Subscription Box Reviews

Birchbox, which is $10/month offers 4-6 hand-picked beauty and lifestyle samples, delivered to your door each month.

The theme for Birchbox in June is “Away We Go!” and included travel-ready samples, on-the-go inspiration and much more.  I received box #2 this month which contained the following items:

Dr. Hauschka ~ Body Wash. Sunflower seed and avocado oils work to maintain skin’s moisture balance, while quince seed and plant surfactants create a lightweight lather to wash away dirt and impurities without drying.

Evologie® ~ Stay Clear Cleanser. To banish blemishes without washing away the protective oils that the skin naturally produces, we turn this non-drying formula.

Paula’s Choice ~ RESIST Barrier Repair Moisturizer with Retinol. This wrinkle-fighting moisturizer gives a rejuvenating boost to our daily beauty regimen: It delivers much-needed moisture, evens tone, firms skin, and reduces the appearance of fine lines.

Cynthia Rowley ~ Beauty Creamy Lip Stain. i Actually love this shade!

Catherine Malandrino ~ Style de Paris – 3.4 oz. This scent from fashion designer Catherine Malandrino hits all the right notes with a playful yet sophisticated oriental fragrance mixed with fun fruits (think: Italian Mandarin, ruby red grapefruit, and Nashi pear). I’ve yet to open this.

Not a bad box. I’ll more than likely trade most of it besides the Lip Stain an the Dr H.

I paid for this box and all opinions are mine. there are affiliate links in this post. ~D

PRICE: $22.79

The website doesn’t allow shipping to the United States but you can e-mail them at cs@glamabox.com and they’ll hook you up! Tell them Denise Rivera sent you. 🙂

Here is what the inside of the insert looks like.

Along with several inserts detailing products you also get coupons! Being that I can’t order off the website, I’m not sure how I’d use them.

Saffron Rouge Inner Circle is a natural beauty subscription service. It’s actually Inner Circle from the beauty site Saffron Rouge.

PRICE: $24.99 Ships to: US, Canada

I got a cute little  package of deluxe samples from various organic beauty brands. Inside the box was a pamphlet describing all the goodies inside. I also received a discount code to save on full sized versions from the package. I will definitely be using this!

W3LL People ~ Bio Extreme Lip Gloss FULL SIZE! Value $21.50. I might have loved this, but I read star anis is one of the ingredients. ICK Dare I try it? Maybe the spearmint will override it?

ilike ~ Organic Skin Care Lemon Cleansing Milk .5 oz Value $3 I’m really liking ilike products!

The Body Deli ~ Coconut Creme Lotion  2 oz Value $7 THIS is what I’m using my discount code one. It smells so NATURAL and fresh.

Petbox is a pet subscription box, that introduces people to fun and healthy new pet products every month. There are boxes for both dogs and cats. You can pick your items or be surprised.

Petbox kindly sent me this Cat Edition for my cats to review.

PRICE: 1 Month $39.00 3 Months $37.00 6 Months $35.00 (save 23%) 12 Months $29.00 (save 31%)

The contents of the box were wrapped in a sheet of black tissue and sealed with this sticker… TOO CUTE!

I didn’t get a card listing the products.  I wonder if that was an oversight?  Anyway, here is what the furkids got:

The Honest Kitchen ~ Smittens $13.95 Wild Haddock and very fishy smelling. Of course they were gobbled up straight away!

Twigo ~ Pet ID Tag $9.99 It’s covered up, but this actually comes with a pen so you can personalize this tag.

Natural Balance ~ Perfect Bites $4.87 Salmon Formula. This will be another favorite, I can already tell.

From The Field ~ Bella’s Blissful Hemp Pouch $6.75

BioPel ~ Natural Flea & Tick Spray $5.96 You can use this on humans!

Cat Toy Pack $12.85  Mac loved the mouse and Lucien loves the antler on a stick.

The inside of the box has a place for you to put your pet’s name and favorite item of the box. Umm THE BOX is Mac’s favorite item/part. 🙂

I almost forgot! PetBox feeds a rescue animal for each box shipped, and partners with a variety of shelters and rescue programs to care for neglected animals throughout the country.

Get yours today!

I got this box for free in return for my review. ~D

This MEMEBOX comes with the most perfect make-love-happen-now beauty products that will get you all polished up for a night you’ll never forget!

PRICE: $23 + $6.99 shipping (one-time charge)

This is sold out, but MEMEBOX is notorious for restocking popular boxes so keep checking back!

Aromalab ~ Ever Essence Designer Fragrance Oil ($34) The information card listed this as “American Pheromone Woman Type 01″ *giggle* I guess American women have different Pheromones? It smells nice. It smells sweet,  fruity and very vanilla. I’ll totally use this!

Eyelash+ Laboratory Lashes (5 pairs; $5) I got BBB15 “Natural Angel” SUPER cute, but kind of long. It will be interesting to see how they go on.

Hope Girl ~ Milky Balm Lipstick ($25) Red Burgundy. Of course for a “sexy” box they have to give REDs. Oh well.

Hope Girl ~ Powdery Body Perfume ($49) The scent (which I can’t smell) is Sweety Bloss0m. I like how it looks purple, but I’m yet to open it. I’m worried it’s going to fly everywhere! I also can’t figure out how to open the lid to get the puff out. I think there is a puff there???

Secret Romance ~ Hair Perfume ($39) Scent “Lovely” This is another pheromone product that I’m totally in love with. It’s supposed to nourish and increase hair strength and manageability in addition to making you irresistible. 🙂

WOW the  value of this box is $152 and I only paid $30 (that includes shipping) MEMEBOX continues to impress and amaze me. I can’t wait until my next box!
