Pehr Designs Pebble Speck Bin $40

I really love this bin. I could always use more storage. I currently have this in my closet holding all of my tights. Its a great size and could hold a lot more.

Project 7 Sugar Free Gum $2

I dont understand why they would put this in the January box. This is an item I would expect in a summer box. If anything they should included the peppermint vanilla gum. I have been very unhappy lately with their food items they have been so lame lately.

Spark Joy: An Illustrated Master Class To The Art Of Decluttering and Organizing By Marie Kondo $19

I love receiving books from subscription boxes but this is not what I had in mind. This is not a book that I would want to read in my spare time and have no interest in it. It is available on eBay.

Blue Sky Day Designer Weekly Planner $16

I’m so conflicted on whether I should hold on to this planner or not. I’m a very organized person but we keep a calendar on our fridge. I’m not sure if I really need this little planner. You can find yours on eBay.

Et Al Designs Dot Candles $24

I never had candles sticks before, but I think these are super cute but I’m not sure if I have much need for them. I like that pop sugar included a different kind of candle but I would have preferred a regular candle. You can find them on eBay.

image9

Nima Oberoi Lunares Orb Candlestick Holders $69

I like that they included the candlestick holders to go with the candle sticks because I didn’t have either of these things before I got this box. Im not really sure what I’m going to do with them thought because my boyfriend and I aren’t really candlestick people – at this time in our young lives. But you can find these holders on eBay.

image8

White + Warren Luxe Knotted Headband $88

I have lusting over headbands like these for a few years. I don’t know why I didn’t just buy one but I’m happy I have one now and I will definitely be wearing this. The color is perfect and matches everything. Its super soft and warm and looks adorable. You can find yours on eBay for less.

image6

image5

Prtty Peaushun Skin Tight Body Lotion $40

This lotion is pretty cool it conceals minor imperfections and creates a slimmer silhouette. This is the clear one but apparently they have tinted ones that give you a nice glow and hide cellulite better. You can find this on eBay for less.

image7

Elizabeth Cole Adelia Cuff $167.50

I actually really like this bracelet its a pretty green-gray color that I feel goes with everything. Its the perfect holiday bracelet as well. You can find one on eBay for way less.

image4

Estée Lauder Modern Muse Le Rouge Eau De Parfum

I really could have done with out a perfume sample. Especially in the holiday luxe box. This item seems so out of place, I was so disappointed. This is their newest fragrance so I guess thats probably why they added it to the box…but still, I’m not a fan of samples.

image3

I spent $100 and received $423 of great stuff this year. I really don’t like how they didn’t  send out a food item this year. I love discovering high quality food items. What did you think of this years holiday box?

 Ciaté London Nail Polish in Celestial $15

I love getting nail polish in subscription boxes and I do love Ciaté nail polish but this is just not the kind of nail polish that I would want to get from a subscription box though.

Honest Beauty Refreshingly Clean Makeup Remover Wipes $10

I’ve never been that person who was a huge fan of the honest company nor have I been a fan of makeup remover wipes. I mostly use these wipes for traveling. I do however like that it has 30 sheets in here, its very compressed. I also like how they are perfect for people with sensitive skin.

Mela Artisans Fantasy in Grey Decorative Tray $130

I am so absolutely in love with this tray, I love the design of it and the colors. Its made stunningly well, its very heavy and such a statement piece to have in your house. I see it on a coffee table with a candle and some fresh cut flowers. *(insert heart eye emojis)*, ugh obsessed. You can find this on eBay if you’re just as in love as I am.

Kevyn Aucion The Look Book $45

I do not know why but I’m never excited when I see a palette in a subscription box. I think it was a good idea to add a palette to update holiday makeup look but its just not something I will be using. You can find this on eBay.

Super by Retrosuperfuture Classic Black $189

West Emory Bingo Set $20

This Bingo game set was made exclusively for J.crew. It is currently sold out. I understand why it was included in the November box, it would be a nice game to play with the family after Thanksgiving dinner. But honestly not my favorite thing that was included in the box. You can find this on eBay.

Deepa Gurnani Headband $56

I absolutely love this headband. This is by far my favorite item in the box this month. I wore this headband on Thanksgiving day. Its perfect and adds glam to any outfit. You can find yours on eBay.

Gramr Gratitude Thanksgiving Postcard Bundle $10

I don’t know why but I love getting stationary in boxes. I rarely use them but I do love having a collection of them and having an assortment to choose from when I do need one last minute. I used one of these when I sent magic cookie bars to my sister at college. You can find this bundle for less on eBay.

Tate Beauty & The Box Eye Shadow $22

I can’t find this anywhere. It looks like an old style but some people are claiming its a new fall item that hasn’t been released yet. I don’t know what to believe but you can certainly find it on eBay.

Capri Blue Mercury Jewel Box in Rain $18.95

Currently on sale for 13.95 but it is on backorder. I love getting candles in boxes. I can never have too many and I love when the packaging is super cute like this one is. They suggest once the candle is used you could use this as a jewelry box. The scent is rain so its a very refreshing scent. You can find this on eBayimage7

Terrapin Ridge Farms Pecan Honey Mustard $7.30

This pecan honey mustard is gluten free and dairy free. I’m planning on making pecan crusted chicken again and pairing it with this! Sounds absolutely delicious! You can find this on eBay.

