Birchbox or ipsy? Or other?

Hey ladies! I'm posting a little question/opinion type thing today because I just recently subscribed to Birchbox and ipsy because I'm looking to have a monthly subscription service and since these are ten dollars a month I thought these would be perfect to try. However I've heard bad and good things about each of these services and wanted to know your opinions. I'm thinking that whichever one I like better for the first month, I'll keep that one and cancel the other. What I love is that you can always go back and re-subscribe. No big deal! So who loves these or hates these? Share any and all experiences, favorite products, etc. I heard Birchbox sent out beauty blenders once? SO jealous, wish I had subscribed then!!
