Memebox Special #40 Head-To-Toe  $26.00 OUT OF STOCK

Pamper yourself from head-to-toe with this collection of Memebox must-have beautifying goodies! This handy beauty box will do everything from repairing damaged hair to nourishing dry and aching feet, plus everything in between, for a newer, better you. *SMOOCH*

Milky Dress ~ Foot Essence Sweat Free 30ml Full Size ($22)

Camellia oil, green tea extracts, panthrnol, and black bean extracts work to remove any sweaty foul smell from your feet. It will leave them feeling soft and silky. It will also help prevent heat rash and itching.

I had to admit, I tossed this at my boyfriend right after I read about it. 🙂

Tosowoong ~ Micro Face Towel ($11)

ProYou ~ Body Scrub Peeling Emulsion, 150ml ($43)

This is a lotion-type body exfoliator enriched with various hydrating ingredients such as shea butter and vitamin E, which help protect the skin from losing its moisture level while the jojoba scrub gently rubs away all dead skin cells and skin impurities. Plus the plant complex consisting of rosemary, chamomile, green tea, and licorice extracts help to sooth and to strengthen the adaptability to different skin conditions.

This had me going until it said licorice extract. I highly doubt it smells of red licorice, but of black instead. YUCK! Afraid to even check.

Elizavecca ~ Milky Piggy Collagen Coating Protein Ion Injection, 50ml ($34)

Packed with ceramide 3, collagen extracts, bean protein extracts, and various plant extracts, this hair essence will deliver real protein and nutrition, and transform flaky, damaged straw ends to silky smooth hair. It will literally coat your hair with protein and moisture. All you need is a short 5 minute application because you doing need to was it off! Apply to dry hair.

Tosowoong ~ Time Shift Serum, 20ml ($41)

This Time Shift Serum is enriched with nutrition-rich fermented extracts, galactomyces ferments, small mucus extracts, bifida ferments, and various plant oils. It works to soothe and deeply moisturize your skin by creating a protective layer on top. Basically, this nourishing serum will fill your skin with intense hydration for a water-ful, glowing complexion.

So you want me to put moldy spit on my face? That’s what it sounds like to me. *shiver*

KSkin ~ Bulgarian Rose Premium Feminine Secret Cleanser, 200ml ($15)

OK I feel like a prude freak, but I giggled like a school girl at the description of this product AND the instructions. I’m not even going to share it. You’ll have to Google it. Even the direction part couldn’t finish. It started giggling and stopped. I’m going to have to Google it FROM HOME.

So basically this is a “Get rid of any funk” you have box. SERIOUSLY! I’m grateful and insulted at the same time. Who else got this box? What are your thoughts on it?

Birchbox Limited Edition: Vanity Affair

Just in time for holiday gifting (and well-deserved pampering), this dazzling new collection is filled with ways to decorate your vanity—and upgrade your stable of beauty essentials. Get your hands on a celeb favorite lip balm, a volumizing spray from hairstylist Serge Normant, and so much more.

Lip Factory
PRICE $22/month  (If you want to get your own I’d appreciate if you’d use my code. 385634)
Ships To: United States (free shipping), Canada ($4 additional shipping) & International ($10 additional shipping).

This month’s theme is:   “You Are Beautiful”

Frost Makeup Bag ($10.99)*actually it’s not a Frost bag like everyone else got. The bag says “Better Life” and upon further inspection the heart charm is scratched and has nics in it. I’m thinking they ran out and had to come up with something else. End result I got my bag NOVEMBER 10TH. :/

ModelCO LipGloss (Marshmallow) A pink shiny gloss with a mirror. (Not on my sheet, but possibly a replacement for the Frost lipgloss/stick I was supposed to get)

Michael Marcus Lipstick (LEE) ($24) I’ve had MM cosmetics before and didn’t really like them and this shade is horrible.

