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
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.
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
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

Until next time…
