Bunny’s Fur & Feathers Fun Pack ~ Cat Edition: November 2014
Bunny’s Furr & Feathers FunPacks make me feel spoiled, even though it’s not for me! I can go on and on about how personal they make it feel! It’s like they’re thinking about MY furkids alone when they put together this box.
Thank you Chris & Bunny for making this such a wonderful box for my babies!
PRICE: $25 a month or discounts if you choose 3/6 month or annual subscriptions. SO WORTH THE PRICE!
Meowmosa™ Cat Treats ~ ($5.99) My cats insist I buy a case of these and the other flavors Omega Paw carries in this line.
PureBites® For Cats ~ Shrimp ($5.99) Shrimp! “Nuff said!
Pet stages ~ Fishy Fish 2pk. ($7.99) I like how these can hold up to a lot of abuse. 🙂
Amazing Pet Products ~ Twine balls
Earth Bath ~ ($ 4.99) Grooming foam for cats. I like this because I can do sneak attack cleaning. Like a quick fur rub, pretending to just petting. 🙂
Once again all cats in my house are happy. Treats are gobbled, box beat up and toys loved on.
I paid for this box and all opinions are those of my 5 cats. ~D

Vegan Cuts Beauty Box ~ November 2014
There are affiliate links in this post.
My Vegan Cuts Beauty Box for November is finally here! The theme is “Fall Into Beauty” but now if feels like winter. Oh well.
PRICE: $19.95 + FREE shipping. They also deliver worldwide.
**No bunny was harmed in the making of this box!
Demes ~ Butter Me Up moisturizing stick in Tangerine Vanilla FULL SIZE ($15) This stick smells amazing! I love how it has many uses. You can use it on your lips, cheeks, elbows, anywhere!
Shorganics ~ Rosemary mint soap. Minty soap is a great pick-me-up!
Evolvh ~ Nutrient-infusing shampoo. Travel size ($7)
La Mav ~ Wrinkle Smoothing Antioxidant Rich Nightly Repair Nectar. I love serums so I’m not too happy with the size.
The All Natural Face ~ Diva stick (eyeshadow) in black khol. Full size ($5)
Mullein & Sparrow ~ All natural tinted lip and cheek balm. Full size ($10) This is a really nice balm. I don’t know if I’ll use it on my cheeks, but it does feel good on my lips.
Another awesome month! I just wish I wouldn’t get my boxes so late.
I paid for this box and all opinions are my own. ~D
Eco Emi ~ November 2014
This may sound strange, but I honestly don’t remember subscribing to this version of Eco-Emi. I knowingly purchased the beauty box, but don’t remember this one. So, yeah, it was a total surprise getting it in the mail. : -)
Price: $15 includes shipping.
Cisse Trading Co. ~ Milk chocolate hot cocoa. Just in time for the cold weather we’re having. UGH
Medusa’s Makeup ~ lipstick in “Triple X” This is the second lipstick I’ve received. I am so sad because I really want to try it. I’ve read the formula is amazing and it’s vegan! The shade is just not me. I would rather gift or trade it, then waste it.
Skout ~ organic trailbar. Sweet potato and apple. I gobbled this up and tossed the wrapper before I knew what it was. hehe
Naked Edge Snacks ~ Veggie-Go’s sweet potato apple leather. Another winner!
Muchie’s Skin ~ Shea body butter. Smells lemony. I don’t like it.
Coastal Scents ~ African black soap. I got this last year in another box. I REALLY love it. It made my face feel super clean, but didn’t try it out.
Skin & Co. Roma ~ Sicilian light serum. WOW $47 for 1 oz. I can’t wait to try it to see what it does! Wrinkles be gone!
Veda Company ~ Tea light candles. Very floral smelling. Quite nice actually. Another high price item. 15/$30
I’m so glad I came back to Eco-Emi. My only whine is the samples aren’t bigger. I can see why though. They are high quality.
I paid for this box and all opinions are my own. ~D
Eco Emi Deluxe Beauty Box ~ November 2014
This is another box I let go of for a while. I decided to join again when I found out they had a DELUXE size beauty box. YAY!
Eco-Emi Beauty Box ~ 4-5 Deluxe and Full size items. 100% cruelty free.
Price: $22 includes shipping.
Haughty Cosmetics ~ Blush in “Polished” ($28) This has a sponge tip applicator. I’ve actually never tried a cream blush. I think I can pull of this shade though. I’m excited to try it. OH and the tube is HUGE. It will last forever!
Trinite Organiques ~ Aloe Shea Souffle Body Butter ($22) There is no real scent to this butter. I guess that’s good thing. It will make it easier to layer. It absorbs nicely too.
Medusas Makeup ~ ($12) CRAZY purple shade!! Purple is my favorite color, but there is no way I’m even going to attempt this.
Deep Steep ~ Brown Sugar-Vanilla body wash. ($9.95) I love Deep Steep products. I own many of them. I was beyond excited to get this.
