Quarterly Co. Digg Box Review October 2014

Two months later, I'm blogging about this box.  Digg curated the #DIB01 for Quarterly Co.  They tried to put something for everyone in this box.  It's a quirky box that I found quite interesting.

Kawaii Box Review November 2014

This is my last Kawaii Box for a little while.  You had to be home for delivery of this box, which my husband and I both work and it was difficult getting to the post office before closing to pick it up.  

Kawaii Box Review October 2014

Kawaii is a Japanese term for cute.  This box is called the Kawaii Box and ships from Japan.  It's full of cute kawaii items for $18.90 a month, free shipping.

Loot Crate Review November 2014

Loot Crate is a terrific company that sends boxes full of geeky surprises every month.  The price depends on which subscription plan you choose, but all are less than $20 a month.

This is the actual Loot Crate box.  They've been getting really creative with them the past few months.

Loot Crate Review September 2014

September's Loot Crate was themed 'Galactic' and was pretty much out of this world.  Loot Crate caters to nerds and geeks who appreciate a good video game, comic book, or sci fi movie.  It's less than $20 a month and is always a well planned box.

 Loot Crate Magazine Issue 14 ~ Inside this issue we learn a little more about Firefly and Loot Crate's video short, The Verse.

Beauty Box 5 Review October 2014

Beauty Box 5 is a subscription service that delivers 5 beauty products every month for $12.  You can also purchase other options, such as the 1-year plan for $99.

Loot Crate Review October 2014

I just spent $17.67 on 'Fear'!  It's only fitting that Loot Crate go with the theme, Fear, for the month of October.  Monthly crates are $19.37, but you can purchase long-term plans that lower your monthly cost.

Loot Crate Magazine Issue 15 ~ The blur isn't from my camera, it's a 3D image that's enhanced with the use of 3D glasses.  Great interview with Robert Kirkman inside.

Ipsy Review October 2014

I took the month of October off from blogging and now I'm finally catching up over Christmas break!  The October Ispy is themed "Beauty Candy".  I guess you could say all of the products are sweet!

Nerd Block Review November 2014

November's Nerd Block features some major characters.  This nerdy subscription service hails from Canada and is $19.99 a month, plus shipping.  I get this box for my son, but I love it just as much as he does.

Quarterly Co. GQ Box Review November 2014 #GQQ02

The Quarterly Co. box curated by GQ has exceeded expectations again!  This is a $100 box that is shipped every three months or so.  The value is over $120.  

 #GQQ02 equipped subscribers with essentials for upcoming holiday parties.  I liked GQ's concept for this box.  All of the items stuck to the coherent theme.  

Quarterly Co. Bill Nye Box Review December 2014 #NYE04

This is Bill Nye's fourth Quarterly Co. box.  His book, Undeniable: Evolution and the Science of Creation, was released last month.  In conjunction with the book, #NYE04 is themed around evolution.  

Nerd Block Review October 2014

Kevin Smith, please curate more Nerd Blocks!  Please!  Kevin's theme for the box is "Collide", Marvel vs. DC.  I loved my son's box.  He gets Nerd Block classic every month for $19.99, plus shipping.  Inside are awesome toys and collectables, as well as a t-shirt.

Beauty Box 5 Review November 2014

Beauty Box 5 is 'gracefully grounded' for November.  These goodies will add to your pampered routine and allow you to dance through your day!

Ipsy Review December 2014

Here is the last Ipsy for 2014!  December's cosmetic bag was a classy little black bag with a heart embellishment on the zipper.  The company took a moment to thank their customers for subscribing in 2014.

Loot Crate Review December 2014

December's Loot Crate theme is "Anniversaries" and they are celebrating Tetris, Ghostbusters, The Simpsons, and favored comic book creators.  Besides Loot Crate's creativeness, I really love their reliability and stability as a subscription business.  I've just been burned by two other subscription services who didn't have the business structure and partnerships Loot Crate does.

 Loot Crate Magazine No. 17 ~ Great interviews with Stan Lee and Josh Mirman inside!

