GlossyBox Unboxing-- July 2013

This will be my last GlossyBox review for now!  :/  My 3 month subscription from my birthday is officially over.  :(  I really enjoyed last month and this months boxes and might see about subscribing again in the future!  :)

GlossyBox is $21.00 a month and there are discounts if you do a 3, 6, 12 month plan.  :)  They also have limited edition boxes that you can buy on an individual basis.

On to the good stuff!

I really love the boxes that GlossyBox sends!  :)  They are so pink and so cute!  I still have all 3 of my boxes and am planning on using them for storage for all my beauty finds!  :)  This months box is "Grand Bleu" it's all beach themed!  Perfect for the Florida weather!  :)

There are usually 5 products in each box...  There was a bonus item this month!  Woot!  :)

Brazilian Blowout Acai Deep Conditioning Masque ($5.00)  Excited to try this! :)
Bvlgari Eau Parfumee the Blanc Shampoo and Shower Gel ($6.18)  This smells so good!

Dr Brandt BB Matte with Signature Shinerase ($9.75)  I am excited about trying this! I am still working on a skin routine!

Figs and Rouge Cherry Blossom Tinted Lip Balm ($9.00) This smells WONDERFUL!!!  I can't wait to wear it!
Nails Inc Baker Street Nail Polish ($3.80)  I love geting nail polish!  This is a new brand to me too!  :)

Nicka K New York Absolute! Make-Up Cleansing Tissues ($1.17)  BONUS ITEM!  Woot woot!  :)

Paid: $15.00
Value: $34.90! 

I really liked everything in the box!  I love getting nail polish in boxes!  And the make-up cleanser and the BB matte are going to be experiments to see how my face takes them!  lol.  And the lip gloss is wonderful!  So a great box all around!  :)  My only complaint about GlossyBox is the fact that out of 3 months I only got one box in the month I was supposed to!  I got July's box today (August 1).  So they seem to ship willy nilly.  Other than that, this box is a winner!  :)

Seventh Generation Review (Smiley360)

Thank You, Smiley360 for the chance to review these Seventh Generation products!  :) 

 

 

 

First of all, I am NOT a lotion person.  :/  But for review purposes, I used and tried these lotions.  :)

 

 

I tried the Manderin body wash and got 2 uses out of it.  I liked the clean feeling, but I didn't like the fact that there wasn't really a scent to it.  I like body wash with a scent because I don't use lotion. 

 

The lotion was Lavender scented and I also got 2 uses out of it.  I really liked the scent and it did leave my skin soft.  Rick said that he liked the scent too!  :)

 

My favorite thing for Mom that they sent was the Manderin facial wipe!  It was AWESOME!  I wish they had sent more than one!  Since I am getting older (29 in a week, YIKES!) my face is changing...  It feels much more oily and I don't like it!  :(  But after using this my face felt awesome!  I am totally going to purchase more of these this weekend!  :)

 

Eli used the Baby wash.  It had no scent, which is ok for the kids.  :)  I got one use out of his sample.  He said that he liked it and I think that it left him pretty clean.  :)

 

Eli didn't like the lotion (sensory issues!) so I used the lotion on Jack.  I got one use of out it. Jack seemed to like it.  There was really no smell to this lotion, again ok for the boys!  :)

 

I used the laundry soap on the boys laundry and got one use out of it.  The soap worked great and I really liked the way the clothes felt when they came out of the laundry!  :)

 

Over all, I am impressed by most of the Seventh Generation products!  They seem to be really awesome for a green, clean home!  I would have liked to try some of the other cleaning products, but I guess I will have to try them out another time!  :)

 

I give Seventh Generation an A!

Citrus Lane April Box (3.5 year old boy)

Ok!  So this is our monthly subscription to Citrus Lane.  We have been subscribing to CL for a little less than a year.  It has been pretty great!  They have changed things lately and now go from 0-5!  Woot Woot!  They also don't have themes anymore so they just send random items.  This months box was outta the ballpark so we were really happy with it!

 

 

The box that Eli loves!  :)

This is the card that comes in the box explaining all the items.

First up is the Melissa and Doug Wooden Baby Zoo Animals Stamp Set.
We bought a family pass to the zoo so you KNOW Eli loved this!
Plus who doesn't love stamps?!?!
($6.99)

This is the Innobaby Keepin Fresh box.
It will be good for Eli's snack at school. :)
($4.00)

This is an oogaa silicone placemant. 
Eli likes the little animals on it... 
I think Jack might get more use out of this though!
($8.99)

And lastly...  Honest Co. shampoo and body wash!
This was what I was most excited about in this box!
I love the idea behind the Honest Co and can't wait to try this out!

 Over all this box was AWESOME!
I paid about $21.00 for the box (have a year subscription)
Box is worth $29.93
