Re: Birchbox vs. Ipsy with Juicystar07!
I wonder which box subscription they're being paid by to do this. My god they are 10x more stupid together i had to click out! Elle does look better with that hair color but nothing can do much for her looks she still looks haggard. The way she contours her Michael Jackson nose like that it looks so bad. Why get a nose job then continue contouring the hell out of it.

Re: Birchbox vs. Ipsy with Juicystar07!
Elle and Blair have ALWAYS done that thing where they memorize one big word or ingredient and talk about it until the fucking cows come home. Elle especially loves to flaunt when she knows a big word - its so embarrassing.
That whole "oh we are allergic to this one ingredient" speech is so stupid. They love to look like such special snowflakes.

Re: Birchbox vs. Ipsy with Juicystar07!
Elle has talked about Bismuth Oxychloride since her beginning YouTube days, when she was trying out bare minerals. If you google it aLOT of people are allergic to it. Just because the average person doesn't know individual beauty ingredients that break them out doesn't mean that a full-fledged beauty guru won't. And Elle knows a lot about skincare ingredients and what they do for your skin (DIB blog)BlueEyedBelle wrote:Elle and Blair have ALWAYS done that thing where they memorize one big word or ingredient and talk about it until the fucking cows come home.

I'm not the biggest EB fan but geez, I think some people are just nit picking here.

Re: Birchbox vs. Ipsy with Juicystar07!
That was a golden opportunity for them to elaborate on what those ingredients are & skin/makeup allergies (it would have taken maybe 1 or 2 minutes).
They just sounded like a pair of snobs imo. I recall Elle talking about mineral oil breaking her out but was actually surprised Blair even knew how to say bismuth considering she acts like an airhead all the time & pretends she can't say words or read properly.
That is what bugs me about them. If they know about ingredients and skincare etc then why do they insist on acting like a pair of flakes all the time? They're known more for being airheads than being knowledgeable of products. Then all of a sudden they're ingredient experts

I hate that now they have such highly produced videos. I want to see girls sitting in their room telling us what is good and what isn't.

Re: Birchbox vs. Ipsy with Juicystar07!
Really? I think they have some of the crappier quality videos esp for the status they have on YT. They do the bare miniumum of editing. Elle is better at it than Blair but still, they can't even bother to film swatches half the time.al218 wrote:I hate that now they have such highly produced videos.

I know what you're saying tho. One of my favorite videos from Blair was her Ulta haul while she was still in the parking garage of the store And I like Elles' videos where she films at night and just randomly gives us a tour or rambles over her coffee. Yes, she goes on about coffe but she named her blog "I Heart You Coffee". She has a rep to uphold
Re: Birchbox vs. Ipsy with Juicystar07!
so basically they didn't like anything in their birchbox and made no effort to hide their disappointment or disapproval with the entire thing.

Re: Birchbox vs. Ipsy with Juicystar07!
I agree that Elle's nose look like crap. She should just leave it alone. The contouring makes it look so fake.
I've noticed before but haven't in awhile, Blair has an aged neck. Makes her look so much older. Elle doesn't at all. Does Blair forget to moisturize that area?

Re: Birchbox vs. Ipsy with Juicystar07!
I thought it was kind of rude of them to act like that. Even if acting happy and grateful would be fake, they didn't have to act so rude. I definitely agree that they didn't like anything they got. They were really bratty about the whole thing.xyz wrote:that's how you know it wasn't sponsored..blair looked so disappointed uninterested that she didn't even want to do the vid. She looks like she was forced to sit there and talk. I don't think they were too fond of the ipsy either bc they made a big deal about blair never getting hers and just glazed over the products in that box too.byebyebye1 wrote:so basically they didn't like anything in their birchbox and made no effort to hide their disappointment or disapproval with the entire thing.

Re: Birchbox vs. Ipsy with Juicystar07!
I feel like they were either making fun of MP or were hinting that they'd been left out. I don't think they were sponsored like a lot of other gurus who get these boxes sent for free (ahem, Tracy & Steph of 11thGorgeous) and they sounded bitchy, spoiled and slightly bitter.
They're obsolete, it's their own fault. Besides, reviewing monthly boxes is so overdone now. Everyone does box reviews and there are far better boxes than Birchbox & IPSY. Also, whatever happened to Elles' Beauty Army box reviews? She never ever mentions them.

Re: Birchbox vs. Ipsy with Juicystar07!
She unsubbed from Beauty Army after a few months and subbed to birchbox instead. She was trying out a bunch of different boxes for awhile.baconpancakes wrote:I feel like they were either making fun of MP or were hinting that they'd been left out.

Re: Birchbox vs. Ipsy with Juicystar07!
I watched the first 20 seconds , that's all I could do! Blair is so annoying, I just can't. Elle's hair looks much better than the drab brown for sure. Why are they talking about Birchbox/Ipsy?! I just feel like they are behind the times, the box craze has definitely died down.

Re: Birchbox vs. Ipsy with Juicystar07!
I almost wonder if they're trying to develop or rather slap their names on their own beauty boxes and this is just a motive to trash talk other beauty boxes to make them not seem as good. Could be far fetched but there is NOTHING that doesn't involve sponsors or money with the Fowlers so I hardly believe they just up and wanted to review these boxes.

Re: Birchbox vs. Ipsy with Juicystar07!
Seriously, they are about two years too late on the subscription box bandwagon.
imma ball til the day i fall
Re: Birchbox vs. Ipsy with Juicystar07!
I know, 99% of beauty gurus have hopped on and off that bandwagon over a year ago. I predict in another 2 years, they'll start showcasing Michael Todd products.Angie V wrote:Seriously, they are about two years too late on the subscription box bandwagon.

Re: Birchbox vs. Ipsy with Juicystar07!
To be perfectly honest I actually liked the video! I agree that the whole monthly box/product subscription is kind of old (I stopped subscribing to Birchbox 2 years ago, getting so many samples of products I would never actually use was a waste.) But it seemed really genuine and cute! Elle looks so much better with the light blonde than with the color that it was dyed before (although I may be a little biased being a fellow blonde myself,) but did anyone notice her face looked really different... Idk. Her cheekbones seemed higher or her face looked thinner. It may have just been the way she contoured that day but I really liked it!

Re: Birchbox vs. Ipsy with Juicystar07!
Yeah the whole allergy thing made me roll my eyes.
Some products irritate my skin too/break me out... but I guess "allergy" makes you more special than "irritation".
I didn't hate this video, Blair was pretty annyoing..I really think she and Elle are better separately, their personalities clash as opposed to compliment each other...just makes it awkward, like in the new "Studio Fowler" ..I think think the 11th Gorgeous girls are annoying, but their personalities compliment each other and they do seem like friends.
