Petit Vour September 2013

Petit Vour is a monthly subscription of beauty boxes that include samples that are vegan and cruelty free. The box costs $15 a month and if you are interested you can find them here: http://www.petitvour.com/collections/frontpage

This was my first box- the September 2013 box

These are pics of the box, first looks and the

card enclosed with the box.

This was a real first look...the box was packed with full size items, not something I was expecting.

This is the backside of the card explaining 

what is in the box.

There were 3 tea bags from a cruelty free 

tea company ...not something I was 

expecting and I had more tea than I could 

drink in years...but still it still isn't a bad to have in the box.

These hair samples would be great but 

it doesn't show ingredients so I can't tell if I can use it 

in my hair :( I will gift this to someone.

This Chai Vanilla soap smells amazing! I have 

a friend that I know would love this but I kind 

of want to keep it for myself! I really like and and it's full size :)

These were lip gloss samples for six different

 colors - I loved that they gave multiple 

samples and this little book was so cute!

I love this color and that there was another

 full size item in the box!

Well that was everything in the September 

2013 box- I was pleasantly surprised with

 everything! So far I love this box!!

Beneful Healthy Smile Line

I am a huge fan of free samples - www.freebieking.com is one of my favorite sites to go on to search for samples. They even send out an updated list of samples every day in an email. One of the samples I requested was for Beneful's new line of dog treats. I was expecting a small sample bag but what I recieved was:

Much larger than what I expected and the following was inside the box:

Two sample treats bags with two small chew sticks in each and a sample of dog food. My pups haven't had the food yet but they tried both treats and were big fans!

They are used to mommy getting things in the mail now and they have begun to figure out when the packages are for them :)

There also were coupons included for future purchases :)

Allure Sample Society September 2013

So I have been terrible at getting to reviewing all of the boxes that purchased.  To be honest, I ordered too many!  I got a little excited about the whole subscription box idea and purchased away!  I've since cut down on some of the subscriptions I started but Sample Society will never be one of the subscriptions I do away with!  Every month I love what they send me! 

Allure Beauty Bar Sample Society is a monthly subscription that sends out 5 samples per month for $15 per month.  You can find them here : http://www.beautybar.com/ and click on the sample society link.

This was the first box I received:

This is the box it ships in - pretty cute actually

This is the box inside the box - also a nice box, pretty study also

This is a first look - you also recieve a free mini version of allure in each box

This is a real first look once you move the product card and magazine out of the way 

This is the product card explaining everything in the box

A shot of the cosmetics

Ok first item up...a head band from Deepa Gurnani. I really like this headband, although I am a fan of anything that sparkles. It fit nicely also, I wasn't expecting an accessory and I really liked the addition of this item! There is no price on product card.

Took a pic of me with it on...not a lovely shot of me but you get how it looks

MD SolarSciences Evening Repair Serum 

I loved the idea of this in the box and was excited to use it but to be honest I get keep forgetting to. By the time I get to sleep at night I'm lucky to remember to brush my teeth.

Suki Exfoliate Foaming Cleanser 

Ha ha, I'm terrible at reading things...I like to dive right in and I don't read instructions or product cards first. So I first thought this was an exfoliate to be used in the bath - like a full body exfoliator. I'm happy to learn its for the face specifically, I'll have to try it out today!

Ok, so I love this cream!! L'Occitane Immortelle Precious Face Cream

I've been using it every day since I got the box. This little sample has gone a long way and there is still a lot left but I plan on buying more when the sample runs out.

Lastly, Jane Iredale Forever Pink Just Kissed Lip Plumper and Cheek Stain

I have used this on my lips before and really liked it. The color was darker than I expected. I don't know if I would like this on my cheeks.

All in all, I thought this box was great. It introduced me to products I've never tried that were all good quality and things I will purchase.

Klutchclub August 2013 Review

Ok, this review is a little late coming...Klutchclub is a subscription box service that sends out a box of healthy snacks and wellness products every month.  They have moms, womens and mens, and best of boxes.  Typically, on holidays they send out codes for specialty boxes - like they had a healthy snack box for $2 plus cost of shipping for Halloween.  Klutchclub is $18 per month if you buy an annual subscription - that is including the cost of shipping.  This is one of my favorite boxes and I am cannot believe I did not review this box sooner.  If you would like to purchase a box you can find them here: http://www.klutchclub.com/account-log-in/

The first box I received was the August 2013 box.  As you can see the box is long and deep... and it is always filled!

 

 

This is a first look at the box:

They include cards that have a lot of information about all of the products that they send:

Some snacks:

The blueberry bar was pretty good and a decent size.  I ate it for breakfast.  The pentra water was fine...tasted like water...I have noticed the are now selling pentra at my local Publix.  The taste of fake blueberries in the antioxidant powder was too overwhelming! Maybe I read the label wrong and the package should be dissolved in a whole pitcher of water but I put it in one glass and was not a fan.  I am not a fan of seaweed, never have been...this were gifted to my cousin.

The box included a moisturizer...which is one of my favorite body products to receive and liquid wound care.  I love this idea - if you get a cut you apply this - its basically gluing yourself back together :)  My mom tried to give her puppy his first haircut herself and the poor thing squirmed so much she accidently cut his skin instead of his fur with the scissors...this caused a visit at the emergency vet where they glued him back together and he was like new...I didn't realize something like this was out for humans, I like the idea. 

Lastly, there were coupons in the box...I like coupons but I am not a huge fan of doing extra work or spending additional money to get items so I don't think I will be using them.

This box was just ok, I wasn't overly thrilled with it but I am a fan of the next boxes that came out - I will be posting them shortly:)
