Review: May Birchbox vs My Glam

Second and last battle.  Why?  Because I cancelled Birchbox.  Yeap, I did.  The last two boxes didn't impressed me that much and I prefer My Glam.  I also realized I was spending $20 each month for sample boxes = $240 per year = Michael Kors tote.  Ha!  Got me?  Here's the last battle and Is pretty obvious who won it...

PRESENTATION:

 Birchbox
vs.
My Glam

[ What's the deal with the Birchbox Gossip Girl promo?  I bet that for those who like these series, the box was heaven-ish this month, but what does that have to do with the products inside?  I don't watch it, so I don't get it.  The My Glam make-up bag was cute. ]

SAYING 'HI' CARDS:

Birchbox
vs.

My Glam

 

[ I like the detailed description from Birchbox, but I think that My Glam is easier to read. ]


INSIDE THE BOXES:

My Glam

 

[ I hate when the boxes bring perfume samples, but putting that aside, the stuff inside My Glam's box instantly caught my attention! See below an Instagram shot of the Nail Bling. ]

HIGHLIGHTS:

  

Birchbox

vs.
My Glam

 

 [ My eyes are the main focus when I put make-up on. Eye-liner and mascara are my favorite parts and I love to try new colors and shapes.  That's why I was more excited about the Birchbox highlight.  On the other hand, the My Glam Redwood lipstick is GORGEOUS  and good quality, so let's say this is a tie. See picture below of how they both look. ]

 

SECOND HIGHLIGHTS: 

 Birchbox
vs.
My Glam

[ Birchbox: Hair conditioner and face cream (almost empty bottles).
My Glam: Concealer brush and eye-liner brush. 
You know what I think, right?  ME = eye-make-up-girl.  ;) ]


 Now I want to know your opinion!

Birchbox vs My Glam

Let the battle begin!
Last month I received my first My Glam.  You know I'm receiving Birchbox since January, so I decided to start a monthly battle to know which one was better.  Are your ready?

Presentation:

[ Birchbox is more impressing and chic than My Glam ]

Saying HI cards:

 [ very similar, but it seems like that My Glam has a different theme for each package and I really like that. ]

Highlights:

 [ I prefer eye make-up than lipstick, so this is a plus for My Glam.  I also gotta say this is a really good liner, since is pitch black and lasts all day! ]

 

Inside the boxes:

 [ One of the things I don't like about Birchbox is that they send lots of perfume samples.  I don't use perfume, so these are useless for me.  I still haven't use the MicrodermaMit, but will this weekend ]

[ The theme for My Glam this month was "Girl Night Out".  Eye-lashes, eye-brushes, eye-liner and pretty lips.  I loved everything and I'm actually using everything, except for the eye-lashes, which I'm saving for a special occasion. ]

 What do you think?
