Subscription Box Reviews

Author Archive

KitNipBox is new in town! The 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)

Happy Cat Box ~ $19 (4 or more items)

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

My furkids purrsuaded me to get the Happy Cat Box.We loved the 4th of July themed wrapping. So much that Mac ripped it open and trotted off with some of the paper.

Included with the cat goodies was a thank you card and a separate sheet of paper that listed our items.

Inside the tissue was a huge navy blue organza bag that housed all the loot.

Bellrock Growers ~ Pet Greens Semi-Moist Cat Treats ($3.74)

A Patriotic cat pin. (must learn to take better pictures!)

Beadle Bop & Company ~ Taco Catnip Toy. Handmade with organic catnip. Mimi went nuts over these!

Laser Cat Toy ~ Always a hit!

Business Catual ~ $7.99  Blue bow tie made by a family-owned company in Portland Oregon. 9% of their profit goes to no kill animal welfare organizations. Ties are also made from recycled fabrics. Mac approves!

Multi-Colored  Pet Fur Weasel $3.99

Random felt toy with wooden whiskers. Why is it that the seemingly cheapest toys get all the attention? 🙂

Cat Dancer Whisker Chaser. Every cat owner that I know of swears by this toy. Uhh I’m a bad cat mommy. This is the first time my furkids have seen this. Not super impressed. WHEW!

Mac looking dapper in his tie.

Overall kitties and I were happy with this box. I feel it was a great value and I appreciate that several of the products were from small businesses/individuals.

I think it’s time for the kitties to get a job so they can continue to get this box.

I paid for this box, but all opinions are those of my cats Pandora, Lucien, Elvira, Mac & Mimi.

Memebox oh how you’ve sucked my wallet dry with your worldly wonders! Am I addicted? ME? *sigh* Yes.

This is one of their classic “Global” boxes, which contains a variety of products in an array of sizes. Global boxes are numbered (this one is #12) and cost $23 + $6.99 shipping.

Beauteque BB  Bag is new subscription service. They are A US-based company, based in New Jersey,with an “East meets West” philosophy. They source from the best products on the international market.  They are pre-releasing bags in July as test run for their official service launch in January. If I’m not mistaken, you can also order for September and November.

PRICE: $22 with free shipping, Canada (+$6), and Europe (+$8)

I’m not sure if this will the be norm, but for this bag I was able to choose the eyeshadow shade, hand cream flavor, mask flavor, and liner shade. Also, the Essie was a bonus gift.

BTW Beauteque was generous enough to send me this bag for review purposes.

The theme of this subscription seems to be global beauty. I’m loving the little ‘Passport’ theme of the information card.

The card has info on the products and a quick “how to use” for everything. This is quite handy since most of the products don’t have English instructions. Not that it’s hard to figure out how to use a mask. 😛

The bag is super cute! It’s satin and very sturdy. I’ll be using it for sure!

Beauteque Brush ~ ($10.50) Bamboo handle suitable for liquid, powder or cream.

Etude House ~ Drawing Eyebrow Pencil ($7) Dark Brown. This is a swivel-up design, with a brush at the other end. Thicker than any other brown brush I’ve had. I almost thought it was shadow.

Skinfood ~ Herb & Shea Butter Hand Cream. Umm I haven’t opened it yet. I was kind of bummed the flavor I wanted was sold out. (for each item you get to chose “flavors”)

Holika Holika ~ Face Mask ($3) Melon Pudding (moisturizing)

Essie (BONUS) SSSsssssssssssexy Magnetic polish. BEAUTIFUL burgundy shade. LOVE IT.

Beautique Mineral Eye Shadow ~ Divine Dubai ($10.99) A metallic/coppery brown.

(2) My Beauty Diary ~ Face Mask (1.99) I chose Strawberry Yogurt for oil control. It must be a bonus, but I got a second mask Arbutin? for Whitening.

This bag is fantastic and I can’t wait for the next one. I don’t even care if we get to choose “flavors”. As long as it’s along the same lines and these contents I’ll be a happy girl!

Beauteque was so kind to send me this bag for review. All opinions are mine and there are referral links in this post. ~D

“Defining Moments” is the theme for Beauty Box 5 in July. This is about celebrating the major milestones in your life.

PRICE:  $12.00 3 Month Subscription: $30.00 ($10.00 a month) 1 Year Subscription: $99.00 ($8.25 a month).

I’ve had this sub  for over a year now and through the ups and downs I’m glad I stuck with it.

Here is this month’s fabulous box. (Yes, I love this month too!)

HASK ~ Argan Oil Intense Deep Conditioning Hair Treatment.  ($2.49)There might actually be enough for all of my hair! I hope so. I can smell it through the packaging and it’s YUM!

Simy ~ Skin Anti Aging Skin Serum phase II ($11.83)<— NOT KIDDING. What’s even more shocking is that the teeny tube is only half full!

Revlon ~ Bold Lacquer Length & Volume Mascara ($7.99) Also comes with a $11 coupon. 🙂

Body Drench ~ Candy Licious Lips ($3.99) I got red licorice. It doesn’t seem to have a scent or taste, but it feels pretty moisturizing.

H2O Plus ~ Aqualibrium Marne Cleansing Gel  $1.20

Due to the screaming deal last month I have another box coming. I’m sooo exited. Did you take advantage of the freebie?

My July Julep Maven finally arrived! This month is WAY late, but… they warned us and gave extra jewels. I’m fine with that. I wasn’t too excited about this month’s box.

Summer is not a season. It’s a state of mind.

“The Poolside Collection” wasn’t for me. I didn’t skip though because I wanted to try the new Body Milk.

Modern Beauty

Bare Body Milk ~ Same scent as the Beach Tonic Dry Body Oil. Not a fan of the scent, but it feels amazing! It features  it features notes of light citrus bergamot, spicy carnation, and white musk.

Mint Condition Pedi Cream ~  A fast-acting foot exfoliator and moisturizer

ADD-ON

Bare Body Polish ~ An invigorating scrub that polishes away the rough stuff standing between you and smooth, beautiful skin. The creamy formula is packed with tiny spheres that exfoliate without scratching—and unlike salt and sugar scrubs, it doesn’t crumble under (water) pressure.

BONUS ~ two Tootise rolls. 🙂

I used to subscribe but due to finances I had to end it. Their look has changed since my last box. They now go through a different shipping company that allows them to ship chocolate in the summer! WOOOHOOO

Another change is their cards. Every month, Treatsie includes a card detailing the products included in that month’s box. They also include the total value of the box. Less math for me. 🙂

Here is this month’s goodies:

Salty Road ~ Vanilla Salt Water Taffy ($7)
