I guess they stopped putting in the green paper. A lot of boxes have been cutting back on extras on the boxing supplies.

The Art Of Caramel in Vanilla Bean Cocoa Nib and Bananas Foster with Dark Rum $4 each

I hate popcorn, so I hate receiving it in subscription boxes. But I absolutely love this popcorn! I might be officially in love with this popcorn. I never thought I would love popcorn at all. This popcorn is absolutely delicious, its sweet but not too sweet – you actually forget that you are eating popcorn because it really taste like you are eating bananas foster and vanilla bean. If you hate popcorn you need to try this popcorn it will definitely change your mind! You can find a store here, unfortunately there is nothing on Long Island!

NutWhats Peanut Butter Crunch and Almond $4 each

I not a big fan of nuts or peanut butter to begin with I’m definitely not a fan of these. This is something my grandma would eat, its all nuts and no sweets. One thing that I actually do like it that I can read all of the ingredients and that there are only 6 ingredients! I definitely have to give them a high praise for that, a lot of companies don’t do that. But if you are not a fan nuts or peanut butter i don’t recommend this snack.

Salem Baking CO. Meyer Lemon Moravian Cookie $5

I absolutely adore the packaging. These cookies are super super thin. They are jammed packed with lemon this would be a nice cookie to pair with tea, it would compliment it very nicely with its whole hearted lemon flavor.

I payed $20 and received $21, I’m not too thrilled with the curation this month. I wish they had a box that was devoted to just chocolate. What did you think of this months box?

Spongelle Boxed Flowers Body Wash Infused Buffer in Papaya Yuzu $16

I love the idea of this product but I’m not too fond of the scent. Its a nice scent but its very strong and lately I’ve been very sensitive to scent and been getting terrible migraines. I like that you can poke it and its kind of like memory foam. Also you only get 14 washes with this, and while the idea is cool and all you can buy 3 full body wash bottles for the price of one of these and be good for a year. But still the idea is still pretty cool and if you still want to try it out you can find this on eBay.

Pacifica Enlighten Eye Brightening $14

I’m a fan of their lipsticks but I have never tried their eyeshadow before. These eyeshadows are infused with coconut to give it a  velvety cream like finish. It also gets 5 Stars across the board on their website as well, everyone raves how its creaseless and by far the best eyeshadow for blending. You can find this on eBay!

image7

Quay Australia Mandate Sunglasses $45

This reminds me of the sunglasses that we just got from the Rachel Zoe box! These are matte black and very simple to style along with any outfit all year long! You can find these on eBay for way less!

 image3

Sweet & Spark $30 Gift Card

Sweet and Sparks inventory is very limited. They only have one of everything on their website. So if you like it you have to buy it fast because it could be gone the next day! You can find the gift card on eBay!

Snap Infusion Super Candy $4

I only tried the red one so far and that one was really good. It was great for on the go. They are infused with b vitamins, antioxidants and electrolytes. I think I will be taking the sours to work tonight!

image5

Yogitoes Peacock Headband $4

I love everything tie-dye, so instantly not even knowing what this was, I decided I loved it. Now knowing its a headband I love it even more but confused on how to wear it, its a very big headband and it looks kind of stupid on me. But I’m hopeful that I will find a way to make it work! You can find yours here on eBay!

image4

Judy Blume In The Unlikely Event $28

Its just my luck, I just finished the One & Only that we also received in Popsugar and just bought two new Nicholas Sparks books the day before. But I’m always excited to get new books and luckily I didn’t start the other books yet and I will read this one first! One of my favorite things about this book already, without even reading it is that the pages of this book is textured and gives me the feeling like its an old book or diary! I just love that! You can find this on eBay for less!

image8

I payed $40 and received $111.00, (not including the gift card) $4 less than last month. I really liked this box but then realized I am not really going to use all of it, so it was just ok. What did you think of this months box? Click here to sign up to get your next box!

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. This is a Special edition box which was here for limited time! It is the summer 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.

I love how everything is individually wrapped. I wish they would do that every month!

image2

Omorovicza Gold Shimmer Oil $80

I have been liking oils a lot lately, they moisturize your skin but absorb easily so they don’t leave your skin feeling dirty and like you have to wash it. I really like this one because its extremely lightweight and absorbed in seconds. It has a light amber scent to it that I’m indifferent about currently. I like the gold shimmer effect to it. Usually I wouldn’t pick up something with sparkles but its not even overwhelming. You can find this on eBay.

image4

Savannah Bee Honey for Cheese $7.50

This is a cute little set. Unfortunately though my wand came chipped. Normally I would contact Popsugar, They are amazing at replacing items that arrived broken or missing all together, but I know I probably won’t even end up using it so I’m not going to bother them this time. We have been receiving some interesting food items lately. Just not the kind of usual snacks that you would normally receive from them.

image3

BAGGU Weekend Bag $74

This is by far my favorite item in the box! I love the material, I love the sailing feel it has to it. I love how big it is. And its great because I’m always away for a weekend or going on vacation. This is the perfect bag for the summer and switch off with my black weekend bag in the winter! I absolutely recommend this bag! Pick it up on eBay!

image7

Kendra Scott Ainsley Cuff Bracelet $120

I’m so incredibly happy to see Kendra Scott in another Popsugar box! I love her stuff and hope to see more of her stuff in here! This bracelet is absolutely stunning and its 14K gold plated! Pick up yours on eBay!

image6

Fringe Studio Glass Tray Love Anchors The Soul $14

Love the saying! You can definitely tell there is a nautical theme going on with the summer box this year! You can find this for way less on eBay!

image5

SunnyLife Bronte Beach Paddles $26

I love that they included an item like this in the box! We have never seen anything like this in a pop sugar box before and its a great idea! Super cute and great to bring to the beach! You can find this on eBay!

image8

So I payed $100 for this box and received $321 worth of really awesome beauty, fashion, food, and home products, that I can not wait to use. What did you think of this limited edition box? What product did you like the most and what do you think they should have included in this box instead of other products?

