Treatsie Sweets Subscription – Review – December 2014

Treatsie Sweets Subscription Box only $15 / month + $4.95 Shipping & Handling. Each box includes amazing artisan sweets from 3 – 4 small, independent vendors, which change every month, and has a retail value of $20 – $25 before shipping. This is a monthly subscription and you can cancel anytime.

image1

Serendipity Confections $5?

These caramels are absolutely delicious. They are huge too! I was only going to taste one but I ended up eating the whole thing! It has a spiciness to it, but its perfect and delicious. I’m just upset that this does not have an online shop! You can only get it from there store in the city!

image5

Grey Ghost Cranberry Orange Cookies $1

I’m not a huge fan of cranberry or orange – definitely not in cookies – So I will be passing this along to some one who is more adventurous. I like how the cookies are still soft, you can squeeze them through the bag and they expand. Which is great! I personally hate hard cookies!

image3

New Fangled Confections Frittle $5

This is peanut brittle, Due to my siblings allergies I can no longer have peanut butter in the house! I will be passing this along to my boyfriend who loves peanut butter! I’m not a fan of peanut butter but it does look so tasty and appetizing, which is honestly weird for me to say!

image4

Ticket Peppermint Hot Chocolate on a Stick $5.50

Save the best for last! This was my favorite item in the box – probably because it was the only chocolate item – I’ve received these hot chocolate sticks before and they haven’t worked for me, I have to be doing something wrong the chocolate melts off the stick but still nothing happens! My end result is never Hot Chocolate! But I’m excited to try this again! This was also hand crafted in san fran! I feel like the best chocolate stuff has been coming from San Francisco lately!

image6

So this wasn’t my favorite box. It felt like stuff was missing. I payed $20 and received $16.50… yeah, I feel so robbed by this box, Which is really disappointing for me since this is one of my favorite boxes. I will give them one more chance for them to get their act back together before I dump them! What did you think of this months box?

Popsugar Must Have – HOLIDAY – Limited Edition – Her – December 2014

Popsugar Must Have Box is a subscription box that is designed to give you the ‘Must Haves’ of the month. The Must Haves in beauty, fitness, food, fashion, and home. Popsugar Must Have Box is $39.95 monthly, $109.85 for 3 months, $214.70 for 6 months, or $429.50 for a yearly subscription. BUT, this is a Special edition box which was here for limited time! It is the HOLIDAY BOX which sends you LUXURY items and because it sends you luxury items the price is also higher than the traditional monthly box. The price to indulge in these luxury goodies is $100.

This is the holiday box for her!

image1

I love how everything is individually wrapped!

image2

Habit Nail Polish in Nefertiti $18

This nail polish is five free just like Julep. Its a light brown color with micro gold glitter. You can find this on eBay for way less!

image3

Illume Gilded Amberleaf Candle $23

I love everything about this candle! I love the design! I love the scent! Its like a musky vanilla but so much more appealing than that! They have similar candles like this on eBay!

image8

Turkish T Diamond Throw $65

I know a lot of people were happy with this blanket, but I was not. I do love the design but this blanket is so thin it wouldn’t keep me warm one bit and I’m always cold! You can find it on eBay for less!

image6

Droga Money on Honey Caramels $8

I have never tasted anything better in my life. I was not expecting much from these, well I was expecting there to be more than 4 extremely thin little caramels. The box is very deceiving making you feel like you are getting more than you actually are. But I need a pantry full of these! I never wanted something more than I did right in this moment when I ate the last one!

image7

Loffler Randall Envelope Clutch $70

I was so excited to see a bag that was actually a neutral color and by a brand that you see in Bloomingdales! I was surprised by the price of the bag and that it was not listed for more! This bag is gorgeous and is textured. If you missed out on this darling bag, you can find it on eBay!

image4

Kate Somerville Exfolikate Intensive Exfoliating Treatment $22

I have been in love and obsessed with this brand and this particular product ever since I got the worlds smallest sample of it at sephora. My sister and I tried it one night and it worked so well we looked pore less. It gave off this amazing tingle on your face and it smells like christmas to me. It will forever be a staple in my beauty regime. You can find yours on eBay!

image5

RMS Beauty Luminizer and Brush $50 Total

I wasn’t too thrilled with this item. I thought it was a jewelry piece since it came in a jewelry box. Thats why my picture is so bad, I was upset. This is highlighter with a nifty brush. You can find this on eBay.

image9

I spent $100 and received $256 I feel like the price is just so much lower than last year. Not that I didn’t like the box this year. I will use almost everything. I just expected higher ticketed items. I feel like they have been lacking in that department lately. What did you think of this years holiday box?

