Birchbox VS MyGlam

A while back I signed up for Birchbox and MyGlam.
If you are unsure what they are they both deal with sending you samples for $10 a month, sometimes full sizes. Birchbox sends them in a box and MyGlam gives you a bag.

I have received two of each so far.

The first Birchbox I wasn't happy with I wish I had taken pictures of them. Yes I had a full sized lip balm but I'm a lip balm person and have a lot of those. There were some neat things to try but honestly I wouldn't buy them.

My first MyGlam I was excited for. I received a nice pink bag and an eye shadow brush and eyeliner brush. There was a blue eyeliner which honestly I will never wear and some other little things.

My second Birchbox I was happy with. I was excited, am always excited when the packages come. There was an awesome headband inside, makeup brush cleaner, and small samples. If only the headbands didn't cost $20 for a pack I would get them I love them.

My second MyGlam I was mixed about. I received a red lipstick. I happen to be someone who can pull off wearing red lipstick so it was okay, but probably not something I would wear the formula would leave red lips on my husband's face he would not be happy with. 2 more brushes, a  concealer and a different eyeliner brush, sample of perfume, and something for my nails. The bag had pink kisses all over it and is cute.

I can't tell you which one I like better right now. For next month I will take pictures of both so you can compare the packaging. I can't even tell you if it's a good $20's well spent, well now $40. But I can tell you I have received things that I wouldn't normally get.

There is a huge wait list for both. And I can tell you in previous bags that I hadn't received some awesome things were given away.

If you get a change go check them out. I have also signed up for Julep, a bit pricer $19.99 a month but I am only going for 1 month on a special. Julep has nail polishes.

Are there any other ones you recommend?
