Living Outside the Subscription Box

GLOSSY BOX July 2017 Beauty Subscription box. 4/5 stars This was the first beauty subscription box I ever got and I'm still pleased with it today. Glossy Box puts a lot of curation into making great boxes. What you receive in the mail is this attention getting black and white box. It has a tear strip down one side making it easy to open. Then inside you will find your real box. A sturdy keepsake box with a removable lid. I dare you to throw it out! Especially when you get a box like this month. Usually, the box is a pale pink but every now and then Glossy will switch things up. This month we had a choice of four designs to choose from for our July #TROPICALBEAUTY themed box. This is the particular box I picked and it is sitting out in the open now holding some odds and ends. Glossy Box gets points for keeping the excitement level high. Here we receive a box, open it and find another box inside, then take the lid off said box to reveal this: An eyeful o...

LOVE WITH FOOD BOX July 2017 Subscription box full of healthy living snacks. I get the deluxe box but they do have a gluten-free box also to choose. 4/5 stars Use my link to Love With Food and save up to 50% off your first box! I have a years subscription to this box as I love the healthy snack food it introduces me to. My family isn't very adventurous when it comes to food so most of it is for me but they have found things they like too! Last month was rather disappointing as everything was hot and spicy and I don't do hot well at all 😓You can't miss the Love with Food box when it arrives as it is always a bright red box! Just cut a piece of tape and your box is open and will give you a delight as you catch a glimpse of a few items on top. I'm drooling already .. I love naan and I love garlic 😊 What was in the box: 2 packages -  The Daily Crave Veggie Chips - My family loves veggie chips so these were welcome by everyone. We hadn't ha...

LAVISH BATH BOX June 2017 Subscription box for women to lavish themselves at bath time. 5/5 stars This was my very first ever Lavish Bath Box and I was so giddy to receive it. Bath time is a special "me" time and I take it very seriously. I want peace, quiet, relaxation and luxury 👄. I had never tried a bath bomb before but have been drooling over them for quite some time now. This is what your box looks like when it arrives. A beautiful coloured box that just screams soap and bubbles and cleanliness! When we first open the box we get an eyeful but can't see what's inside. This card has a list of the items in your box, with ingredients and coupon codes to shop at the products' websites, many Etsy stores but not all. The other thing that happened to me when I opened the box was almost fainting from the gorgeous perfumy scent wafting out of it 👃! Since I couldn't see anything inside I turned the box away from myself and did a blind unboxing...

SKETCH BOX July 2017 Subscription box for artists 4/5 stars I've been receiving this box since late 2016 and know it's always going to be a treat! When the box arrives we get a beautiful cardboard box held together with tape which is easily pulled off so as not to wreck the gorgeous packaging. Each month the box is adorned with art from a subscriber. I love this month's whimsical girl! Once the box is opened we can see in all its glory what we are about to receive. If you like to blind box make sure you turn the box away from you as you will get an eyeful! Look at the goodies waiting in this month's Sketch Box . I wanted to get my hands on those brightly coloured pens right away! Let's take a look at what we received in the box then I'll show you a closer look: Every box contains a vinyl "SketchBox" sticker, a detailed list of all the items you have received, plus a glossy print of original art from a subscriber who used t...

SCRAWLR BOX June 2017 Subscription box for artists 4/5 stars This is my first Scrawlr Box. A subscription box shipped from the UK. One thing that I like about this is that we get supplies which are available in the UK and, therefore, some may be brands not readily available here in Canada. The box comes as seen in the picture, one just has to slice a small piece of tape holding the box closed. Upon opening the box we see this: Everything is wrapped up in plain tissue paper with a scrawlr logo sticker holding it together. Peeking out from the bottom is a print of a piece of art by a subscriber.  I like when you open the box and can't see anything. It leaves one more surprise before we see the contents! Here we see the box is dedicated to one company " Chameleon " pens! I had never tried these before and will admit the instructions were a bit daunting. It actually took me quite a while, both reading their website and watching youtubes before I...

MARIO BADESCU Skin Care Glycolic Foaming Cleanser 6fl oz 5/5 stars received a free bottle from Amazon Vine program. An excellent facial cleanser! I've been using this every day on my oily skin and getting great results. Using a face brush it works up a thick lather removing makeup and dirt. Leaving my mature skin smooth and taught. The product says to keep away from eyes and it really means it! I got some in my eyes the first time and it stung like the dickens. But since I've become more proficient in keeping it away from that area. Great price for a great product which is lasting a long time. A little bit goes a long way.