29 Reserves Lipstick (Ripe Rose) (Also not on my sheet, so I’m assuming it’s a bonus??)

Ofra Eyeliner ($13) Shade is Grapefull. I swatched it and it just looks black. I was hoping for purple. 🙁

deVine Lip Shimmers (Champagne / Bordeaux) ($8.95) With resveratrol, grapeseed oil, and red wine antioxidents. I can’t wait to try them out!

The card says the value of this month’s box is $72.93, but I know mine isn’t. I got a cheap bag, but no Frost bag or frost lippy. BUT I did get an extra lippy. Model Co and 29 Reserves were not on the sheet. Perhaps to make up for the lateness and substituted products?

I was mad at first and was going to contact the company, but I LOVE 29 Reserves Lipsticks and the ModelCO Marshmallow is cute. I’ve never had a late box or issues so I’m just going to let this go.

I paid for my box and all opinions are mine. Miz D

The KitNipBox crew is lead by CMO (Chief Meow Officer) Sylvester, the black cat. How cute is that? 🙂 He personally tries out  items to ensure their absolute purr-fection for kitties then, his minions create a box of unique items and ship it to your cat. YaY!

There are 3 subscription choices:

• Starter Box ~ $9 (1-2 items)

• Multi-Cat Box ~ $29 (6 or more items) Shipping is included for all boxes.

Here is what the kitties got in this month’s Happy Cat Box

Imperial Cat ~ Dangly Door Bouncer. A long, springy, bouncy and dangling from a doorknob, what cat can resist this fun toy!  Right after this pic was snapped Mimi grabbed the end and took off running.

Catnip Apple Slice

Loopies Mushroom filled with organic catnip.

John Paul Ear and Eye Wipe foil packet.

Smart N’ Tasty cat treats in Salmon. My cats LOVE these.

Mimi meows that this box is a winner this month. So do I.

I paid for this box and all opinions are from my cats.

Bulu Box helps you discover the health and fitness products that work best for you. With a monthly box, they deliver a variety of product samples to find the right products to help you reach your fitness or weight loss goals.

Price: $10/month free shipping.

This month I got the  following:

BiPro ~ Whey Protein Isolate ~ sugar free, carb free shake!
WellFood ~ Double Chocolate Paleo Cookie
Sleepy Beans ~ 5HTP, GABA, and melatonin for sleep. They actually helped!
Smarty Pants ~ Sugar Free Gummy Vitamins + Fiber.  I love this company!
Nuvia Cafe
Barleans CoQ10 Swirl Barleans has awesome flavors,
YouTheory Turmeric Advanced.  Get all the benefits without eating several tablespoons of turmeric per day.

Again just little samples. There really isn’t enough in them to get a good feel for the product. I would be happier with less samples at Deluxe Size then several tiny samples.

Normally, sub boxes come with a little information card. For their first box they opted to send a letter. It introduces us to the curator Kim, her reason for this subscription (which I am very thankful for) and details on your items.

Kim graciously sent me this box free for review purposes. THANK YOU! 😉

The background picture is actually super cute Pretty Young Thing palazzo pants. ($19.99) I was way off base when I shared my size (I’ve lost weight recently) so these are actually TOO big for me.  I didn’t quite know how to share them.

Sock Dreams ~ Doris Crochet Trouser Socks in Graphite ($11)

Anti Monkey Butt Powder sachet ($1) designed to help prevent chafing or “monkey butt”.

(2) Alomune sticks. (1.19) To help arm your immune system against the up coming cold & flu season.

“Kim’s Fave”

Wet n Wild Glitter Eye Shadow ($.99)

I’m not sure what to think of this box. Aside from XXXL pants that  I can’t wear (again, my fault) the rest is kind of MEH. I despise sachets/foil packets. The make up is one of the cheapest brands out there. The socks are cute, but I wouldn’t pay $11 for them.  I may have to see another box before I decide if I’m going to sub or not. I’m also going to keep in mind this is a brand new company and not everything is A+ in the beginning.

I was sent this box free, for review purposes. All opinions are 100% my own. ~MizD
