I knew Rachel would pick the lip gloss kit when I saw it in choice. I wish I picked it as well, I got the brushes and I agree, very poor quality. Katrina, I have that Saturday skin face wash and I love it. It's one of my favorites, very gentle but thick and foamy my skin loves it! I think you will like it. I'm very excited for icon box next month I can't wait . ❤❤❤
Lovely to Rachael a little more colourful makeup. The shimmer eyeshadow is lovely on her. Keeps stepping out of your comfort. The boxycharm box in the month before Icon box is always lacklustre. Clearly a ploy, to make Icon month appear really wow!
I’m really glad that I canceled months ago. I got that Saturday Skin product over a year ago in a Ipsy Plus box. Okay, so I have to say that I watch a lot of subscription box openings and make up videos and you girls are my favorites. I love that you are original and absolutely real ! Stay true to yourselves and each other. Take care and God Bless you both. ❤
Rachel’s eyeshadow looks great!! I love simple looks with high impact. I wouldn’t want to get a lot of skincare either, there’s only so much you can use every month.
I felt the same way about my January box. It just was not a good month. My choices were not great and boost was not worth it either. I got items I will use but nothing that I was excited for. I really enjoy when you guys do videos together. Maybe you guys can do a get ready with me video using makeup products that are out of your comfort zones from previous and current boxes.
You didn’t miss out with the LYS mascara. The first two times I used it, results were good but from the 3rd day on, too much comes out of the tube. I try to put the excess marscara back because if I don’t get the extra off, it clumps and groups lashes together. I’ve resorted to getting the excess off with a paper towel. I shouldn’t have to do this. On the review on the Ipsy app others had exactly the same problem.
My box was pretty underwhelming this month too. I did get those glosses too and I really liked them. I've noticed that it seems like the months before Icon box months are always kinda blah. I think they go a little cheaper the month before icon box so they can really go all out for the icon boxes.
Love your sister videos! So fun! My Power picks were the LYS mascara and the Ofra palette. I was happy with those. My choice items were the eyeshadow stick, which I love, the pink lips bronzer stick( don’t really care for that), and the celery serum. I guess the serum is ok and I’m using it cause it’s all I have, but I don’t think I’d chose it again. Let’s hope February will be a better month for Ipsy box and bag! January was definitely meh!
Love a sister video! PS - I did get the ABH concealer as a power pick. While there might be a bunch of colors I didn't get to choose and the color I received didn't work for me. I also found the formula heavier and thicker than I expected based on the description. It went in my donate pile along with the Ofra power pick (their formula doesn't work well for me).
I got the Dr's scrub as well but it's one of my fave scrubs so I was happy to get that. the rest of my box was meh. My other power pick was the Ofra palette and i hate browns. I'm so sick of browns so I have to give that away. Is Rachel wearing that ND highlighter from the Lucky Bag on her eyes?
Legit what was wrong with the choices for January? I didn’t like any of my choices either. They had stuff we wanted in the full list but just got all of our choices SO wrong. I don’t understand what happened there.
I agree the choices for this box were not that great this month. I am afraid for next month based on spoilers I have seen so far. I am up for renewal in March and based on the past few boxes I will more than likely not be renewing. I love when you guys do videos together. I think you both look like you enjoy making these videos and spending time together.
Good evening Rachel and Katrina!!! If I had to choose between your boxes I would choose Rachels box this month. I am not really liking what I have seen from Ipsy on here this month. My favorite items would be the brush set, the lip gloss set, and the SPF sunscreen. Thank you so much for sharing with us, and I hope you both have a Blessed week!!!
Love the sister vs sister vids! So much fun 🎉 I have an older sister and you two remind me on my sister and me lol she’s only 15 months older than me but to hear us together you’d think she was years older 😂 I love the banter back n forth with each other! Rachel your makeup looks so on point! I’m loving the eyeshadow and mascara. I also have very pigmented lips so I love a good gloss or oil too 😊 that lip gloss looked great on you! You are stunning 💜 Katrina your makeup is always on point 😊 and I love the videos you do trying on some products 🎉so fun! You’re absolutely beautiful as well! 💖 I liked both boxes but I agree there could’ve been better choices, especially with the price increase. I cancelled when they raised the price yet again. Doesn’t look like they’re doing anything different or giving you more for the price inc. 🤷♀️ I’ll always watch the unboxings though😊have a great week! Hugs! 💜💖❤️
