I want to start off by saying that I know I
have been doing smackdowns with Ipsy for a while now. This part 3 will
make 10 months at the end of it. Ipsy has won fair and square these last
two times. I started this series with the intention to help me decide
on a box to stick with for a year, as well as to show you [the reader]
what there is to know about the different boxes out there in a low-budget price range. So after
renewing Ipsy, I decided to continue with the smackdown series.
So then what happens when/if Ipsy doesn't win a
smackdown? One of two things probably, I will do a round two, or I will
keep that box in mind when my Ipsy gets close to renewing and reevaluate
whether or not I want to keep Ipsy. If not, then I will start the
smackdown series using the winning box instead.
Another thing I wanted to touch on was my "The Scoop On..."
series, these are my thoughts and research that are to be informative
and read in conjunction with my smackdown series. I didn't start off
doing these, but I actually went back and wrote out one for the first
part with Beauty Box 5. These are in no way meant to answer all of your
questions, they are not updated regularly, so if you want to be sure you
are getting the latest information on that subscription service make
sure you check their FAQs out.
As I stated previously the point of these smackdowns is to
inform you on what boxes are out there in this price range ($10-$15/month). For me it really isn't so much
about the competition between boxes, but the fun of getting them and
sharing my thoughts with you. It can be really hard to pick what box is
right for you, so even if something isn't for me I still try to be
fair. That being said, this can be a difficult task when you get so
invested in these boxes.
At the end of the day I'm spending my own money to
do these reviews because I want to. That also means that I am a paying
customer in much the same situation as the average person getting these
boxes. The difference is that I put mine up on the internet to share it
with you as I would share it with my friends. My blog doesn't get a ton
of attention, so it's not like I'm getting any special treatment, which
is important to me. I want to show you how the average person is being
treated by these companies whether that's good or otherwise. I find
those types of reviews to be helpful.
I try and provide honest reviews, and I pride myself on
giving the best review I can, because I'm not here to sell you a product
or a service, I'm not being paid. If I don't like a product I will tell
you that I don't like it and I'll tell you why. I want more than
anything to have trustworthy reviews and not only to be helpful but to
entertain you as you read through these things. So whether you're
following me or not, thank you for stopping by. Come back soon!
xoxo