Popsugar Must Have – HOLIDAY – Limited Edition – His – December 2014

Popsugar Must Have Box is a subscription box that is designed to give you the ‘Must Haves’ of the month. The Must Haves in beauty, fitness, food, fashion, and home. Popsugar Must Have Box is $39.95 monthly, $109.85 for 3 months, $214.70 for 6 months, or $429.50 for a yearly subscription. BUT, this is a Special edition box which was here for limited time! It is the HOLIDAY BOX which sends you LUXURY items and because it sends you luxury items the price is also higher than the traditional monthly box. The price to indulge in these luxury goodies is $100.

This is the Holiday Box for HIM

image1

I LOVE how everything is individually wrapped to give it that extra feeling of surprise! image3

Richer Poorer The Long Weekend Socks $32

I always love getting socks from subscription boxes, especially when they have great prints like these do! I haven’t decided if I’m going to be making this a stocking stuffer for my dad or for my boyfriend, since I already have another gift set of socks for my boyfriend. My family really likes socks, thats not weird right?

image10

Urbanears Headphones $30

This is really not for anyone in my life right now, man or woman. So I’m not sure what I’m doing with this item yet. These headphones can connect to each other, have three different sizes of buds to fit your best comfort and also have a remote control, which I think is a lot for such a low price point! You can find them on eBay for way less too!

image9

Dakota Grizzly Beanie $45

This hat is 100% acrylic but it feels really soft and well made, I’m nervous to see how my boyfriend responds to the logo though. He could really love the bear or absolutely hate it and not wear it at all. I paired this item up with a Jcrew fleece vest I just bought him, I thought they would like nice together! When I first saw the spoiler for this I was like I’m going to have to give this away, but when I saw it I’m person I really like the quality of the hat. This is also on eBay for that guy in your life!

image6

Ursa Major Travel Sizes Shave Kit $22

I’m so happy I got this in my box! My brother has been obsessing over old fashioned razors and those brushes for after you shave, I got him both and I’ve been looking for a little kit like this to accompany the other too! This couldn’t of come in better time! This brand gets excellent reviews too!

image8

Wurkin Stiffs Magnetic Collar Stay $40

I was beyond happy to see this in the box! This is an actual item that my boyfriend has been in love and obsessing over for a while so I’m so beyond happy to be able to put these in this stocking this year! If you know someone who will love these just as much as my boyfriend get them on eBay!

image5

Jefferson Desk Tray $75

I really don’t understand the purpose of this item! The leather smells great though! But I think I will be passing this along to someone else.

image7

TCHO Mokaccino $6

I’m keeping this chocolate for myself! I love chocolate and coffee so obviously I loved this item! I love the bitterness of the dark chocolate and the espresso beans.

image4

I payed $100 and received $250, I feel like this is really on the low side of the investment. So, I will be using almost everything in this box, I wouldn’t say it was my best investment in a subscription box, but  some of the items will make really great presents. You can still buy this box!

Popsugar Must Have – Review – December 2014

I have to say that Popsugar Must Have Box is my favorite subscription box. The boxes are designed to give you the ‘Must Haves’ of the month. The Must Haves in beauty, fashion, fitness, food, and home. Popsugar Must Have Box is $39.95 monthly, $109.85 for 3 months, $214.70 for 6 months, or $429.50 for a yearly subscription.

Sparklepop Sydney Pendant Necklace $42

I really like this necklace, its 37″ long and is 18k gold plated!It reminds me of a Swarovski necklace. If you missed out on this necklace you can find this on eBay for so much less!

image6

Subtle Luxury Speckled Metallic Scarf $62

I really like this scarf, and I know I should probably hate scarves by now, but I feel like I can never get enough of them! This one is so soft and pairs perfectly with the necklace! You can find one on eBay for a lot less.

image4

William Sonoma Cupcake Mix $15

This mix only makes one dozen cupcakes and is made with organic flour! I’ve never been to william sonoma so I’m excited to try this and see what all the fuss is about! If you wanted to try it with me you can find this on eBay!

image3

Smashbox Be Legendary Long Wear In Bordeaux $24

I love this brand and this color so this lipgloss was a huge win for me. Its a lipgloss and a lip stain, I’ve been wanting to try a color like this for a while so I’m very excited! You can find one for less on eBay!

 image5

Knot and Bow True Blue Parcel Gift Tags $4

I’m happy to see an item for gift wrapping in the holiday season but I’m not in love with the item. Its very boring and simple, I guess its good because you can really use it all year long because it does not have any pattern or specific color scheme.

image7

Dauville Bowls in Platinum $29

The outside is ceramic and the inside of the bowl is platinum. I love this bowl because it is so chic and clean looking. I just don’t know what to do with it. I have so many of these little bowls around my room. I don’t want it to go to waste. I need to think of a creative way to use it! Any ideas?  If you missed out and want one, find them on eBay!

image8

I Payed $40 and received $176 worth of really chic items! I really enjoyed the December box, I believe that I am actually keeping all of the items this month! I’m thrilled! What did you think of this months box?! Remember to sign up for next months box here if you’re not already!