There was not very good choices for me either IMO! The GR sunscreen wasn’t an option for me or in addition ons 😢. I do kinda wish I choice the cream bronzer stick now though. I have seen a few use it and it goes on so easy and creamy and blends out effortlessly. I have dry skin so I’m really trying to get into more cream products. I honestly can’t pick which one of your boxes as a fav. I would pick a few from each I think to make a box lol. TFS ladies ♥️
I’ll write my box details below. I can’t pick whose box I like better. My profile is set to makeup heavy and there was hardly anything to pick from. Power picks and choices didn’t look too great but the add ons…I really look forward too. January Power Picks: REN CLEAN SKINCARE Glow Daily Vitamin C Gel Cream $54 SATURDAY SKIN Rise + Shine Gentle Cleanser $26 Choices: LAURA MERCIER Rose Glow Caviar Stick Eye Shadow in Bed of Roses $32 HALF CAKED Lip Gloss Duo in Mezmerize & Crystal Baller-smells like strawberries and cream $18 REALHER Prebiotic Setting Spray $35 Total value:$165US/approx $223CAD Add ons: The briogio banana spray I heard smells amazing and works great, I got 3. Anything Amika I love so I got 2 shine sprays. Danesa’s dew wet balm & finally something from JLO., that glow serum lol. So excited.
I started subscribing to Ipsy and Boxy in the fall of 2020. I just threw out so much makeup and skincare. It's such a shame that it's such of waste. No one could ever use all of that and not knowing the expiration dates, I would not give them away. I'm considering ending my subscription and using that money towards products of my choice.I only got this box this month because I wanted the boost-the micro current toning tool. Ipsy chose for me the Ofra eye shadow palette and the Saturday Skin cleanser and I chose things I didn't care for just to make choices-the stem cell scalp serum, volume blow dry spray and reacher setting spray...not good.
No but they told me whats on that paper is our power pixks and only them so the kopari isnt on it. I got it as well and im oissed. Last 4 months i got one item from it constant fighting and im over never gettinf whay i pay for iur box now is 7.95 shipping and costs 57.00 now and thats not cheap.
There are different sections on your account for each subscription. Make sure you are looking for the one that says Boxycharm. If you still have problems, contact customer service through the "bot". Hopefully they can help!
Katrina I prefer your box. If I pick skincare or review skincare we'll they change my box to lean more skincare. So I never do. Even if I like it. Have a great week ❌️ ⭕️
I think so as well. The quality is so much better and choice items are pretty good, hard to decide. I think it all comes down to the curator that month, if you like their products. You won't get all their products but a few.
Packaging doesn't make the product. Goldfadden looks very pharmaceutical as it should. I have the brushes too. They're great , the shapes and sizes are very good for my eye shape. The packaging doesn't matter. After all, what is going to happen to it? In the trash. I'm just saying don't judge things and devalue them because of packaging. There are a lot of indie brands and they don't have the budget for packaging. They're not artisinal . A set from Sonia G is $240.
Does your sister have oily skin too? I have dry and glow recipe doesnt work for my skin at all. Mine was so bad I demanded a refund. Didnt like 1 item. I canceled. No anastasia either. No glow recipe even though it doesnt work for me. No kopari. Jan HUGE disappointment. I bet $$ many canceled and freaked esp after the price hike AGAIN. Its like $37 after taxes. Maybe more. I cant even keep track. It was $20, no tax or fee. I think cheek contour would be fun for you and your sis. The 3rd choice was terrible. Thats what I would have chosen too. I dont know the brand. Not cool. Ipsy used to be better than boxy with brands. Its sad. Ive been telling you.. the brushes are so rarely actually from the brand. Please try to look them up whenever you get them. They are ordered from a bulk site and they pay a high end or decent brand a small amount to use their name im nearly positive. You will very rarely find the brushes on the brands website 😮 ooo my power picks were a joke. Your bag id only be happy with the kopari.. its a good brand and I dont have much eye products. I honestly havent cared much for Saturday Skin Products. I dont get why they would do 2 skin power picks unless you say you want ALL skincare. Your sisters.. Glow Recipe and Goldfaden are good products and the Laura Mercier. So I think hers wins but nothing exciting. I dont like spf.
I lost my sister 9 years ago so I really enjoy your videos. You’re very Blessed to have each other. Great video. ❤
A lot of people take vacation for spring break in February so maybe they think a high spf is a good idea.?
I received the LYS mascara and the Ofra shadow palette as my power picks.
Me too..same power picks ❤
I knew Rachel would pick the lip gloss kit when I saw it in choice. I wish I picked it as well, I got the brushes and I agree, very poor quality. Katrina, I have that Saturday skin face wash and I love it. It's one of my favorites, very gentle but thick and foamy my skin loves it! I think you will like it.

