Madame Ladybug Pamper Me Ladybox is a new T.O.M box. This is from their blog.

“How many of us women at one point or another have wished for pads, tampons, and chocolates to magically just appear at their doorstep when Mother Nature causes an uproar of emotions, hormones, and a whole lot of unwanted symptoms. Well your wish is our command! Madame Ladybug is that magical experience that will take that time of month and turn it into an event that you will continue to look forward to. Each month we will send you a Ladybox, filled with all the necessities you will need to survive your period, not with a frown but with a SMILE. We do not consider ourselves a tampon delivery service, because our job doesn’t just end after the products have been delivered to you. Our job is to support you and encourage you until your cycle ends. Madame Ladybug is a special catering service for women; when they are at their most vulnerable, emotional, and hormonal place. Give us the privilege to serve you!”

I’m all about the limited edition or mystery boxes, but something’s got to give. My Muse Box is a new sub that launched last month. They are bi-monthly. Not having patience to wait until December for my my next box I thought I’d splurge and get their Spoil Me Pretty The Limited Edition Box. It was/is $49.99.

This box promised “Your Personal Concierge delivers luxury brands to your doorstep. 5 to be exact.

When I opened my box and saw it was gold, not black my mood lifted and it felt promising. OH and I got a cute red heart bracelet promised to the first 50 who signed up for ANY sub. The picture showed black though. Oh well. I was feeling pretty special.

 

Here is what was supposed to spoil me…

Derma Organic ~ Facial Moisturizer. Oil/Fragrance free. 1oz bottle

Beautisol ~ Tea Tan Glow Instant Tan, wash off body bronzer with Tea extracts. (not pictured) A glove to perhaps exfoliate or apply the bronzer?  4oz bottle

Dermalogica ~ Age Reversal Eye Complex 0.5 UF fl oz

Also as promised Dior ~Vernis Dior Addict in Rose Energy. Looks like watered down Pepto Bismol.

The two foil packets and the Prada tube were duplicates of the October box.

After going through this box I’m not feeling spoiled. I’m feeling ripped off! I don’t have a use for ANY of these products. The bracelet could have come from a $$ store. Google can’t locate the Dior. I think it’s safe to say I’m done.

Has anyone else ordered this?  What are your thoughts?

SESHA ~ Rejuvenating Anti-Wrinkle Mask. $9

TARTE ~ Lights, Camera, Flashes Statement Mascara. $23 (I just love the gold faux snakeskin packaging!)

FRESH ~ Lotus Youth Preserve Face Cream, travel size .5 oz $12

BALANCE ME ~ Shine On Tinted Lip Salve in Super Soft Beige $16.50 It might just be me, but it tastes and smells minty. 🙂 LOVE IT!

BVLGARI ~ Eau Parfume’ The’ Vert Eau De Cologne. 5 ml $5.75 I’m just not a BVLGARI fan. I don’t think there is anything of theirs that I’ve liked the smell of.

 

 

Aside from the PEWfume, I love the rest of this box and can’t wait to use it all up! 🙂

I paid $21 for over $70 worth of FAB products and highly recommend it to you all as well.

 

Here is another NEW subscription box for me. Lip Factory, Inc.  If you’re looking for boxes that only send out full size items, I definitely recommend this one. Also of you’re a lipstick/gloss junkie like me, this is perfect! 🙂

PRICE: $22 a month

PRODUCTS: Full sized makeup and beauty products.

This month’s theme is Welcome The Fall.

 

 

 

Be Fine ~ Warming Clay Mask Packet with Cardamom, Arnica & Pomegranate. $2

Alcone ~ Make-Off Remover Cloths. Professional Make-up remover for eyes, face & lips. $ .50 (not on card)

J.Cat ~ Roll It Up Automatic Lip Liner. RAL109 $2.49 (not on card)

Dew ~ Grape see age protecting lip gloss. Sparkling Pinot. $24

Palladio ~ Beauty Baked Blush. Blushin’ $7

Michael Marcus ~ Cake Eyeliner. Kohl $20

Michael Marcus ~ Lip Gloss ~ Cranberry $22

I came up with a value of $73.40 for the October Lip Factory Beauty Kit and that’s not even including the two items that weren’t on the card!!  This is a crazy great value. And if I am not mistaken (and I may well be), next month should be an “All About the Lips” month, which they do 3x/year and is always a great box! So I’ve read.

I’m loving this box and can’t wait until next month!

I paid for this box and all opinions are mine.