Nina Garcia Quarterly Co. Subscription Box – Winter – Review – November 2014

Nina Garcia is a Creative Director at Marie Claire Magazine. She recently started curating boxes at quarterly.co, this is her Fourth box. They come four times a year; winter, spring,summer, and fall, is how I like to organize them. These Nina Garcia boxes go for $100 a quarter.

NOTE: The last box I received was in July. Nina skipped the fall box because she was too busy with her life to uphold a promise of a subscription box for all of her subscribers who pay $100 every quarter.

image 2

I was truly shocked that there was no apology letter to go along with the skipping of the fall box and how they basically left all of the subscribers in the dark.

image 6

Whitebread Wilkinson Pantone Universe Mug $19

I think I missed something here, because everyone seems to be OBSESSED with these mugs but I feel like they are apart of something that I just totally missed out on. I don’t understand why everyone is head over heels for these mugs. But if you really like the design of these check out eBay!

image 9

RGB Nail Polish in Deep $18

I like this color but I feel like I already have a 100 of them! I think I will keep mine though, because I’m such a sucker for new nail polish! These polishes are 5 free and are also made in the USA! If you want some RGB nail polish for less check out eBay!

image 8

NUDE ProGenius Treatment Oil $39

I’ve tried face oil before and it makes my face feel way too oily. So I will be passing this along to somebody who can actually use it. It has great reviews on Sephora! Find this on eBay for less!

image 5

Ballin Paris beanie $40

I like this hat actually, I think its made really nicely and its cozy. I gave it to my sister because she’s been wanting a hat like this, so it was perfect timing! You can find this on eBay for less!

image 3

Deux Lux Joplin Bag $75

Everyone seems to be so happy about this bag. I think its the ugliest cheapest looking bag. I don’t know who thought it would be a good idea to add this to the box. You can find this on eBay.

image

The Laundress New York Sweater Comb $18

I think this was such a great idea! 90% of my wardrobe is sweaters and they always end up looking so ratty by the end of the season so I’m glad they included this so I can keep my sweaters looking fresh!

image 4

Rue Gembon Earrings $65

This is my favorite item in the whole box. (the link isn’t exact to the earrings I have) I’m so excited to have these! I’ve been wanting a pair like this for a while now! You can find a pair on eBay for way less!

image 7

This box was very disappointing for me! I payed (wasted) $100 and received $274 worth of stuff that I really won’t use or too cheap of quality. I’m so upset that I’ve gotten $200 less than I gotten last quarter! Hopefully the next box will be redeeming! Sign up here!

French Box – Subscription Box – Review – November 2014

French Box is a new subscription that just started in september! With French Box you will receive 5 items each month: fashion, cosmetics, gourmet, goodies,etc. French Box is normally $24 a month but with the coupon code: FIRSTBOX you can get it for $14 + free shipping!

image 2

French box gets an A+ on packaging. Everything is so beautiful and made so well, you could keep these boxes if you wanted to!

image 9

This months theme was ” Paris I Love You”

image 8

Segafredo Cafe de Paris  $6

I can not find this anywhere online! Its supposed to be rich in flavor but not that intense with the caffeine! Which I like because I sometimes get bad reactions to caffeine if its too strong! I think this will make a nice stocking stuffer for my mom!

image

Missiu Eiffel Tower Bracelet $12

This is a crocheted bracelet with eiffel towers on it. When I was in Italy last week, my cousin was wearing this bracelet. I also saw a bunch of other people wearing them while I was there, I guess its a big thing in Europe right now! You can find this on eBay!

image 4

Pier Augé Radiant Mask $43.50

This is full size! This mask helps protect against signs of aging stress and pollution. You can find this on eBay for WAY less.

image 5

Guerlain Foundation Sample $1?

The reviews on sephora are mixed, some people say that its too sticky and flakey on their skin and other say that its perfect and it looks natural. If you would like to try more than just a sample size check out eBay to find this for less!

image 6

Leonard $1?

I HATE samples and testers in subscription boxes! I paid for something so don’t give me little samples that I can get for free at sephora! BUT, I actually love this fragrance! Full size it is only $25 and it literally smells like a $100 perfume. It is so beautiful and light and floral and fruity! I absolutely adore this fragrance! I just might have to get the full sized bottle!

image 7

LIDO Charm $12

I have no idea what this is, I don’t know why they gave this to us, and honestly I’m really upset. What about this is french at all? I do not have an inkling what to do with this!

image 3

So I payed $20 and received $75. This box was 100% disappointing! I’m so upset but I am giving them ONE more chance to redeem themselves! Things better improve or I’m not wasting my time or money with The French Box.
