April’s box is inspired by spring showers, farmer’s markets, outdoor fun, fresh produce and SIMPLICITY.

Dabney Lee ~ Dottie Umbrella ($20) This is perfect! I don’t have an umbrella. It’s a great size and goes with so much. I kind of can’t wait to use it.

One Love Organics ~ Gardenia + Tea Antioxidant Body Serum. ($39) It’s been forever since I’ve used a body serum. I just never think about it. This one has a light fresh scent and absorbs nicely.

Potting Shed Creations ~ Garden-in-a-Bag Basil ($10) This reminds me of growing sprouts in elementary school. 🙂 I don’t use much basil though so this will be gifted.

Produce Candles ~ Rhubarb Spring Candle ($20) I love rhubarb but never really thought of a stand alone scented item. I always pair it with strawberry. This isn’t overly scented which is nice. I don’t like overpowering candles.

Flip & Tumble ~ 24-7 Bag ($12) YES the little ball is a bag. I’m planning on keeping it in my purse because I always forget my reusable bags in the trunk of my car.

*Special Extra* Mott 50 ~ $25 Gift Card. Truth be told, I’m not a fan of gift cards in my boxes. I think I’ve only been able to use one once or twice. Though this clothing line seems nice, it’s super pricey for me. I couldn’t even find anything on the sale page.

I haven’t been this happy with a PopSugar box in a long time. I love the serum and bag. The bag and candle scream spring, which is much appreciated after the long drab winter. Who else is PS fan?

Before we begin, since I missed February/March boxes I was out of the loop. I now know that boxes come out bi-monthly.

This month’s theme is “Nonna’s Kitchen”.  The three sisters (curators of this box) chose this as a homage to their grandmother and fond memories of the foods, smells and little things they remember growing up with her.  All of the contents in my box  are on a Tea Towel that was inside.

Belle & Union Co ~ Tea Towel ($14.99) The fabric has a nice feel to it. I don’t want to use it though. It’s cute enough to hang on the wall of my kitchen.

Fruits & Passion ~ Cucina Dish Soap ($8.99) This soap is concentrated, biodegradable and free from phosphates. The scent is a fresh lime zest & woody cypress. I really like it!

Marx Foods ~ Filotea Pennette della Domenica Pasta ($8.99) Artisan egg pasta imported from Italy. I can’t wait to try it!

Janelle Beaulieu ~ Porcelain Jewelry Dish ($14.99) This is beautiful and kind of delicate. I know this box centers around the kitchen, but I’m going to keep this on my night stand.

Le Cadeaux ~ Olive Oil Dipping Bowls ($15.99) These 4 cute little bowls are a high quality Melamine and are decorated with an old world Italian design.

Marx Foods ~ Trentasette Italian Basil Pesto Sauce ($8.50) The classic pesto, perfected over generations. Rich in basil, pine nuts and parmesan cheese.

Market List Notepad by Brianna (Little Lace Box) ($4.99) I love love love notepads! This will be perfect to use for shopping lists.

The Ancient Olive ~ Gourmet Olive Oil & Balsamic Vinegar ($13.99) This pair was specially crafted for LLB. The vinegar is a Sicilian Lemon and the Oil is a Milanese Gremolata that consists of fresh lemon zest, minced garlic, Italian flat leaf parsley and a hint of mint. YUM

Every month has been an exciting experience with Little Lace Box. I have loved it since they began last year. I can’t wait for June.

It’s been a while since I shared my Vegan Cuts Beauty Box.  I’ve lost, but I’m slowing getting back my blogging MoJo. 🙂

Price: $19.95 Ships to: US for free, Canada for $8, and Worldwide for $15

Each box contains a mix of 4-7 full and sample size cruelty-free beauty must-haves, ranging from unique cosmetics to luxurious skincare. All items are void of nasty, toxic ingredients and animal by-products.

Here is April’s box.

Emani Lip Shine ~  Full Size ($16)  Social Climber  is actually a shade i was afraid of at first, but I tried it anyway. I really like it. The gloss is really hydrating and not sticky either. It’s made from organic fruit extracts and oils. I also like that it is free of parabens, phthalates, gluten, etc.

Petal Fresh ~  3oz ($2) This is an organic tea tree oil scalp treatment conditioner.   I think my scalp is crying for this. I got the shampoo last month and love it. I’m glad they decided to send out conditioner too!

Goddess Garden ~ 1oz ($4.40) Organic sunny body natural sunscreen SPF 30

Captain Blankenship   1oz ($6) Mermaid mane sea salt hair spray. I got this brand in another sub box last year. I didn’t like it. I don’t like to use texturizing products in my hair. It’s super thick and these sprays just make it feel dirty and weighed down.