Bequet Caramel Assortment $8.50

This assortment comes with cinnamon swirl, salted butterscotch, and chocolate! They are made in Montreal. I feel like we are always getting caramels in our boxes. These are delicious but I feel like caramels are caramels. Nothing show-stopping about these.

IMG_2782

Keenas Kake Designs Fudgeez Chocolate Brownie $4.50

Honestly They look a lot better on the website. The brownie has a hard exterior but the inside is some what moist and chewy. I think if I put this in the toaster oven for a bit then it would taste amazing and just made. But as is, I wouldn’t recommend it.

IMG_2781

Hard Crack Cookies $4

I received four variations of the toffee cookies – Orginal, Chocolate Chip, and Mocha. They are very thin and crunchy and have a shortbread texture to them. I thought my favorite would have been the mocha but I’m actually more of a fan of the original. The mocha had some coffee beans going on and I just wasn’t feeling it.

IMG_2780

I payed $20 and received $17, This is the lowest amount I have ever received in a treatise box. And I’m not even too thrilled with the curation this month. I wish they had a box that was devoted to just chocolate. What did you think of this months box?

BeautyDNA Subscription Box – Review – May 2015

BeautyDNA is a subscription box company that they only send you FULL SIZE products, which I love because I hate paying for sample sizes, samples should be free. The really cool thing about this site is that they match you to your perfect beauty products as you would on a dating site. You fill out a survey about what you want in terms of hair, face, and body products and list what you need help with and what scents you like and don’t like. They send you one to two full sized items for only $25 a month. How awesome is that!?

IMG_2761

I’m such a huge fan of BeautyDNAs packaging!

IMG_2762

Briogeo Blossom & Bloom Volumizing Conditioner $23

I’ve never heard of this brand before but they are sold at Sephora and gets four stars. I also really like the smell – Its very floral and fruity. I was paired to this conditioner because I said I have fine hair with lack of volume. This conditioner also contains aloe vera and rose which I said I preferred in my products.

IMG_2763

Briogeo Blossom & Bloom Volumizer Spray $20

I’m not a huge fan of sprays for my hair they make me feel like my hair is coated and makes me feel like its super dirty. I really appreciate though how I got the a product from the same exact brand with the same qualities. It would have been even better if it were just a shampoo and conditioner set, instead of the spray.

IMG_2764

I payed $25 and got a product worth $43, I’m content with the amount of the box! I’m not really excited about either of these products and probably won’t end up using any of these! What did you think of this months BeautyDNA box?

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!

Anna Sui Lipstick $30

I absolutely love everything about this lipstick! Its just so perfect! I love the packaging of the box, the lipstick casing and the lipstick itself! Its super cute and i got the perfect color for my coloring! I love a nude/little color on my lips, so it works very nicely. You can also find these on eBay, thats exactly where I’m headed to to pick up more once I’m done with this one!

image5

Milly Trio Nail Polish $36

These three colors are classic. So i’m not surprised a brand like Milly would include such versatile nail polish. I like the packaging of the nail polish it reminds me of Chanel nail polish. You can find this set on eBay.

image4

Maivet Poison Dart Stud Earrings $295

First off the price they listed this as in the book was $395 – when really its $295. Also the price they want for these earrings are ridiculous. These are super tiny earrings and they are only gold plated! not solid gold! I’m definitely passing these along. You can find these on eBay for way less!

image3

Apolis + Clare V. Market Bag $68

Popsugar recommends this bag to be used as an errand bag or for farmers markets. I don’t see how anyone would or want to lug this giant bag around. I don’t know if you can tell by the picture but this bag is pretty big. This is a bag that i would probably store fire wood in. You can find this on eBay.

image8

Marc By Marc Jacobs Bangle $80

I love the silver and rose gold contrast on this bangle. And I love that pop sugar included such a well known brand in this box. I was expecting more items like this to be included, rather than the bag. You can find this on eBay as well!

image7

The Woman I Wanted to Be by DVF $26

I wasn’t expecting to receive a book in this box but I’m a huge fan of DVF as a fashion designer and as a person. Ever since her reality show I feel like we got to know DVF better and how she is probably the sweetest fashion designer. I’m very excited to read this book in the summer! You can find this on eBay.

image6

So I payed $195 for this box and received $535 worth of beauty, fashion, and home products, that I’m pretty sure they promised the price would be over $600. I’m pretty upset with this box, I feel like it had so much potential and it just did not meet my expectation. What did you think of this limited edition box? What product did you like the most and what do you think they should have included in this box instead of other products?
