April Wishlist and A GIVEAWAY!

April Wishlist

1) Zooey Deschanel ‘s Bangs! Yes, I think I might have to go for the straight across bangs. I have been wanting to go for that style for a while now, so why not.

2) Forever 21 Mint skinny jeans. Ever since I saw Emily Maynard’s cute outfit on her blog, you can see HERE,  I have been wanting a pair mint/teal skinny jeans. Ms. Maynard has such great style.These forever 21 mint skinny jeans are a little more affordable. (Forever21.com)

3)JCrew Sequin Skirt, or the whole outfit actually.  I saw this skirt in the recent addition of Lucky magazine, and I fell in love. First, I love the color green, and second I really like that this style is romantic, feminine, and can be played down for a nice casual look or a night on the town. So cute! (Jcrew.com)

4)Banana Republic Black leather link necklace. I like this necklace not because I want to go out and buy it right away (well I would if I could), but because I think it has great DIY potential. I love pieces that gives me motivation to try and make a more affordable to my budget version. I will keep you up to date on my success. (bananarepublic.gap.com)

5) Kate Spade Saturday the Custom Small Weekender Bag.  When I saw this bag I just thought it was so cute, and it would be perfect for a little weekend getaway. (Saturday.com)

6) Keds brings back my childhood. I used to wear white Keds to school every day during my elementary days. These Kate Spade Keds are so cute and perfect for spring time. I found these on Nordstrom.com.

7)This pink and white striped blazer from Forever 21 would be a perfect addition to my wardrobe this spring.  It is very versatile, as seen in the picture with jeans; I also think it would be perfect with a pencil skirt for work. (forever21.com)

8)As seen in my post HERE, RocksBox introduced me to Margaret Elizabeth. After popping over to her website I fell in love with these Chrysoprase Pave Drop earrings. They are a little too pricey for me, but they are on my wishlist. Maybe RocksBox will have a pair in my next RocksBox! Speaking of RocksBox, stay tuned below for a Giveaway for 1 free month from RocksBox! (Rocksbox.com or Margaretelizabeth.com)

9)As you can see in my number 2 pick, I really think Emily Maynard has great style, and she recently did another post about YSL lipstick. I immediately went over to the YSL website, and this is now on my wishlist YSL Volupte Sheer Candy Glossy Balm in Succulent Pomegranate. Such a great color for spring. (yslbeautyus.com)

10)I really love Ruche clothing, and their shoes are great too. These Taupe Shoes are great neutral color shoes to match any spring time outfit. (Shopruche.com)

A Rocking RocksBox Review



I am so very excited to share with you the latest box I received. I am a very big fan of accessorizing any outfit with jewelry, and so when I heard about RocksBox I was thrilled.   I was very lucky to win 1 free month from Laura over at Broke Beauty Blogger ( A great blog, check her out HERE or HERE) . I was so excited to win, I  never win anything, I immediately signed up with RocksBox!

What is Rocksbox?


RocksBox is like the Netflix of the jewelry world. Each month RocksBox sends you jewelry pieces that match your style (I will talk about this part too). And then you can keep the pieces for up to 60 days. After you are done experimenting and showcasing the stylish pieces RocksBox sends, you return them,  in the return envelope they provide, OR you can also buy the pieces as well. RocksBox members get 20% off all gift memberships as well.  Once  RocksBox gets the jewelry back they will send you another set of three jewelry pieces!!


Let me be completly honest RocksBox did an awesome job on my first box. I am so pleased with my selections.

My first RocksBox Revealed


Teal Semi-Precious Stone Long Pendant Necklace by Brace Yourself LA



This necklace was perfect with a nice black business outfit, and would be perfect for so many other outfits. I absolutely loved the turquoise stone, it just popped.  Since the retail price of this necklace is $143, and the member’s price is $114.40, I probably will be sending this one back. However, it is so nice to have this necklace around to add some pop to my daily outfits for the time being. Great pick RocksBox.

A little about Brace Yourself LA


 Pyramid Stud Stretch Bracelet in Gold
by Urban Gem


This was my favorite piece in my RocksBox. Such a great piece, and so versatile; I could wear it every day (I have wore it two days in a row already, shhh, don't tell). I  usually do not spend too much on jewelry, but this bracelet is affordable. Retail price is $24, and member’s price is $19.20. Not too bad. At least I can think over the purchase for a little bit while I test the bracelet out!

A little about Urban Gem



Three Stone Drops in Pink Druzy 
by Margaret Elizabeth



I have not yet gotten the chance to wear these,. but I can see why Margaret Elizabeth is one of RocksBox’s featured designers. These earrings are spectacular. I cannot wait to wear them.  The earrnings are a great spring colors, and perfect to add a little to any outfit! Retail price of these earrings are $158, member’s price $126.40. I unfortunately never buy earrings for that much, so I am glad I can borrow them for a little bit, and feel a little more expensive than usual. 

