I-Ella The List Soho Bag Review

Yay, another clothing and shoe subscription came about a week ago, and it was for me! Another great month for I-Ella the List Bag, and for this month the theme was shoes. Yes, ladies shoes! I was beyond thrilled to see what was packed inside this month’s bag.

What is I-Ella the List?

I-Ella the List is your Personal Stylist in a Box. Each month I-Ella the List will pick out a theme, and send you a box full of fashion goodness, and extra goodies. You can pick from three bags: 1) Starter Bag, which is $59; 2)Soho Bag, which is $129; and 3) St. Barth’s Bag, which is $389.  Before signing up you take a style quiz, to find out what you like best, and I-Ella the List also has you provide all your sizing information, so that any clothing and shoes fit perfectly. The sit back and wait to for the fashion to come to your door.

SHOES I-ELLA THE LIST SOHO BAG

This month the theme was shoes, and I was thinking, well of course the contents will be shoes. Well, I-Ella went beyond that, and I cannot wait to show you what was in my Soho Bag this month.

Herban Essentials Towelettes -$6.00

These are included in most my I-Ella the List Bags, but I really like them. In this month’s box they included only Lavender, which is may favorite out of them all. These are great to pack in my purse, or to have in a bag for the little one.

Clairvoyant Beauty  DePuffing Eye Gel and Misc. Samples- $16

I am always looking for a better DePuffing Eye Gel. I currently use Benefit Cosmestic, and I really like it,  but we will see how this matches up. There were also samples included of French Clay Cleanser and UnderEye Brightening Gel.  What I like about Clairvoyant is that it is vegan and no animal testing.

Rifle Paper Co. Garden Recipe Card Set- $12

These are just super cute recipe cards, and I love Rifle Paper Co. Somethng I didn't expect to see in my I-Ella the List bag, but I like them.  I may have to find a nice little recipe card holder now.  Any suggestions where to get one?

Michael Lauren Clothing Black Tank Maxi Dress- $90

Michael Lauren has a list of A-list clients like Halle Berry, Charlize Theron, and Jessica Alba. I really like these celeb’s style, so I thought I would  like what was packed inside my I-Ella the List Soho Bag. And, yes, I do! A very classic black tank maxi dress. It is just my style, and is super comfy. I-Ella the List most definitely is keeping my style in mind with this pick. Love it!

MTNG Nile Sandals- $85

And now the SHOES! I usually would not have picked these sandals out these on my own. However, they are super stylish, and I think would look very good with the black tank maxi. MTNG shoes are made in Spain and are said to be super high quality. I am very happy with these sandals.

TICKLED PINK OPINION: The total value of my I-Ella the List Soho Bag this month was $209, and the cost for me was $139 (shipping is extra), and I think the Soho Bag I got was well worth it. I could not be happier with the Shoes I-Ella the List Soho Bag. I am super impressed by the turnaround of the I-Ella bags that I have been getting lately. If you read any of my reviews a couple months ago,  I was a little displeased with what I had been getting. However, I have been super happy with the last two Soho Bags that I have received, and hope that I keep getting bags like this. I know that this bag’s theme was shoes, but I was most excited about my Michaeal Lauren Clothing Black Tank Maxi Dress, and cannot wait to wear it. The next bag’s theme is Sex in the City, and I cannot wait to see what is in store for I-Ella the List Bags. Another maxi would be fine by me! Haha.

What did you think of the Shoes I-Ella the List Soho Bag? Are you wondering which character you are most like from Sex in the City, and what I-Ella the List would pick out for you in their next bag? Well, to learn more or sign up, you can visit I-Ella the List HERE.  

Until next time…

I-Ella the List Starter Bag- Left me Wanting More

I was so excited about this box when I first started to receive it a couple months ago; however, as the months have passed I have become a little more disappointed. I received my June I-Ella the List Starter Bag this weekend, and I must say I was expecting a little more. I think it may be that I-Ella the List set the bar so high in my first starter bag, that I expected the same caliber of products in all my Starter Bags from I-Ella each month.

