Girl Woman Lady Box ~ November 2013
Girl Woman Lady Box is a monthly subscription service.
It’s all about you!
A fairly new way to discover and bring new & exciting products into your everyday lifestyle.
GWL offers monthly subscription boxes for girls, women and ladies with carefully chosen products that are unique, cool & exciting…all delivered to your front door!
A mix of different beauty, food and innovative products (anything from books, soaps, make-up, apparel, food, snacks, etc.). All in full size and/or trial sizes for your enjoyment.
There are two different Subscription options: Month-to-Month, 3 Months or a one-time only purchase (great for gift giving).
Each box is only $24.99 and has a retail value of up to 3-4 times that cost!
Here is the box I was sent for the month of November.
BONUS: handmade heart key holder
PH Thrive/Mineral Drops (2)
Colormates/Foundation Bruch
Pentel/Wow Pen (doesn’t work)
Ultra Balm foil packets.
TrueBar/ Coconut cashew
Raw Snacks/Snack Bar
Extra Peppermint Gum
Just Good Stuff Lip Balm
Acure Organics Body Wash (only thing I love in this box)
Wall Creati0ns Art “Life is Beautiful.”
I have to be honest. I have mixed feelings about this box. For a first attempt it’s great, but if they want to keep subscribers they’re going to have to step it up a notch. It just seemed thrown together. There was no theme, the products chosen felt random.
I’m curious to see what next month brings before I make a commitment.

True Beauty Box ~ November 2013
I decided to give True Beauty Box a try. They offer all natural beauty products. There are two options:
Veganista $30 (every other month)
Indulge $49 (every other month)
I went with Veganista
Benecos lipstick “Rose Love”
True ~ Anti-Aging Rose Night Cream
Lavera ~ Restoring Day Cream
Lavera ~ Cooling Eye Roll On
Benecos ~ Day Cream
I must say that even though I realize “natural” products cost more, I still feel I didn’t get my money’s worth. *shrugs* I’ll give it another month.

Sample Society ~ November 2013
November’s Sample Society is about “Winter Wonders”
“Colder temps = Haute looks. We’ve handpicked the best smoothing, hydrating, and brightening solutions to keep your style nothing short of gorgeous as the season kicks in. Chilly out there? Curl up with a perfect candle.”
The Price: $15 a month
The Products: Deluxe and full-size beauty and makeup samples. (Each month you also get a $15 off $50 to use on any order containing a product from any of the brands in your box).
Borghese ~ Splendore Brightening Makeup.
Murad ~ Anti-Aging Acne Pore & Line Minimizing Hydrator
Illume ~ Balsam & Cedar Metallica Tin Candle
Jane Iredale ~ Lip Drink Lip Balm
Annick Goutal ~ Eau d’Hadrien Eau de Toilette.
Mugler Addict ~ November 2013
Mugler Addict is a new subscription box from Thierry Mugler! I absolutely adore his fragrances and now I’m super excited he has a box!
Mugler Addict is a quarterly box and only $50 per year. That’s only $12.50 a box.
WOMANITY ~ perfumed Body Cream
ANGEL ~ Liqueur de Parfum Creation 2013 LIMITED EDITION
ALIEN ~ Liqueur de Parfum Creation 2013 LIMITED EDITION
ALIEN ~ Eau de Parfum
ANGEL ~ Perfuming Hand Cream
BONUS: Angel Nail Polish
Not as exciting as the first box, but still wonderful!
Julep Maven ~ November 2013
November’s Julep Maven theme is “Right at Home” and featured a full line of lip glosses and nail polishes. I went with Modern Beauty this month. It featured a Blank Canvas Pumping Lip Primer and a sheer nude gloss. None of the polish colors grabbed me except one, that was an add on choice.
“There is no place like home” ~ Dorothy
I added on Chloe ~ It Girl Sheer/Frost/Pearl
Our Bonus was Luxe Repair Skin Serum
If you’re interested in signing up for Julep Maven, you can get your first box free by entering the code “FREEBOX” during checkout. You are free to cancel at anytime, but my favorite aspect of the Maven program is that each month you are able to preview your box and you may choose to skip any given month to avoid paying for that month’s box. The program is pretty much risk-free. I’ve been a very happy subscriber since the program launched.