A little about Margaret Elizabeth


Overall, I am so  very impressed with RocksBox. The jewelry that they sent was very well organized with my style, and the jewelry is exceptional quality. It is nice to see that RocksBox actually cares enough to look through the customer’s Style Profile.  Before a member signs up you go through RocksBox style profile and pick out pieces that you would wear, where you would wear them,  and what your style is most like (Boho,  Rocker, Glam, Romantic, etc.). It is obvious to me that  RocksBox is paying attention to its members.  That is awesome.  I will be giving RocksBox a try a little longer, as I already cannot wait for my next box!


If you would like to find out more information on RocksBox or sign up, check them out HERE!

Germs be Gone-Tip Top Tuesday Tidbits




My Tip Top TuesdayTidbits have been a little late lately, but life gets a little hectic sometimes.  One big thing in our life lately, with a little one around more importantly, is making sure that we keep our hands clean. Once one of us gets sick, all of us get sick. It is one of those vicious cycles. I am sure many know what I am talking about. Other than making sure we keep antibacterial wipes and hand sanitizer around, we are constantly washing our hand.  I recently got a sample of a new hand soap, Lysol Touch of Foam Antibacterial Hand Wash, as part of being a BzzAgent*,  And we were happy to give it a try.




I had always known that Lysol made cleaning products, but I had never used  any of their other products.  The Lysol Touch of Foam was an instant hit.  The first reason was because the little one, who is 2, loves bubbles. The foam action was an instant hit. I am sure she could have played with it all night long. I went to take it out of the bathroom tonight, to read the Lysol container, and she was not happy. I was taking her “soapy” away. This soap is  kid approved for sure!



Another great thing about Lysol Touch of Foam, other than the micro bubble action which kills 99.9% of the germs, (whoo hoo), is that it keeps mine and my other half’s hands nice and moisturized. I  can be a compulsive hand washer. While the hand washing keeps my hands clean, it also does a great job of drying them out completely.  It is nice to keep a soap near by that cleans while moisturizing.  Not to mention, this Lysol Touch of Foam is in Creamy Vanilla Orchid, and smells great


Overall I give Lysol Touch of Foam an A+, a great product, and even better because it keeps the germs away.





HEALTHY HANDS MEANS A HEALTHIER YOU
Health matters. To all of us. That’s why Lysol® started their Mission for Health. With new mom programs, healthy habits initiatives in schools and disaster relief efforts, the company is dedicated to doing more for everyone’s health. The mission is fueled by passion and backed by their expertise in killing germs. So when you use Lysol® at home, you’ll know you’re a part of something bigger.


If you are interested in hearing more about Lysol products and about Lysol's Mission for Health you can find more information HERE . I think the it is awesome.

Have you used Lysol    ? What do you think? What other hand soaps do you recommend.

Until next time.

Pink Beryl Essentials for March


I have finally got to my Pink Beryl Essential review.  I have been pushing forward trying to show everyone all the great boxes out there that I have gotten during March.  Pink Beryl Essentials is one of my most favorite boxes to receive.   

If you are not familiar with Pink Beryl Essentials, it is a subscription service that cost $12 to $20 each month depending on which plan you pick, and then each month Pink Beryl Essential sends you great stylish and trendy tights.  You can find out more HERE or HERE.

My March Pink Beryl Essential tights


Elle





I can never have too many black tights. These are perfect for work.  Knowing me I will need them soon, as I tend to snag my tights quite often. I am very pleased with the quality of all the Pink Beryl tights I have received so far. Each pair of tights are made well, fit perfectly, and are exactly what I was wanting when I picked them out during my monthly selection time.

Kara





These pair of Kara tights are a little more trendy and stylish than I normally would buy at a store, but they looked so cute, I could not resist. I am sure they will look great on, as all my Pink Beryl tights have looked and felt great  on so far.

Here is a peak at a pair of tights from last month. (Chloe). These were so warm, perfect for the cold days we have around this area, and so cute on.  My fiance’ even said they looked very cute.

Until next time

Fab Fit Fun VIP is Fantastic


I just could not help myself with another descriptive F wordhaha. So much fun, and so fitting! I have been a little behind in my reviews this month. It seems that all my boxes came at the same time.  Fab Fit Fun VIP is by the E-girl Guiliana Ranic, and it did not disappoint, and one of my favorite boxes recently. The only thing that is a bummer with this box is that it is only quarterly.

And now the reveal...

First FAB FIT FUN VIP BOX



Morroccan Oil


It seems that hair oil is very popular right now. I am not complaining though, because I think it is great and am a big fan. This Moroccan oil is FULL SIZE and perfect to put that little extra into your hair. A perfect addition to the hair for spring weather.

