Glossybox, The Man Repeller, box and …A GIVEAWAY!

I want to share some fun, and the love of subscription boxes with a lucky lady this month. This month I got two, YES, two Glossybox, The Man Repeller, boxes. What better way to show my love for subscription boxes than to share my first Glossybox with another lucky lady! Sharing is caring, right J You can read below about how you  can win this amazing box below.

The women behind the blog, The Man Repeller, Leandra Medine, launched her amazing blog in 2010. I, just in the past year, have been an avid reader. You can check her blog out HERE.

And now moving on to the revealing…

GLOSSYBOX, The Man Repeller Box

• Estee Lauder Sumptuous Lash Mascara

Always have loved Estee Lauder, and all ladies need some more mascara. Cannot wait to try it out.

The sample size is .1 oz, and the full size (.27oz) value of this is $25. A great sample.

•  Le Metier De Beaute

Replenishing daily solution. I must say I have never heard of this brand, but for $225, for the full size version, I see why not.  This solution says it rejuvenates and detoxifies the skin. Sounds good, huh!! I will let you know after I try it out. So excited to try new things!!!

• Fresh Mattifying Serum

 I have used the Fresh Moisturizer, and it is great (a sample in the Birchbox last month)… However, the reason why I am SO excited about this is because I tend to get shiny/oily skin, so anything to make it less is great. I will let you know how this works!!

The sample is .17 oz versus the full size 1 oz. The full size version of this is $35.00.

• Sebastian Professional Potion 9

Always love a hair care sample. This is a styling cream infused with botanical extracts, which helps to rejuvenate the hair. I am, like most the products in this box, so excited to give this a try.

Sample size in the box is 1.7 oz. The full size version is $19.00 for 5.1 oz. A good size sample, and will last awhile.

• Narciso Rodriguez

Perfume…and it smells heavenly. It only has a slight floral scent, but very warm and light. I think it would be perfect to try out for the upcoming holiday (Valentines Day).

Full size is $77 for 1.6 oz. The sample size is .03 oz.

• OPI  Nail Polish

“Can’t Let Go”, a matte purple shade with shimmer. Not the biggest fan of purple polish, but I think I like the shimmer, so I will give it a try. However, who doesn’t like full size bottles of nail polish!!

This full size OPI Nail polish cost $9.00

And Last…

• Tarte glamazon 12- hour lipstick

A full size version, in Fierce, a bold red color. I just love how it looks. The real test is if it really lasts 12-hours!

Full size is $26

I am very excited about my first Glossybox. The fact that the Man Repeller collaborated with Glossybox, makes it an even better box . I cannot wait to see what other months have in store.. The verdict is… I will be sticking with my Glossybox subscription.

And now… for the giveaway… One lucky lady will win a free Glossybox The Man Repeller box.. Good luck… The winner will be announced next week!

Julep Cupid Mystery Box 

is HERE!

I have browsed around the web and have seen many great mystery boxes from Julep. Some people have gotten $200 plus worth of items in their boxes. I just love Julep, and I love their nail polish and Julep salon (it’s in my backyard, so to speak), so I thought I would treat myself to something extra special this month. (It is my birthday month too, so why not, right? J) A couple days later I received my box… great service!

And now for the revealing….

JULEP’S CUPID MYSTERY BOX

There was no special card or anything like are usually in my Maven boxes, just the items. I have seen other people’s Cupid box, and it contained a cute Happy Valentine’s Day card, but none for me…

However, here is my loot:

• ·     4 awesome nail polishes
• ·        A gift card for One Free Nail Color; and
• ·        Lip Gloss, or may I say a lip gloss box. When I opened up the box, it was empty?  No lip gloss. I have contacted Julep though, so hopefully I will, in fact, get their lovely lip gloss.

Overall, I would  it was worth the purchase.  I would for sure get another Mystery box when the time comes around again. I wish I would have gotten the Bauble Bar jewelry though, haha. I love Bauble Bar!!! If you have not gone to the Bauble Bar website, please go.

And.... it is not too late to still pick up one of these Julep Cupid Mystery Box, just click HERE!

For those who have ordered a Julep Cupid Mystery Box, how was it?

CRAVEBOX CRAZY

It has been a week or so since my last post, but early this week I got an exciting package in the mail that I wanted to share with you all. CRAVEBOX! I absolutely love Cravebox. They are a little different of a subscribing system, in that you have enter your name into a raffle like system, and then they let you know if you “Are IN” or not.  I have only missed out on about two boxes this last year, but I am very pleased and excited to try the items in this box. The theme was Zatarain’s Big Game, just in time for the Superbowl. Not only was it double sized this time, but Cravebox also gave people who were in the choice to receive more boxes, so you could use the items at your own Superbowl party.

I was excited this was New Orleans Game Day themed box,  as I love football, and it was made especially for a Superbowl party. Here is a picture of the items included in the Cravebox.

