Beauty in a box

For some reason I can't remember, I started subscribing to a YouTube channel by a girl named Bunny who calls her channel "grav3yardgirl". She's pretty entertaining, I love her "Does This Thing Really Work?" series where she actually buys and records herself  trying out all those as seen on tv things that claim to change your life. Some of them really work, like the bacon bowl and some do not work that great, like the NONO hair removal. I think she almost caught her friends arm on fire trying to remove all his black arm hair. Anyway, I deviated from my usual programming to watch her open a monthly beauty box and try out all the goodies in there. I don't remember the company, but I remember thinking, "Man, that's like Christmas every month!"
So, I decided to look into this Christmas every month thing and there are TONS of these companies. I didn't want to pick just anyone or leave it to flipping a coin because that never works out so well - so I did some research. I looked at Allure magazines online article about this because I think that they are pretty credible in the beauty world. I also read some blogs like Buzzfeed and Babble.com.  I finally went with a company called IPSY. I clicked on the get started button and was taken to a 20 question beauty quiz where they asked me things like what type of styles would I like to try (I picked "hip and edgy" and "simple", I thought it a good mix) and what type of hair do I have, eye color, hair color and so on like that. I didn't mind this part, I expected it because how else are they supposed to know what to surprise me with? Then, and here's the parts I didn't care for, I had to pick ten friends to share the IPSY experience with. I'm thinking, I don't even know what the poop yet, why would I want to say "hey guys, do this thing with me." Then, I had to subscribe to their YouTube channel, no big because I can always unsubscribe later. Also, I had to sign up to follow them and one of their stylists on Instagram, which I didn't mind because I like the pictures on Instagram. I was hesitant about doing this because it's $10 a month, but I just cancelled my Netflix since I never watch it anymore and I can cancel the beauty box anytime.
Now I'm all signed up and am supposed to be getting a surprise beauty box with 6-7 new things and samples by mid-May (just in time for my birthday! yay me!)
