Subscription Box Review

Everything that came in my Ipsy Glam Bag for October! Love the fun colors of the products!

 

So what is all this stuff? 

The bag for the month is really classy and pretty. There are three colored blocks of taupe, earth and navy.

Both the zipper pull and the inside of the bag are peach colored… giving it a little something else.

 

First up in my bag is this MOTD Perfect 10 Tapered Face Brush. This has a black handle with rose gold ferul. the bristles are synthetic and duo toned giving it a very pretty look. Will definitely use this.

 

Second in my bag for the month is the Tatcha Deep Cleanser, while this is a sample size it’s a generous sample! I love the packaging and after using this like the fine bit of grit that helps to exfoliate the skin. The scent of this cleanser is clean and fresh as well which is nice.

 

Next up in my bag is an item from Glow Recipe. This is their Banana Souffle Moisture Cream. While not the largest sample definitely a nice one. This would make a great PM moisturizer and the banana scent sets it apart.

 

Second to last in my bag is an Anastasia Beverly Hills Lip Gloss. The glitter is interesting and has a pretty purple shift and I’m a huge fan of the paddle applicator.

 

The final item in my bag is this sample sized mascara from Eyeko. While I have plenty of mascaras in the queue this will be one that I’m putting on the short list to try out!

 

So in summary

Presentation: Everything was packaged well and arrived to me perfectly in my bag from Ipsy

Quality: I am so thrilled with the quality of the products that were included in this month’s bag!

Curation: This is a nice assortment and a really good mix of both makeup and skincare items.

My first glimpse inside the pumpkin tea box from Sips By

Everything that came in my box from Sips by. This is a really fun collection that gives me all of those fall vibes.

 

So what is all this stuff? 

Our box insert, love the art

The reverse tells us a bit more about the box and gives us steeping instructions for various teas.

Every box from Sips by comes with disposable tea bags for the loose leaf teas that you’ll receive.

 

The first tea in our box comes from Tin Star Tea – a new to me brand. The flavor is Cinnamon Pumpkin Rose which sounds fantastic!

This tea includes; black tea, rooibos, cinnamon, clove, allspice, calendula, cardamom, ginger, rose, rosehips, cocoa nibs, maple and natural flavors. I can’t wait to give this a try.

 

There were also four circular bags of Pumpkin Spice Tea from Republic of Tea. I love the teas that Republic of Tea makes but I haven’t been able to try this one yet so I am excited.

 

Then we have Pumpkin Spice Tea from Thesaurus Tea. I just love their name and logo!

The reverse of this package includes ingredients as well as steeping instructions.

 

The final tea in this box is from Davidson’s and is their Herbal Pumpkin Spice Tea. This is a pretty large bag and I will tell you that I’ve loved every tea I’ve ever tried by them!

And again on the back we have steeping instructions as well as ingredients.

 

So in summary

Presentation: Everything is packaged well and arrived to me perfectly in my box from Sips by

Quality: I love the quality of the teas that Sips by includes in their boxes. It’s much better than anything you’d ever find in a store.

Curation: This pumpkin themed assortment is perfect for this time of year and gave me all those autumn feelings!

My first glimpse inside the Find Your Wings Box for October

Everything that came in my box from Find Your Wings. This is a really cute collection of items.

 

So what is all this stuff? 

 

The first item in the box is this iridescent pouch. The sequins on this are large enough that they almost give it a “feather” like effect. Belle really liked this and I think it will be perfect for the holidays coming up.

The back is silver foiled and goes really well with the front of the bag.

 

$11.99

Then we have the InstaCostume in the Boho Fawn style. This is a really cute kit that will give your kiddo an instant costume perfect for Halloween

This complete set includes instructions, stencils, brushes, face paint, powder and a headband to complete this cute look.

 

Then another month appropriate item that we received is this smashed pumpkin scented slimy bath burst. This smelled really good and Belle said she liked the way it worked too!

 

$10.99

Then we have the Magic Sequin Journal. Isabelle was really pumped about this because it matched her sneakers.

When you flip the sequins they have this silver shimmery look – which is really cool!

Inside the pages are lined.

 

The final item in our box for the month is definitely the coolest one in my opinion. This Sticker Lookbook gives you everything you need to create and display you won fashion designs.

Inside you have color swatches as well as characters.

There’s also stickers that you can color that will be used as colors for the various people / characters in the book

And this is where you’d put your one of a kind designs. I really like that this gives your kiddo the ability to be really creative and use their imagination!

 

So in summary

Presentation: Everything is packaged well and arrived to me in perfect condition in my box from Find Your Wings by Fashion Angels.

Quality: I feel like the items that come in these boxes is the perfect quality for young girls.

Curation: Perfect for October, this assortment was fun as well as useful and will keep those little minds active!

Subscription Box Review

My first glimpse inside the Misfits Market Box for October. It’s important to note that all the packaging is either recyclable, compostable or biodegradable!

 

So what is all this stuff?

First up in my box for the month are these six apples.

 

Then there are two cucumbers. I like to use these in salads or whatever strikes my fancy.

 

There were also two of these heads of lettuce included. Of course I’ll be using these in salads and additions to sandwiches and burgers.

 

I also received two bunches of rainbow chard and one bunch of regular chard. We love chard and sautee it up a lot like you would spinach. In fact all we add is garlic, salt, pepper and olive oil.

 

There were four orange bell peppers included in my box as well.

 

Now that it’s getting colder out we won’t grill these yellow squash like we would in the summer but they are still nice sauteed in a pan with a bit of salt, pepper and garlic.

 

There were six limes included in my box for this week. I actually used these to marinate a pork shoulder the other day and let me tell you that it turned out fantastic!

 

There were about eight carrots included in my box as well. I don’t remember selecting these but these will be great to add into to school lunches with a bit of dressing to dip them in.

 

Next in my box is this small head of red cabbage. I do not personally prefer cooked cabbage so I almost always use this is a salad! In fact it’s one of my favorite greens for salad.

 

Then there were two large red beets included in my box as well. As I always say I love these in a vinegar and sugar glaze!

 

I also received this medium sized acorn squash. This is my absolute favorite of all squash and is delectable when it’s roasted in the oven.

 

Finally in my box were six plum tomatoes on the vine. We’ve been using this various ways and the kids have even been snacking on them.

 

So in summary

Presentation: Everything was packaged well and arrived to me perfectly in my box from Misfits Market

Quality: I love that all the items in this box are non-gmo and organic! That’s always great to know

Curation: Considering I selected each of the items in my box I’d say that makes the curation excellent