This month's theme was Weekend in the Hamptons, specifically, my letter from I-Ella was titled "Lunch in Southampton" (What will you wear?) The cost of the I-Ella the List Starter Bag is $59 plus shipping cost each month. 

I-Ella the List also has two other options: The Soho Bag ($129 plus shipping) and the St. Barth's Bag ($389 plus shipping) per month. 

Here is my...

June I-Ella the List 

Weekend in the Hamptons Starter Bag

DEVON PAVLOVITS NECKLACE $75

While I really do like this necklace, I really am amazed at the pricing of the necklace. Do not get me wrong though, I know even the simplest piece of jewelry can be worth a lot. This is very pretty and dainty, and I know I will wear this.

MEDI-TAN SAMPLES $5

I was looking over the Medi-Tan website and noticed they had sunless tan products, and while I do love getting tanning oil, it is not quite sunny enough Seattle, to be needing any tanning oil. However, as it gets sunnier I will most definitely be able to use the three samples I got, whether it be myself or for friends and family.

FARMHOUSE FRESH SAMPLES

I received two samples of the lotion and one sample of the oil from Farmhouse Fresh. I am excited to try these products out as they were on Oprah’s Favorite things list in years prior.

HERBAN ESSENTIALS TOWELETTES  $10

This is the same product that you saw and should have seen in my last couple reviews of the I-Ella the List Starter Bag. That you can read HERE. And while I really do love these towelettes, I really would like to see something different.

I was super excited to receive this subscription bag/box this month, however, this month's I-Ella the List Starter Bag left me just wanting to see more. My very first starter bag cost the same, but included $205 worth of fantastic products, including a fabulous Sam & Lavi Dress, as seen below.  

My next I-Ella the List Starter bag included $123 worth of wonderful products. And this month I-Ella the List Starter bag totaled $90 worth of products. I see a trend unfortunately. 

Overall, I really hate to complain, as it seems , after researching, that what I received in my Starter Bag was worth the price I paid for I-Ella the List Starter Bag. Unfortunately though,  I would never actually pay $59 for a little necklace and bath and body samples. And I would have loved to find some clothing instead. To be honest, that is why I keep signing up for I-Ella the List subscription. I find myself now debating on whether I should keep my subscription or not. 

What do you think of this month’s I-Ella the List Starter Bag, the Soho Bag or the St. Barth's Bag? If you are interested in learning more about I-Ella the List monthly subscription or signing up, you can check out I-Ella's website HERE.

I-Ella The List Starter Bag Review

I was really excited and pumped to receive my second I-Ella The List Box. I again went with the Starter Bag. The starter Bag costs $59,  and another $10 for shipping. However, I am quickly finding this to be my favorite subscription box to receive each month.

The other I-Ella Options are the Soho Bag for $129 and the St. Barth’s Bag for $389.

While, I really really enjoyed this month’s bag, I was really sad to see that I did not get any clothing. Additionally, the value of my bag, while still double what I paid for it, was less than what my first bag was worth.

May Starter Bag

Olivella Facial Cleansing Cloths

I have already been using these, and I really like them.  I have never seen olive oil being used in any of my other facial cleansers, but, they are working great!

Herban Essentials Towelettes

In this bag I received the Lemon Towelettes and the Pet Towelettes. I am loving the lemon scent of these towelettes, and they are perfect for my purse or for a road trip.  Now that I have finally tried these out, I am really disappointed I never received my lavender towelettes from last month, as I love lavender. If the lavender are as great as these lemon towelettes than I think I am missing out.  Has anyone tried the Lavender towelettes yet?

S.W. Basics of Brooklynn Cleanser

I loved the lip balm I received in my last bag, and this cleanser is just as great. This is made with tea tree oil, yet is not overpowering, which I love. I used it the other day, and it takes off my makeup great, and feels good on the skin.

