I got that same Cargo blush in Bali from Birchbox and I love it too! I went out and bought the full size one.

Birchbox also just sent me the new Pur Minerals CC Cream and I really liked that. It also has an SPF of 40.

Oooh I wish I got the Pur Minerals CC! I currently use the Smashbox CC and love it but it doesn't have SPF 40!!

I started following them on instagram and they are always having sales on their products. I'll have to try the mascara!

I got that too and love it, but I still like the Mirenesse Glossy Kiss better. I also don't like how the Pouty Pop Crayons you have to buy in a pack of 6 instead of individually.

I love the Sarah McNamara transformer face! It's tinted moisturizer with SPF and it goes on so smooth and makes my blush / bronzer look sooo good! I'll be purchasing it when I get paid!

I've never tried the face one! But I am totally addicted to the body one.

Jouer matte tinted moisturizer from Birchbox. I fell in love with the sample but can't afford a full size :/

I'm thinking of cancelling Birchbox and switching to Ipsy.

Yeah, the Jouer stuff is expensive!

I have both and have yet to cancel either. The Birchbox is nice because you get the points when you review so you can use them for purchases in the shop, and I've found that overall I like more samples in the BB. But, the ipsy bag gives you a discount code to use every month on the brands you get in the bag and I think the samples are bigger and from more affordable brands. Such a tough call!