Wellinhand Action Remedies ~ Bug-A-Boo Vanilla Rosemary insect repellant. I really hope the vanilla overpowers the rosemary. I haven’t sniffed it yet because it’s a rather small ville and I want to spill it.

Aside from the spray, I’m happy with everything in this box. I can’t wait to try the shampoo and conditioner together.

Babeboxx is a beauty subscription box that sends vegan,  natural, organic and, handmade, grooming and lifestyle products.

PRICE: $24.99 Ships to US and Canada

COUPON: Use code SBR03 to get 10% off your first box!

Coco Lavish ~ Lavish Shave Cream 40z Full Size ($6.75) I can’t wait to try this! I’ve never used shaving cream in this form. I touched and smelled it. It’s really moisturizing and smells sort of like Tea Tree or maybe some kind of mint. I have a feeling though it’s going leave my legs super refreshed.

Angel Face Botanicals ~ Kissed gentle foaming organic gel facial cleanser.  2.5 oz ($11) I got this in another box and used it right away. It felt really nice and my face felt super clean, but it may have been too much for my skin. I had a minor break out.

Black Dahlia Lacquer ~ Full Size ($9.50) The 5-free lacquer shade is strawberry fields. The note card describes it as a coral-leaning red polish with  a gold shimmer and a hint of gold glass fleck. It looks like a dark pink for me. I’m bummed because I’ve heard of this brand before and want to try it so bad. This just isn’t my color. Just to see how the formulation is I MIGHT try it on my toes.

Little Stuff 4U ~ Baby Kisses Cheek Color ($7) This a a neutral medium pink mineral makeup with no fillers, bismuth or talc.  Even though it says pink, it doesn’t scream it. It truly is a neutral looking shade that I’ll be able to pull off.

This is my second BabeBoxx and I love it. I will try Kissed again and I guess I’ll try the lacquer just to see the formulation. I am super excited to try the shave cream and blush. So yeah, this month is a total win for me! I can’t wait to see what next month brings!

ToGoSpa was kind enough to send me this box to review.  If I’m not mistaken, it’s the $45 box.

This month’s Benefit: Wild Lime Coconut Coffee Scrub 7oz ($20)  Boss Babe Body.

The main focus of this service is to replenish your supply of their FABULOUS Eye & Face Gels. To keep it from getting boring each month they’ll add a Benefit worth $20-$50. That is the only information you’ll find on your sheet. Details/Usage of your Benefit.

Not only do I work 12 hr graveyard shifts, but it’s spent staring at camera monitors and computer screens. My office is always dry and stuffy as well. When I thought about doing this sub monthly I kind of  cringed. It’s a lot of eye masks. Thinking about how often I use them (Yes, at work.) this is the perfect scrub for me.

Though I was given this box for review purposes, all opinions are my own. MizD

Memebox Berrylicoius Mystery Box ~ #berryliciousskin $39.00 (SOLD OUT)

Do you always wonder how people can have a flawless complexion, and skin so soft?  Well ladies, it all starts with the skin.  Cleansing, we cannot further stress the importance of cleansing in every skin routine. Many times we breakout because of leftover residue that ends up irritating our skin, in which results in the production of a pimple.  Keep your skin hydrated and enrich it with the various nutrients that are derived from Cranberries, Cherries, Wildberries, and Strawberries packed with Vitamins A, C, K, B6, Omega-3 Fatty Acids, and many other skin benefiting nutrients that are used to brighten, whiten and liven up your complexion. 

Lioele  Vita Juicy Foam Cleanser ~ Cranberry 150ml ($18.50) A purifying cleansing foam best for oily skin. Cranberry helps to get red of dead skin cells, especially on oily skin, that tends to clog pores, causing dull skin and breakouts.  Contains Vitamins and Lioele’s patented formula leaving the skin healthy and vitalized.

Skinfood Cherry Milk Soft Hand Essence 150ml ($10) An essence for hands, formulated with cherry extract (Vitamin C), milk protein, and mineral oil to keep hands moisturized. Smells AMAZING!

Skinfood Wildberry Milk Cleansing Cream (Moist) 150ml ($9.50) A moisturizing cleansing cream made with wild berry extract and milk extract to wash away dirt, oil, and makeup to leave skin soft and supple.

TonyMoly Mini Cherry Lip Balm ($9) I LOVE THIS BALM! Give your lips a hint of natural color with this highly moisturizing lip balm formulated with blackberry, cranberry, raspberry, and strawberry extracts for a healthy luster.

Skinfood Black Sugar Strawberry Mask (wash off) ($16.50) Exfoliate your skin with this delicious smelling mask made of strawberry seed oil and black sugar.

Another Memebox win for me! I almost wish I would have got two.