Socialbliss Style Box Review December 2014

#TheStyleBox from Socialbliss is a monthly subscription service that delivers on trend accessories and beauty products.  Subscriptions start at $39.95, plus shipping.  There are other options for 3-month, 6-month, and 12-month subscriptions, which do save you money in the long run.

Ipsy Review November 2014

Ipsy is a popular beauty subscription service for $10 a month with free shipping.  This month "girl meets glitter" with my favorite makeup bag to-date.

 Laura Mercier Invisible Loose Setting Powder + Mini Fan Brush ~ I love Laura Mercier's Bonne Mine palette and am looking forward to trying this setting powder.  The brush was specifically designed to be used with the powder.  I liked how my skin felt after applying it - very soft.

Beauty Box 5 Review December 2014

Let's take a look at December's Beauty Box 5.  This month brings 5 beauty products that help make the holidays merry and bright.  

Walmart Beauty Box Review Winter 2014

I just received my second Walmart Beauty Box!  It is seasonal box that ships four times a year.  You only pay $5 each quarter!  I believe this box is all about staying moisturized throughout harsh winter weather conditions.

Nerd Block Review December 2014

This is what my son received this month in his Nerd Block Classic.  

Nerd Block Classic is $19.99 a month plus shipping.  Every box contains a t-shirt and other comic-con themed items.

Little Lace Box Review December 2014

As 2015 rings near, Little Lace Box equips us with some wonderful items that inspire us to conquer fear and do something extraordinary.  Once again, this box is beyond spectacular!  The total value for December's box is $147.21.  Monthly subscriptions are $39.99 with free shipping.

Each of the three sisters behind Little Lace Box added a personal favorite to the box, as well as a group choice.  If you want to stay up-to-date on LLB subscriptions, Like them on Facebook!

Socialbliss Style Box Review November 2014

 The Style Box from Socialbliss is a box I look forward to every month.  It's $39.95 plus shipping.  They do offer other subscription plans, which lowers the cost.  Socialbliss always send out a box with a value of at least $100.  I have been building quite a handbag collection since subscribing!

Quarterly Co. Nina Garcia Box Review November 2014 #NGQ04

The #NGQ04 from fashion expert Nina Garcia has arrived!  This box was curated with the idea of looking good while keeping warm.  Quarterly Co. offers this box for $100 and the approximate value of #NGQ04 is $260!

 I think this box has a very edgy feel to it and is perfect for those in their 20's and 30's.  Tell me your thoughts in the comments.

Little Lace Box Review November 2014

 If you have been contemplating ordering a subscription box, you should absolutely consider Little Lace Box.  In my opinion, this is the best box out there!  I loved November's box so much, I took it to work for a show-and-tell session!  (Coupon code at the end of this post!)

You need to like them on Facebook and stay in-the-know!  Click here to like them: I'm gonna like LLB on FB!

SporkPack Review October 2014

SporkPack is a fun box for those who enjoy their kitchens.  I'm taking a break from this subscription because I'm saving money for the holiday season.  Hopefully, I can renew my subscription after the holidays.  In every box is a combination of food and kitchen gadgets.  

Socialbliss Style Box Review October 2014

Last month I said I'd love to have a new wallet and scarf and Socialbliss delivered!  A month-to-month subscription costs $39.95, plus shipping.  They also have 3-month, 6-month, and 1-year plans that allow you to save a little money.  Once subscribed, you will get a box that values over $100 full of on-trend items that are fashion and beauty related.

Gizmo Crate Review September 2014

Here is my review of the September 2014 Gizmo Crate.  It was late, but I did prefer this month over last month's box.  Gizmo Crate sends technology related gadgets and foodie items for as low as $29 a box.  They have been in a shipping and communication slump lately and I'm hoping they can pull themselves out of it because there is a high demand for this type of box.  

Little Lace Box Review October 2014

Little Lace Box is officially my FAVORITE subscription box!  This is my third box and I have loved everything in all three boxes!  October's theme is "Accessories for That Night Out".  There are two subscription options to choose from: monthly or yearly.  The monthly subscription is $39.99 and a yearly subscription is $383.90 (a savings of $95.98).  Both choices include free shipping!  

iDiscoverBox Review September 2014

I'm acquiring quite the collection of cell phone covers!  This month I received 2 phone cases and a pair of earbuds from iDiscoverBox.  My subscription plan lets me get 3 items for my cell phone every month for only $9.99!

