Ipsy or birchbox or other as gift?

My niece is almost 18, last year I got julep for her which she was obsessed with.
I'm thinking one of these this year or is there something better I don't know about?
I read a lot of reviews that say birchbox sends tiny foil packets, she will hate that.
If you receive these please let me know what you think!
Thanks!

I got my coworker both as gifts over the years.

She always shows me what she gets - IMO, Ipsy sends better stuff, tweaks it to her particular taste and larger sizes.

I love Ipsy. Never did birchbox, so I can't comment on that

Another option is Boxycharm - same idea, monthly makeup subscription service. They send 5 items, and typically at the very least 4 of the 5 are full size.

Of all the subscription boxes...I prefer Boxycharm myself. I just found that I actually USED and wanted to repurchase the items I got from that one.

I'm an ipsy fan, some months are better than others but overall I have gotten some really nice things. It's so fun to see the big pink envelope each month! I try not to go online to see what's coming :) I'm such a dork

I like the Fab Fit Fun box, it's a little more expensive and only comes 4 times a year, but they give you full size products and it's not just makeup and hair stuff. I used to have Birchbox but gave it up. Half the stuff I got I never used, so I have all these sample size stuff taking up space.
