*NOTE: I had a terrible problem with this company while getting this box, I ordered one for a newborn boy back in june and still have not received it, meanwhile I bought this one for a 2 year old girl in the beginning of july and received it this week. Not to mention how I have emailed them multiple times on different occasions and never got a response from them. I ended up having to call them after two weeks of no response and they were so unhelpful. I think I will for sure be canceling.*

This box is usually $29 a month but with the coupon at the time I got this box for only $7 . I received $59.87 of some truly adorable little girl items, that I can not wait to show to my cousin! What did you think of this months citrus lane box?

Popsugar Must Have Review – Special Edition – Summer Box – June 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. Check out my review for the traditional style box hereBUT, 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.

For some reason the limited edition boxes always arrive in a plain brown box, not like their normal white and pink box that they use for their monthly subscription.

Inside the box was another box.This is the box that they use for every limited edition box. Sleek, chic, and a very well made box. I like to keep these boxes and use them for storage. (Mostly for hiding birthday/christmas presents).

IMG_1286

Box opened: Still black&white and very classy.

IMG_1287

Once more. Now greeted with the Must Have Summer Booklet, explaining what every item is and why they picked them for this box. every item in the luxury boxes are wrapped individually, unlike the normal monthly subscription boxes. I prefer that to be honest, I like having the thrill of the surprise.

IMG_1288

So the first item I pulled out was this Horn Necklace by Soixante Nuf Jewels by Joie Jager $155.  Its a nice necklace, I still have not yet decided if I like it enough to keep it or not though. I am very happy that I did luck out and get the turquoise. If you missed out on this item and want it I’m sure you can find it on ebay.com for a much more reasonable price than the website.

IMG_1289

Ocean Mist by Sachajuan $28 This is a mist for your hair that is supposed to leave your hair looking like you spent the day at the beach. It has 4 stars on amazon, customers are saying that it works very well but that the smell is very strong.  Personally I don’t think that it smells bad, it’s actually pretty fruity. You can even get it on ebay for less than the amazon price!

IMG_1290

Tarte Cheek Stain $30 and Lipsurgence Power Pigment $24 I’m actually so happy that this was a part of the box. I’ve literally been eyeing both of these products for the longest time. I don’t know why I never bought them, I guess the idea of a cheek stain was too advanced for me, or maybe just the word ‘stain’ freaked me out. I received both the cheek stain and lip pencil in the color Tipsy which is a beautiful pinky peach color. They both have 4 stars on sephora and everyone says that they are very long lasting and creamy! Always check eBay for the best prices!

IMG_1291

Blue Tropics Pouch by Samudra $60  This is a Popsugar Exclusive, but apparently you can still buy it on their website. Its just a little canvas bag they claim that it is good for iPads. Personally, I’m not really impressed. I’d prefer to not have items that were made specifically for popsugar, but thats just me. If you disagree, and must have this bag, do yourself a favor and go to eBay!

IMG_1293

Eliunt Extra Virgin Olive Oil from The Ingredient Finder  $15 These olive oils are from different countries all around the globe. The one I received is from Australia! I’ve never been there so I can’t wait to see what their olive oil taste like! My sister has been dying to go to Australia for years now and she is basically allergic to everything, but she can actually have this! So it will be nice to share this with her. If you want to try this flavor or a different flavor for less than the website, check out eBay.

IMG_1292

City Rocks Glasses from Sisters of Los Angeles $45 These were made exclusively for Popsugar, and have the Popsugar logo on the bottom of the glasses. They are San Francisco, New York, Los Angeles, and London. I feel like London is a little misplaced though, since it seemed to be like U.S. cities and then one European city. …You know the drill… eBay.

IMG_1294

So I payed $100 for this box and received $357 worth of really awesome beauty, fashion, food, and home products, that I can not wait to use . If you missed out on this box and want ALL of the stuff in this box you can go to ebay and some people are selling their whole box for $99! 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?

BeautyDNA Subscription Box Review – May 2014

BeautyDNA is a fairly new subscription box company. They Only send you FULL SIZE products, which I love because I 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! They have only been around for 3 months now. And I am LOVING them.

Their boxes are the cutest!

IMG_1152

They totally win best box appearance.

IMG_1153

Unveiled!

IMG_1154

These are the first things you see when you open your box. They tell you about your product and why they sent it you. and they highlight everything that matches to your profile!

IMG_1155

This month my main product I was matched to was Revitalash Volumizing Primer $24.00 It has four stars on nordstrom and mixed reviews. I’m not thrilled and unsure if I will even keep this item.

IMG_1156

My second item was COOLA Liplux SPF 15 Peppermint Vanilla $12.00  At first I was pretty upset about this item because I think the first product was such a disappointment for me that a stick of chapstick didn’t really help. But it did come at a good time right before summer, and I’m going to Florida in a few weeks so I cheered myself up because I always need SPF in my chapstick (ever since my lips actually got sunburned in Hawaii I also buy chapstick with SPF in it!) BUT with my good luck, I opened mine and it was empty!! I will contact Beautydna and see how they handle the situation.

IMG_1157

So I payed $25 for this box and got $36 worth of full sized beauty items! I prefer to pay $25 for 2 full sized items instead of 10 little sample packets. I honestly think this was a bad month for me, What do you think? What did you get this month? Or will you sign up for this box?

UPDATE: They got back to me within a few hours and sent a shipment out the next day to replace my broken item! Really awesome customer service!

The Day I Said “YES!”

Exactly one year ago today, Kevin got down on one knee and asked me to marry him! Of course I said “YES!”

Kevin and I are high school sweethearts, which means we have been through everything together. Over the past seven and a half years we have grown so much since we started out when we were only 17 years old.