Zatarain’s Jambalaya and Rice and Beans

I am particularly excited to try Zatarain’s Jambalaya and Rice and Beans. I have never made Jambalaya, but I am always up for a challenge. I will let you know how it turns out.

Zatarain’s Creole Mustard

I have already tried this full size item of Creole Mustard. Yummy!  I am a mustard girl, not yellow mustard,  but mustard with a kick! This Creole Mustard will  spice things up.  All in all it is fantastic mustard. Probably a great addition to a homemade BBQ sauce as well.

TRUE Lemon Iced Tea

Took the time to make some of this last night, and it is fantastic. Just the right amount of sweetness in this tea mix, and super refreshing as well.  On Superbowl day, add a little adult kick, and it will be great addition to the party. I give it a thumbs up!

Zatarain’s Creole Seasoning

I have actually purchased this before, and I love it. It is a little like Johnny’s Seasoning, but with a kick. I would recommend it on anything from mixing it up with some soup, adding it as a topper to a salad, to adding as a topper to some crispy French fries. I was so excited to get double the Creole Seasoning, it definitely is the best!

If you want to check out Cravebox, check out their up and coming drawings HERE. I am already signed up for the Cooking Light Box, and I would recommend heading over to Cravebox.com to sign up yourself. Most boxes cost anywhere from $10 to $15, not too bad at all for what you get. Cravebox is definitely worth every penny!!! They have also added some new boxes called “Instant Boxes” ranging from $10 to $14, you can see the options HERE!!

Asian Goodness in a Box

I would like to introduce dumplingbox. I just found this subscription box service at the end of last week, I signed up right away, and a week later I have my first box. Talk about service! Dumplingbox is $10 per month, and I am very pleasantly impressed with my first box. 

What is dumplingbox you ask?

Dumplingbox ( and what a cute name) is dedicated to spreading the deliciousness of Asian snacks. 

Here is my first box full of Asian treats, and a personalized greeting postcard (impressive) . Dumplingbox also comes with a very helpful list of all the treats, and the ingredients, which is handy.

I look forward to seeing more boxes to come.

Check out dumplingbox HERE! Let me know what you think

My favorite... IPSY Glam Bag!

Have I told you yet that I love monthly subscription boxes OR bags? Well, this is my favorite by far. IPSY  monthly Glam bag is just blow me away excellent. Such a great assortment of beauty items to try, and on top of that some item are even full size.  For January, the focus of the IPSY Glam Bag was Super Star. And IPSY  out did themselves this month!

I love getting this pink package in the mail….

And inside the January IPSY Bag

My favorite item this month (it was hard to pick one, since it all was great) was …

the London Soho Crease Brush. 

I opened it up immediately, and it was perfect. I would like to try more London Soho brushes, as I was so impressed with the quality of this brush! London Soho brushes run from $19.99 to 7.99. 

The other items in the January IPSY bag were:

Pacifica Body Butter- Tuscan Blood Orange.

I have used other products by Pacifica before, and I love their Body Butter. This was a 2.5 oz sample, which was awesome. At Sephora a Pacific 2.5 oz Body Butter would cost around $7.00. Wow… just the Pacifica Body Butter and the London Soho brush are worth the $10.00 you spend on the whole IPSY Glam Bag in itself. I am very impressed with this Pacifica product. It smells great, and leaves my skin feeling very moisturized, leaving no oily residue like some body butters..

Josie Maran 100% Pure Argan Oil

Argan Oil can be used for many areas including hydrating and nourishing skin, as a daily moisturizer, skin treatment, treating spilt ends, and softening cuticles. It's gentle enough to use on all skin types and is believed to help with skin conditions including acne. I have used other Argan Oils, and I really love using it on my hair. So far I am loving this product. Additionally, the Jose Maran Argon oil 17 fl. Oz. sample runs about $17. 

Nailtini Nail Lacquer (Bloody Mary)

I have received the Nailtini nail polish in previous IPSY Glam Bags, and I loved it. I was so happy to receive this FULL SIZE nail polish, and am excited to give the Bloody Mary color a try. Nailtini is a great product, and I would love to try out many more of their  products as well (Liptini and Eyetini).  The Nailtini would regularly cost about $13, if bought alone. Again WOW!

Big Sexy Hair Spray and Play

I am always in need of a travel size hair spray. I have never used the Big Sexy Hair products before, but am excited to give this hairspray a try. Who doesn’t want a hair spray that volumizes as well.  Retail value on the Big Sexy Hair travel sized Spray and Play is $6.

And it all comes each month a wonderful Glam bag.

January’s bag was awesome, navy blue outside with stars on the inside.

 IPSY Glam Bag never lets me down, and it is the best subscription bag I have yet to see out there. With the price of $10 per month, IPSY Glam Bag is my top pick for products and price!!! I cannot wait for February’s Glam Bag. 

Give it a try HERE, you cannot go wrong! And make sure to let me know what you think as well!!