Jewel Mint Jewels
I have not seen very many boxes with the wonderful jewels that I received in my box. To be honest, I would not pick out the pieces for myself, but I am always a big fan of any piece of jewelry. Here are the three pieces I received. (Names  of pieces of jewelry are my own because I couldn’t find then on the Jewelmint website.)


1)Yellow statement earrings


These were my favorite out of the three, and I have already worn them a couple times. Cannot go wrong with some statement earrings.

2) Aztec dangle earrings


These are a little different. However, I have a couple outfits I have already thought  these earrings would look good with. And they are silver, so I think they would match quite a lot.


3) Chrome Glowing Green Ring


I do not buy rings often, but I do love the color green. I am sure I will find something to wear this with.

Zoya Nail Polish


Zoya partnered with Fab fit fun for this fabulous spring color, FABFITFUN Fuchsia. I love it, and cannot wait to wear it for spring and summer. I do think it will look wonderful on those toes during the summer months!

Per-fekt Brow perfection gel


This was a little different, and I never really put anything on my eyebrows. This gel was in carmel, and a little light for my dark eyebrows.  However, I might be able to find someone to try it out for me though.

Jouer Lip Gloss


A lady can never have too many lip glosses. This Jouer Lip gloss is in Coral Glisten. It has a great shimmer, and creates a perfect shine, while still hydrating with shea butter, jojoba oil and pomegranate seed oil. I am a big fan on Jouer, so was very excited to see this in the box.

No box is complete without a little treat

Think Think Bar


I think Fab Fit Fun read my mind when they added this to this box, I love peanut butter, and am on a “looking for good healthy food” kick. I have not tasted this yet,but it sounds and looks delish.

Overall I must say, “I want more, if we like it we want more.” If you have not idea what I am talking about you have to watch this commercial HERE for AT&T, so funny.  I would have loved to try some items in other Fabfitfun boxes that I have seen, like the teeth whitener, but I am cannot complain as this Fabfitfun box is well worth the money. Each box is $49.99, however, you can sometimes find promos, like I was able to do, and get $10.00 off.  Great deal.

I cannot wait for the next Fabfitfun box to come out. I am already thinking of all the possibilities. If you want more information on FabFitFun click HERE.

Until Next time

My Cotton Bunny Review


This is my first time of the month box,T.O.M, as I will put it from now on. My Cotton Bunny has two different options the BFF Bundle or the Tealight Bundle. When I was reviewing the site today it looked like the Tealight bundle was sold out. 



My April BFF My Cotton Bunny


 What is My Cotton Bunny?

My Cotton Bunny is the monthly subscription service that bundles your choice of feminine hygiene products with a few extra goodies to get you through your cycle. You also get your choice of T.O.M products fit your style  best: Kotex, Tampax, Always, Playtex, or o.b.It is nice to just have your T.O.M products sent to you, so are not making a mad dash to the store because you have forgotten to pick up your T.O.M products. On this concept alone I am sold.

Best yet, I will have to say My Cotton Bunny, is one of the most affordable T.O.M boxes out right now. The cost per month is $13.75, with free shipping, and extra goodies.


EXTRA GOODIES:

Earth Lux, made exclusively for My Cotton Bunny, PMS Buster Lip Balm


My favorite part of this box, other than getting my T.OM. products, was this lip balm. This PMS Buster lip balm is made from clary sage, fennel, carrot seed, lavender, marjoram, mugwort and rosewood. Yes, very earthy. I immediately took a liking to it, and used it all weekend long.   I will most certainly will be taking a little glance over at ILoveEarthLux.com, especially because with the My Cotton Bunny box Earth Lux provided a 10% off code on a purchase at their store.

Sweet Tooth Deliciousness


The chocolate is always a great addition to any box. Unfortunately my box  sat in the mailbox on the only hot day there has been lately, so my Peppermint Patty was melted. I put it in the freezer, so I could add it to a bowl of ice cream or milkshake. The other piece of chocolate was so gourmet, and looks so good. 

BFF Bling


And last the Rhinestone friendship bracelet. Such a nice little touch to the BFF My Cotton Bunny box, and so fitting. I love the bracelet, and think it will be perfect for summer. 

Overall, I am very impressed with this BFF My Cotton Bunny box.  The box is not over priced, and each box is well worth the price . I give the My Cotton Bunny an A+ for curating such a unique box.  If you are interested in learning more about or subscribing to My Cotton Bunny you can find more information HERE.


Until next time

Stay Tickled Pink,
Stephanie

*I did obtain My Cotton Bunny Box to review, so my box was free. However my opinions are my own, and are not reflective of anything or anyone other than my own review of the box, I always give my honest opinions of boxes.