The boxycharm box in the month before Icon box is always lacklustre.
Clearly a ploy, to make Icon month appear really wow!
Have you guys noticed a lot of the choice items are available the month before in the points shop? I’ve noticed the last two months 😢
I’m really glad that I canceled months ago. I got that Saturday Skin
product over a year ago in a Ipsy Plus box.
Okay, so I have to say that I watch a lot of subscription box openings and make up videos and you girls are my favorites. I love that you are original and absolutely real ! Stay true to yourselves and each other. Take care and God Bless you both. ❤
Rachel’s eyeshadow looks great!! I love simple looks with high impact. I wouldn’t want to get a lot of skincare either, there’s only so much you can use every month.
Do the contour stick not directly on your face rub your brush in and then press in your hand before your face. Makes your control better.
Yes! Treat it like you would a powder in application! Great tip!
I felt the same way about my January box. It just was not a good month. My choices were not great and boost was not worth it either. I got items I will use but nothing that I was excited for.

I love to hear you ladies laugh. Sisterhood awesome
These sister videos are the best. So cute when smelling the half caked lippies

The sister telepathy smelling the glosses lmao
Rachel might have some luck trying Korean sunscreens. There are great reviews videos on RUclips and many can be bought on Amazon.
Rachel I love Laura Mercia crayon so easy to apply and blend out. Stays all day
I have to say, I just love your sister vs sister videos! It is so special to have a sister. Makes me want to go call mine!
My box was pretty underwhelming this month too. I did get those glosses too and I really liked them. I've noticed that it seems like the months before Icon box months are always kinda blah. I think they go a little cheaper the month before icon box so they can really go all out for the icon boxes.
I also got the Laura Mercier shadow stick. I don’t wear eye shadow often but I’ve worn this product twice this week.
I got the Slather in a Dermy Doc last year and it was perfect for elbows, knees and feet.

I chose the Game Beauty brushes and they are very soft! They are great Indie brand
Yes, the brush handles are so nice, too! Pretty color and feel nice in the hand. The package is just getting tossed, anyway!
I got the Dr's scrub as well but it's one of my fave scrubs so I was happy to get that. the rest of my box was meh. My other power pick was the Ofra palette and i hate browns. I'm so sick of browns so I have to give that away. Is Rachel wearing that ND highlighter from the Lucky Bag on her eyes?

Katrina, do you try to turn your product sideways when holding them?
I only want the ipsy, they are making it impossible for me to cancel the boxycharm. Help😢

I got two sets of brushes cause I didn’t like anything elese picks sucked this month
I got two sets as well.. I do like the three piece set but the other set not so much. Very cheap.
I hated everything that was in my box! Sorry but I wouldn’t chose either one of your boxes!
Is the Icon box really worth the extra money???
Personally I think so! I only do icon box months
I think so as well. The quality is so much better and choice items are pretty good, hard to decide. I think it all comes down to the curator that month, if you like their products. You won't get all their products but a few.

No glow recipe even though it doesnt work for me. No kopari. Jan HUGE disappointment. I bet $$ many canceled and freaked esp after the price hike AGAIN. Its like $37 after taxes. Maybe more.

The Lys Mascara is already in the garbage. Very clunky and makes my lashes look gross and spidery.
The choices are never great since Joe left
No choices were crap have been so mad for the price. And small cheap shit
First🎉😊
