I think one of the most common questions I get is which subscription box do you prefer between the $10 Beauty Boxes? Birchbox, ipsy or Play! by Sephora? So, I thought it would be fun to do a little monthly Battle of the Boxes! Let’s check out the February 2017 boxes:

I was pretty pleased with all the boxes this month, but for me, the winner this month was……. ipsy! It had an amazing value and so many full-size goodies!
What was your favorite $10 Beauty Box this month?
I usually like sephora best, but I would have to agree that it was Ipsy for February. My Ipsy bag was a bit different, as was my birchbox, but the sephora was the same. I sent the Birchbox to my sister for her birthday (I was sorry the box wasn’t prettier). I’m going to the sephora play party for the first time tomorrow. But I wish I had last month, when the samples were so different between bags.