 Metallic Red Hard Plastic Case ~ I received this case in my June box, but I will give it to my daughter's friend who has a Note 3.  It does look better in person than in the picture.

SporkPack Review September 2014

If you enjoy cooking and unique foods, you should try SporkPack.  For as little as $25.84 a month, you can receive a kitchen gadget and/or cooking essential and a number of treats to enjoy.

 September's menu features two handy kitchen utensils and two snacks.  The total value for this box is  $44.21 and I paid $28.34.  I'm pleased with the value of this box.

Little Lace Box Review September 2014

If you don't get this box, you are missing out!  Little Lace Box has been my favorite subscription box for the past two months!  I initially subscribed thinking it would be a beauty & accessory box, but it's soooo much more than that!  There's a coupon code at the bottom!

 The information page is personalized with my name and is very eye appealing.  This month's theme focuses on home entertaining and embodies a Sassy and Spirited Soiree.  There are plenty of pictures, tips, and tricks to help subscribers host the ultimate cocktail party.  What's even better, you can order any of these products in the LLB Store!

Quarterly Co. Bill Nye Box Review September 2014 #NYE03

The long-awaited Bill Nye Quarterly box has been released!  #NYE03 is a great mixture of science, global & climate awareness, and fun.  

 Bill's letter states that inside we'll find things that harness nature's power and sheds light on how to live green.  Let's see what he means!

Socialbliss Style Box Review September 2014

It's so much fun getting purses in the mail, and that's why I love The Style Box from Socialbliss.  #TheStyleBox leads us into fall with bold colors, shapes, and trends.  Socialbliss offers several different subscription options from month-to-month to a one-year subscription.  The longer you subscribe, the more you save.   

Quarterly Co. Melissa Joulwan Box Review September 2014 #EAT01

I'm a paleo impostor!  I know very little about the paleo diet, but thought that Melissa Joulwan's Quarterly Co. box would be the perfect introduction.  #EAT01 contained 5 food items and a really nice kitchen tool.  

 Has the infographic replaced the traditional Quarterly curator letter?  I love this concept!  The front briefly explains each item in the box.

Walmart Beauty Box Review Fall 2014

Did you know Walmart has a seasonal subscription box?  Well, they do!  Released each season, the Walmart Beauty Box is packed with beauty products and samples for your age range.  The best thing is that you only pay $5 shipping for the box.  Since I've seen variations of the fall box, I'm assuming they're packaged by age like the website states.  I'm 37 if that helps as you read this.  I found all items online at www.walmart.com and listed the full-sized price from Walmart's website. 

Nerd Block Review September 2014

Once again Nerd Block has not disappointed!  This month's Classic box had a great shirt and other awesome items.

Gizmo Crate Review August 2014

No, I'm not late posting this.  I just received the August Gizmo Crate today, the 20th of September.  Apparently the company relocated this month to a larger warehouse and experienced a tragedy amongst the staff.  Let's hope they can get September's box out in ten days.

 Gizmo Crate is a subscription service that sends out gadgets and foodie items each month.  A monthly subscription is $39, a 3-month subscription is $105, a 6-month subscription is $192, and a year's worth of Gizmo Crates is $348.

Kawaii Box Review September 2014

We subscribed to another kawaii service!  This one is called Kawaii Box and sends 10 - 12 kawaii items from Japan and Korea.  It's $18.90 a month, shipping included.  

Beauty Box 5 Review September 2014

I always get something I LOVE in my Beauty Box 5!  This month is no exception.  At only $12 a month, $30 a quarter, or $99 a year, you have to get on board with this company.

This month Beauty Box 5 acknowledges the balancing act that all great women must do.  No matter what you must balance, always make sure there is time for yourself.

Ipsy Review September 2014

 It's the September Ipsy!  This month we are talking Street Style.  My bag contained goodies for my eyes, lips, face, and hands.