BZZAGENT – Prestige For Women – Review

I don’t know if you know about bzzagent but seriously, you need to check it out! They send you FREE stuff. yes, 100% free you do not have to pay a penny. so basically what it is, is you sign up and take a few surveys about your everyday life, products that you use, if you have allergies, if you have pets, etc. very simple questions and then when they have a campaign thats relevant to you they will ask you if you want to join and you can say yes or no, and they send you a box with items that relevant to the campaign and you just have to try it out and write a review. maybe take a few pictures for extra points, talk to your friends and hand out some coupons. All they want from you, is your honest opinion about the product. Pretty cool right?

I received these products complimentary from Bzzagent for testing purposes.

IMG_3330

Gucci Bamboo Fragrance

I received a .05 FL OZ vial of this perfume. The scent is very nice and light. Very florally but not a fragrance I would be using in the fall or winter. This would be a perfume I would use more in the spring. Because the scent is so light I didn’t really end up feeling like the perfume was still there. I tried it for a few days but I don’t believe I will be revisiting this perfume until the spring season hits us.

IMG_3331

Dolce & Gabbana Matte Lipstick

I received another sample size. This was definitely my favorite sample in the box that I received. This color truly scared me at first and thought it was totally not for and something I could just not pull off, but I was wrong. This color is gorgeous and I got so many compliments while wearing this to work. I was really impressed by how moisturizing this matte lipstick was and how the color lasted throughout my whole work day! I was really happy with this lipstick and I’m glad I got to sample it!

IMG_3333

Dolce & Gabbana Passion Eyes

I already found the best mascara ever, so I kind of went into this knowing that it wasn’t going to be better than my mascara. Unfortunately, I was correct I wasn’t impressed with this mascara at all. It definitely lengthened my lashes but there was no volume with this mascara. My lashes felt so sparse and nonexistent. I don’t believe I will be wearing this mascara again.

I’m so happy I got to experience a new product! Sign up here to get into the next Bzzagent Campaign.

*Sorry for the late delay, I literally got this delivered to my house yesterday! I keep complaining to Popsugar that this is ridiculous but they just don’t seem to care and keep giving me a generic robotic answer, which is starting to make me lose faith in their company*

Why Not Me? By Mindy Kaling $25

I’m not really into autobiographies but this has 4.5 stars on Amazon. Plus Mindy Kaling is super funny and I’m sure the book would be a great read, especially because its listed as a comedy essay book. The book has a bunch of cute pictures of mindy too! But I don’t think I will be keeping this. You can find this on eBay for much less.
image9

Richer Poorer Hope Slipper Sock $15

I absolutely love these socks! They are super cute and really soft. I own a bunch of soft fluffy socks but these are by far the softest. I love the pink and the white stripes. It has a sporty to feel to them, I think its a symbol for kicking breast cancers butt! You can find these on eBay.

image7

Honest Sea Salt + Sugar Body Scrub $17

I’m very picky with my scrubs and I think I would have liked this one if it weren’t lavender. I can’t stand the smell of lavender but I wish I could. I know a lot of people are big fans of The Honest Company and how they are made with all natural ingredients. You can find this on eBay.

image5

Its a 10 Leave In Conditioner $9

This is a sample size. I’ve never used its a 10 products before but I’ve always heard amazing things about it. My sister has been using them for a quite a while now and even started using their conditioner. She’s been trying to get me to start using their products but their pricing for the size of their bottles really throw me off.  However it smells amazing and I’m really excited to get to use it. You can find this on eBay.

image4

Belgian Boys Stroopwafel $1.50

I have tried stroopwafel before and I’ve never been a big fan of it. I’ve tried it plain and i’ve tried it with tea. I believe I have received it once before in pop sugar, and love with food. They kind of taste like cardboard to me and always had a stale taste.

image6

Savvy Sleepers White Satin Pillowcase $36

I have two sets of satin sheets, cream and mocha. White does not really go with my sheets/comforter. Honestly I have not noticed any difference from sleeping on satin pillowcases then cotton. But maybe I’ve been sleeping on them for so long that its just not noticeable anymore. What I like about this pillowcase is that it has a secret pocket on the inside where you can stash love letters, hair ties, or jewelry.  You can find this on eBay.

image3

Easy, Tiger.Brown Paper Liquor Bag Set $8

This is the stupidest thing I have ever seen. Popsugar recommends bringing wine in one of these bags for a housewarming gift or halloween party. Maybe its just me but when I saw this I was like WTF. Why would they send us this. But I guess if you want this you can definitely find it on eBay.

image8

Gift Card To Danielle Stevens Jewelry $40

This is actually my favorite item in the box. I already ordered a personalized bow for my sister as a stocking stuffer gift! I’m doing her school colors; purple and white. They have a bunch of great things on their website that would be perfect for gifting! I already bought a second gift card on eBay!

image10

I payed $40 and received $111.50 without the $40 gift card. I think popsugar has really been slacking lately, with their products and with their customer service and shipping timing. This box was just so random, it did not have a theme or any kind of halloween/ fall feeling to it which really bothered me. I was charged the 2nd or 3rd or October and didn’t get it until the 22nd. Also when I contacted customer service about this problem they were so unhelpful. What did you think of this months box? Click here to sign up to get your next box!
