full Size!
Value: $4/ 25 ml 
I received the Aqua Energy variant.  This mask moisturizes and refreshes the skin.
 

 


Full Size!
Value: $8/ 8g
This is a multi-functional color balm that can be used on the eyes, cheeks and lips. It is available in color white and pink.  I received the white one and I honestly do not know how to use it. Hahahaha I guess I have to troll people on You Tube and see how can this powdery-silk cosmetic can give me a hint of color without looking like Casper.



Full Size!
Value: $2/35g
This mask wipes away the effects of stress, exhaustion and irritation.  
I need this mask! The craziness of the Holidays really did take a toll on my skin.
 

Mini Size
Value: $5 
Colors: Working Day, Lovely Day, Morning Calm, Morning Glow, All Night
 
I love the sleek case of this palette! The colors are amazing too! Very wearable, subtle but beautiful.
 
 
Full Size!
Value: $25/50 ml
This snail cream moisturizes and calms the skin, leaving it feeling supple and smooth. It also minimizes fine lines and wrinkles. 
 
BONUS ITEM
 
 
  Mishi Box threw in this adorable Semi-Precious bracelet as a Thank you bonus for their loyal subscribers. Wow, Thanks, Mishi Box!

Loot Crate is a monthly subscription box for geeks and gamers. It has now expanded from the original monthly themed boxes to more exclusive and singular themed subscription - such as Firely, Halo, Sanrio, etc. 



Just recently, Loot Crate released the J.K. Rowling's Wizarding World Subscription Box. It features goodies that are related to the magical world - may it be Harry Potter, Magical Congress of the United States or the Fantastic Beasts. This subscription is priced at $34.99 plus shipping and handling per crate. Delivery is every other month - that totals to about six crates per year. Each box contains 5-7 exclusive items.


True to the classic Loot Crate style, the box can be flipped inside out to reveal a unique design. 



Here is closer look of the first  J.K. Rowling's Wizarding World Subscription Box


 This month's box is geared towards more on the Fantastic Beast theme. I was expecting this but hoping to get some Harry Potter stuff too - simply because I am a huge fan. Nevertheless, I am happy to receive these things inspired by the new movie.

Macusa Notebook
Magical Congress of the United Sates of America Notebook

Pop Figure (Assortment)
Niffler
Other possible figure includes Newt Scamander, Tina Goldstein, Albus Dumbledore 
and Jacob Kowalski

Hmm. I'm a little bummed to have received Niffler instead of a Dumbledore or Scamander figure. 


 Hedwig/Letter Keychain 
I love this keychain! The design  is really cute though it is quite heavy. 

 Pigwidgeon Plush
 This is the owl given to Ron by Sirius Black


 Fantastic Beast T-Shirt
Featuring a page from the New York Ghost Paper


 Bowtruckle Pin
From the Fantastic Beast Movie


Instead of the typical Loot Crate exclusive magazine, a beautiful scroll listing all the items in this month's box was thrown in - it  adds a bit more magic to the already amazing box!