BIKO Necklace

My favorite piece of jewelry to wear on a normal basis are necklaces, so I really enjoyed this piece from BIKO. I really love the unique hardware style of this necklace, and think it is a great piece to add to my collection of jewelry. I also love the inspiration it has given me to make some of my own jewelry. Excellent addition to my Starter Bag.

Overall  May’s I-Ella The List Starter Bag was great. I received $123 worth of products, and only paid, with shipping, $69. I cannot wait to see what is to come for I-Ella The List, and for months to come.

What do you think of I-Ella The List? If you are interested in signing up, and getting on The List, you can find out more information HERE. And if you would like to see my Starter Bag from last month, you can HERE.

Until next time…

I-Ella the List- Starter Bag Review

I have had this box for a while now, but I was waiting to get an item that was left out before I reviewed it. Unfortunately, that item has not arrived yet, and I cannot wait any longer to share with you my I-Ella The List Starter Bag that I received at the end of March. 

If you have not heard about I-Ella The List subscription bag you can check out more HERE or HERE.

The I-Ella The List Starter Bag that I received:

S.W. Basic of Brooklyn Cinnamon Lip Balm- $4.00

This is a great lip balm, and best yet it is eco-chic, smells great, and affordable. The Cinnamon Lip Balm is made out of only 5 ingredients ( cocoa butter, coconut oil, beeswax. Cinnamon, cardamom; and essential oils). This went on smooth, and worked great at moisturizing my lips.

Armour Beauty Lip Gloss in Siouxsie- $21

This lip gloss is a favorite from Rachel Zoe, Eva Mendes, and  Lady Gaga. Already sounds like it is a hit. The color of this lip gloss is a bright red, which I just love. Best yet it would look perfect with the dress that I received in my Starter Bag.

And now to the best item THE DRESS

Sam & Lavi Metallic Lace Dress- $180

In one word, Amazing. This dress fit my style to the tee.  I love the color black first of all, and the detail on this dress was impeccable.  The dress is made out of a sheer gold floral lace on top, which was feminine, sophisticated, and absolutely beautiful.  The pictures of this dress just does not give it justice at all.  And, it fit perfectly!

A little detail about Sam + Lavi,  it is a LA based brand that is very popular in Hollywood right now with starts like Kim Kardasian. This company is known to stay low profile however, and many have not heard of it, Now that I have I want more from Sam & Lavi!

As I said, I was supposed to also receive Herban Essential Lavender Towelettes
($3), but they were not included in my box. I talked to Ella, and she said she would send some to me, so no worries. I just hope that they reach me soon.

Overall, this box was just amazing. This was my one splurge box during March, and I would have to say it was well worth it. The I-Ella The List Starter Bag cost $59 with $10 shipping cost, so $69 total. In all I received $205(did not include the Lavender Towelettes) worth of products. Products of which, were just outstanding! I am thoroughly impressed by the I-Ella The List Starter Bag!

Until next time,

Stay Tickled Pink,

A New Find... I-Ella

Was looking for some new boxes to subscribe to this week and came across I-Ella The List Gift Bag. I have seen some reviews online, and they include some extremely awesome products each month. However, it is a little pricey.

Here are the different gift bag options:

Starter Bag                      Soho Bag                    St. Barth's Bag

$59                                       $129                              $389

Yes, A little pricey. But, I was sucked in by a review I read on Mysubscriptionaddiction today HERE, and the products she received. I mean look at this  Billy Kirk Leather Tote, I love it!

I was curious if others have subscribed to I-Ella The List Gift Bag, and what is your impression of this monthly subscription ? Also, does the Billy Kirk Leather Tote come in the  I-Ella The List Gift Bag Starter Bag for $59? If so, I am 100% in.  Please share your thoughts or reviews!

Until next time...