Quarterly Co. Unclutterer Review September 2014 #UCL05

I'm a sucker for a great Quarterly Co. box!  This is my first Unclutterer box and I'm really happy with it.  This subscription is $50 ever quarter, which included free shipping.

 My #UCL05 contained one item.  However, this is a very essential item to have at home or in your car.  According to the letter, the writer experienced an infection which turned out to be very bothersome and expensive.  Had she taken the time to treat her wound at home, the infection would have been prevented.  Hence, the shipment of the Quarterly Co./Unclutterer exclusive Premium First Aid Kit!

 First Aid Kit ~ Everything you need for minor injury treatment at home!  This sturdy metal case has a handle that makes it convenient to transport.  Inside are bandages, gauze, compresses, eye patches, cold patches, tape, antibiotic cream, and more.  

 The contents of this kit are listed inside the lid.  Since I have no medical background, this is very nice to have.  There is also a wallet card that details a variety of first aid instructions.

I find this kit to be well organized and very useful.  It definitely beats my cluttered shoebox of random, outdated first aid supplies!  Can't wait for my next Quarterly Co. box!

Kawaii Monthly Review September 2014

Our package from Chiba, Japan is here!  This may be our last Kawaii Monthly review.  My daughter no longer wants this box, so I will probably cancel her subscription.  Kawaii Monthly is $18.99 a month, shipping included.  There are always five items inside that reflect kawaii cuteness and beauty.

I love that Kawaii Monthly includes a description of each item.  This is so helpful, considering we aren't sure what a lot of the items are.

Kawaiiness Kawaii Box Review September 2014

We just can't get enough Kawaii at our house!  Our adorable box of goodies arrived today.  This package comes from www.gokawaiiness.com and is called the Kawaiiness Kawaii Box.  It's $20.00 with shipping included.  I've been very impressed with the shipping of this box.  So far, she has mailed at the beginning of the month and continues shipment throughout the month as orders come in.

 This is not a recurring shipment.  You must order each month or buy a 2-month or 3-month plan.

 Cute Mini Erasers ~ These fruit-shaped mini erasers make mistakes fun.  Girls love using fun erasers at school.  I'm sure I'll have no problem finding someone to reward these to.

 Rilakkuma Stickers ~ Rilakkuma is a popular kawaii character.  This set has two sheets of stickers just waiting to decorate notebooks and folders!

 Vitamin Ballpen ~ This is a fun novelty item.  It's shaped like a vitamin capsule but opens up to a retractable ballpoint pen!  Once retracted, it holds its shape well.  I think the cute face at the end of the pen will help make writing checks a little easier.

 Hello Kitty Sanrio License Re-Ment ~ Re-ment is a Japanese toy company established in 1988.  They currently sell a line of miniature food, furniture, and animal figures, as well as cell phone charms, doll fashions, and magnets.  We got a cell phone charm.  It resembles a snow cone treat, but the ice is shaped like Hello Kitty's face.  Maybe we can use it as a zipper pull on Olivia's backpack.

 Yan Yan ~It's a treat from Meiji - Yan Yan choco-hazelnut biscuit snack.  This snack combines crispy cracker sticks with a smooth hazelnut-chocolate dip.

 Glam Ponytail Holder ~ This is not your ordinary ponytail holder.  It's very sparkly and fun!  I think this color will look great in my daughter's hair!

 Kawaii Leopard Bracelet ~ I can't believe the last two Kawaiiness Kawaii boxes came with jewelry!  This is a simple cord bracelet with enough detail to dress up any wrist.  

 Bunny Plush Charm ~ My daughter loves this and the jumbo squishy.  The eyes on the bunny are actually really cute and remind me of the La La Loopsy dolls.  

 Hello Kitty Sweets Cafe Jumbo Squishy ~ Squishies are so much fun!  This one is shaped like Hello Kitty's head, but looks like a donut with sprinkles.  It feels extra squishy.

Comment your thoughts on this box below.  This is the 2nd month for the Kawaiiness Kawaii Box and I have been happy with both boxes.  We love squishies and snacks!  

I purchased this month's box for $18.00.  It was on sale for Labor Day.
