Binkabox August 2013

So this is a new box to us!  I ordered a 6 month subscription for Jack.  :)  I wanted to get him something considering all of us get something!  :) 

Binkabox is cool!  You can order 3 different boxes the Starter box (1-2 products), Binkabox (3-4 products) or Premium (5-6 products).  And the prices range from $9-$32 depending on which box you choose and if you do monthly payment or buy a longer sub!  I love that there is such a low price!  I really miss the way Bluum used to be and I love that this is not totally like that (no samples) but offers a smaller box!  :)

We choose the 6 month plan Starter box for Jack.  Plus I used a code (BINKA) for 10% off so got it for even cheaper than $9 a month!  Woot woot!

 

Loved the box!  It's really small but was jam packed!  :)

Classy Lil' Sprout Bowtie ($12.00)  CUTENESS!  I can't wait for a day for Jack to wear this!  :)

Finger Puppets ($7.50)  Handmade and perfect for Eli to play with Jack!  :)

Paid $8.59

I am really excited about this little box for Jack!  I really like the first 2 items they sent!  Can't wait for September to see what comes!  :)

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! :)

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!  :)

May Little Book Club Unboxing

Soooooo....  We got a month subscription to The Little Book Club in May.  I bought a deal through Plum District for a one month sub for only $11.70!  Great price considering normally a month costs $25.00.  :)  When I first heard about this sub box, I REALLY wanted it to be great!  I am a book fanatic!  Eli and Jack have ALL KINDS of books already!  lol.  :)  The May box theme for a 3.5 year old was Dogs and Cats....  Right up Eli's ally!  :)

 

The box is super cute!  I really loved the color and the label!  :)

 

 

I also LOVED that they included a personalized envelope for Eli!  He recognizes his name now and loved seeing it in print! 

The three books that came were Skippy jon Jones ($6.99), Harry the Dirty Dog ($6.99) and Tumford the Terrible ($16.99).  Two were soft cover and one hard cover.  We didn't have any of these so that was great!  :)

I paid $11.70 for a month subscription and we recieved $30.97 worth of books!  Totally worth it...

BUT....

There were MANY problems with the shipping on this.  First of all, I placed my order the first week of May and my order didn't ship till the last week of May.  :(  And then I recived the shipping notification about a week before the books actually shipped!  :(  So this sub box is a no go for us...  :(