I appreciate when box values are above what I paid for. Yes, there are times when it doesn’t. This box is amazing! I can’t wait to see what December brings.!
I paid for this box and all opinions are mine. ~D
Memebox ~ Global #16
This post contains affiliate links.
I think Memebox Global boxes are the best. You get a super variety from many different brands. No silly themes, just good products at a great price! I just dislike that they are spread out so much. On top of that I’m in Montana so I get my boxes even later than most people.
PRICE: $23.00 + S/H SOLD OUT
Here are the 5 FULL SIZE products I got in this box.
Unni Recipe ~Vitamin Recharger Mist 130ml ($15)
Quench skin’s thirst and brighten up dull complextions with this mist that’s enriched with 6 different vitamins and hyluronic acid. Free from parabens, mineral oil, alcohol, tri-alcohol, artificial coloring and benzophenon. Can be used with all skin types.
Delskin ~ Centella 90 Power Ampoule 30ml ($14)
“Over 90% of this facial ampoule consists of Centella Asiatica extracts, world-renown for its intensive soothing and repairing agents highly gentle and effective on sensitive skin suffering from stimulated, reddened spots or blemishes. Rejuvenate dry, tired skin with one of Mother Nature’s best gifts!”
Mizon ~ Snail Recovery Gel Cream 45 ml ($24)
I know I’ve been using K-Beauty products for a few months now. I just can’t bring myself to using snail stuff. *shutter*
“A light, fast-absorbing gel cream consisted 74% of snail mucus extracts which work to soothe and de-stress while moisturizing, nourishing, and firming the skin for a gentle, non-irritating blemish & wrinkle care.”
Elizavecca ~ Shrink Lifting R Pro 120ml ($28)
I love this product! It makes my legs feel so much better after sitting at work for HOURS. I like the smell too. 🙂
“Oil-based and non-sticky, Elizavecca Shrink Lifting R Pro is a cream for your swollen calves. It works to literally ‘shrink’ the size of calves by relieving stimulated skin and increasing skin elasticity & firmness. Its gentle yet effective formula consists of mandarin extracts, coffee extracts, sage oil, peppermint, winter green, and mate leaf extracts.”
Hair+ ~ Velvet Nutri-Injection 12ml ($5)
Sounds amazing, but the tube is tiny. I have long, thick hair and this may not be enough to try it.
“For all those damaged hairs out there, the Velvet Nutri-Injection is here to save the day! There’s absolutely no need to rinse after application. Simply apply it throughout your hair, especially the damaged ends, after towel drying, and experience results of a hair clinic program!”
RiRe ~ Style Black Head Brush Cleanser & Skinny Black Head Closing Serum 40ml/20/ml ($18)
This is a two-step program. I am so excited to try it. I have MEGA pores.
“Packed with black food complex – black rice, black beans, black sesame – rich in protein and iron, the Style Black Head Brush Cleanser effectively removes any oil, dirt, blackheads, whiteheads, dead skin cells, and skin impurities clogging up the pores and delivers improved firmness and skin elasticity by tightening up blackhead-less pores. Then, the Skinny Black Head Closing Serum provides the perfect 2nd step oil control and pore care for maintaining a well-balanced skin condition.”
When I first opened this box I thought MEH, but I actually really really love it. I’ll use all the products (ok not the snail stuff) and may even buy more in the Memebox store.
Leave it to K-Beauty to come up with interesting must have products. Except snail poo.
I paid for this box and all opinions are mine. ~D
Julep Maven ~ Boho Glam November 2014
I took a little break from Julep, but I’m back!
The November theme was “Friendsgiving”. Everyone gather ’round for a color combo seriously worth celebrating. We’re talking rich crèmes and elegant shimmers, metallic finishes meant for a special occasion, and all sorts of shades to make you feel the warm ‘n’ fuzzies.
“It’s The Friends You Can Call Up At 4 A.M. That Matter.. ~ Marlene Dietrich
I chose Boho Glam this month.
It’s the debut of Julep’s Go Big Volumizing Mascara. ($24) Looking for bombshell body? This mascara’s microcylinder brush is tapered to reach every last lash. The creamy formula volumizes, thickens, and curls without ever getting crunchy, flaky, or wearing away.
There is only once color choice right now, Black.
Sawyer ~ Boho Glam. Type metallic/chrome and described as Copper patina molten. Whatever it is I love it! It’s my new favorite shade.
Joanne ~ Boho Glam. Type Crème described as a Smoky plum crème. I love purple, but I’m not into matte finishes. I like shiny things!
*Add On*
Fazia ~ Bombshell. Type Shimmer YAY!! described as a Liquid garnet shimmer. love love love this shade!
So the mascara is MEH. I rarely get excited over mascara. I have a million of them thanks to sub boxes. I love my polishes this month though. 🙂
