I thought the Pop trio in the Birchbox was purple (or at least mine is)? The colors in the Nyx look very brown to me. They are all good shades for me so I will keep them (even though I don't know why, I have 6 big palettes that need to be used and a drawer full of other stuff).Bag twins!
I was excited for the shadow until I got the Pop trio in my Birchbox, and those colors are so close, and probably a better match than this that I will likely not keep it.
I can't wear most lipsticks, so that's a bust for me
And I have the same issue with brow products, so that will likely be a bust,(note to the OP: if you are looking for something that works well for redheads, I have an NYX powder duo+gel in auburn I purchased that I LOVE, it has a light and dark auburn powder, and while I only use the darker one, they are a GREAT match and don't look too dark or fake)
The other stuff, eh, I will try it, but I don't see me keeping this sub once my year is up.
I'm really hoping the lipstick is like KVD matte. They are probably some of the best lip sticks I own so it's what I tend to compare things to.
I use Just For Redheads brow products. They are as close to perfect as I'm going to get (maybe a tad bit dark if I apply heavily). I find that a lot of drugstore and high end stuff seems to be a better color match for dyed red hair rather than real. I haven't tried the Nyx though. I went through a phase of using taupe colors because my brows are actually a very fair blonde as are my lashes. However like I said it's ashy and looks so weird with bright copper hair. All the beauty things I've read over the years have lied to me, they always just told me to just use what blondes use. Unless you are a strawberry blonde (as in more blonde than red) I don't think that works at all though.
I been subscribed to Ipsy for almost a year now. I really like them still. I tend to get what I want more often than not. At the very least I get one of the best possible selections out of the sneak peeks for me. It makes me wonder if I'm just lucky or if it has to do with the way most people answer the quiz.. I've also wondered if when you rate something low they keep sending you things from that brand to try and change your opinion. I recently just started trying out Birchbox and am very underwhelmed by my itty bitty baby samples. I think the only reason I haven't canceled them is because of the points program. Though this month is better size wise they sent me a duplicate perfume.
